EarthDiverse Term 3 Intro to New Zealand History course

todd from EarthDiverse

EarthDiverse is pleased to present one of its newest History courses: “A Hitchhiker’s Guide to the History of the Land of the Long White Cloud, Aotearoa New Zealand.” This introduction and overview to New Zealand history through a series of 8 talks explores Rudyard Kipling’s description of New Zealand as “Last, Loneliest, Loveliest.” Aotearoa New Zealand, one of the most isolated countries in the world, has a unique and intriguing history, waiting to be told and retold to curious minds. Over the following eight weeks we will explore the geographical, social, economic and political characteristics of this small nation, which has already punched above its weight locally and internationally. Begins Fridays starting 6 August, 4:00-6:00pm. In-person or on-line.

Poll: Do you think this was the right decision?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Hamilton City Council is defending a $60,000 spend on a flood of water management PR featuring a TV personality as residents face huge rates rises.

At a time of council cash constraints, Te Radar - real name Andrew Lumsden - catches the eye on the council’s Facebook page, where he currently features in three “explainer” video clips about Hamilton’s water services.

Do you think this was the right decision? Tell us your reasons in the comments (adding NFP if you don't want your words used in print).
