Poll: Are you a Lord of The Rings fan?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

The famous sign on the gate to Bilbo Baggins’ house states emphatically “No admittance - except on party business”.

Bilbo might not have been there to partake himself, but a glorious party, complete with star-studded guest list, was held in Hobbiton on Tuesday night. The occasion was the release of The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim.

Hamilton's overburdened justice ecosystem

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

It desperately needs to be bigger, but they are going to make it stronger instead.

There are not enough courtrooms to cater for the glut of cases at the Hamilton District Court, and according to the Ministry of Justice there won’t be any additional space in the foreseeable future.
