Breakfast Southland with Chitty

Liv Weatherburn is back with another clever, grandma-approved life hack—this time introducing us to the surprisingly simple world of smart plugs. Easy to use and genuinely useful, it’s a “smart by name, smart by nature” tip that could make everyday life just that little bit easier.

Another strong showing for Pioneer, knocking over Tokanui 40–10 — and it’s three wins on the bounce.

Inspired by a 10-year-old Kiwi already running his own lawn mowing business, we put the challenge to our Locker Room kids — if you had to start a business right now, what would it be?

Southland doing us proud on the national stage — Scott and Stacey Mackereth from Edendale have taken out the 2026 Share Farmers of the Year title at the Dairy Industry Awards, alongside three major merit awards. We chat about life running 1,400 cows, the power of strong team culture, lessons from rebuilding post-COVID, and why “going far together” is at the heart of everything they do.

Inspired by the King’s Birthday weekend and the New Zealand Order of Merit, i handed out the ladies a few well-earned (and slightly cheeky) honours of their own celebrating each other in true Chitty style.

Then it was game time, with the ladies putting their acting skills to the test. Two simple sentences, four different emotions—flirty, sarcastic, excited and disappointed. Same words, completely different delivery… and plenty of laughs along the way.
