War in the Motu
Sunday 12 June, 11:00 AM – MIDDAY, Waimarie/RSA. $15
There has been a torrent of literature about New Zealanders fighting in foreign wars, and now, finally, the story about wars in our own country is being told. These wars – The Musket Wars (1806-1845) and the New Zealand Wars (1845-1872) – profoundly shaped, and still shape, the course and direction of our nation’s history. Paul Diamond explores the events, causes and consequences of these defining conflicts with writers and historians, Vincent O’ Malley (The New Zealand Wars Nga Pakanga o Aotearoa)and Ron Crosby (The Forgotten Wars: Why the Musket Wars Matter Today).

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.
So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?
-
59.7% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
26% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
14.3% ... It is complicated

Builder Wanted or seeking builder (LBP).
We are looking for a semi-retired builder or solo LBP to supervise / co-work with me while I undertake an extension project as a self-build . Rates to be negotiated prior to commencement. Currently in the design stage at present with Architect. I have experience from past house builds so not a raw beginner, both in design and construction.
Thanks Phil
