Join us for our next Council Watch Action Hub as we revisit key content from our first LGOIMA session and take a deeper dive into how these requests can be used in practice.

✋️ This story cannot be allowed to quietly disappear. More than 300,000 NZ teenagers received a second COVID shot after officials had been advised of the myocarditis risk. The questions around what was known, what young people and their parents were told, and who should be held accountable remain. So we’re keeping the story visible. On air. Online. And now, on the streets. Please read it, share it, talk about it, and help ensure the public call for answers doesn’t fade away. 📖 Read our investigation: https://rcr.media/.../more-than-300000-teens-received.../ 📩 And keep across this story and more with RCR Bites: www.biteme.news #RCRMedia

Data centres are suddenly a very big story in New Zealand. But while most media coverage barely scratches the surface, RCR has been digging into the questions underneath it. Power. Water. Infrastructure. Surveillance. AI. Local communities. And who ultimately pays for it all. We’ve spoken to people approaching the issue from very different angles. Here’s our coverage so far: ▶️ Hakeem Anwar: Data Centres Are Coming for Your Resources ▶️ Tom DeWeese: Pushing Back on Data Centres and the Surveillance State ▶️ Two Blokes & A Bot: AI’s Next Frontier ▶️ Larry Blair: Can New Zealand’s Grid Handle a Massive AI Data Centre? ▶️ Kelly Blomfield: Invercargill’s Non-Notified Mega-Projects 🔖 Save this post. Share it. And keep checking back. We’re not finished digging. RCR. Going where the story goes. #RCRMedia

📻 Radio Tip: It Might Be Your Antenna! Think your radio isn't working properly? Before you blame the handset, check the antenna. 📡 A poor-quality, damaged, or incorrectly fitted antenna can dramatically reduce your range. In fact, upgrading your antenna can make a bigger difference than upgrading your radio. Before your next radio net, take a minute to: ✅ Check your antenna is firmly attached ✅ Inspect it for cracks, damage, or loose grub screw connections on the roof antenna ✅ Hold your radio upright while transmitting ✅ Avoid covering the antenna with your hand 👉 Bonus Tip: Inspect cable connections for water ingress. Water in the cable will reduce your range, all outdoor connections should be protected from water with rubber tape. Sometimes the simplest checks make the biggest difference. 📻 Follow RFRN: https://rfrn.co.nz 👉 Join our Telegram community: https://t.me/RebuildFreeRadioNetwork
