Saint Kentigern, which already has campuses in Remuera and Pakuranga has purchased the 1000 acre water front Wilson Bay Farm. It's possible to reach the property by road or through a 90 minute boat ride and it will operate as a third campus. The school said students will get a chance to farm, grow food and learn other practical skills. Saint Kentigern trust board chair Mark Conelly spoke to Lisa Owen.

ACT leader and soon-to-be Deputy Prime Minister David Seymour sent a detailed letter to police advocating for Philip Polkinghorne during the investigation into the death of Pauline Hanna, according to new reports. During the police investigation into the death of the Remuera eye surgeon's wife, Seymour wrote a 1012-word letter to Auckland District Commander Karyn Malthus in April 2022. NZ Herald political reporter Adam Pearse says Seymour accused police of acting 'inappropriately' and invading Polkinghorne's privacy. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Be very nervous. That's my advice regarding the Government's big re-set for state housing provider Kāinga Ora. Don't get me wrong. Some of the stuff it's doing makes perfect sense. But, overall, there's potential for it to be a real cluster. Let's start with the positives, though. It seemed to me that, under Labour, Kāinga Ora had become some sort of urban development agency. In fact, I'm pretty sure that was the pipedream old Phil Twyford had back in the day. Which, when you think about it, is somewhat ironic given it was Labour that came up with the plan in the first place to have the state provide a roof over the heads of people who can't afford their own place. You would think that Labour, of all parties, would have the basic gist of the state housing programme embedded in its DNA. So, tick: I'm all for housing minster Chris Bishop's plan to get Kāinga Ora to focus on its knitting - which is to provide houses and be a good landlord. The Government's also going to sell 800 or 900 state houses a year and demolish about 700. These will, generally, be the old-school weatherboard and tile jobs. The places that people talk about having “good bones”. Two hundred of the ones that are going to be sold are worth around $2 million each - which has more to do with their locations. Some of them are in places like Remuera. And that makes sense to me. Although, to be fair, Kāinga Ora has already been doing this. The Government's just getting it to do more sell-offs. And it's going to replace them with new builds. It's also going to do some alterations to other existing properties. And the upshot is - according to the Government, anyway - is the number of state houses will stay the same as it is now. Woohoo! Big deal! Because, when you think about the fact that there is a social housing waiting list with 20,000 people on it; plus 1,000 households living in emergency housing; the Government crowing about keeping the number of state houses the same is a pretty hollow. On top of that.. According to the last census, there are also 5,000 people living “without shelter”. So you take all of those numbers and, surely, it tells you that we should have more state houses than we do now. In fact, not should - we need to have more state houses than we have now. You'd think so. Well I would, anyway. Not Chris Bishop, though. Labour, of course, is ripping into the Government. Saying that this plan shows it's more interested in cost-cutting then housing people. Which I agree with. And it's one reason why I'm saying we should be very nervous about what the Government is doing. The other reason - in fact, the main reason why I'm saying we should be nervous about the Government's new plan for state housing - comes down to 14 seconds from the minister's interview with Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB this morning. I heard him and thought 'hang on a minute'. He said: "Fifty percent of people on the register, they just need a one-bedroom unit. They don't need a three or four-bedroom unit, they just need a one-bedroom unit. And, actually, we can build that really cheaply and some of the stuff we're doing on the granny flats, for example, making it easier to build one or two-bedroom granny flats on properties will make a real difference there." He's right when he talks about what types of properties people need. This has been known for quite a while. Which is why we've seen Kāinga Ora demolish some of those big houses and replace them with more smaller homes on the same site. And the reason more and more people only need one bedroom is because we do not have as many large families anymore. Society is way different from back in the day when Michael Joseph Savage turned up at 12 Fife Street in Miramar in 1937 to open the very first state house. So yep I get all that. But when we get the housing minister talking about granny flats and state houses in the same breath, that's when we need to start getting nervous. Especially when you join the dots to the minister's announcement yesterday where he said: “Ministers are clear that Kāinga Ora should be building or acquiring simple, functional, warm and dry houses, as quickly and efficiently as possible.” Which, for me, is code for a whole bunch of one-bedroom granny flats built in a rip, shit and bust fashion. And we should be very nervous about that prospect. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a murder trial that gripped New Zealand, and the world. Pauline Hanna was found dead in a Remuera home she shared with her husband, Philip Polkinghorne, on April 5, 2021. What followed was a months-long investigation, Polkinghorne charged with murder, a mammoth trial and eventually, an acquittal. A jury came back with the not guilty verdict in September – a moment that would not be mark the end of this saga. That's because on day one of the trial, former Auckland eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne pleaded guilty to meth charges. Today, he was sentenced to 150 hours community service – for possession of meth and a pipe.

