Decimal Currency
BODY:
Today is Decimal Currency day - introduced July 10 1967.
EXTENDED BODY:
Today is the anniversary of Decimal Currency Day, which was introduced on 10 July, 1967.
New Zealand moved from a fractional currency of pounds, shillings and pence, to a decimal system of dollars and cents.

There was nationwide public education campaign to help people make the change. Commercial transactions moved from 1 pound = 20 shillings = 240 pence = 960 farthings, to base 10.
Both retailers and customers had to adjust to the new money and the maths.
Now It Can Be Told
This informational film from 1967 describes how the new money was distributed around New Zealand for people to start using.
"Decimal Currency Day has arrived in New Zealand, the secret so secret that everyone new about it. A national operation controlled by seven people, and carried out by thousands."

Rainbow Warrior crew, police, mark 30th anniversary of bombing
BODY:
It's the 30th anniversary of the sinking of the Rainbow Warrior.
EXTENDED BODY:
Crew members of the Rainbow Warrior and police detectives who investigated the bombing of the ship are among those commemorating the 30th anniversary of the sinking today.

On July 10, 1985, French spies detonated two mines attached to the side of the Greenpeace protest ship as she sat in dock at Auckland's Marsden Wharf. The ship sank within minutes, drowning Greenpeace photographer Fernando Pereira, and sparking years of outrage at the French government's actions.
Among the ship's activist crew was Bunny McDiarmid, then a young deckhand but now the outgoing director of Greenpeace New Zealand. The crew had spent about nine months together by the time they docked in Auckland, and thought of the Rainbow Warrior as home, Ms McDiarmid said.
"I can remember a lot about the Warrior - I can remember the feel of her wooden decks under my feet, I can still remember the smell of the tar on really hot days."
The night of the bombing, Ms McDiarmid had been on board for a birthday party for another crew member, before leaving at about 10pm to stay at her parents' house.
"Martini Gotje, who was the first mate on board, called us at my parent's place just near two or three o'clock in the morning to tell us what had happened and also that Fernando was missing," she said.
She headed straight to the wharf.
"It wasn't really until we saw the Warrior lying on her side against the wharf that we really believed or understood what had happened."

By later that morning, Greenpeace suspected foul play - and, as an unidentified member of crew told Radio New Zealand at the time, disbelief among the crew turned to anger.
"Somebody blew up our boat. They ripped her guts out and killed one of our crew. I feel as if someone had ripped out some of my guts in the process, and I and the rest of Greenpeace will not rest until she or her successor is sailing again," the crew member said.
It didn't take long for the police to link the sinking to the French, after arresting two agents, Dominique Prieur and Alain Mafart, just two days after the bombing.
But France continued to deny any state involvement until late September that year.
Two months later, Prieur and Mafart were sentenced to 10 years' prison for manslaughter - although they served just two years in the end.
Allan Galbraith, who is now retired, was the lead detective in the police investigation into the bombings. About a dozen other French agents the police identified were never held accountable, Mr Galbraith said.
"It was very frustrating that they'd gone. In fact, all of them except [Prieur and Mafart] had left Auckland, and most of them had left New Zealand, before the detonations had even taken place."
Members of the investigation team would gather today to mark the anniversary with a quiet drink, he said.
"It was an extraordinary incident really, that a friendly power would even consider doing what the French did. I still don't really understand their thinking that they could actually do it ... and that they could get away with it."
Bunny McDiarmid said she wanted the anniversary to be a reminder of the importance of activism.
"That connection between activism and acts of courage 30 years ago, and how much that has mattered in New Zealand's history, and has defined what we have done and what we've become as a nation, is really, really important."
Greenpeace will commemorate the day with a photography exhibition, and an activism workshop at Auckland's Cloud on the waterfront - a short walk from the spot where the bombing happened.

The island has had many uses over the years - Māori lived there more than 700 years ago, European settlers had whale boat races there, it was used as a military base in World War Two and more recently it's been a popular day tripping and camping spot. But in the past two decades, teams of volunteers have transformed the island into a pest-free, save haven for many of our most vulnerable native birds.

