Is a Prime Minster Entitled to a Nice House?
- Eye of the Fish
- There’s been a lot about this house in the news recently – both the paper kind of news, and the TV kind of news. May as well get my news from proper news sources while they exist, seeing as it sounds like soon nothing is going to exist in the news world. What will we do when 3News and OneNews are ditched, and Stuff has gone bust again? Its hard enough to even buy a paper these days, as increasingly nowhere sells them. What do we do in the future – just make up our own news as we go? Seems to be working fine for some people! Anyway, THIS is the house in question:

Summer happenings

Here’s some urbanism-relevant stuff you may have missed (and please add stuff we’ve missed – especially from Porirua, the Hutt valley and Kāpiti!)

Dense Hutt
- Eye of the Fish
- In all the fun and fuss over things like the Election, the country’s love affair / hatred of Winston (there is something very 1984 about Winston being the BiG Brother watching over us / controlling our every move), we (well, me) may have taken our eye off the ball. Well, not the ball, but the Hutt. It seems that the Hutt has fully adopted the MDRS changes proposed by the Government, to the extent that all the following things, which were proposed, have now been implemented, and are now operative. This includes some revisions to the Proposed District Plan, and there are many pages that look like this (only usually more words and less diagrams).

Karori Library Cauldron of Creation: this month’s new fiction
- Wellington City Libraries
- However, this month’s choice was easy – the new book by top Irish writer Liz Nugent Strange Sally Diamond leapt immediately to the top of the list, especially with our very unexpected role in its creation. Let me elucidate – way back on Thursday 3 October 2019, we staged a very special event at Karori Library in conjunction with the Ngaio Marsh awards. This event featured Liz Nugent in conversation with our own multi award winning author, Kirsten McDougall.
