It would be nice if the incoming council has sufficient gumption to invest in a worthwhile future for Upper Hutt. We need something practical to attract external investment to save our lovely city from dying of boredom. Yawn!
Fun fact… it’s 537 steps up Baldwin Street in Dunedin – that means you’d have to walk up it almost 19 times to get 10,000 steps! Thanks to Hannah, our legendary Community Fundraising Coordinator for stepping up to the challenge.

Two new galleries will allow the centre to host international exhibitions and will provide more opportunities for out of classroom learning experiences for school pupils.
Trump wants to buy Greenland the largest island in the world but a much smaller trio of islands could be up for grabs in an equally remote part of the world.

NZ is not only mineral rich, but it is oil and coal rich just what Trump is all about. And land is cheap here especially in and around Auckland.
As well we have in Trump's mind similar looking population stats: 50,000 (Gld) and 5,000,000 (NZ).
The Greenlanders are not much at enthusiastically greeting their owners or potential owner/s but a full Maori group of hundreds with waka and haka would look and sound a lot more impressive than cold handshakes from a huddled group lasting all of 35 seconds.
There could be a Trump Tower in every city in NZ. I'd pitch for one in Silverstream overlooking the Hutt River.
NZ would be a bargain for Trump and the USA as NZ seems to be folding into a recession not only because of the Ardern Government economic and social bunglings but because Trump has been the major architect of a world wide economic and power playing disorder.
Gee, taking over NZ, Trump could look at building the greatest wall in the history of mankind and dinosaurs right in the middle of the Tasman Sea and stop Australia from sending Kiwi crims back to NZ.
