Players of Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 1 + 2, which was released on Friday, are able to choose from a selection of indigenous-inspired facial tattoos, with one of the options labelled “Poly-face”.
Screenshots of the skateboarding game were posted to Twitter and shared by Pākehā/Māori tattoo artist @dreadconquest in a thread outlining why moko should not be used in this way.

American Magic have recovered from a capsize of their America’s Cup boat in Auckland.
The United States syndicate tipped over Defiant while training on the eastern side of Browns Island in decent winds on Sunday.
They were able to quickly come upright again and continue sailing.
The incident further validates the safety elements in the design of the radical 75-foot foiling monohull.
American Magic weren’t commenting on the incident as a matter of team policy, other than to say they were able to complete “a full session” on Sunday.

The Industrial Pollution Prevention Programme, funded by the Waitematā Local Board, will advise businesses in the suburb on improved practices to reduce the risk of waterway pollution.
Eden Terrace hosts a variety of businesses including retail shops and fitness centres; but the programme will have a particular focus on hospitality and industrial businesses in the area.
Staff from Auckland Council will visit the businesses to discuss potential issues around waterway pollution and to provide waste minimisation advice and spill training.
If changes to business practice are identified to improve waterway protection, recommendations will be developed for the business followed by a check-in to see how they are doing.
Local board chair Richard Northey said the ultimate vision of the programme is for healthy, thriving freshwater systems.
“If we can support local businesses to be aware of, and to mitigate, their impact on waterways, we’ll go a long way towards protecting our freshwater and improving aquatic ecosystems,” he said.
A ‘no mow’ pilot at Grey Lynn Park is being funded by the Waitematā Local Board to improve biodiversity outcomes.
Local residents have championed the project and are working alongside Auckland Council to manage the pilot areas on the park’s grassy slopes visible from Williamson Avenue.

Local residents have championed the project and are working alongside Auckland Council to manage the pilot areas on the park’s grassy slopes visible from Williamson Avenue.
Board chair Richard Northey said the local board are pleased to fund the pilot which supports one of their key priorities, environmental protection and enhancement.
“We look forward to seeing the pilot areas in the park return to wilderness, providing richer habitat for birds, bees and other insects,” he said.
Local resident Wendy Grey said she’s thankful to the local board for providing funding and support for the project.
“A long-term planting plan is being worked on and signage will explain the purpose and benefits of the no mow pilot,” she said.
The Wild Initiative are hoping that by not mowing the pilot areas in the park, soils will regenerate, restoring a healthy ecosystem.

The bar codes will be displayed at the door during boarding, and at individual seats for easy scanning.
Auckland Transport recommends customers scan this QR code to help with contract tracing efforts if needed.
“To help things go smoothly for everyone, please have the Ministry of Health’s NZ COVID Tracer app open and ready to scan during boarding,” a statement read.
Auckland mayor Phil Goff said following the rules wil help keep ourselves and others safe and ensure that we can move out of Alert Level 2 as soon as possible.
“Keeping track of your movements with the NZ COVID Tracer app and ensuring that you are wearing a face covering are two simple ways we can help to constrain the spread of the virus,” he said.
In addition to scanning the Ministry of Health’s QR code, AT recommends that customers also register their AT HOP card to help with contact tracing.
This will also allow AT to monitor passenger numbers and make fast adjustments to services if required due to changes in demand.
Face coverings are also mandatory on public transport, as per Government’s advice.

Auckland mayor Phil Goff has welcomed the decision for the city to stay at alert level 2.5 until September 14, advising Aucklanders it was crucial to “stay the course”.
Goff said the Government’s decision was the right one and asked Aucklanders to continue following the rules so the city could return to level 1 as soon as possible.
“But it’s crucial that we stay the course. While we are all looking forward to level 1, the last thing we want is to move too early and risk a further resurgence of the virus,” he said.
“That would be the worst outcome – not only would it endanger the health and safety of Aucklanders, including some of our most vulnerable communities, it would also further damage businesses and the economy and put the gains we have made so far at risk.”
