I reckon the Click and Collect is a brilliant idea, but please try and avoid paywalled pieces, will you? I was so keen to read a piece in the New Yorker that I asked about their free trial. They have since I undated my Inbox to the extent that I've had to block them! I certainly can't afford a subscription.

I loved - as always, Toby's piece. I wonder if it ever occurred to Ms Hawkesby to give her surplus money to charity rather than building a swimming pool that, apparently, she doesn't expect to use. I hope part of the resource consent for these luxury projects includes an assessment of, and the need to mitigate, the emissions.

Why are we not taking note of what Canada is doing re Salmon farming? They are rejecting sea fish farming as a cause of pollution, poor quality fish and cruel to the fish because the temperatures cannot be controlled. They are turning to and encouraging fish farming on land. See the detailed report by https://hakaimagazine.com/ people.

There were warnings years ago from environmentalists that salmon farming in the Sounds was risky and inappropriate.

I suggest Kate Hawkesbury go to a popular hardware retailer in November and buy a 2x3 metre temporary pool with filter for around $100. Ours has lasted 3 Summers and still going strong.
