Say Hello to Kuia.
Being a local you’ll probably have seen work commence at Karamū, Riccarton Park. The second neighbourhood, Kākāpō was launched last month and we couldn’t resist! Say hello to Kuia the Kākāpō! We have officially adopted her to help with the birds population recovery and to raise awareness of the Kākāpō Recovery Programme.
Kuia was hatched on Maud Island in 1998. Kuia, in te reo means ‘wise, old woman'. She is the only female carrying genes from the Fiordland bird: Richard Henry so she is very special indeed. For updates on Kuia and Karamū follow our Facebook page.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
31.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

How much does it cost to join AEA?
There are no dues or fees for joining AEA or attending AEA meetings. We are self-supporting through our own voluntary contributions. At some point during each meeting we pass the basket to help cover expenses, such as the cost of rent and literature. Members are not obliged to contribute, but we usually do so to the extent we are able.
