Here's a link to Dad's obituary in today's Otago Daily Times, a celebration of his life and legacy.

We're deeply grateful for the many messages, calls, and cards.

1st of a 2-Part Podcast Series ("Extraordinary" produced by @ybcmark) Part 1 explains what it's like to be in a Near Death Coma...and, just maybe, why I'm such a pest about @TfL’s Poor Bus Safety Culture (SPOILER ALERT: That’s Part 2, next week!) https://t.co/7AuajsejfH

Crux just got bigger - as other regional outfits reduce journalism staff and go behind paywalls.

If the mayor of a district won’t even meaningfully engage with a group representing a huge number of ratepayers deeply concerned about a complex issue, what hope is there for ‘‘consultation’’ or even the notion of taking the community’s wishes into account?https://t.co/pH3zpIofU2

" @QueenstownLakes if you're watching this ... we are NOT going away." An update from our WSG Chair, Michael Ross, sent to members this morning, following the conclusion of the judicial review hearing in Queenstown. #wanakaairport
@NZQN WATCH HERE: https://t.co/UActn5BXnJ

[Protect Wanaka @ProtectWanaka]

It was revealed in the hearing that runway plans had been drawn up, millions budgeted by QLDC to move parts of Project Pure away from the proposed runway, and the @QueenstownLakes Mayor & CEO had also written to @NZQN giving them “confidence to carry on” https://t.co/xJic3pK8Vm

Morning all. A superb letter from Wānaka resident and jet pilot Terry Hetherington in this morning's @wanakasun. It reveals the fog and mirrors being used as the airport turf wars unfold in our community... https://t.co/VsskWoKI66 #wanakaairport #tarras #tarrasairport @NZQN

A bald eagle took out a $950 government drone in mid-air as it was surveying a lake in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The drone belongs to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy — abbreviated as E.G.L.E. https://t.co/AFVGkXB8v8

@JimBoult Aren’t you the Chair of this ‘tourism heavyweight’? I thought the Mayor of Queenstown talked up saving locals’ jobs? 🤷‍♀️

Dear world. This is my Dad @AndrewGraystone and I am SO proud, in every way, to be his daughter!

@fraser_anning OMG I’ve just read through your tweets (the ones that are not quite hideous enough to be blocked) and I can’t work out why you’re not in jail #NoMoreHate BIG high five to @cjsbishop ✋

[Nikki McKay @nikheath]

🤔 Do you feel Council has provided you with sufficient information on the proposed major expansion of Wanaka Airport and the required infrastructure? 🗳 let us know here:
