Jess Manins — CEO MIXT Studios
MIXT specialises in the production of augmented and virtual reality (VR) solutions. MIXT has developed a VR tool for the Breast Cancer Foundation to support women undergoing treatment.
Jess will talk about the opportunities and challenges afforded by disruptive technologies.
Maia Mariner — Founder Lazy Sneakers
At the age of 12, Maia set up the Lazy Sneakers charity to rehome used sneakers to children in need.
Maia will talk about what motivated her and reflections as a young woman of Maori and Pasifika heritage. An impressive young woman, now in her first year at Queen Margaret’s College.
Hiria Te Rangi — Kaiwhakahaere (CEO) Whare Hauora
Hiria loves her community and loves technology, so leading Whare Hauora was a natural role for her.
Whare Hauora goes into Marae, community centres and schools to teach low-income families about Whare Sensors, how to build them and how they can help whanau make informed decisions about how their home affects their health.
With 20 years in technical and business roles spanning open data, open source, digital technologies and infrastructure, Hiria relishes her role and the difference Wharehauora can make in Aotearoa
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?
-
35.5% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
64.5% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)
Some Choice News!
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!
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?
