It’s a song that experts say transcends generations, cultures, even religion. “Silent Night” — first performed in a small Austrian church over 200 years has not only stood the test of time, but found its own place in history. It is structured simply, easy to record, has been translated into over 300 languages and bridges both secular and non-secular Christmas music. But perhaps just as important is the song’s original message of hope and peace…

The Courts have significantly lowered the threshold for Māori groups to acquire exclusive rights over the foreshore and seabed, signaling the likely success of hundreds of other claims around New Zealand. The Marine and Coastal Area (Takutai Moana) Act 2011 (MACA) gave iwi and hapū groups the right to seek ‘customary marine title’ (CMT) over the foreshore and seabed with which they have had a longstanding and exclusive history of use and…

A big part of the holiday season is celebrating with delicious foods and drinks at social events. Often at this time of year the things we consume tend to be less nutritious and easy to overindulge in. These items can be enjoyed on occasion, but when it spans over multiple weeks, can lead to our bodies feeling not so great. One of the reasons that this can happen is due to these foods and drinks leading to an increase in low grade…

All three of the parties who will form the next government have campaigned on disestablishing the Maori Health Authority. What does it even do, and what will happen if it’s scrapped?

Our health system is collapsing but health tsars are in complete denial, desperately trying to hide the deaths and distort the science For the last 90 years we have been taught that the universe began with a Big Bang, the James Webb telescope has shown that the theory is incorrect.

Real Estate Love, Passion and Obsession From an early age I have nurtured an unshakable love for Real Estate. Discovering how real estate creates that special type of shelter that everyone yearns to possess; it evens generates the brand of wealth that most cannot amass by simply working a job; and it gives great power to its owners who are fortunate enough to hold on to it at the right time and wise enough to let go when necessary. Whether you…

Santa goes to the Chathams Santa swopped his traditional reindeer and sleigh for a four-engined TEAL Solent and flew up to the Chatham Islands in December 1951. More than 400 of the islands’ 500 inhabitants cheered him hilariously as he stepped ashore from a launch in Te Whanga Lagoon, a huge sack of toys over his shoulder. In the three and a quarter hours he distributed good cheer, the islanders – all in paper hats provided by TEAL –…

So, it becomes very clear what had happened with the various documents: (a) Reverend Maunsell had not been able to use his official document, sent to him from Government House in the Bay of Islands and signed by acting Lieutenant Governor, Willoughby Shortland, as it had arrived 3 days too late. He had used, instead, materials on hand to conduct his meeting on the 11th before 1500 Maori, conveniently gathered in for their hui business meeting.…
