The Government has announced funding to go towards trialling a vehicle scrap and replace scheme, which aims to help low-income households swap high-polluting vehicles for lower-emission alternatives, such as EVS.

However, Electric Motor Vehicle Company director and owner Alex de Boer, of Invercargill, believed the subsidies will not encourage Southlanders to make the switch, and he says it could even push up the price of EVs.

We asked, listened, and collaborated directly with farmers in the making of this gear. We tested and re-tested in on-farm environments. We re-engineered what farming workwear can be with your needs front of mind.

We brought our decades of experience creating world-class performance gear. Add to that a legacy of Kiwi innovation, a challenger spirit and a practical attitude that’s been part of Line 7 since we started back in 1963.

Every detail has been reviewed and refined – without overlooking the obvious. Breathable, flexible, functional and comfortable, while still being supremely durable and waterproof. Made to fit farmers of all shapes and sizes, with a dedicated range for women. Built to last, and last a bit longer still, with an included repair kit that means you can fix it up quickly yourself.

Now take it out there, try it on and put it to the test. Wear it out and wear it again. We’re pretty damn confident you won’t be disappointed

If you have ever gone down the time trap that is Papers Past, you can sympathise with reporter Michael Fallow's story.

The entire Papers Past site, presumably in an attempt to be even-handed, also dips into other publications. It contains nearly 90 million articles, mostly from the country’s old newspapers and magazines but also books, letters, journals and a smattering of Parliamentary papers.
