Your thoughts on making Matariki a public holiday

The Team Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

Hi neighbours,

Labour will make Matariki New Zealand's 12th public holiday from 2022 if re-elected, Jacinda Ardern has announced.

The new winter public holiday would fall at some point during the Matariki period, with an expectation that it would always happen on either a Monday or a Friday.

The policy announcement follows a series of public campaigns for Matariki, which acts as the Māori New Year, to be recognised.

We want to hear your thoughts about Matariki becoming a public holiday. Do you support the idea, or are you against it? Perhaps you have a counter proposal.

Time to re-think pine forestry in Nelson?

Nelson City Councillor Rachel Sanson is pushing for council to move away from clear cutting pine forestry, and towards selective logging and native forests - saying the economic and environmental costs outweighed the benefits.

Currently pine plantations comprise the majority of the council's 640ha forestry assets, although in 2018 a decision was made to retire 140ha and replant them in permanent native forest.

What do you think council should do with its forestry assets in the future? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section below.

I do like a bit of a spunky-looking candidate!

Eva from The Brook

I thought I'd go and check out this Billy T K, as I had heard people talk about him so much.

I thought I'd go and check out this Billy T K, as I had heard people talk about him so much.
He also raises some issues where we know that the official line has been less than honest in the past, so that sounded interesting.

And, you know, trying to be open, do my own research, think for myself, that is important, isn't it?

So I found one of his talks and listened to it. On Facebook.
It seems quite an informal little talk, just off-the-cuff, in a day-to-day environment.

A few minutes into the talk I hear this sentence:
"Without Democracy you don't have Outdoors, you don't have Conservatism, you don't have Monetary Reform, you don't have anything".

Having done a bit of study in social psychology, that made my ears prick up.
I asked myself: "What is he actually trying to say?"

"No outdoors without democracy?! Eh??"

Having learned to analyse this kind of thing, I found all these red flags:
1) It's a sentence that is meant to arouse emotion, rather than convey any real meaning.
2) Look at it: 'Outdoors', 'Conservatism' etc...
A sentence that means nothing but chimes with as many as possible.
2)The sentence structure also, with its sequence of buzz words, is designed to be emotive and bypass clear thinking.

Straight from the handbook of manipulation.

That is not just a little informal off-the-cuff talk, there is some sophisticated speech writing behind it!

He's just there to attack the govt, sow confusion.
Who for?
My guess is as good as yours.
