A Hastings man who admitted murdering a woman who he ran down in his car 20 years ago continues to deny he deliberately struck the woman, according to his latest Parole Board report.

I recently moved to Thorndon, a place where the national narrative is so strong it seems to pulse, its rhythm incessant. Between Parliament, the national library, archives, the high commissions, embassies and government houses, the many statues, plaques, historical displays and street names, you simply can’t escape the national story. Though, in its hypervisibility, we sometimes stop seeing it, even as it beats around us.

Great to read this, thank you to the the community and mana whenua, for some real action on our environment. I just hope that all abide by this and we don t see any going against this as it is viewed as optional . Better to see the local body/govt formalise this. Better still enlarge such protection into other areas Mana whenua on Waiheke island are placing a two-year rāhui on the island in a bid to stop four species of kaimoana from collapsing.
