John Farnham: Finding the Voice
Australia, 2023, Documentary , 95 mins, Rated M
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.

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’.

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home – see if you’re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

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.
