I’m no apologist for organised crime, but NZ’s underworld is going through a unique event.

Never before has it had the sudden importation of a criminal fraternity that is far more violent than they are.

2000 ‘501s’ have been forcibly removed from Australia and deported here under threat of being renditioned to Christmas Island. Many left NZ as children and have no roots here. 40% reoffend, and there is a sizeable chunk who have seen how much less violent the domestic crime scene is and have started a gang war as they take over the drug trade.

You might expect a catering business to be suffering after a year of Covid-19, but Pacific Soul Food is booming.

Business administrator Etereoa Lafaele says while it was easier to do business before the pandemic hit, it’s exceeded expectations over the past 12 months.

Every week over the past couple of months there has been an event and the business only relied on the wage subsidy once, during the first alert level 4 lockdown in March last year.

Helping children become future leaders can be done in simple steps, and one of New Zealand's favourite fruit companies is encouraging Kiwis to empower the next generation to protect our environment.

Dole - a global fruit producer with ambitious sustainability commitments - has a core philosophy to educate others to live more sustainably, starting with kids. The Dole Promise draws on the spirit of Sampo Yoshi, an 18th century Japanese philosophy that aims for a triple-win scenario, where business is good for the seller, the buyer and the community.
