Lloyd Budd for Whangarei

22/05/2026

Great fun having a chat with Lloyd Burr from Stuff. And a huge shout out to McLeod's Brewery and the McLeod's Pizza Barn, Waipu

I don’t come across too many other Lloyds, let alone one with a last name that’s only one letter different from mine. So who the heck is this imposter?

Today is Pink Ribbon Day 💗 A reminder that early detection saves lives.

Since free breast screening was extended to women aged 70 and 74 last year by Dr Shane Reti MP, more than 16,440 women have already been screened, with 190 cancers detected early.

Each October over the next three years, eligibility will expand further to include women aged 71, 72, and 73.

Tell a friend, check in with your loved ones, and book a screening today.
