Hīkoi to parliament

The Team from Wellington District Police

Traffic heading into Wellington City has eased, however motorists should continue to expect significant delays in the city.

Hīkoi mō te Tiriti has reached Waitangi Park, with Police reporting no issues from this morning’s movements.

Another group of about 2000 people from the Hutt Valley began arriving at the Wellington Railway Station at around 8:30am.

The hīkoi is expected to begin their walk to Parliament along the Golden Mile (Courtenay Place, Manners Street, Willis Street and Lambton Quay) at 9am.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”

We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?

Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