A criminal defence lawyer says the Polkinghorne trial is an example of the criminal justice system working.   A jury has found eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne not guilty of the murder or manslaughter of his wife Pauline Hanna at their Remuera home in April 2021.   The verdict —given at the High Court in Auckland yesterday— followed 10 hours of deliberations over two days.  Criminal defence lawyer Elizabeth Hall told Mike Hosking what we've seen play out is justice working.  She says both the Crown and defence have worked very hard, the verdict is what it is, and New Zealanders need to see that it's justice working.   LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A criminal defence lawyer says the Polkinghorne verdict isn't a surprise.   Eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne was found not guilty of the murder or manslaughter of his wife Pauline Hanna at their Remuera home in April 2021.   The verdict —given at the High Court in Auckland yesterday— followed 10 hours of deliberations over two days.   Criminal defence lawyer Roderick Mulgan told Ryan Bridge if there's doubt, there has to be an acquittal.   He says even though many people were suspicious, it's not enough. There's a high bar and it's difficult to convict people on circumstantial evidence.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The jury in the murder trial of former eye surgeon Philip Polkinghorne has been told not to get swept up in the murder mystery fantasy, as his defence team wraps up its case. Dr Polkinghorne is alleged to have killed his wife Pauline Hanna in their Remuera home three years ago and staging it to look like a suicide. His lawyers have tried to paint a picture of an honest man who tried to co-operate with the police investigation; while the Crown describes Dr Polkinghorne as a master manipulator, capable of murder, Finn Blackwell was in court.

Philip Polkinghorne's wife was in the way of his life with his "intoxicating" mistress, according to the Crown lawyer who today delivered her closing remarks in the trial of the former eye surgeon. He is accused of murdering his wife Pauline Hanna in their Remuera home three years ago. However, the defence denies this and said Ms Hanna took her own life. Melanie Earley has been in court and a warning, this report mentions suicide.

I did want to have a look at the state of our primary healthcare – this is something we've looked at before, and I have absolutely no doubt that we will look at again. I do tend to agree with the GP advocacy group, General Practitioners Aotearoa, that the concept of the family doctor is dead. You're not going to get a Dr Finlay's Casebook again any time soon on the telly. You're not going to see a doctor who has not only looked after your primary health for much of your life, but also that of your family's. These are the kinds of doctors that have gone the way of the moa.   Where I would disagree with the GPA is that they said you wouldn't see the sort of queues for GPs that we saw in South Auckland, in Remuera. I would argue it's just as difficult for people in the blue chip suburbs to get in to see a GP as it is in the poorer areas. It's just the people with disposable incomes can have other options.   A briefing given to Dr Shane Reti when he took over as Health Minister warned that New Zealand is at least 485 GPs short across the country. Remember trying to find the GP in Tokoroa? A GP was looking for somebody to take over the practice - all sorts of offers were put out there, nobody was interested. This number's expected to grow to a shortage of between 750 and 1050 doctors in the next ten years. At least a quarter of a million Kiwis aren't enrolled with a practice. Many of them won't take on any new patients. 1,034,000 people said they struggled to access GP services because of cost in 2022/23, double the number of the previous year. And the impact of this of course is pressure on hospitals, emergency departments, specialist consultations and immunisation rates. Waiheke Island's only afterhours medical clinic closed its doors yesterday; 24 practices and clinics in Canterbury, the Southern Region, Hawke's Bay, and mid Central that provide after hours or urgent care experienced closures or reductions in hours in 2023 because there aren't enough GPs.   There is a tiny bit of good news... in March, the Health Minister pointed to work beginning on setting up a third medical school and record numbers of GP registrars as green shoot, but added, “I understand there are other parts of retention and remuneration we need to collaborate on.”   There is so much need everywhere, across every field, but GPs are in crisis. If a crisis can be something that continues for many, many years, because they have been saying for at least the past five years that they are struggling. Pre-Covid they were struggling. GPs were getting older, new doctors weren't training in the field, they were getting stressed and burnt out because they were seeing so many patients with so much need, and yet without them, they are such an important component of the country's overall health plan that you cannot have a healthy country without healthy GPs. Difficulty in accessing GPs results in pressure on EDs and poorer health outcomes once people do finally get treatment.   I've been with the same GP practice for about 25 years. I don't see the same GP; I've had a succession of really lovely, fabulous GPs come and go. The last one I was absolutely fabulous, but she now only works mornings because she's trying to manage herself, and her family, and her practice, and it's all just overwhelming. It was three weeks before I could get in to see a GP. You expect to have to wait. If it's urgent, they do their best. If it's urgent, you try and get into an afterhours clinic, but you have to have the money to pay and there has to be an afterhours clinic open near you.   So like I say, difficulty in accessing GPs no matter where you are in the country, but if you have money, if you have disposable income, you can get a result a lot more easily. Do we try and attract them from overseas? Do we try and attract young people, pay their student loans if they become a GP?  We've seen what happens when you try and attract somebody with money and all the add-ons and the bells and whistles to get to Tokoroa.  If they don't want to, they don't want to. Have the days of the family doctor gone the way of the moa? We just have to adapt to a new way, a new style of doing things.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A deep dive into Philip Polkinghorne's finances - and payments for sex - was carried out as his murder trial hits its halfway point. The eye surgeon is accused of killing his wife, Pauline Hanna, in their Remuera home in 2021. The Court today's heard about the large sums Polkinghorne paid to numerous sex workers. Newstalk ZB's Chelsea Daniels says he was largely in control of the couple's bank accounts. "All up, the total amount he spent on women between 2016 and the beginning of 2021 was $296,645."

