EDITORS NOTE: – By the way, here’s a list of shit that will get your comment dumped. Sexist language, homophobic language, racist language, anti-muslim hate, transphobic language, Chemtrails, 9/11 truthers, Qanon lunacy, climate deniers, anti-fluoride fanatics, anti-vaxxer lunatics, 5G conspiracy theories, the virus is a bioweapon, some weird bullshit about the UN taking over the world and ANYONE that links to fucking infowar.
Pretty tired of news stories that include ‘might’, ‘could’, ‘maybe’, ‘someone says’. Might as well run stories such as ‘threat of super volcano wiping out all life on earth’ or ‘possibility of meteor wiping out all life on earth’ for all the value they are giving. Maybe next poll could have the question ‘How much trust do you have in NZ media to accurately portray the news stories of the day?’ Any chance of facts rather than conjecture designed to wind everyone up?
Look for your own news stories as well. Don’t be passive, be active.

The hillsides of Central Otago are known for their golden grass and tussock slopes with scattered low-lying shrubs. But once this landscape was covered in tōtara forest. Now only a few trees remain, cryptic and scattered across the large region, and Ben Teele is on the hunt for as many of them as he can find.
(Taking this further – looking at activity in Scotland.)
