Hey Blurtstars

We are gutted here at The New Blurt. We were hoping Australians would find it in their heart to recognise the First Nations of this country and enshrine their Voice in our Constitution. Wencee and the Kegsta were working as hard as we could to make it happen.

Alas, the majority of Australian voters did not agree with the proposal. So, to respect the First Nations wishes, we will have a weeks' silence before we talk more in depth of where we go from here to get First Nations reconciliation back on track.

First off the bat: Across The Dutch, we will talk all things Kiwi.

Then in our last segment, Green There Done That, we will talk about how electric bikes are taking over.

Tune in and find out on https://www.youtube.com/@thenewblurt7773, with Wencee and the Kegsta.

What’s better than an electric vehicle? An electric bicycle. It’s great for short distances and better than driving to the local shops for some milk! Here’s more information about why more Australians are investing in e-bikes →
