Southern Squall
On Kiwiology since: November 27th, 2009A Gale of Views on Invercargill, Southland, New Zealand, the world (And yes, it’s all honest opinion).
We’re based in Invercargill, and we write a mix of local news (the stuff not covered in the local daily) and opinion (the stuff probably best not covered in the local daily). We’re former journalists, and whatever news we write comes from genuine sources. We’re not into recycling the work of others so, unless we’re expressing an opinion on something in the news, all the stuff we gather is original.
