When the government voted down Phil Twyford's Local Government (Protection of Auckland Assets) Amendment Bill in September, they argued that the bill was unnecessary as there was no plan to privatise Auckland's assets. They lied. Just two months after making those speeches, Cabinet has agreed to make a "minor amendment" removing the requirement for local authorities to consult the public...

Just read the proposed posters bylaw from the Auckland City Council in the local City Scene newsletter. That in itself is not extraordinary (apart from the authoritarian presumption asserted), but the gross failure in delivering timely, fulsome and accurate public information online in regard to what this bylaw change is all about is extraordinary.

I know usually TEN Gossip is light-hearted but I have been dying to do a snarky post. And this one has it written all over it. A company in Auckland, New Zealand put up this billboard to advertise that there was advertising space available to buy. And to me…I think that they chose the right [...]

Once again I have experienced that all too prevalent aspect of Kiwi life yet again, tailgaters. There I was, heading up the Northern Auckland Motorway to Albany at 100 K/ph when the lane I was in start to slow down with big lorries, so I check my mirrors and head into the fast lane while accelerating to approx 110 K/ph, just in case someone comes flying up behind me even faster. Suddenly a guy in a...

Here in Aotearoa NZ we have a complex and bewildering array of possibilities to obtain a theological qualification, and, arguably, it is even more confusing when talking about fulfilling requirements for Anglican ordination (because there are no national standards).

What titles these university types give themselves. Ihimaera's new book, The Torwenna Sea is a 528 page novel. 0.4 per cent of it is plagiarised. I make that about two pages. It is not the crime of the century, but you do not do it....
