BPW Franklin Dinner with excellent speaker May 28th
“THE NEW BATTLE FOR WOMEN'S RIGHTS” Jill Ovens will be speaking at the BPW Franklin dinner meeting on May 28th 6.30pm for 7pm, in Pukekohe.
Over the past decade and largely under the radar, publicly funded lobby groups have promoted an agenda that has put the rights of women and girls at risk.
At the same time women’s voices have been shut down in our universities, public service, the mainstream media and our unions. Jobs have been put at risk if people dare to question gender ideology. Lesbians have been thrown out of Pride events and are having to defend themselves in the Human Rights Tribunal.
Ironically it is women who have willingly ceded our spaces, allowing our organisations and our unions to be co-opted by the politics of “kindness and inclusivity” to the exclusion of women’s issues and rights.
Who would have thought that more than 130 years after New Zealand women fought for and won the right to vote, the first self-governing country in the world to have women’s suffrage, we would need to organise to protect our hard-won rights?

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

Auckland, why are we so excited about a new store? 🚗🛒
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!
Keen for an update? The Post has you covered
