Celebrate New Zealand Music Month and Suffrage 125
Join us to celebrate New Zealand Music Month and Suffrage 125 with the singing stars of the 1970s and 1980s women's movement.
Protest songs of the 1970s and 1980s
Expect a roller-coaster ride with the Feisty Feckin' Fulltime Feminists through the politics of equal pay, discrimination, harassment and reproductive rights, with lashings of fighting spirit.
Singing stars of the 1970s and 1980s women's movement take the stage again with some new additions — reviving some of the songs they sang to keep spirits up on the picket line or at strategising sessions.
Some of the lyrics were made up more or less on the spot to a borrowed tune, to mark a particular occasion; other songs came from feminists in Auckland, Australia or beyond.
Audience advisory: frequent use of strong language.

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
-
36.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
63.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Poll: Are you still heading to your local for your caffeine fix, or has the $$ changed your habits? ☕
Wellington’s identity is built on its cafe culture, but with costs climbing, that culture is under pressure. We’ve seen the headlines about recent closures, and it’s a tough pill to swallow along with a $6+ coffee.
We all want our favourite spots to stay open, but we also have to balance our own budgets ⚖️
We want to know: How are you handling the "coffee math" in 2026? Are you still heading to your local for a chat and a caffeine fix, or has the cost of living changed your habits?
Keen to read more about "coffee math"? The Post has you covered.

42.5% I still indulge at my local cafe
-
11.3% Irrelevant - coffee is not for me
