English learning needs

Mohammad Rafi from Epsom

I recently moved from Afghanistan with my wife and 3 kids to Epsom. It is a quite nice place. Although my English is not perfect, I try to learn it. At the moment, I have some conversations with Kiwis but I need more help to master my language ASAP. If any native speaker is interested to help me learn English in a friendly conversation at the park or other place please let me know. Thank you

Aroha (Love and Compassion) - Day 14

Kiran Reddy from Mount Eden

Tāwhirimātea and the Rescued Tītī Birds


In a time of great storms, Tāwhirimātea, Atua of winds and weather, saw the little tītī (muttonbirds) struggling against fierce gales that had scattered their flock. Though known for his ferocity, Tāwhirimātea felt aroha for the vulnerable birds. He calmed the winds and guided the tītī to shelter, teaching the Atua of the forest, Tāne, how to protect them with his trees. The birds thrived, and in gratitude, they became a source of sustenance and companionship for the people.

Moral: True power lies in compassion, and by caring for others, we create harmony in our world.

Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.

This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.

Do you think this ban is reasonable?
