Marlborough, Nelson and Tasman’s councils had been pushing for upgrades to the Weld Pass since 2015, estimated to cost $16 million, and dubbed it their “most significant project”.

The Government is prioritising other things, like improving cycleways and walkways,” Maher said. “If something is not done to that piece of road in the next 20 years, it will be like we re stepping back into the Dark Ages.”

I had the privilege of participating in this year s annual World Union of Catholic Women s Organizations (WUCWO) Day celebration on Oct. 13 at the Corpus et Sanguis Christi Cathedral, Port Harcourt, Nigeria. The president of the parish Catholic Women s Organization asked me to share with the women of there the WUCWO celebration theme, Let us eliminate discrimination and violence against women.
Founded 110 years ago, in 1910, WUCWO now represents nearly 60 Catholic women s organizations worldwide and is active in around 60 countries, representing around 8 million Catholic women. The size and diversity of membership provides enough space from which to discern and fight the various kinds of injustice against women.
