Local Wally Hemapo donated an old telephone pole to be used specifically as a pou. He carved a beautiful depiction of a “mother and baby” koru wrapped in a korowai at the top of the pou.
Local artist Rebecca Gibbs painted the pou, with help from tamariki from the centre.
“Rebecca designed a beautiful harakeke to represent our playcentre whānau, with the ocean, mountains, river and land in the background. The centre tamariki filled in background areas with colourful fingerprints,” Olivia Sinclair, Diamond Harbour Playcentre member Olivia Sinclair said.
“Several playcentre whānau were also instrumental in making this project happen."
Playcentre Aotearoa’s kaiwhakahaere hononga Māori (Māori relationship manager) Erana Rattray said it was "wonderful to be able to weave te reo me ōna tikanga Māori throughout the ceremony and for playcentre tamariki and their whānau to experience our rich culture, connecting the centre to the wider community".

Breaking a promise is not a LIE unless you have proof that the person knew it was not possible at the time of saying it, even then it might be misleading and wishful thinking.
When politicians are campaigning they say they will do all sorts of things, that is based on information they have to hand at that time.
If they win and find out their information that they based there 'promises' on were not correct, or they have to work with a coalition partner so have to modify their stance.
Lets not be so blindly judgmental and name call, just to discredit a side you do not like.
Sure, point out poor performance as long as it factually based not just for the sake of ribbing the opposition
Have a good day.

The Queen, the world’s longest serving monarch, died on Friday morning at Balmoral, Scotland, at the age of 96.
In Christchurch, which the Queen visited nine times during her reign, flags are being flown at half-mast and condolence books are being opened at civic centres.
Mayor Lianne Dalziel said the Royal Family had been ardent supporters of the city, for which its residents would “always be grateful”.
