Parihaka Day screening: Tātarakihi: The Children of Parihaka
By popular request, the Canterbury Film Society is delighted to offer a repeat screening of Tātarakihi: The Children of Parihaka on 5 November at 2pm at Christchurch Art Gallery Te Puna o Waiwhetu, corner Montreal & Gloucester Streets. Speaker is Ngapera Teitinga-Moeahu from Parihaka. Rating GA. Running time 65 mins.
Tātarakihi tells the story of a 'journey of memory' taken by Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Tamarongo following in the footsteps of their ancestors who were imprisoned in the South Island after the Taranaki land confiscations of the 1860s.
Entry is by KOHA (donation). Seating is on first-come-first-served basis, but priority seating will be given to those who missed out last time. (Suggest you come early and put your something on a seat to reserve one; we 'sold out' last time.) Food and drink will be sold as a fundraiser for Canterbury Film Society.

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?
-
37.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
62.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
🎉 Riddle me this, legends! 🎉
He/She who makes it, sells it.
He/She who buys it, doesn't use it.
The user doesn't know they are using it.
What is it?
(Shezz from Ngāruawāhia kindly provided this head-scratcher ... thanks, Shezz!)
