Those not voting in Local Body Elections for Wellington, there is an excellent debate on Stuff "Local elections 2019: Wellington's dwindling voter turnout for local body elections".
Rates will be increased to pay for various developments in the city, so best to put in your say for what you want!!


In my neck of the woods, I am delighted by the quick response, community engagement and immediate attention given to repairing and making fit for purpose, the walking track at the top of Woodhouse Avenue.

This is used by retired peoples walking clubs, dog walkers, runners, teenagers, people wanting to be with and appreciate the natural environment. Home also to the many bird species which have exceptional growth in numbers. Great work Andy Foster.

Dame Fiona Kidman and the Turnbull collections
Dame Fiona Kidman is a literary star and a much-loved author of many award-winning novels. She has been using Turnbull resources — and also contributing to them — for nearly fifty years. She says her books such as the historical novels 'The Captive Wife', 'The Infinite Air' and 'This Mortal Boy' would have been impossible without access to the Turnbull’s amazing collections.

Fiona was both secretary and chair of many organisations, including PEN (NZ) — now the NZ Society of Authors including PEN; and the NZ Book Council; as well as producer of RNZ's 'Writing' programme for 7 years. Over the years she accumulated a large body of personal correspondence and recordings from literary luminaries, including Dame Ngaio Marsh, Frank Sargeson, Janet Frame, Denis Glover and others, as well as artists, educators and politicians. She describes herself as a hoarder, but this significant body of correspondence, tapes and personal manuscripts has all found its way to the Turnbull.

Fiona will talk about some of the material she has gathered over her life.

Tuesday 15 October

Our Changing World public lecture series

National Library, Thorndon
Doors open 5.45pm. Lecture runs 6pm to 7pm.


For centuries, Latin American music has been moving bodies on dance floors across oceans, city limits, borders and walls. It took millions of European immigrants for tango (it takes two) to come into being. Millions poured into Mexico City to produce romantic and revolutionary ballads, and a wave of Latin American immigrants got New Yorkers moving to the rhythm of salsa. Other music styles, such as Cuban Trova and rock, are all part of the story surrounding some of the different moves – and mythologies – behind the transforming power of Latin American music.



Presenter bio:
Associate Professor Leonel Alvarado is an award-winning poet who heads the Spanish and Portuguese Programmes at Massey University and teaches Latin American music, literature and travel writing. Among his books are Driving with Neruda to the Fish ‘n’ Chips and El lirismo patriótico centroamericano: himnos, nacionalismo e identidad.
