• • The Basin Flyover Board of Inquiry Decision Was Clear. Why Are Councils and NZTA Ignoring It?

    • 16 Oct 2014
    • Save the Basin Reserve!
    • One of the most interesting (and I wish I could say surprising) things about reaction to the Board of Inquiry decision to decline resource consent for a Basin Reserve flyover is how reluctant the New Zealand Transport Agency, many local councils, and flyover cheerleaders in the business community have been to examine what the Board actually said.

• • Exploring Māori legal traditions

    • 4 Nov 2014
    • Victoria University of Wellington
    • In recent years, there has been growing recognition that Māori law is not limited to practices that the state legal system recognises. Māori society has law-making and dispute resolution institutions which both predate the New Zealand state legal system and continue to operate alongside it. Māori legal traditions exist as part of a distinct Māori legal system.

But how do you tell which bird is which, particularly when tui and bellbirds imitate each other, and the trilling of the ruru sounds just like a kiwi? And what does that mean for conservation projects and pest tracking?
