The confronting truth of what happened in our recent past is something New Zealanders have to reckon with. When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.

When the Treaty of Waitangi was signed, Māori owned more than 66 million acres of land. By 1975, almost 97 per cent had been sold or taken.
In August 1865, a Crown force of about 500 men, drawn largely from neighbouring iwi, entered the rohe of Ngāti Awa in Eastern Bay of Plenty to execute an arrest warrant for the killing of a Crown official, James Te Mautaranui Fulloon.
Find out more about what happened to Ngāti Awa, where you live, and how much the land was settled for - it may surprise.

At the current spot price of Bitcoin and energy provider Kwh rates the machines just break even. NZ power is very costly compared to the rest of the world so the only way to mine profitably is direct with renewable energy sources. I would like to pilot some sites in NZ and bring foreign investment to create large scale farms.
Please contact me if you have any sort of connections to renewable energy or even if you have at least 1.5Kw surplus solar at your home which will cater for one machine that is a good start, private power generators with large Kw and even MW capacity are very welcome.

However students can still use firearms as part of shooting clubs and competitions. Click here to read the full article and guidelines.

Living with Tourettes NZ. is on Prime, Sunday at 8.30pm for another 5 weeks.
It gives a great insight into the lives of people in New Zealand living with Tourettes Syndrome.
Tourettes is a debilitating syndrome that is not recognized as a disability here and very much misunderstood.
My daughter Jessica is one of the 6 people that were followed and is hoping this will bring a better understanding to the wider community of the daily challengers faced by people with Tourettes Syndrome.

Hi, my beautiful Bengal Bubbles is still missing from Ohope. He’s a 2 yr old desexed male and is microchipped. I believe he may have been taken out of the area as he wasn’t well liked by some bird lovers in our area. Missing since Feb 5th. Please keep your eyes out for him, and your ears open to any neighbourhood gossip about him. He could be anywhere. We miss him so much and desperately want him home. Thanks 😻

The project is part of an ongoing track improvement programme being undertaken by the Whakatāne District Council and will include a number of improvements, including the removal of some existing steps and the installation of new box steps, erosion controls and improved track benching.
Site work is expected to begin on the track on Monday, 30 July and will take approximately six weeks to complete. The walkway will remain open to the public throughout the upgrade period, but walkers may face short delays at any of the multiple work zones, and when helicopter operations are underway.
