Language exchange wanted te reo Māori in return for French, German, English, ESOL or Reading
I am wanting to speak Māori weekly or every fortnight with a fluent speaker to improve my te reo. I live in Bishopdale so would prefer not to travel far.
I did the three year diploma some years ago at the Wānanga o Aotearoa.
I was a teacher further back of French, German, English, ESOL and reading. Beginner piano is another possibility.
I am happy to give the exchange lessons to someone nominated by the person who speaks Māori with me if that person does not want or need lessons themselves.
Please ring Deborah on 359 3478.
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
