“Heritage is more than dead things on a shelf in dusty, old buildings. To some people, the Edwin Fox is a hull and some bits of old timber. But to me, it s a talisman of how my great-great-grandfather set out to raise a family in New Zealand.” According to the trust s submission, the walls of the Marlborough Museum were a fire risk, its doors let in ants, and its roof had leaked since “day one”, 31 years ago. The rear half of the building’s floor had also not been reinforced with steel, as was planned, which “could be a death trap for staff or result in damage to the collections”.
Marlborough councillors have voted to establish a Māori ward.
Tears ran as the Marlborough District Council made the landmark decision to create a Māori ward on Friday. Twelve councillors voted in favour of establishing a Māori ward councillor position at an extraordinary meeting at the Marlborough Events Centre on Friday morning. One voted against and one did not show up for the vote. Haka erupted from mana whenua following the decision. Councillors stood and responded with ‘Te Aroha’, a waiata about peace and love, and the audience joined in. The decision meant Marlborough will have one Māori ward councillor position from next year’s election. The Māori ward councillor could be voted in by people living anywhere in the region, as happens with the mayor, so long as those people were from the region’s Māori electoral population.
