Kiwis love tourism ... it brings in cash and connection. But with more visitors comes more pressure on our beautiful places, housing, and local infrastructure.
So what’s the fix? Should we bring in a tourism tax or focus on spreading visitors beyond the hotspots to ease the load? 👇

Hello
I have a Weber Baby Q BBQ and purchased a light Weber stand to place it in. After a couple of years, the stand collapsed with rust even though we kept it covered.

I have a Weber Baby Q BBQ and purchased a light Weber stand to place it in. After a couple of years, the stand collapsed with rust even though we kept it covered. I would like to buy an old or surplus to requirement wooden BBQ trolley so I can modify it to hold my BBQ. We live near the beach so I am assuming this might be more durable. Obviously, a smaller wooden BBQ stand or trolley would be the right fit

Mākereti Papakura, believed to be the first Indigenous woman to study at the University of Oxford, has been awarded a posthumous degree certificate.
Papakura sadly passed away in 1930, just weeks before she was due to present her thesis. Her research was later published as The Old-Time Māori — the first ethnographic study written by a Māori author.
We hope this brings a smile!
