New Zealand’s lush green pastures and temperate climate means our country produces some of the world’s best beef.

New Zealand is one of McDonald’s top ten beef-producing markets and it’s such a hit with the rest of the world that a significant percentage of NZ’s beef exports are to international McDonald’s markets.

We partner with many Kiwi farmers who produce our beef, including Whangara Farms which was the first beef farm outside of Europe to be invited to the McDonald’s Flagship Farmers programme.

ANZCO Foods, based in the small Taranaki town of Waitara, are responsible for making our 100% beef patties. About 90% of the staff at the Waitara plant are locals and they manage to produce around half a million patties each day.

Our quality beef cuts are minced and that’s it. No additives or fillers, just mince that is formed in patties, before they’re flash-frozen and sent to restaurants.

Fear that older people will be marginalised by proposed closure of Kaiapoi's Westpac branch

Nicole Mathewson Reporter from Northern Outlook

If the closure in Kaiapoi goes ahead, people wanting to visit a Westpac bank in person will have to travel 11 kilometres north to Rangiora to reach their nearest branch.

If the closure in Kaiapoi goes ahead, people wanting to visit a Westpac bank in person will have to travel 11 kilometres north to Rangiora to reach their nearest branch.

A Westpac spokesman confirmed the bank had last week started consultation with employees about potentially closing the Kaiapoi branch.


He said the move was made following the end of Westpac’s lease there, and had taken into account a 38 per cent fall in counter transactions at the branch in the past year.


But Waimakariri mayor Dan Gordon said the proposed closure was concerning and would significantly affect the North Canterbury community, particularly the town’s older and vulnerable residents.

Gordon said he hoped to meet Westpac’s chief executive David McLean to lobby for the branch to remain.

1983: The last great royal tour

Good morning neighbours, an old gem for you...

Around 20,000 people came out to watch the Prince and Princess of Wales do a walkabout in Cathedral Square on April 28, 1983, despite “chilly, intermittent and penetrating rain”, but The Press also wondered if royal tours were approaching their use-by date.

The tone of the paper’s editorial was very different from that struck 30 years earlier, when the Queen toured.

“Rapid communications and travel have removed much of the novelty from Royal appearances in New Zealand,” The Press said. “The charm and interest remain enhanced this time by the presence of the future Queen, Princess Diana, and the baby who could some day be King William V.”

The Press looked into the future: “Before the end of the century Prince Charles can probably expect to be King Charles III. His son, at present in Auckland, may well still be on the throne in the unimaginable world of the year 2050.

“Although New Zealand has not the vigorous republican movement evident in Australia, the question is reasonably asked here whether an​ hereditary monarch, living 12,000 miles away, will continue to be the most appropriate head of State for New Zealand.”

Despite this, every move was still recorded and star power was very evident, as The Press reported.

“A faint touch of blue shone through the clouds about 10 minutes before the end of the walkabout. It highlighted the Princess’ hair and brought favourable comments from a cluster of young girls.

“Many people were surprised at how tall and slender the Princess is. ‘Her face is thinner than I expected, but much prettier,’ said one woman.

“The glowing natural complexion of the Princess needed little highlight, just a glimmer of gold eye-shadow, a touch of mascara, and a subtle lip-colouring.”
