Good morning,
I hope your weekend is going well. I just wanted to take a moment to say a huge thank you for supporting my writing here. It honestly means the world and allows me to keep writing, researching, and publishing the stories that matter.
As a small way of giving back, I’d like to offer something for my readers who are SuperGold Card holders and who are paid subscribers. If that’s you, and you’d like a little boost, just flick me a message on Substack with a photo of your SuperGold Card - please block out your name and any numbers - just the front will do.
Once I’ve received it, I’ll happily extend your paid subscription for an extra three months, completely free of charge.
When I recently learned how little people receive each week on the pension, especially given the cost of living in this country, it really hit home. This is just my small way of saying thank you - and making sure everyone who values this work can keep reading without worrying too much about the cost.

Thanks again for your ongoing support. It means more than you know.
Cheers,
Matua Kahurangi
