Te Waka Huia
Did you know that in February 1963, a bus load of locals from Helensville north west of Auckland went to Waitangi
to support a local kaum ātua who was receiving a special honour from the Queen who was
visiting? On the journey home the bus lost its brakes on the Brynderwyn hills and went careering
over a 30 metre ravine, killing 15. It remains New Zealand’s worst road accident. The story of Te Waka Huia is based on this historic tragedy. Coming to the Turner Centre on Sunday 17th September. Book here:nz.patronbase.com...
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?