Sharing some sweetness with Good Bitches Baking
BODY:
New Zealand Society spends the morning with Good Bitches Baking - a group of Wellingtonians who are spreading some sweetness on the Capital's most deserving.
EXTENDED BODY:
Good Bitches Baking founders Marie Fitzpatrick and Nic Murray alongside volunteer baker Claire Terry
One thing we’ve both learnt is how a little bit of kindness from someone on a really shit day is sometimes all you need to get you through a day that you thought you’d run out of the ability to cope
– Nic Murray, co-founder of Good Bitches Baking
Here’s one recipe for a successful charity venture:
Take a good pair of friends like Wellingtonians Nic Murray and Marie Fitzpatrick…
Add a splash of alcohol…
A pinch of adversity…
And a dollop of wanting to give others a little treat during an otherwise tough day…
Stir all of this together and bake…
The result?
Over 200 volunteer bakers around the lower North Island, helping to spread some sweetness for those having a tough time of it.
Good Bitches Baking is the brainchild of Nic Murray and Marie Fitzpatrick. The good friends both have first-hand experience of being on the receiving end of the kindness of others – Nic when her young nephew was undergoing cancer treatment, and Marie coping with a premature baby. Talking about the state of the world one evening over a bottle of bubbly, the two women decided they wanted to be the ‘sorts of people who saw a need and actually did something about it’.
“Because we both enjoy food and baking we thought let’s just start baking for people, just to let them know that someone out there cares and maybe give them a smile for five minutes,” says Nic.
And so the GBB initiative was born. Launched in October 2014, it now has 170 volunteer bakers and drivers on its Wellington roster alone. A chapter in Palmerston North has already established itself with 40 bakers, and Marie says she’s in talks with at least five other groups around the country, including in Auckland, who are keen to get involved.
The volunteers take turns baking or delivering the goods on a weekly roster. In Wellington alone, there are over 26 recipient organisations, such as Ronald McDonald House and the Wellington Night Shelter that receive boxes of baking from the volunteers.
Left: One of the original volunteer bakers, Claire Terry, with a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies.
Right: Wellington Women’s Refuge Manager Philippa McAtee, and Community Social Worker Rita Harris, with a fresh batch of chocolate chip cookies from Good Bitches Baking.
“Our main criteria is that we’re looking for organisations that support people going through a tough time,” says Nic. “We didn’t want to be judgemental as to why people were having a tough time, just that our purpose is to bring a moment of sweetness to people on a really difficult day.”
And so what has reaction been about the slightly unconventional name for the group?
“Good bitch is a phrase that both of us independently always use to describe someone who is a good person and just gets on with sorting stuff out without being a dick about anything,” says Nic. “When we first started we called a few people who thought would have a legitimate reason to be offended by the name, like Women’s Refuge. They roared with laughter… and so we thought ‘well if they’re not going to take offence and anyone else does, it’s their problem.’”
“It’s high praise in our vocab,” chips in Marie with a laugh.
While the volunteers donate their time, ingredients and petrol, Marie and Nic kick-started the venture with money from their own pockets. However, they have set up a givealittle page for non-bakers to donate and have so far raised over two thousand dollars and they're in the process of setting themselves up as a registered charity. All the money raised goes to supplying bakers with stickers, labels and of course cake boxes. The uniform white boxes help with food safety, presentation and ensuring Tupperware containers aren't being chased all over town. They also carry a personal message on the front from the baker to the recipient, as well as the ingredients. “It’s just to let the recipients know that it’s made by hand, with love, and not from a packet or business,” says Nic.
Left: Chocolate chip cookies cooling before being boxed up for the Wellington Women’s Refuge. Right: Claire’s note on top of the box.
“Sometimes it’s a bit confronting to do something kind for a stranger, it does take a little bit of courage… what we’ve done is provide an easy way for people to reach out to others in their community.”

Trustees of the small island in Auckland's Hauraki Gulf are celebrating 21 years of volunteer conservation work. The island has had many uses over the years - Māori lived there more than 700 years ago, European settlers had whale boat races there, it was used as a military base in World War Two and more recently it's been a popular day tripping and camping spot. But in the past two decades, teams of volunteers have transformed the island into a pest-free, save haven for many of our most vulnerable native birds.

He decided to call it a day after being involved in a helicopter accident while hunting near Karamea.

John Knight reckons he's shot and killed thousands animals during his hunting career. He spent much of it deer culling from helicopters on the West Coast.
The work involved hanging off the side of a helicopter with a shotgun or dangling on a chain thirty metres below with a load of dead animals being carried off a mountain.
He says “I used to say you lived within an inch of your life a hundred times a day every day. I've got photos of crashed machines in lakes, in rivers, on the edge of the ocean and up trees!”
John called it a day after being involved in a helicopter accident while hunting deer near Karamea.
Dozens of pilots and hunters were killed in helicopters accidents in the 1970's and 80's on the West Coast.

Wairoa Vet
BODY:
Vet Christine Hahn is used to working on lions, snakes and vultures but now she is turning her attention to working dogs and kunekune pigs. Christine moved to New Zealand earlier this year from South Africa and is now tending animals in the Wairoa region.
EXTENDED BODY:
Wairoa vet Christine Hahn (above) couldn't understand the lightness she'd been feeling lately. Then, she says, she realised she was no longer afraid.
Christine arrived in New Zealand from South Africa to take up her new job in April. The mother of two young children wanted to emigrate because she and her husband were concerned about the high crime rate in her home land.
Christine had been working in a rural area and knew farmers who had been murdered.
"It's very dangerous to be a farmer in South Africa. You are three times more likely to be murdered on a farm than anywhere else… It's really, really terrible and it's a situation that's not getting enough international attention".
Farmers try to protect themselves with high fences, guard dogs, security lights and firearms, and she can't imagine South African farmers leaving their homes unlocked like some farmers do in New Zealand. "And that's what I like. (Here) You don't have to live in a cage."
Christine says while she has mainly stopped looking over her shoulder, she still feels frightened being alone in open spaces.
Christine loves her work in Wairoa and while she is still attending to beef cattle like she did in South Africa; lions, vultures, lynx and snakes are off the patient list.

Apples in a Tin
BODY:
Blocks of new apple trees have been planted in the Wairoa region...but none of the locals or even people overseas will get to crunch on them. The plantings are part of a new venture for fruit and vegetable processing and ingredients company, Cedenco. The Gisborne-based company has contracted a handful of people to grow Braeburn apples purely for processing. It will process the apples using the same equipment as it does for tomato paste. The ingredient will then be used by a New Zealand food manufacturer as a base for its fruit bars. Growers won't be paid as much for their apples as those who grow for export, but because the apples don't have to be perfect, growing and harvesting costs will be lower.
