RED BULL
Red Bull s iconic Flugtag competition for homemade flying contraptions is coming to New Zealand for the first time in 17 years.
Come November 27, teams of brave inventors will hurl themselves off an Auckland pier and into the waters below, all in the name of Flugtag. It’s a welcome return to New Zealand for the Red Bull Flugtag competition, which last graced our shores in 2004 when it was hosted in Wellington. The competition will see amateur aviators design, build and then fly contraptions in a bid to be crowned winner. The thousands of people set to descend upon Wynyard Quarter to see the event are likely to keep business booming for local hospitality hotspots.

Everyone knows that the politics of race can, has, and will impact on the mood and sentiment of voters heading to the polls.
In a previous column, I provided a Māori view of the politics being deployed by Judith Collins and the National Party.
Her campaign to have a debate that her party has controlled since its inception is a crass play in terms of the politics of fear and division based on identifying a victimised White majority versus a preferred Brown minority.
Collins’ politics are clumsy, overt and crude. Many of her own see them for what they are. That is a good thing and demonstrates a growing awareness and maturity amongst white New Zealanders.
