When the media advocate racism to hide the real culprits behind bad driving
- Jack Yan
- This op–ed in the Fairfax Press smacks of typical yellow peril journalism that has come to typify what passes for some media coverage of late.

Mind the gap
- Jack Yan
- People have rightly asked me my positions on transport, the environment, the Basin Reserve flyover, and libraries. These weren’t put in my manifesto in April 2013 because I assumed that they would not be hot election issues, and that candidates (whomever they might be—since only Dr Keith Johnson had declared then) would have largely [...]

Hutt City mayoral candidate Ray Wallace takes a “hands-on” approach
- Wellington Scoop
- It may not have got him over the line last time, but Lower Hutt mayoral candidate Ray Wallace hopes using the same approach will get his nose ahead in this year’s election. In what is a two-horse race between himself and Mayor David Ogden, Councilor Wallace has again adopted a “hands-on” approach to promote his visions for the city and to gauge public opinion.

Fields of dreams
- Mark Greening
- But as a coach of a Division 7 football team in Brooklyn, its been a frustrating year with the weather. All to often grounds are closed or games are called off. This is understandable, as its better not to cut the grounds up, and miss out on training or playing on those very same grounds for another 2 weeks or more.

Statues or Fun?
- Sharon Blaikie
- So, $350 000 for a statue that will be passe in a couple of years. One of those statues like the Queen Victoria ones that cities try to fob off on each other. Yet, those events that help to make Wellington a great place to live or visit like the Cuba Street Carnival and the Newtown Fair can't be held for lack of money. How absurd!

Nanatech
- Hutt Chick
- In this high-tech world, there is a new trend emerging in Lower Hutt. People from all walks of life are rediscovering a simpler time and simple pleasures like freshly baked bread, homemade preserves and freshly grown vegetables. As well as saving money, they are reducing their impact on the planet too.

Wellington is facing rising sea levels
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- At the Wellington City Council Strategy and Policy Committee briefing of December 1 we were shown a computer model of the areas of Wellington that would be flooded by sea level rise as a consequence of global warming. One of the areas that may be impacted is the site of the Indoor Sports Centre. There is no doubt there will be consequences that will be beyond our control even if Wellington were to reduce green house gas emissions.

Sos newtown
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- A press release from the New Zealand Police today revealed community constables are going to be working with Tranz-Metro and talking to commuters about problems in their areas, while in transit on the train. If this is what the police is going to do with their "precious" resources we need to build a railway station in Newtown!

PUT THE INDOOR SPORTS CENTRE ON HOLD - Cr Pepperell

Save the point has won in the environment court
- Bryan Pepperell - Back To The Future
- In 2000 I began one of my longest political battles . Yesterday it finished in the Environment Court with a ruling that the South Coast is not an appropriate place for an Aquarium. In that time I was supported only by Cr David Zwartz. In 2004 I was joined by Cr Jack Ruben in my opposition. This proposal divided the community. While the political battle was raging and we were overwhelmed by a developer friendly Council, Save Te Rae Kai Hau Point was formed. It was this group that in the end won the day.
