## Resource

Dame Jools Topp, half of the legendary New Zealand duo the Topp Twins, has died peacefully at home after a 22-year battle with breast cancer, surrounded by her family and pets. Her passing stirs national grief as New Zealand also grapples with a dramatic rescue in Mt Roskill, a secret greyhound charter plan, WWII crew saved off Northland, and the ban of a viral robot named Stewie — all amid looming economic uncertainty.
