A bronze chief has had $15K in repairs more than a decade after his taiaha was broken and his patu taken.

The statue, Te Rangatira, was created by sculptor Michael Weir for the Waihī Streetscape 2000. He was commissioned by the Hauraki District Council to create a rangatira (Māori chief) holding a taiaha (spear) and “striking the ground from which water gushed”.
Finding a company that could do the repairs was part of the reason for the delay, the council said.

|feeling insecure and vulnerable in one of Hamilton’s “bad neighbourhoods” after police cut down her wire fence chasing suspected robbers|.
More than four months after the incident the woman, who mostly lives by herself, says she is “disgusted with the police” and their lack of action - especially as her section backs onto a gully often used as a thoroughfare for people up to no good.
In a strange twist, police contacted her son about the repairs only hours after being approached by the Waikato Times for comment.
