There’s a part maori bloke in Wellington with that fine old maori surname of McIntyre-Wilson, who is apparently a talented jewellery designer. Recently he was given the job of designing a new children’s playground in the capital’s waterfront Frank Kitt’s park.

Early last year Stuff journo Andrea Vance wrote an article describing how a number of New Zealand (or to her, Aotearoa) university anthropologists were deeply concerned about protecting the remaining moriori tree carvings on the Chatham Islands.

I’m constantly bemused by sloppy writing from academics.

You will have read of the 33 year old maori bloke who leapt off the 45 metre high floating crane in Wellington Harbour and drowned, this the second such fatality in the last two decades.

There’s no point seeking money if you don’t intend to spend it.
