John Farnham: Finding the Voice

Cast: John Farnham, Olivia Newton-John, Jimmy Barnes.
This is the story of an Australian music icon told by those who loved and worked with him.
It follows John Farnham’s life from the quiet suburbs of Melbourne and tracks his personal and public journey as he becomes one of Australia’s most beloved musical artists.
From his early 1960s pop fame, followed by obscurity and his reinvention in later years, through incredible highs and lows. This documents Farnham's record-breaking successes along with his recognition of being ‘Australia’s Voice’.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.
And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.
Check your eligibility, or check for your whānau.

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"
