There is so much bs about the RMA, I thought it would help to look at actual case study so people can really understand what is at stake. It involves the MP with the wealthiest property portfolio in Parliament, Suze Redmayne, and irrigation for dairy on sand dunes www.greenpeace.org/aotearoa/sto...

I guess everyone knows if you belong to a library (most libraries in AoNZ) you can not only borrow audio books but also free movies and magazines. Just read the latest Listener which saved me $8.

Who knew about this? The areas marked "Kahore I Hokona" (=never sold) are land for which there are no purchase agreements by colonial companies. The land was simply taken from Kai Tahu. You'll notice it includes all the Otago Lakes with their pricey real estate. Totally stolen land. #kikorangi

Looking forward to this 🚲.
Looks like some places are still available.
The WEA (Workers' Educational Assn) going strong since 1915 and currently is offering lots of courses. Well worth a check out.

I'm such an egg 🙄. I ordered this kit of Vote to keep Maori Wards stickers and bumper stickers but it's not going to poll in Canterbury.
Who would like them for their districts that will be polling? I'll send them. Let me know.

Time to look at our urban roads and streets as they are just not working in assisting productive, healthy, humane cities.
