Impressive Tongan tapa – an installation challenge.
- Te Papa's blog
- But one Tongan tapa cloth (ngatu) in Te Papa’s collection is amazing because of its size – it is more than 22 metres long and over 4 metres wide. We have never been able to display it rolled out before – we didn’t have a wall big enough, until now…

No water privatisation in wellington -yeah right!
- 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.

One of our regular readers sent this pic in as they started work:

Rocky road for Cuba Carni
- Eye of the Fish
- Front page news today that the Cuba Carnival is canned for next year, and that the future of the whole event is in doubt: Oh No, Say It Isn’t So! That sucks – it really does.
