Christmas Country Fete
I am helping to organise this year's Christmas Country Fete and thought it may be of interest to the community of Christchurch. It is taking place at the Vintage Car Club on McLeans Island Road on Thursday 31st October from 10am-4pm and further information can be found at www.thefete.co.nz.... There will be lots of local businesses, artisan creators, delicious food and drinks plus entertainment from local bands and the cute poppets from Southern Ballet. A VIP Luncheon is also available - tickets on the website and available on the day at the gate. We can't wait to see you!
Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.

2025 has been massive. The Luxon-led Government's attacks on workers, on Te Tiriti, on pay equity, on educators, on health workers, and on the public service, have been relentless.
But despite everything thrown at working people, we've also seen some massive wins. We've fought back together with strike action. We've unified with days of action. We have focused on what matters. Make no mistake, 2026 will be wild, and we are ready for it! Source - New Zealand Council of Trade Unions
