Did you know National politicians were in town?
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is assembling his National Party caucus in Hamilton with the promise of revealing an “exciting plan” for the economy in the coming days.
Luxon and National MPs will meet in Hamilton on Wednesday morning for the party’s annual “caucus retreat”, typically seen as the start of the political year. Labour will similarly be holding a retreat in Palmerston North this week.

Do you know anyone who's 'taken a seat' in the theatre?
Three organisations dedicated to improving the lives of the region’s residents - Creative Waikato, Sport Waikato and Community Waikato - are formally backing Hamilton’s new theatre.
And it is a case of “the three Waikatos” backing the theatre in a very literal fashion, with the names of the three community trusts soon to be adorning a plaque attached to three chairs in the 1300-seat facility.
