Kia ora everyone - quick question 😊

Would anyone be interested in short-term rentals of gaming consoles (Playstation, Nintendo Switch, XBox etc) for things like rainy weekends, school holidays, or kids’ birthdays?

I’ve got a couple of gaming consoles with a few kid-friendly/multiplayer games and was thinking of offering hire locally (pickup/drop-off in Karori).

Just gauging interest at this stage to see if this is something people would actually use! Thanks!

A compelling New Zealand drama set in a place not unlike your own.

Told through the lens of a filmmaker, Not in Our Neighbourhood follows a group of women whose lives intersect at a moment of change. As their stories unfold, what sits beneath the surface begins to show – in quiet ways, in unexpected moments, and in the spaces between what is said and left unsaid.

With warmth, tension, and flashes of humour, the play draws you into a world that feels familiar, yet just out of reach.


An intimate and affecting work that invites you to look closer – and consider what might be happening just beyond view.

Wellington’s weather can change quickly, and when the rain and wind arrive with the change in seasons, blocked gutters can cause serious problems for your home.

Poll: Should we ditch daylight saving? 🕰️

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

First introduced in New Zealand in 1927 with the passing of the Summer Time Act, it's what we know as 'Daylight Saving' and this year it ends on the first Sunday in April.

While we do get to sleep in this time around, some people would like to scrap the clock tinkering for good.

And why? Some evidence suggests the time changes are bad for our health as they mess with sleep patterns leading to short-term fatigue and affecting mood. Meanwhile the hour change is frustrating for farmers and a nightmare for getting the littlies to sleep. But what's your take?

In 2012, Julia Gillard delivered a speech that ricocheted across Australia, New Zealand, and around the world. Now, the woman and the moment is brought to the stage in Julia. This gripping one-woman show puts us inside a very public storm, and reveals the life and career that led to it.

From idealistic young advocate to leader under relentless scrutiny, Julia takes us behind the microphone of the landmark “misogyny speech.” It steps into the personal, political and socio-cultural forces that forged it. Blending real excerpts with scenes inspired by true events, this is more than one leader’s story. It’s a sharp, human look at how we judge power, how we listen to women, and what we demand of those who lead us.

Against a backdrop of progress and pushback on gender equality, Julia takes on fresh resonance here in Aotearoa. It draws the line between conviction and compromise, private life and public duty. And it asks what it costs to stand your ground and say “not now, not ever” in a world that still questions women who lead.

Reviews:
“Julia is an intoxicating and fascinating experience that hits something deep and resounding within us.” – Time Out
“It builds like a storm.” – Sydney Morning Herald
“Julia is a shining example of theatre as a powerful medium for change.” – Stage Whispers

Note: This play is a fictional imagining inspired by real events and public materials. It includes references and extracts from published works and interviews. Julia Gillard has not endorsed or contributed artistically to this production.

A reminder this hunting season

The Team from New Zealand Police

As thousands of hunters are making their plans for autumn – the Roar – recreational firearms groups are urging hunters to always be 100% sure of their targets.

Te Tari Pureke - Firearms Safety Authority NZ, which chairs the Recreational Firearms Users Group, has begun a public information campaign reminding hunters everywhere of Rule #4 of the Firearms Safety Code: to identify their target beyond all doubt.

Director Communities and Corporate, Mike McIlraith, says there is an estimated 50,000-60,000 New Zealanders involved in big game animal hunting each year, and the Roar is the key event for many hunters each year.
“The Roar is a fantastic time of year for hunters to get out into the hills after a trophy animal but hunting safely and making sure everyone gets home in one piece, still must be the most important goal of every trip,” says Mike McIlraith.
“The consequences of not fully identifying your target beyond all doubt can be catastrophic. Our message to hunters is a really simple one: If you are not sure, then don’t shoot.”

Mike McIlraith says while hunting fatalities are thankfully rare, research has shown that misidentification of the target is the largest firearms related risk to New Zealand deer hunters, and 80% of the time this involves members of the same hunting group.

The Authority says hunters should not feel pressured to take a shot: “Instead, hunters should take the time to analyse their target, wait and see if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how many points does its antlers have? Identifying your target means never firing at sound, shape, colour or movement alone.”

Mike McIlraith says good hunters will slow down, and run through some simple mental checks:
- Can I see the whole animal, or could this be another hunter?
- Where are my hunting companions – could this be them or someone else?
- How much of the animal can you see, if it is a hind or stag, how old is the animal, how - many points does its antlers have?

“Taking a little extra time to identify your target and check the firing zone is the key to safer hunting. No meat or no trophy is better than no mate,” he says.