The trial of Philip Polkinghorne has, in theory, hit the halfway mark – with Justice Graham Lang telling the jury it's “broadly on schedule”.  Polkinghorne's accused of strangling his wife, Pauline Hanna, at the couple's Remuera home in April 2021 – before allegedly staging the scene to look like she'd taken her own life.   His defence maintains she committed suicide.   Day 16 focused on Auckland Eye, Polkinghorne's workplace, and how his colleagues found a meth pipe and lighter in one of the consult rooms, and the subsequent drug testing there. Day 17 solely focused on Polkinghorne and Hanna's finances and what a forensic accountant found about the state of them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Warning: This episode contains disturbing material and some explicit language.  How did Pauline Hanna die? That's the question for the jury, who, for weeks will consider evidence and ultimately decide – was it murder, or suicide?   It's also a question put to two different pathologists, tasked with exploring how the 63-year-old died in her Remuera home in April 2021.   Philip Polkinghorne is accused of murdering his wife – but maintains she took her own life.   We also hear from a long-time friend of Pauline and about an incident that worried her and her husband, and we get the first glimpse into Philip's work life – what were the issues at Auckland Eye we've heard so much about?   You can listen to episodes of Accused: The Polkinghorne Trial through The Front Page podcast feed, or find it on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.This series is presented and produced by, Chelsea Daniels, with producer Ethan Sills and sound engineer Paddy Fox.

Day three of Phillip Polkinghorne's murder trial has featured testimony around an orange rope and investigations after the death. Polkinghorne is accused of killing his wife, Pauline Hanna, in 2021 with debate in court today about a rope found on scene.

Hey Guys, welcome back to the Hole In One Golf Podcast, I'm your host Jack Bull. I was fortunate to be joined on this episode by Remuera Golf Club Member & Auckland representative Golfer Matt Cormack, who tells me more about his stand out year in 2023. Matt competed at both Senior and Masters level this year with Auckland, superbly winning both National Inter-Provincial titles at each grade and he was also crowned player of the tournament at the Freyberg Masters held at Awapuni Links in Gisborne- you definitely didn't want to be Matt's opponent this season, but luckily for me, we were on the same team at the Freyberg! As if 3 gold medals wasn't enough this year for Matt, he also added the Bisset Shield with Remuera, the Te Puke Mid-Amateur and the Walton Masters to his wins – what a year! Matt also shares insights into the new up and coming players in the region and shares some of the things he's learnt from the young guns!

More than 300 build-to-rent homes are set to be built next to Ellerslie Racecourse after a KiwiSaver provider bought the land. Simplicity is now the owner of a 1.4-hectare block of land in Remuera. Managing director Sam Stubbs says it's the type of project KiwiSaver funds should be investing in. He spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

I'm thinking the people we should be feeling most for this election campaign are the government's security detail. Judging by the Prime Minister's outing to Otara markets in South Auckland over the weekend, it could be a rough old time on the hustings. Bear in mind, this is South Auckland, Labour territory. The PM was not wandering through Fendalton or Remuera. He was in an area which should have his back, but not this time. Protestors from Freedoms NZ, which it's reported is, “a new political party, joining together the Tamaki-led Vision NZ party and the Outdoors and Freedom Party..” reportedly, “chased him around the market, two on bicycles and others carrying big blue banners, until the prime minister eventually left.” So they caused such a ruckus, they ended Hipkins visit early. From the footage at the event, the person looking most surprised was the PM's security. Chippy just kept smiling. Was he not aware of how bad it was? Did he just not care? Was he smiling to just keep up appearances? But this could be something he needs to get more used to. People are angsty, they're angry, they're seemingly going to make their voices heard. And not always just to offer him a sausage roll. Hipkins was reported saying he won't change his campaign strategy because of it though. He still hopes to get out and about and said he won't curb his movements... is that true though? I don't doubt that behind the scenes the logistics peeps are busy working out how best to avoid this bad press, to avoid this unrest, and to keep him out of the fray. Let's not forget what happened when Jacinda started to get booed in public, she stopped visiting places where she might find an unpopular reception. She stuck to safe spaces like primary schools or Universities, places where she knew she'd be well received. Will Chris Hipkins have to start doing the same? And that's before we get to how much the party is internally disputing how they're tracking, and how much solidarity there is among them as they lose support and lose face, on the back of losing so many Ministers. Hipkins is looking increasingly like a bit of a lone wolf, making a few ‘big calls' but then having them backfire. GST on fruit and vege being one glaringly recent example. How much of it will come down to him though, versus the party's lack of delivery, versus the sheer fact Kiwis are just fed up with the direction of the country and feeling stuck in a never-ending cost of living crisis. If Labour go on to lose in October, what went wrong will be dissected ad nauseum. Was it one too many Cabinet minister dramas? Was it Chippy going out on a limb trying to be all things to all people and instead falling between stools? Was it just tide out time on a tired and out of ideas government? Was it too much media focus on fringe minor parties making a lot of noise and getting too much attention? The next couple of months are going to be crucial for Labour, but many inside the party will be asking if the damage has already been done. However Hipkins has no choice really but to keep showing up everywhere, protestors or no protestors, I guess.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The owners of some of Auckland's most prestigious clifftop homes are frustrated and worried about the future. The storm that hit the city on 27 January broke all previous rainfall records and flooding and landslides caused widespread damage. Reporter Mohammad Alafeshat went to the suburb of Remuera to talk to residents.  

