    Safety first: what the supreme court’s decision and the pilots’ assocation’s win means to the runway extension – and how wial is trying to get around it

    • 30 Jul 2018
    • Guardians of the Bays
    • Legal matters can be confounding to the lay person, to say the least, and the ongoing saga of the New Zealand’s Air Line Pilots’ Association (“NZALPA”) vs the Civil Aviation Authority (CAA) Director (“the Director”) and Wellington Airport International Limited (“WIAL”) has been more confounding than most.

    Uncovering the social life of plants

    • 6 Aug 2020
    • Victoria University of Wellington
    • Individuals living in colonies, working together through the division of labour and cooperating to care for young is nothing new in the animal kingdom, but the discovery of this behaviour in a plant offers a major breakthrough in our understanding of how life has evolved on Earth.

    • 4 May 2021
    • Wellington Homeless Women's Trust
    •   <figure class=" sqs-block-image-figure intrinsic " >  Sitting on the floor of her room, Tania Thompson says she has been working on an art piece for her bedroom wall. The 58-year-old is fond of recycling and often sees the worth in what others have thrown away. The piece she is weaving comes from discarded thin, wooden planks she found around central Wellington. It’s been a while since Thompson had a place to call home, which she could decorate how she liked. For the past two years, Thompson has been couch-surfing, living in her cousin’s shed and on the streets of central Wellington. She’s one of 41,000 people who are homeless in New Zealand. This figure included people who were living out of cars and in garages. But for the past five months, Thompson has been living in transitional housing on Manners St, provided by Wellington Homeless Women’s Trust (WHWT). “I feel really safe and wish I had come here ages ago. I look forward to coming home," she said.   <a href="https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/125008567/wellington-homeless-womens-trust-tenant-looks-forward-to-coming-home" class="sqs-block-button-element--small sqs-button-element--tertiary sqs-block-button-element" target="_blank" > Full Article   Permalink

    • 31 Jul 2014
    • Orchestra Wellington
    • With just over 1 week to go until our next concert 'SONG OF THE NIGHTINGALE' next Saturday, here are a few words from our head conductor & music director Marc Taddei on the ideas behind the shows ‘Bird’ theme! "Sometimes as programmers we get a little ‘cute’ with concepts and I could not resist the idea of a ‘bird’ concert! Of course, themes like this work only if the music is first rate! I love the connection between the master of the 20th Century and his teacher. One can clearly hear the exoticism that Stravinsky absorbed from Rimsky-Korsakov. These are two orchestral tours de force. The Ravel G major concerto is a genius work of modernism that is clearly inspired by Jazz while the Haydn symphony expertly balances the grave G-minor tonality with a light-hearted quality that soon wins out”  For a full rundown of the concert head HERE Tickets are still available online from TICKETEK NEW ZEALAND and also from the Ticketek Box Office so don’t forget to utilise our special offer, by presenting your PITA & THE WOLF’ stub (or proof of purchase as your details will be on file) you will get 50% OFF full-priced Adult and Gold Card Concession tickets!
