It could be recording a eulogy, a best man's speech, or a grandparent reading books to overseas grandchildren, and is especially pertinent in today’s Covid-19 travel-restricted world.

The role of the Hurunui Waiau Uwha Zone Committee (HWZC) has been in question for the past two years, with claims it is farmer-heavy and biased.
At an extraordinary meeting last week, the Hurunui District Council agreed to press pause on a review of the zone committee that had been planned for this month.
Councillors agreed to wait for a report from staff exploring future options for the zone committee.

A move to free up more land for new builds is likely to see fewer driveways and garages in modern housing, in a move some say could have New Zealand looking like Coronation Street.
Councils across the country must scrap planning rules that require car parks to be put down near new housing or business developments, under newly released housing guidelines.
The change comes as the Government looks to encourage development, in part by freeing up land held up by car parks, under its new National Policy Statement for urban development.
Property developer Phil Robinson said scrapping car park rules was a “big change”, but he was unsure if it was a “big win”.
What do you think of having more new builds in your area with fewer driveways and garages?
