Reporter Sunday Star Times

Many New Zealanders loved Kiwiana and it helped define us on the world stage – but Kiwiana was a creation of the last century.

New Zealand's national paper, the Sunday Star-Times, is embarking on a project to find out what Kiwiana has evolved into and how it encapsulates the values of our diverse, innovative 21st century nation.

Join us as we explore what Kiwi culture looks like in neighbourhoods across the country. In the coming weeks, you'll notice a few posts about Kiwi innovations popping up across Neighbourly - we'd love for you engage and let us know what innovations and innovators you think need profiling!

Have you looked at your toes nails lately?

Director from Laser Nail Clinic

Are you scared to let your, dare I say it, grotesque fungal infected nails, out of hiding? Painting them with nail polish is not going to help, in fact it just makes it worse – there is nothing fungi like better than a dark, warm and moist environment! Doing nothing and hoping it will go away is … View moreAre you scared to let your, dare I say it, grotesque fungal infected nails, out of hiding? Painting them with nail polish is not going to help, in fact it just makes it worse – there is nothing fungi like better than a dark, warm and moist environment! Doing nothing and hoping it will go away is also not an option. All that happens then is that the infection will continue to spread to the other nails and each nail will gradually become thick and crusty – not a good look!
To find out more you can either visit our informative web site (www.lasernailclinic.co.nz) or call us on 0800 952 737.

The evolution of the New Zealand state house

Housing New Zealand

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

The state houses of the 1930s and 40s are part of the fabric of New Zealand society. Hundreds of thousands of us have lived in one, or next to one. They have a reputation for having “good bones” and, today, they’re often seen as tidy, blank canvases for home buyers to breathe new life into.

Fast-forward 80 years, and Housing New Zealand is still building high-quality, state-of-the-art homes that are winning awards and setting a new standard for state housing.

Take a journey through the evolution of the state house, from its humble beginnings to the warm, healthy, modern homes we’re building today.
