I went and saw the Robbie Williams biopic Better Man today.. Thought it was brilliant piece of cinema. Rolls along at good pace. Uses the songs to add to story line. Beautifully shot and a perfect Alta ego. Worth a watch even if not a robbie fan

Auckland has put up big christmas tree..

Wow brilliant talk by Raukumara Pae Maunga work on the coast. 8 years of engagement with whanau and community to enable 1080 use on their motu. "Small threads weave sucess" Going in the front gate, asking the Aunty's for keys, permissions.. Contractors stayed on marae with hapu.

Attending the post truth world stream.. Some good talks around use of engagement and consultation to take communities along on journey towards those scary subjects. 1080, gene modification and general distrust in authorities. #nzes2024
