While all of the artists were charged, only one received prison time: Te Wehi Ratana.
This uplifting new one-man play is inspired by true events, and shares the remarkable experience of the abseiling activist during his 48 hours at Rimutaka Prison.
Ration the Queen’s veges is a story of how one action can inspire change in unlikely places. It is a story about the quiet voice of defiance that still burns within us even when we are silenced – a piece of gum and Brian, Te Wehi’s ingenious cellmate, were all that was needed to fan the flames and hear them roar.

We are planning the painting of the carpeted area upstairs at the Hataitai Bowling Club 15 Hataitai Rd, does anyone have spare old cream/white paint that we can use as undercoat? We would greatly appreciate if you do have some spare paint then it could be dropped off outside the Menzshed.
