EREBUS Memorial / Dove Myer Robinson Park - NOT THE RIGHT SITE
There is a 'peaceful sit-in/protest' happening down in Dove Myer Robinson Park. Come down and see just how big and ugly the Erebus Monument would be if it goes ahead. We are camping there in protest - please come and join us. We have been sitting on the gentle slope below the 180-year-old Pohutukawa (which will be trimmed back if this goes ahead) watching the Americas Cup racing out on the Waitemata. If the monument goes ahead there, we will lose a beautiful sheltered spot with views to Rangitoto and the Waitemata harbour. This is not the right site for this monstrosity and we need support in numbers! Please go to www.sosnz.org.nz... / @ProtectMataharehare to sign the Petition - this whole process has been done behind closed doors! Families have come and told us of the many years of memories picnicing down there and all remember the magnificent Pohutukawa throughout the years. If left to grow, it could survive another 800 years or more!!! Don't let them trim it back to accommodate their 'work' -- and other trees will be removed all together! Come on down and learn all about what is planned for this site! Note the pole in the foreground of picture - the large concrete and metal monument will go to this height! Help us stop it!
Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?
As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙
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% Yes, supporting people is important!
-
25.5% No, individuals should take responsibility
-
15.5% ... It is complicated

Night-time chipsealing works on SH2
From 9 to 17 February, stop/go traffic management will be in place on SH2 between McPherson Road and Dimmock Road on multiple nights between 9pm and 5am (Sundays to Thursdays).
During the day, all lanes will be open, but speed restrictions will apply to allow the chipseal to set and to protect vehicles travelling over the newly laid surface.
There may be delays to your journey when travelling through the area. This is weather dependent so check NZTA Journey Planner before you travel.
