If the government addressed those, it would solve the downstream issues of housing, poverty and truancy.

"It's almost like the candidates are fighting the battles in the big cities and the regional areas are being overlooked."

Did you know that in February 1963, a bus load of locals from Helensville north west of Auckland went to Waitangi
 to support a local kaum ātua who was receiving a special honour from the Queen who was
visiting? On the journey home the bus lost its brakes on the Brynderwyn hills and went careering
