Kōnae: My Records Guide – a new website

Hira Siddiqui from Citizens Advice Bureau Pakuranga/Eastern Manukau

Two generations, one powerful story - a koro's experience of getting his records from when he lived in a children's home, told from the perspective of his moko.

Over the past year we have been working with survivors and people with lived experience to create Kōnae: My Records Guide – a new website for people seeking their records from times when the government, faith-based, or other organisations were responsible for their guardianship or care.

Visit the website now at konae.org.nz

We look forward to sharing more with you about Kōnae over the coming weeks.
Please like and share this video and spread the word about Kōnae.

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

I think we’ve all seen the traffic notices and headlines about the new IKEA by now!

So here’s the question: why do we get so excited when a new store opens? Convenience? Curiosity? A reason for a weekend outing? We’d love to hear your thoughts!

A riddle to start the festive season 🌲🎁🌟

The Riddler from The Neighbourly Riddler

I'm a fruit. If you take away my first letter, I'm a crime. If you take away my first two letters, I'm an animal. If you take away my first and last letter, I'm a form of music. What am I?

Do you think you know the answer? Simply 'Like' this post if you know the answer and the big reveal will be posted in the comments at 2pm on the day!

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.

We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?

Keen to dig deeper? Mike White has the scoop.
