That would have been with a party lines. They were reasonably common in many areas up until perhaps the mid 80's.

Yup - when I lived and worked in the Marlborough Sounds in the seventies there was a party line down each side of Pelorus and Kenepuru. A dozen or so subscribers on each. The individual subscribers had a morse code ring and the wall sets had a handle to turn to generate the rings - one turn for a dot and three for a dash. Since the lines were No 8 wire strung on fence insulators between trees with earth return, threre were always plenty of clicks and buzzes, so no one could tell if some other party had picked up their reciever to listen in to your call - talk about a bush telegraph!

Absolutely unreal. The family had to conduct the entire investigation themselves and handed it to the 'police' on a plate and they did nothing.
Meanwhile someone was misgendered at a party in Ponsonby and police helicopters were sent from all over the country to attend the crime. '
UN forces said to be heading to NZ also.
Interesting.
They can't check the cameras at the gasser?
If a citizen was reported at the same gasser at the same time muttering 'men can't have babies' believe me the cameras would be checked real fast. But stealing life saving from an 82 year old won't get their interest.
