The Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to parliament last week and could have ramifications on the partnership between the Crown and Māori.
Hīkoi mō te Tiriti (March for the Treaty of Waitangi) set off from Cape Rēinga on Monday morning and is expected to reach Wellington next Tuesday. It has now passed through Kaitaia, Kawakawa, Whangārei, Dargaville and is passing through Auckland on Wednesday.

What you need to know today:
- The hīkoi is due to cross the Auckland Harbour Bridge about 9.30am on Wednesday. Two northbound lanes will be closed at some point before the crossing, and remain closed during it.
- NZTA shared at 8:50am Wednesday:
'Curran St northbound on-ramp will be closed shortly, with two northbound lanes on the Harbour Bridge expected to close from approx 9.30am this morning. Allow extra time for likely delays through this area.'
- The hīkoi is expected to go across the Harbour Bridge, in a controlled fashion before marching through parts of the CBD towards Okahu Bay.
- Auckland commuters should expect traffic disruption in vicinity of both sides of the Harbour Bridge.

Stuff reporter Steve Kilgallon was at Stafford Park on the north side of the Harbour Bridge at 8.30am Wednesday and shared:
"I just walked through Stafford Park, where there’s about 400-500 people quietly assembled and more arriving; and about 20 police standing over near the motorway off ramp. Lot of Tino Rangatira flags in evidence, local streets very busy with parked cars."
Police have shared that they will respond accordingly to any issues that may arise along the route.

Poll: Is it rude to talk on the phone on a bus?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

ENGAGE workshop Thursday 28 November 7.30pm at Uplands. Everyone welcome and your friends are welcome too. RSVP by 25 Nov please.
Please see below for more detailed information about ENGAGE.
Engage is an evidence based approach that supports the development of children's self regulation skills through play - to support positive behaviour and learning outcomes at school, and contribute to positive life course outcomes through adolescence and into adulthood.

Engage focusses on three domains of self regulation: emotional (feeling), cognitive (thinking) and behavioural (doing). Engage also emphasises the use of language - to enhance the effectiveness of games for self regulation, and to support positive language development in early years.
Self regulation skills help us to control our emotions, thoughts and behaviours - our feeling, thinking and doing skills. Self regulation skills help us to: remember instructions, juggle two of more tasks at once, keep going with difficult or frustrating tasks, resist the temptation to do something that might not be good for us, wait for rewards, take turns, work well with others, recognise and manage our feelings, deal with difficult emotions (anger, fear, anxiety, frustration etc) and more.
Children use self regulation skills every day, whether it's sitting long enough to listen to a story, remembering a list of instructions and sticking to them, being able to take turns in the playground with other children, or recognising when they are frustrated and stopping themselves from hitting.
A child's behaviour is often a result of how their self regulation skills (feeling, thinking and doing skills) respond to the challenges they face in everyday situations (fear, surprise, frustration, excitement, confusion, anger, hunger, tiredness etc).
Self regulation is a skill, and skills can be improved with practice. People with strong self regulation skills make better decisions more often, and are able to function more effectively in a wider range of situations - leading to more positive outcomes across their lifespan.
