Starting with the Honours this week, Sue Nolan gets a gong (OMNZ) for services to drug testing in the workplace. Then, the healthcare backlog for prescriptions, and a Blenheim woman who admitted to selling cannabis to RSE workers told police she did it because otherwise they would be “ripped off” by other dealers. Good news: revoking the Industrial Hemp Regulations will usher in big changes for local industries.

Elle spoke to Markus of goldenstar about their latest EP Chamber Music. Written alongside the melting snow of the Montreal winter, the melancholia of their surroundings seeps through into the sparce guitar lines and restrained vocal performances. Its music that lingers within you long after you’ve finished listening. Utterly Brilliant.
