A saucy rebrand brings te reo Māori to Kiwi fridges and dinner tables

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Hi neighbours,

Are you looking for a new pantry staple? A Canterbury restaurateur has launched his own te reo Māori-branded tomato sauce after boycotting another for “bastardising” the language.

Fush owner Anton Matthews has teamed up with Barkers to produce Kīnaki Tomato after removing Watties from his Christchurch restaurant because the company poked fun at Māori place names in an advertising campaign.

Matthews, who has become well-known for championing the country’s indigenous language, is proud to have te reo Māori on sauces displayed on his tables.

When he went in search of a new sauce to accompany his kaimoana (fish) and chips in January, they picked a sauce they loved, and asked the Geraldine-based condiment producer if it could collaborate on a label.

“I’m really stoked that they’ve taken a chance on us.”

Plea to stop

Julie Neighbourly Lead from Havelock North

If you know of someone who has been randomly returning home with armfuls, boxfuls, bagfuls or boot fulls of off cut pine, could you please ask them to stop taking mine.

I’ve gone, since yesterday, from having enough to last till next months delivery, to having enough for a couple of days.

If you know of someone who has been randomly returning home with armfuls, boxfuls, bagfuls or boot fulls of off cut pine, could you please ask them to stop taking mine.

I’ve gone, since yesterday, from having enough to last till next months delivery, to having enough for a couple of days.
Luckily I still have enough hard wood to last, but it means using some of next winters supply.

I noticed, on odd occasions, that it seemed to be disappearing, a little at a time, over the past few months, and just figured someone must be a bit desperate, but this time a lot has gone, and I’m really peeved. It’s for my heating, my water heating, my clothes drying, and often my cooking.

I don’t have electric heating, and don’t want it, and, as anyone with a fire knows, firewood this time of year is really expensive, especially if you have to get it urgently, and there are no guarantees it’ll be dry enough to burn properly.

So please, if it’s you, or you know who it is, stop. Just because I live in a “wealthy area” doesn’t mean I‘m wealthy. I can’t afford to supply other homes.

Rant over.

Perfect entry level boat for the beginner or seasoned fisherman, easily beach launched by 1 person. I have owned this boat for 2 years and has been used pretty much every weekend in the spring and summer months, slightly less in winter but now wish to upsize, have had many epic times on this little gem and rides smooth and can certainly cut through the rough stuff. It will be a shame to see it go but I have my sights on a stabi with 4 stroke.

1 in 4 New Zealand adults will suffer from a mental disorder or distress at some point in their lives. When they do, let’s make sure they don’t have to go it alone. To create safer, more caring communities we need to not only look after ourselves but those around us as well.

For the month of September, we want to use our voice to raise awareness for mental health and well-being. Perhaps consider sharing a cuppa with someone you know who could use the support or challenge your family and friends to unplug from social media for the entire month to improve their well-being. If you or someone you know is going through a rough patch, don’t forget you can call or text 1737 anytime for FREE support from a trained counsellor.

This month also coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day (September 10th) followed by Mental Health Awareness Week (21 - 27 September).

However you choose to take part, make sure to tag us in your posts + use the following hashtag so we can see how you’re cultivating better mental health for yourself or in your community this month:

Zero tolerance on speeding drivers all year round as Kiwi cops get tough on motorists

Hi neighbours,

Do you sometimes drive a few kms over the speed limit? Road police have scrapped their speed buffer on Kiwi roads in favour of a no tolerance approach.

All motorists edging over the limit at any time of the year can now expect to be pulled over and possibly fined, national road policing manager Acting Superintendent Gini Welch confirmed on Friday.

It brings an end to a long-standing convention that law enforcement would let minor speeding breaches slide.


“We don’t have a threshold,” Welch told Stuff, “we don’t have anything other than the speed limit.

Previously, besides zero tolerance long weekends, it was understood police could exercise discretion up to 10kmh over the speed limit.

Thanks to all those who support others.
PS: Remember if you see a post on a Facebook business page and you want to give it some organic advertising, simply clicking on the heart or face emoji helps hugely. The thumbs-up is nice but gives no organic points for google to use to put that business front and centre when people are searching.
Happy Nearly Weekend Everyone!