Two people remain unaccounted for after Auckland was clobbered by torrential rain. A man is missing after being swept away in floodwaters just after 10pm in Onewhero -- a second person is missing after a landslide bought down a house in Remuera. Meanwhile Police say two bodies were found on the North Shore overnight. One man was found dead in a flooded culvert in Wairau Valley, the other in a flooded carpark on Link Drive. Deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni is at the Kelston evacuation centre, where are 60 people have sought help. She told Tim Beveridge the flooding in her electorate of Kelston is horrendous.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's more Auckland rail disruption as the network rebuild begins. The whole network was closed from Boxing Day until yesterday, for regular holiday maintenance. Stage One of the Rail Network Rebuild starts today, with Onehunga, Te Papapa, Penrose, Ellerslie, Greenlane and Remuera stations closed until March 19th. KiwiRail Chief Operating Officer David Gordon told Tim Dower it has to be done now to be ready for the City Rail Link. He says the gain is they won't have to shut the network to the same extent as it'll be maintainable on weekends and evenings. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether it's fresh berries for dessert or baby potatoes for the Christmas roast, fruit and vegetables are a crucial category for the holiday shopping list. But with costs up after a year of tumultuous weather and supply chain struggles, the Christmas shop might be a little bit trickier than usual. Remuera-based green grocer Jack Lum shared his tips and tricks to finding the best fresh produce.

Businesses in Auckland's Remuera are taking matters into their own hands to fight crime. The local business association has spent 180-thousand dollars installing a security system that can track the movement of vehicles and people. Remuera Business Association's Natalie Wright says it's all about safety. She says these youths are running around town, smashing and grabbing, and it's making tenants and shop owners scared.

Auckland surgeon Philip John Polkinghorne has pleaded not guilty to murdering his wife, Pauline Hanna. Hanna was found dead in her home in the Auckland suburb of Remuera in April last year. Amy Williams has been in court. She joins Lisa Owen with the details.  

An investigation's underway after Auckland Council staff classified an elderly homeless woman, who was later found dead in her car, as a freedom camper, and had not done more to help her. Yesterday City Mission staff went to check on the woman, in her 70s, and found her dead in the red Suzuki Swift. The car was parked on St Vincent Avenue in the affluent suburb of Remuera. Auckland City Missioner Helen Robinson talks to Lisa Owen.  

Yesterday afternoon I walked up Onehunga Mall on my way to a walk around Cornwall Park, and was startled to see a sign up on the Onehunga Fire Station doors announcing they were: Closed Today. No Staff.  I've been strolling, running, and driving past this Fire Station for 15 years, and I've never seen this before. Normally you get a friendly wave. Yesterday, the doors to the station were covered in signs about the #firecrisis and being understaffed for 9 days.  On June 12th the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union announced firefighters would go on a partial strike after a year of negotiations with Fire and Emergency New Zealand had stalled. It's important to note this strike action is largely behind-the-scenes and doesn't affect firefighters, who will continue to respond to fires and emergencies.  Being on strike is not the reason both the Remuera and Onehunga stations were short staffed yesterday, but it is one reason why the NZPFF are striking. They claim Fire and Emergency NZ haven't employed enough staff and as a result trucks are being taken off-line, unsafe short crews are having to keep trucks going, and firefighters are at times doing up to 100 hours a week to keep the trucks going.  This is of course the extreme end of things. But when I did talkback about this a few weeks ago on Kerre Woodham mornings, most firefighters or families of firefighters who called in said they were facing burnout from the overtime required to keep services afloat. The firefighters are fighting for increased pay, mental health and wellbeing support, and recognition of the high risk of contracting specific cancers due to exposure to carcinogens at fires. Considering the nature of the job, this seems reasonable to me. Responding to medical emergencies, motor vehicle incidents, search and rescue, civil defence, natural disaster responses and, of course, fires must make for a strenuous and emotionally challenging job at times.  Our fire service, which is mostly funded by the Fire Levy we pay, is 85% volunteers, and they do an incredible job. I've picked up on a little tension between the volunteers and career fire fighters, but we need both sectors of the service to be working to the best of their ability.  An understaffed station without the staff for a day-shift doesn't give me confidence FENZ is functioning as it should be.  This is an Auckland wide problem that's also affecting Parnell, Titirangi, and Birkenhead stations as well. A systemic issue that stems from a historic lack of funding? Maybe. Vaccine Mandates don't help either right. But whatever the problem, it's time to fix it and fix it properly.  

Fabrizio è di Torino e da tre anni vive ad Auckland con sua moglie Taryne e i loro bimbi Dante e Brando. Si sono trasferiti dopo 14 anni ad Hong Kong dove entrambi lavoravano nel mondo dell'ospitalità e qui hanno aperto il ristorante Spiga a Remuera. La passione di Fabrizio per la cucina inizia nell'infanzia trascorsa con le sue nonne, una del sud e una del nord, mentre i genitori lavoravano al mercato. Dopo aver fatto la scuola alberghiera a Torino, ha iniziato a lavorare al pluripremiato ristorante Pensione Flipot in Valle Pellice e poi ha continuato la sua carriera in Italia fino ai 25 anni. Nel 2005 invitato da un carissimo amico va a lavorare ad Hong Kong, nel noto e frequentatissimo ristorante italiano Goccia. Erano anni di grosso benessere economico ad HK e c'era molta energia nel settore dell'ospitalità. Nel 2011 ad una riunione di cuochi conosce sua moglie, si sposano, apre il ristorante NOM mentre Taryne continua l'attività di catering. Dopo anni molto busy ad HK decidono per un ritmo famigliare più tranquillo ad Auckland. La filosofia culinaria di Spiga ha “l'anima italiana con qualche tocco innovativo”. Usano prodotti artigianali cercati personalmente in Italia, da produttori che lavorano con passione nel rispetto delle tradizioni. Fabrizio ama cucinare piatti che richiedono cura, a lunga cottura come gli stufati, l'osso buco o il ragù napoletano di nonna Nunzia. www.spiga.nz Ringraziamo lo sponsor di questo episodio, la Società Dante Alighieri di Auckland  www.dante.org.nz Ondazzurra è in diretta ogni domenica alle 11.20 su 104.6 FM  

Plans for high density housing in Auckland could see up to 5000 heritage homes lose their special status making it easier for them to be bulldozed. The city council is required to boost housing across the city and it has released draft maps of the areas proposed for six and three storey apartments. Many are suburbs with character villas like Devonport, Kingsland and Remuera. Jonty Dine went out for a visit.

