• • OPINION: Weir House Residents Deserve Better

    • 25 Sep 2022
    • Salient
    • Halls of residence: the most anticipated and exciting part of a fresher coming to university. A place to meet new people, to build connections, to party. But in 2022, one VUW hall felt more like a backpacker hostel under construction. Weir House is one of the oldest VUW halls. The glorious-looking hall is part of a complex made of three separate buildings: William Weir (the main building), Andrea Brander, and Te Whanau. At its peak, I bet this place would have felt like a luxury, down the road from the Botanic Gardens. We were misled. Using the Wayback Machine, an online tool that allows you to see older versions of a website, I confirmed that the university website displayed no discussion of any construction or disruptions for future residents at the time we were applying. The earliest correspondence we received about construction work was on 31 January, past the date most people had paid their bond and less than a month before moving in.

• • Death threat for kororā of Shelly Bay

    • 23 Sep 2022
    • Wellington Scoop
    • Shelly Bay is an important nesting site for Aotearoa’s endangered little blue penguin, the kororā. When the Wellington City Council granted resource consent for the Wellington Company’s huge luxury housing development on this site, it accepted the word of ‘experts’ Dr Roger Uys and Brent Tandy that ‘the adverse effects on little blue penguins/kororā will be avoided, and are likely to be less than minor’. As we now see, these views were demonstrably incorrect.

• • The Invisible Women

    • 20 Jun 2022
    • Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
    •   <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " > The Invisible Women OPINION - Written by our very own Board Chair, Jo Cribb. About 50% of Aotearoa's homeless are women, but they are far less likely to be sleeping rougher than men. She is likely to be younger, Māori, have a lower income and be more dependent on benefits than a homeless man. Women with children are also more likely to be homeless than those without. Homeless women are also less likely to be found in temporary accommodation (boarding hostels and alike), but more likely to be found couch surfing between friends/family or sharing overcrowded accommodation with others. https://www.newsroom.co.nz/jo-cribb-the-invisible-women Published Aug 25, 2021Photo by - Lynn Grieveson
