Queenstown is the epicenter of Omicron in the South Island, with dozens of businesses and hospo venues having to shut their doors because of self-isolation and close contact rules.   
Queenstown is a prime example of just how tough the tourism and hospitality sectors are doing, all businesses are doing it tough.  
Frequently, the family home is holding up the family business, so any failure of a business has huge far-reaching ramifications that go way beyond the immediate family. Julie White, Hospitality NZ CEO says, with Omicron, the end is in sight. They just need a bit of support from the Government and the taxpayer to get them to the finish line.

Do you bite the bullet now or should the support keep going?

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
