From reporter Steven Walton:
Christchurch’s 30,000-seat stadium, Te Kaha, has blown its budget by at least another $50 million, Stuff understands.

City councillors will soon have to decide whether they either increase the $533m budget once again, head back to the drawing board or pause the project.

Council staff are refusing to comment on the spiralling costs, saying more information will be available in the coming weeks.

But the council has advised the Treasury of issues with the budget, a spokesperson for the Government department said. Read more here.

Hay or barley straw available somewhere near Tai tapu or who will deliver

Kim from Tai Tapu

Does anyone know of anyone who has hay or barley straw to sell who is near Tai tapu? Or even better can deliver (I can pick up though if needed but if someone can deliver I’m happy to cover the cost of that)

Hi guys

Does anyone know of anyone who has hay or barley straw to sell who is near Tai tapu? Or even better can deliver (I can pick up though if needed but if someone can deliver I’m happy to cover the cost of that)

I need it in the small bales that I can pick up and carry myself, not the big squares as I have a very small area that I rent and there is no way to get a large square into the area where it would be storing it. For the same reason I need to get a few bales on a regular basis rather than a large amount of hay/straw in one go as I don’t have the space to store more than maybe 6 bales tops and keep it dry.

I have a number of ducks and rescued ducks who normally free range on the halswell river, however there is currently an outbreak of either botulism or another toxin on the river which means I am having to get as many as possible of my ducks off the river and into a run to keep them off the river.
Because ducks are messy creatures who like to turn anything into mud, I need about 2-4 small bales a week of hay or barley straw to keep the run sanitary.

I have been picking it up from dawes but they are out of barley straw and it didn’t look like they had heaps of hay so possibly they will run out of that soon too.

Would really appreciate any referrals to anyone who might have a good supply of barley straw as first preference or hay as second.

Anyone who has some to sell can contact me by calling or texting 020 406 41485, text preferred.

Thanks

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

Wanted to buy, fishing net with a looong pole. Suitable to catch ducks

I am looking to buy a fishing net with an extendable pole.

I have used one that an animal rescue from Wellington had which they said they got from a hunting and fishing store (presumably in welly) for around 80. It from memory extended out two or three times it’s contracted length, and the pole was about maybe 2.5 -3 or more metres (not including the net part)

It is needed to catch ducks on a river and the pole needs ot extend the net as far as possible. I already have nets with standard length poles of around one metre or so and am looking for something with significantly more reach

I have already visited a whole load of hunting and fishing stores and bunnings and various other places and not been able to find what I want. If anyone has one to sell or knows of somewhere that does have what I need, please text me on 020 406 41485
Thanks
