Meet Hinerangi Busby who shares her journey with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi.
I am a graduate of the marae-centred programme, Te Pouhono, transforming Māori communities, promoting mātauranga-a-hapū, a-iwi. My participation took me to the Bachelor of Mātauranga Māori, and then postgraduate study.
Awanuiārangi centres you. This is the nurturing space of Māori researchers, with the support of academic and professional staff; this all transpires from an authentic indigenous and traditional Māori environment.
My studies have empowered me to play a more pro-active role in whānau and hapū affairs. Instead of being angry at a past that we cannot change, let’s become part of the solution for positive change.

The onion-shaped lookout - commonly used as an architectural feature on palaces and cathedrals - is the last major exterior piece to go on the $33m building, which is set to open in December. Did you see the cupola being added on Friday? What do you think of the feature?
Unless you have especially dirty clothes, use the cold wash cycle for the laundry. A hot water wash can use 10 times more electricity than a cold wash.
According to the EECA, four loads of laundry washed in a cold cycle a week will save you about $60-$80 a year.

What a pleasure to meet Hayley Parsons of Clarks Beach, Auckland. She and husband Chris relocated this huge three-storey villa from Palmerston North to Auckland, and project managed the rebuild of Huntly House from London. Wonderful house, wonderful history.

Regardless of our different faiths, abilities, cultures, ages, orientations and genders - we want to make sure that our communities are safe and welcoming for all.
There are many ways to take part! From hosting a multicultural potluck or film screening to providing prevention information / resources in other languages, there are thousands of ways big and small to make our households, neighbourhoods, schools and businesses even more inclusive. It could even be as simple as learning from a neighbour how to say ‘hello’ in their first language or ensuring local footpaths are clear and accessible.
Want to share your thoughts? Let us know how you’re creating inclusive communities this month by tagging us in your social media posts or emailing us your photos, videos, or experiences to:

I opened stuff tonight and what did I see? A picture of shelves devoid of toilet paper in Wellington, that shoud've been there.

You do not get the dire rear from Covid.

Reminds me of this joke I read a year ago: " It's the year 2039, and John gets to open the last pack of toilet paper that his mother bought in 2020". I actually observed a woman coming out of Countdown with 3-4 18packs of toilet paper last year and her little 4-5 year old asking her why she bought all that stuff. Mom was not amused! LoL.
