The last Waiheke Gulf News to look like this - a collector’s edition! From now on it’s going to be a free broadsheet Gulf News/Waiheke Weekender. In effect, the $3 Gulf News will now be free. Nobody is being sacked. And there’s strictly no A.I.
I quoted you instead! I gave up waiting for a msm story about the murder of the Marsden Fund.
First Royal spoonbill I’ve seen in my life - stalking around the beach at the end of my street, as if he owned the place! #waiheke
I’ve just realised that many NZ musos think the new copyright rules will preserve their income stream in their retirement! Quote from welknown person who ‘knows about copyright’
I agree, we should be more like Finland, whose government expenditure increased in 2024 to 57.5% of GDP. Willis is trying to get ours under 30 percent which is literally insane
Waiheke is water-logged but not particularly windy. Good luck to everyone else. Especially the Bay of Plenty: Rotorua and Whakatāne #CycloneVaianu
Based on the conversion of 1 US gallon to 3.78541 liters, $NZ 4.229 per liter is approximately: $NZ 16.01 per US gallon. I took this photo on Friday at my nearest petrol station
Oneroa, Waiheke Island, a few minutes ago. For my US friends - this is per litre.
@thoughtfulnz.bsky.social I have someone on FB saying NZ excess mortality “went up enormously” after Jan 2024. That’s not right is it
To a Waiheke Islander (New Zealand) that is cheap. Waiheke prices (pointedly reproduced in our community paper) are about to skyrocket (this is per litre - this would be the equivalent of US$7.87 per gallon).
My brother-in-law in his driveway in the Wairarapa. Big trees down, power out. Luckily they are a three-chainsaw-household.
Waiheke survived the deluge with no loss of life - but it was close. An Onetangi man disappeared up to his hat in the flood while trying to keep his pet Pipi getting sucked into a culvert. This is the face of a dog who got sucked into a culvert, escaped and is now a massive newspaper hero.
According to the NYT it was the President of Switzerland who rubbed him up the wrong way…
My latest project. My collaborator is a genius saleswoman - despite requiring a walker and having only one good eye, we have sold 64 copies out of 150 - even before this story in the Waiheke Gulf News appeared today.
