⏰Update on Court Proceedings
Our High Court hearing is scheduled for 12-14 May. As part of this process, Wellington Airport, Airways, and the Director of the Civil Aviation Authority were due to file their witness statements by Monday, 31 March. These statements were received as late as Friday 4 April, PM.
This follows a similar delay in December, when key documents expected on 6 December were received over two weeks later, right before the Christmas break.
Each delay reduces the preparation time available to our pro bono legal and volunteer expert team.
Large corporations have time and money on their side to delay, but that's nothing compared to having the strength of community and integrity.
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.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
