Dear Mum,
Just a quick note. I hear from Kiwi friends a concert I did appeared on the NZ news. Probably the most recent from what I hear.

I was interviewed by Jude Dobson who was over here.

Nothing spectacular. They snuck up on me while I was rehearsing alone so was interviewed tired, stinky and no make up. Not even decent clothes. It is what it is.

Will write more when get over my cold.

Love you
E xx

What I am asking...did anyone see this on TV just recently, because it must have been one news bulletin I didn't watch...wonder what the segment was. At one time Elizabeth was in the Army Band (first girl in) and now teaches as well as being a respected and popular performer..Just wonder why Jude Dobson was interviewing her and how it came up in the mainstream news.

If you saw it and remember it, can you please let me know what it was about....and which channel it was on because it may be possible to You Tube it - something like that......still my girl..."stinky, no make up, not decent clothes"........Elizabeth has long blonde (assisted) hair and is quite petite, and looks just like her gorgeous and multi talented Mum.....
Thanks guys....

Canterbury's mayors call for extra $1b for region's transport - but can't say what it will be spent on

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from The Press

From reporter Lee Kenny:

Canterbury’s mayors have called for an additional $1 billion to improve transport in the region, but no-one can say exactly what the extra cash would be spent on.

From reporter Lee Kenny:

Canterbury’s mayors have called for an additional $1 billion to improve transport in the region, but no-one can say exactly what the extra cash would be spent on.

The funding is one of three β€œimmediate priorities” in the Plan for Canterbury 2023-2025, which says ensuring the transport system is β€œfit for purpose requires significant investment”.

The document has been drawn-up by Canterbury Mayoral Forum, which is made up of the mayors of Canterbury’s 10 territorial authorities and Peter Scott, chairperson of Environment Canterbury (ECan).

It doesn’t state exactly how the extra billion would be spent, but one transport expert said although the extra detail β€œwould be useful”, it was still a good message to send to Wellington.

A report published on Wednesday said the additional $1b for the region’s β€œvast transport network” is required over the next 10 years as β€œcurrent funding sources do not meet present or future [...] resilience requirements”.

When asked what specific projects the $1b might fund, Hurunui District mayor Marie Black said: β€œAt this point it’s probably not useful to think about specific details, but actually the direction that we are looking is to create a better link and help people mind-shift into that integration.”

Christchurch mayor Phil Mauger was not available for comment, while Ecan was also unable to respond to questions about what the cash would be used for.

The Mayoral Forum report said transport strongly influences economic development, β€œsupporting supply chains that are critical for getting our exports to market and imports back to us”.

β€œCurrent funding sources from local authorities and the National Land Transport Fund will not meet current needs, particularly when faced with resilience issues.”

Although no specific concerns or solutions are stated, β€œthere are options to be investigated”, the report said.

Christchurch transportation engineer Glen Koorey said it was good news that transport was being prioritised by the region’s mayors but greater detail β€œwould be useful”.

Ministers often expect people to β€œpresent a case”, when they are asking for extra funding.

β€œHaving said that, it’s probably a useful message to be able to say to Wellington, we feel we're a bit underserved.

β€œCanterbury has often felt underserved in terms of funding, Wellington often seems to do better for a region the same size, if not smaller,” he said.

β€œI can understand (the Canterbury Mayors) asking for a bigger piece of the pie.”

The Plan for Canterbury 2023-2025 also calls for improved flood prevention and better policies to attract skilled workers to region, as Canterbury’s gross domestic product (GDP) per person β€œlags (behind) the national average”.

Canterbury is New Zealand’s largest region by land area, with 78,000km of rivers and streams, which present β€œsubstantial risk of major flooding events”, the report said.

The mayors are calling on the Government for β€œpermanent co-investment in flood protection”, to shift the focus from disaster relief and recovery to mitigation of flood risks, reducing the long-term costs.

The Rangitata River burst its banks in December 2019 causing widespread flooding, while extreme rain in May 2021 led to a regional state of emergency and hundreds of evacuations.

These recent events demonstrated how vulnerable parts of the region are to flooding, said Gary Kircher, mayor for Waitaki District, which also spans Otago.

β€œFlooding has impacted us probably more than other natural disasters,” he said.

β€œJust last July and August there were multiple flood events around Omarama and Otematata, and we have those challenges across the region.”

The mayors will travel to Wellington next month to outline their aims to ministers.

β€œHaving one voice is going to be more effective and benefit all of us,” Kircher said.

I have lived in New Zealand for the last twelve years, after being born and raised in Somerset, England. My parents ran a playgroup in our house for much of my childhood and I made close friends there, but I still felt isolated and different to everyone else.
I always loved food. We were able to help ourselves from the cupboards at home when I was young, with no restrictions. I believe a normal eater would just eat until they were full, but I could not stop. I put extra food in Mum's shopping basket and would gorge on leftovers at night with my friends. My friend’s dad owned a pub and when the half-eaten plates came back, I would pick chips off them, chatting as I did so, to my friends' astonished faces.
