The Mish: Your must-read email newsletter for all things Dunedin
From Dunedin reporter Hamish McNeilly:
Last week we launched The Mish - a newsletter bringing you the news from New Zealand’s greatest city.
I’ve been covering everything (and I mean everything) since moving here 14-years ago.
I’ve written about students avoiding lockdown and heading south, the poisoning of an infant, the Highlanders partying and annoying their neighbours, and a controversial weight loss device.
In the first issue of The Mish, I revisited the death of Colin Bouwer, who poisoned his wife in Dunedin. He died in South Africa a year after being deported from New Zealand after serving a lengthy prison sentence.
I also talked to jailhouse lawyer Arthur Taylor, who just so happens to be the proud owner of a former police vehicle - complete with a memorable number plate.
I’m totally committed to cover Dunedin. That isn’t going to change. Now you can read all about the city on Substack.
Thanks to Substack and Stuff. I’m giving newsletter writing a crack. So please sign up (it’s free!), and tell me what you think.
