    • Wellington Club Weekly
    • By Kevin McCarthy I am sure the Aussies coined the phrase of one day a rooster, the next a feather duster. So, the Wallabies got served on Eden Park and little surprise there. Big relief for Ian Foster and co, but hardly enough to crack open celebrations. We might know a bit more after four...

    • By Kevin McCarthy The Blues can have him. That Jordie fellow.  The one who missed the penalties. Yes, I’m joking. The season may be over for the Canes, but the pit of the stomach feeling is still there, even if tonight’s closer against the Reds is likely to be meaningless in competition teams. The reason...

    • This is the only theatre show currently running in Wellington, we’re told, as Community Noticeboard begins. It’s a little surreal to be back in a theatre – I’ve personally not been in one since like… June? – and it is especially surreal to be wearing masks and spaced out across a traverse in BATS Theatre’s Dome stage.

    A good place: functioning? Liveable? Loveable??

    • For decades we’ve taken a prosaic approach to our towns and cities, focussing on physical infrastructure, and, recently “liveable” places. What could we see through a lens of “loveable” places? Is a loveable place different from a liveable one? Does a place’s loveability compensate for some basic things being broken? Consultancy firm GHD has come...
