Wellington getting behind the hihi
It is time to get in behind yellow and black for the Bird of the Year.
From November 2-15, Bird of the Year Te Manu Rongonui o Te Tau 2020 is back showcasing our native birds and encouraging Kiwis to vote for their favourite feathered friend.
This year the Wellington City Council is backing the hihi (also known as the stitchbird).
The total population of the hihi is unlikely to exceed 2000 birds.
Wellington's Zealandia is thought now to have the largest mainland population.
Wellington sports teams The Pulse and The Phoenix are also supporting the hihi – the bird that sports their team colours.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)

It's not enough that we pay ACC $500 per year. Now the council want to charge for parking. So much for reducing congestion or saving the planet.
