EarthDiverse: Understanding the Classical World
Interested in World History? Consider enroling in Peter Dornauf’s course entitled “Understanding the Classical World and its Impact on Modern Life.” This series of 8 talks, from our Introductory World History series, explores and reveals the primal influences of classical Greece & Rome, and explains how these influences manifest today and get played out in the modern world. Knowing these things helps not only with our sense of identity, but also provides us with a point of reference against which to measure our values and make critical judgments.
Begins Wed 19 October, 11:00am-1:00pm for 8 consecutive weeks.
EarthDiverse, 401 Anglesea Street (3 shops north of the Hamilton Central Bus Station, located upstairs). For more information and registration please visit our website.

Poll: Are you a Te Huia fan?
All three Hamilton MPs appear to be united behind the retention of the Te Huia passenger rail service between Hamilton and Auckland, as well as potentially expanding it to Tauranga.
But whether Hamilton East’s Ryan Hamilton, Hamilton West’s Tama Potaka and soon-to-be Labour list MP Georgie Dansey have the combined power to shunt transport minister Chris Bishop and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon onto their line of thinking remains to be seen.
Are you a Te Huia fan? Tell us more in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).

The Reserve Bank has shared some pretty blunt advice: there’s no such thing as a “safe” job anymore 🛟😑
