WETA COULD BE BETTA
After having written in Social Media about this place as a must visit tourist attraction within the Wellington region, I visited the Weta Workshops for a guided tour today.
And unfortunately my verdict is that Weta Workshops is an ok thing for tourists but nothing more.
I suppose it depends on what one might have expected beforehand. The tour guide named Logan was himself an actor and film production teamster and without doubt a highlight of the tour with his insight to all the movies etc Weta has been asked to "prop up".
The tour is overly expensive for admission and if the screen photo went with the admission price, it would have been somewhat more value for money instead of the $20 per photo asked for.
Maybe the best things I saw were being a mere few centimetres away from one of the actual Oscars and Baftas award trophies that Richard Taylor and his team have won.
So now Wellington has really just four things to boast about to tourists - Brewtown, Zealandia, Te Papa and The Beehive.
Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? 🛻🚨🚓
In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?
What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.2% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.8% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

DOC is rolling out a new tool to help figure out what to tackle first when it comes to protecting our threatened species and the things putting them at risk.
Why does this matter? As Nikki Macdonald from The Post points out, we’re a country with around 4,400 threatened species. With limited time and funding, conservation has always meant making tough calls about what gets attention first.
For the first time, DOC has put real numbers around what it would take to do everything needed to properly safeguard our unique natural environment. The new BioInvest tool shows the scale of the challenge: 310,177 actions across 28,007 sites.
Now that we can see the full picture, it brings the big question into focus: how much do we, as Kiwis, truly value protecting nature — and what are we prepared to invest to make it happen?
We hope this brings a smile!