Scientists reckon they have come up with a winning formula for the male contraceptive pill, it was 99% effective in mice. But is the world ready for men to take the pill?  Remuera neighbours are upset about a new 13-townhouse development next door... they say it's "the absolute demise of the Kiwi way of life".  A UK writer says it's the season for short men – and we're getting over the mantra that men must be taller than women they go out with. Is that really true? Trish Sherson, Sherson Willis PR, and Neil Miller, former National Party staffer, joined Andrew Dickens on The Huddle. LISTEN ABOVE 

Is housing intensification going to destroy the Kiwi way of life? A new Remuera townhouse project planning to put up 13 new homes is causing issues within the community. The plan, however, is fully legal under Auckland's intensification plan.  Matt Lowrie, greaterauckland.org.nz editor, joined Si and James. LISTEN ABOVE

So here we are approaching the next hurdle for Christopher Luxon to vault; the choosing of his shadow cabinet.  Last week was spent facing the media and the public in walk abouts. The media indulging in their age old game of playing gotcha politics.  For those who don't know the gotcha, it's about asking a question that draws the subject into an awkward reveal.  Jessica and Tova had the opening gambit which was on how many houses Luxon owns. That backfired, as anyone who heard talkback the next day will tell you. All the callers saying that there's nothing morally wrong with owning property and it's a sign that he's successful.  But that wasn't the gotcha. The gotcha was when Jessica asked how much his Remuera home was worth. Christopher was $2 million off. The implication was that Christopher doesn't understand the implications of the housing crisis, or has no idea about his own balance sheet, which is a problem if you want to give him the keys to the country's balance sheet.  There was a double whammy when both Luxon and Nicola Willis were a hundred bucks off when asked what the average rent was.  But the answer that I found most interesting was Christopher's reckon on the living wage. He thought it was 28 bucks when in fact it's 22.75.  The minimum and living wage has always been opposed by National in that it affects small business owners, but here was a National leader thinking it was higher than it was.  But, combine that with his view expressed on Q and A that he supports a higher minimum wage, if the economy can afford it.  This is a new view for the National Party.  And I like it. It shows someone who finally understands economies.  For too long we've been called a low wage, low productivity economy with expensive infrastructure and transport.  Anyone who gets that lifting the bottom will in fact lift us all, has a nod of approval from me. 

On today's podcast, the boys talk about the logistics of running a large dairy in the 90s...

As if this week's not tough enough and we're not rarked up enough already, now they want to carve up heritage houses for more development. A new bill aims to force councils to allow more dense housing. The "new intensification rules will allow buildings of up to three storeys on most sites in cities without any need for resource consent from August 2022,” we read yesterday. This is basically a green light to development and a way of addressing housing supply. Councils have previously made access to land difficult; this turns the tables. It takes more power off Councils and reduces impediments to progress, and that's no bad thing. What might be ruffling the feathers of the latte set however, is whether this snazzy new drive for development winds up on their front door step. A South Auckland Councillor has said that it needs to include wealthier suburbs too. So those sitting pretty in a 200-year-old villa in Remuera, or Kelburn or Fendalton may well be looking down the barrel of a 3-storey development going up next door. In some areas it's up to 6 storeys. How palatable will be this be for them? I can tell you it'll go down like a cup of cold sick. Low density houses in suburbs in metropolitan areas are already feeling the squeeze with infill housing and developments like apartment complexes springing up around them.  A green light to more of it will have people worried. I get both sides of the argument, on the one hand we need more housing, no question, and we need it to happen quickly. But on the other hand, who's overseeing whether quiet neighbourhoods will turn into bustling ugly concrete jungles?  Threats to remove heritage overlays or to reclassify them risks losing, not just the history of suburban areas, but also the architecture, cityscape, urban landscape and design aesthetic. If sprawling bungalows lovingly maintained in Merivale or Mt Albert or Maori Hill suddenly have to make way for 3 or 6-storey-high concrete apartment buildings, then what does that do to the value of an area? Will this devalue already established homes? Will there be a flight to certain areas, thus rearranging the whole current make-up of suburbs? Or will value of the ancient villa on a one-thousand-square-metre lot actually go through the roof because they'll soon be like hens teeth?  And how much is it costing to throw your 3-storeys up on land in wealthier low-density suburbs anyway? Where, by the time you're done, the price of the finished development will be out of reach of any first home buyer. Will this pump the market up? Or pump on the brakes? I imagine it's a gamble that'll have heritage home owners feeling a little uneasy this morning.

High rise apartments of at least six stories could be on their way for Auckland suburbs. The Government's national policy statement is forcing Auckland council to allow more intensification across the city. The likes of Remuera, Mt. Albert, and Milford on the north shore - all currently zoned for single houses - will see the biggest impact. Property developer, David Whitburn told Heather du Plessis-Allan it's a move that's needed. “As Auckland stands with 1.7 million people, we do need to go up instead of out, there's a limit to how long we can spend on the Southern motorway in massive traffic jams”. LISTEN ABOVE

On Wednesday morning, at the same time as news filtered out of a positive Covid-19 case going on a tiki-tour of Wellington, an operation was being executed with military precision at a retirement village in the Auckland suburb of Remuera. The Detail's Emile Donovan went along to see how an operation like this is run; how residents are feeling about it; and talk about how the 70-plus demographic has first-hand experience of the difference a vaccine can make.

