- 30 Aug 2010
- Karori Sanctuary Trust
- ZEALANDIA and the Department of Conservation (DOC) are hoping to remove brown trout from the upper Karori reservoir and the streams flowing into it this summer. This would be a “first” for New Zealand, as the complete removal of introduced fish from streams has not been successful here before.

For sale: a home of the little blue penguins
- 27 Aug 2010
- Wellington Scoop
- Consistency must count for something in Mayor Kerry Prendergast’s strategy, but it was conspicuous by its absence in a 24-hour period this week. On Tuesday, she honoured Forest & Bird and their project to save little blue penguins. One day later came her action to remove from city ownership and protection a piece of land that is a home for some of those same little penguins.

No water privatisation in wellington -yeah right!
- 20 Jun 2010
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- On Thursday, 17 June 2010, the Wellington City Council Strategy and Policy Committee met to finalise Council's submission on the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill. Radio New Zealand's response this morning was misleading to say the least in that it stated that Wellington City Council had backed down on water privatisation through public pressure. It was one of the more misleading news items that I have ever heard. Council was not changing its policy but was making a weasel worded submission on the Local Government Act 2002 Amendment Bill.
