Matata’s Mayoral Flood Relief Fund
will get a $1,500 boost, thanks to Fonterra Edgecumbe’s
award-winning cream plant.
The plant took out the quality
award for cream products at the recent New Zealand Institute
of Food Science & Technology (NZIFST) Awards. The award is
one of six annual awards presented by the Institute’s Dairy
Division to recognise excellence in a range of dairy
products, and comes with a $2,000 cash prize.
Cream Plant
Manager Antony Moess said the plant operators wanted to take
the chance to give some support to friends and relatives
affected by the May floods that devastated the nearby town
of Matata. The balance of the prize-money would be donated
to the Child Cancer Foundation.
Whakatane District Council
Mayor Colin Holmes said the cream plant staff deserved
congratulations, both for winning the award and for their
community
spirit.

In 2023, the government is clutching its pearls because senior Labour MP Damien O’Connor has dared suggest that Gaza’s civilian population - already living under apartheid and subjected to sixteen years of an illegal embargo, and now being herded together and slaughtered indiscriminately amid the destruction of their homes, schools, mosques, and hospitals - are also victims of what amounts to genocide.

“The Human Rights Commission’s appointment of a second Chief Executive is just the latest example of a taxpayer-funded bureaucracy serving itself at the expense of delivery for New Zealanders,” says ACT MP Todd Stephenson. More
New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