Where it has been tried by the Romans, Attila the Hun to Hitler but they never achieved a truly global conquest. Well, today this is the latest ambition of globalists: the 0.001% and they have technologies that reach deep into peoples homes and by using psychological means are able to monitor all differing contingencies within the soul of all nations. Not only that, they have a level of centralisation of wealth and power - and corruption that has enabled an unprecedented attempt to destroy freedoms and rights - globally. The pretext for this 'has been in the works' for quite a long time - this has been a result of decades of 24/7 (well paid) think tanks and strategies and planning. (e.g. supercomputer scenarios). What we are seeing now is a culmination of the most ambitious tyrannical project to be conceived by human aspirants to totalitarianism. And the pretext for this is which is the perfect pretext - basically it’s so much better than the terrorism bogeyman or some nation as a bogeyman - it's a microbe -  Joe says that it is pathetic - that fear has been unleashed on the global population and that it has been ramped up to such a degree it is causing psychological havoc among the human population. That they are giving up their rights and freedoms and that using as the pretext - germs as a disease on the human race.  So as to be cowered at this moment to be controlled and become servile and allow the removal of democratic freedoms and human rights. It is so easy - especially when you have the total corruption of ‘mainstream corporate mass media’ - and he says let's face it - they are the linchpin -  saying that none of this would be possible if we had a shred of real journalism left in widespread mass media. Robert F Kennedy Jnr is mentioned as a world beacon to sanity  Del Bigtree on the highlife  Dr Andrew Kaufman  Dr Judy Microvitz  Rasheed Buttah The World Doctors Alliance  https://davidicke.com/2021/04/02/vaccine-depopulation-a-must-watch-david-icke-dot-connector-videocast/  Joe says that when you see a famous figure who is being savagely attacked and being discredited by the establishment especially by MSM - that alone is a signpost that - that person is 'over the target' and is standing up for truth. That they have everything to lose and nothing to gain - so why would they be saying it as opposed to those ‘shills’ who are on the payroll and are in the establishment ladder of promotion and perks and grants etc - which are attacking them. Tim asks for bravery at this moment of time - asking for New Zealanders to stand up and have the spine to be the 5 million to take the time to research and see what is really happening and Joe says that he feels that in NZ there is a lot of possibility for us to come through this - due to the fact that the Health Department is not going to be deploying the full force of the vaccine program for some months into the future. This gives us a very unique situation because we can assess what is happening globally. Especially we can see what is happening in the UK as around half their population have been injected and also in Israel it is the same. Facebook still has some very compelling stories about what is happening in these countries.  We can also look at NZ as things are really heating up with the death of Pauline Hanna of Remuera on the day of her (supposedly) second Pfizer jab and the NZ media taking her off the front page and censoring all information relating to this.  This is like the smoking gun - it proves totally what Joe is conveying about our sell out media marching to the beat of a (very) different drum.  NZ Border and Health Workers to Take the Injection?  Also, the NZ government, attempting to force border workers and other public (health) servants to take the vax  with a ”No Jab, no job” policy.   (Tim, we can not have our border security officials and personnel being used as guinea pigs - same for our soldiers who are here to protect the integrity and sovereignty of our borders. We have to protect our protectors. If they all become unwell - who will then take their place? Plus, who would want to?)  Once enough people become aware - rapid ‘conscious change’ can happen. Joe intimates that when enough people become more knowing and receive more uncensored but ‘truthful’ information, there will eventually be a flip and change will rapidly unfold. Citing the fall of the Berlin Wall virtually over night and the fall of the Soviet Iron Curtain - (and even Apartheid in South Africa) - that seem to fall instantly - and rapid change can happen when the people are ready for a more transparent paradigm. Saying this change has been building incrementally over time - until it reaches a critical mass - and he thinks it is just a matter of time - be it globally or in each country in their own time - but certainly in NZ we have been blessed in NZ with some extra time. So as to get a better handle of the dynamics and lies relating to covid and the vaccine rollout. You can see patients in the US in hospital beds, on FB and Telegram - in one case a Johnson & Johnson injection one day - blood clots, seizures and aneurysms in the brain the next day - and our government has all New Zealanders lined up for this - and we are being herded somewhat like down a cattle chute to a destination no one ever in their wildest nightmares would believe - especially what a 'kind' government would do!  What is the blatant hurry - when we have contained whatever it is? Let's wait and see what is happening world wide and check up on the people who have been injected and see how they respond over the next 6 months or so. At present we in NZ are still able to export food, and yes, we are not producing to the amount that we would like - however when it comes to the health of our citizens - can we not wait this out? REMEMBER - not one baby, or infant, child, teenager or twenty something has died in NZ from Covid. So let us wait for a little longer. We must be aware that NZ’s indigenous people the Maori have already been overridden at so many levels by British colonial power and if they are coerced into having their physical sovereignty breached by injection they may very well rebel - (this is what some Maori are muttering)  and anyone in the know - realise that for the last 60 years plus, many Maori have been trained as soldiers and are still wise in the ways as to how military operations are deployed.  