To all the children that look forward to visiting Mistletoe Place in Browns Bay to see our Xmas lights in December. I'm sorry to say that a broken leg and ankle has made it impossible for me to start the month long task of creating and hanging all 50,000 lights.

The current age of voting is 18 in New Zealand and lobby group Make It 16 have been running a youth-led campaign advocating for the vote to be extended to our 16 and 17-year-olds.
“This is history,” said Make It 16 co-director Caeden Tipler. “Today New Zealand’s highest court has confirmed that stopping young people from voting is a breach of our human rights...The government and Parliament cannot ignore such a clear legal and moral message. They must let us vote.”

Throughout the late 19th and early-mid 20th-Centuries, New Zealand newspaper readers could regularly find the stories of early settlers memorialised in extended obituaries, a genre reserved for the commemoration of “Old Colonists”.
These columns recorded both the ordinary and remarkable individuals who collectively comprised the foundational generation of settlers. Yet the category of Old Colonist clearly designated a distinction between present generations and the gradually fading frontier experiences of these foundational figures.
In this HeritageTalk, Research Librarian Liam Appleton asks what these efforts to remember the Old Colonists might tell us about Pakeha New Zealanders understanding of themselves amidst an increasingly developing and urbanised country.
