Yesterday I had the privilege of attending the Tāmaki Makaurau DLO Rainbow Hui at Counties Manukau. These Hui are pivotal to providing our rainbow communities the opportunity to hear what the NZ Police are doing in the rainbow space, discuss what they are doing and challenge where more work is needed.

The Hui also provided the opportunity for rainbow groups to deliver presentations on what they do in the rainbow space. Over 60 people attended, the largest since I've been attending!

We caught up with Shaughan Woodcock from SDW Events to ask him which bottle of Loveblock he’s currently enjoying.

“I love Loveblock’s Pinot Noir 2021. I find it the ideal wine for the cooler season although I could drink it all year round to be honest as it’s so smooth, easy on the palate and compliments well with any dish especially red meat and dark chocolate!”