Therefore if ‘ordinary’ Maori are neglected in the decision making process and decide to ‘not comply’ in mandatory vaccinations this could very well overflow and instil courage in the young into how to resist being vaccinated. Also mentioned, is the elderly - many who have lived long enough to have witnessed enough lies and betrayals in the political arena over their lifetime and have seen tyranny before and they will not be so easily led as more ‘concerning’ information comes to public knowledge due to social media skirting MSM programming. Plus, a lot of immigrants have seen tyrannical regimes far more than any New Zealanders - so they too will be on edge. So 'taking out' those most dangerous groups first would be an obvious campaign strategy. Joe also says that where we have found ourselves today, is in essence a result of us allowing the system to roll on without any direct participation. Voting every 3 years is not participative democracy. We have in so many ways just stood by for decades and watched our governments and the elites, the wealthy and powerful corporations run away with their own game plan. From the larger context, virtually abuse and disempower Third world countries, taking over and playing power games over them. See Latin America, South East Asia and Africa, especially the Middle East - we the Western countries have interfered for too long. Joe goes on to repeat what happened in Germany in and around 1933. Remember These Famous Words.  First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out—because I was not a socialist. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out— because I was not a trade unionist. Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—because I was not a Jew. Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.  That we today are culpable at this point because we became complacent, lazy, distracted and eventually thoughtless ... like acquiescent and apathetic  .. and by us not involving ourselves we have eventually come to this point. And it takes what it takes to wake us up! So he says it is all perfect - we are now in a situation where we can re-right the ship of state - we now have an opportunity to involve ourselves and to even take another meme from America - drain the swamp! That by involving ourselves we have to take the high ground and surmount what is being diabolically projected on us and take the required legal action. By cooperating together we can take the required action to stop this adulterated evil that has the world in a tightening vice like grip.  So we have to rise to the occasion or we submit to being a casualty and that is precisely what is lined up for us. NOTE: the noble path is that 'the means justifies the end' - whereas the darkened shadow side goes by 'the ends justifies the means.'  Both Fascist and Communist will adhere to this power play.  This is what the burning of the Reichstad in Germany in 1933 or the 911 'Inside Job' in America - evil never believes in goodwill, honesty, truth, principle - basically power comes out of the barrel of a gun that will be used on you - at will. We in NZ have been far to spoilt and complacent and now that we in our oversight mode - we can see that the Government is being prodded by unseen powers and vaccine manufacturers - and are herding us down a cattle chute and there is becoming less and less wriggle room and as we put our head up and look further down to where the authorities have set up an injection station - we see the writing on the wall - and we realise that we never ever read the small print - we have let 'eternal' vigilance fade away ... so ... what is it to be?  Joe says now ... everyone will face a line in the sand.   Listen - Subrogation or your Sovereignty - your choice - LISTEN  A defining moment and a very necessary moment. Joe mentions this in the first few moments of the interview and didn’t elaborate - and I omitted to have him explain about the Kali Yuga. It is about the Hindu calendar, telling of the 26,000 years cycle and we are in the darkest of this cycle at present. ‘Where the shadow gets its chance to dance and matter becomes its densest. Taking the Children’s Attention Away We are having to see our children mesmerised and hypnotised with screens and super edgy everything on devices. He questions subliminal activities on the screens and events happening below conscious eye level with frequencies that are unseen. Thus going on beyond their overt propaganda as to what is really happening via these screens;. Joe has lived in NZ since1985 and when first here he saw a certain depth of thinking and general awareness of average New Zealanders - today 2021 - he sees a deep deep sleep and a lack of common sense or willingness to put 2 and 2 together - or willing to see the obvious when put right in front of one's eyes. So he is very suspicious of the ‘screen age’ especially since the year 2000 technological prowess has created this sensation, leading to virtually all children by 10 having access to a phone,ipad or tablet of sorts  Controlling Mechanisms Being Deployed in Plane Sight. Our Natural Support Systems  This includes our air, water and food and chemtrails and the full spectrum attack on body, mind and spirit and blocking the pineal gland with substances such as fluoride - that this is all basically the most evil attempt he has ever been to prevent human evolution - the spiritual evolution of humanity.  Bill Gates is mentioned - the billionaire and the Bilderberg group, the Trilateral Commission, the Council of Foreign Relations and the Club of Rome and all the elite secret organisations that have been planning depopulation for a very long time - see the Georgia Standing Stones. https://www.wired.com/2009/04/ff-guidestones/  Listen  Unbeknown we are to be surrounded by frequency assaults - millimeter waves within the 5G spectrum - beyond just mobile phones - because they are criminally insane. https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/ray-broomhall-spacex-plans-40-000-more-5g-global-microwaving-satellites-threatening-life-on-earth  World Economic Forum and the Great Reset For example, Klaus Schwab - the Davos - World Economic Forum - a Rothschild Agenda - and they are 'programming us with the thought that in the near future we will not own anything and we will be happy! https://www.weforum.org/great-reset/  Joe says that the government no matter what party - are servants to other masters and he says that they actually know it. They are not really our servants any more ... such is the way all governments around the world are today - they have all been infiltrated and are not really answerable to their constituents any more - hence wanting to fluoridate all NZ water that affect children's intelligence negatively and that also calcifies the pineal gland - (something thing that mainsstream health professionals don't really know about anything of its existence). https://www.ourplanet.org/greenplanetfm/dr-paul-connett-dr-vyvyan-howard-declan-waugh-fluoride-is-a-neurotoxin-that-reduces-iq-of-children  That ‘they’ - especially in little recent New Zealand - are now corralled and are in ‘way over their heads.’ Especially small countries like NZ - They are in essence - being pushed around and if things go 'south' - and Government collapses due to an awakened electorate and society - they will be classified like the French Vichy collaborators of Germany in the 2nd World War. A POSITIVE OUTCOME FOR NEW Zealand and the future of Children. Joe sees NZ as being a land of opportunity and innovation and creating a new bio harmonic holistic society. That NZ can still be the emerging microcosm for the planetary macrocosm - because we have basically good infrastructure in place and a wealths of knowledge from the past as well. New Zealand has so many Superb things going for it as a Country We here are still not commercially growing genetically engineered food - BUT the higher ‘monetarist’ echelons want to dilute our natural seed and crops with GE and GMO’s and if they can sneakily weasel their way through NZ’s biosecurity, they will do it.  That we are also still a Nuclear Free Country and no super power can bring a ship with nuclear weapons on board or be nuclear propelled - into our territorial waters - especially our harbours, is a position of both sanity and a better future for children. Joe calls on the movie Lord of the Rings to learn from its message. An Extension of Lord of the Rings NZ can become a beacon and a light for the rest of the world.  That Joe draws from left field the fact that the movie trilogy Lord of the Rings was filmed in NZ - and that Tolkin the author was a special human who understood many aspects and qualities of human nature. But more so, that Joe had a reaction to this trilogy because it was left out of the film. Hence the heading. This Joe thinks is a tragedy because the ‘Scouring of the Shire’ was not included by NZ director PeterJackson - (I agree) - because it is all about cleansing and the rebuild - the flowering of their civilisation once again to bring all people together - to be free, and honest and experience joy and allow life to flourish - and they they lived happily ever after ... What happened in this deleted part is very analogous to what is actually happening now - that we need to roll up our sleeves and bring about a new NZ and with entrepreneurial vigour and team spirit and save the day. The pity that this segment of the book being left out by Peter Jackson sadly did not show us this mirror that could have empowered New Zealanders to co-operate more and come together as a dynamic and synergistic, holistic, family of creative beings. Supra Hobbits :)   Joe states that this was one of the most important and satisfying chapters in the book !! And a very important closure of the whole book. Because the small team of Hobbits came back to the Shire to see that Sauron’s minions had taken over the Shire and essentially sucked the life force and light out of it. Trees were being cut down and factories were replacing them - but upon their return - they were so empowered and had transcended fear, that when they entered the deeper part of the Shire their courage and shear brilliance in being, inspired the Shire Hobbits to overthrow these empty pretenders and then the the Shire became free once again - but even more so.  Joe says that it was a major pity that this was missed out of the book - because it was a metaphor for NOW - it was such a critical juncture in the history of the Hobbits and the Shire - the success of this, had it been filmed would have put Nuclear Free NZ and (nearly) GE FREE NZ  blazingly out these on the world map - but ... you can think your response here .... Also: Kudos to Sue Grey and her growing team and the High Court case against the Medicines Act - and that what the Government is doing is essentially against the Law. Joe is confident that critical mass is already encroaching and that NZ will be one of the first to turn the illegal vaccinating of NZs - around. We have to be patient  and only empowered - the system is unwieldy - because it is driven by ideology and not love - especially for the human species  Joe says though he wants to help and he does - ‘we can not be our brother’s keeper’ and that we can be too attached to results -  knowing we are all on our own journey. Everyone has their own karma - everyone has their own lessons to learn and we can not judge lessons that might be for someone else. That we have compassion but also a certain level of detachment.      https://www.zerohedge.com/political/we-are-now-entering-full-blown-tyranny-western-world Thomas Wyse - "PUBLIC HEALTH ANNOUNCEMENT There’s a serious pandemic sweeping the globe. It’s called the Propaganda Virus. It’s affecting billions of people around the planet every day. The Propaganda Virus is a neurolinguistic pathogen created by humans as a biological weapon for mind control. It is comprised of language, cultural symbols, and memes designed to manipulate the masses toward a particular point of view in order to control opinions and behavior. The virus is transmitted through all forms of media communication and is particularly prevalent during political season. The Propaganda Virus spreads by getting others to accept a proposition without challenge on logical, factual, or judicial grounds and to act in service of those false beliefs, side-stepping critical response in favor of emotional reaction. Repetition of suggestion and/or insinuation is one of the most effective means the virus uses to infect the masses. Those affected may experience loss of personal agency and/or rational, independent thought which can lead to hatred, delusional thinking, severe depression, extreme emotional volatility, and in some cases deadly aggression toward self and others. Since the advent of the internet and social media, the Propaganda Virus can now spread like wildfire through the airwaves to the entire global community in real time. The Propaganda Virus is highly contagious and can survive undetected in the human brain disguised as personal conviction. Protect your immune system through a build up of critical thinking skills. Do not consume and share media from biased sources with an agenda, and be sure to cleanse your brain daily with meditation while cultivating a positive mental attitude as negativity, fear, worry, and stress is a breeding ground for infection. If you believe you’ve been infected by the Propaganda Virus then stop ingesting mass media immediately, pet a dog or cat, and consume a healthy dose of Nature until fear subsides and rational clarity is restored. All is well. 100% of those reading this will probably die anyway, eventually. In the meantime, it is advised that you live happily and spread love instead of fear. Thank you!
