The Prime Minister says he has the full support of his team but sources have told The Post the phones are running hot.

Great piece about a unique time in this city

Seen in Ōtepoti today

From today, the public will be asked for their views on whether the cathedral should have more public money - such a move will increase rates.

Thoughtful piece with fine writing by @secondzeit.bsky.social about this city’s centre. You’re there @publicaddress.bsky.social, as you well deserve to be for helping some of us make sense of our lives over the last 15 years. www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

I marked the quake anniversary by redoing a quake walk from 2011 www.thepress.co.nz/nz-news/3609...

On the eve of the 15th anniversary, former Earthquake Recovery Minister reveals what he thinks about the cathedral, going to the brink with insurers and his one regret.

A cordon walk was a sobering experience for journalist Philip Matthews in 2011. How does central Christchurch look now, 15 years on?

The iconic fish replica had just been refurbished, at a cost of $300,000

OPINION: Why the Government has a woman problem.

Breton Dukes on the front of the Sunday paper

New Breton Dukes story!

What an incredible, insightful, and poetic piece: "Twin Peaks is my comfort show: not because it makes me feel better, but because it assures me the world is worse and that I am not alone in noticing."

Turning his hand to fiction, Dukes’ new novel Party Boy helped him process dark memories of Otago Boys’ High.

The Cafe Continental was meant to crown Sumner as New Zealand’s premier watering place, but a fire left only twisted iron and unanswered questions about the hotel’s so-called safety.

Okay. I’m convinced. We did need a covered stadium.

A new history of the famous Lloyd Geering heresy trial that pitted one New Zealand city against another, reviewed by Philip Matthews

The Christchurch music promoter who founded one of New Zealand's leading poster companies says he is not afraid of dying, but is “afraid of living this way for much longer”.

OPINION: After the earthquake in 2011 I remember standing outside our broken cathedral with Mayor Bob Parker and saying to the world’s media, “the heart of our city has been broken. We will rebuild it.”

Bobby Weir has died.....😢 www.tmz.com/2026/01/10/g...

“Art doesn’t have boundaries,” McGlashan tells the Star-Times. “We make it because it makes us feel more alive. We truly believe that somewhere in the new thing that we’re writing there’ll be a spark that connects with somebody and will make them feel less alone.”

One of the coolest photos ever taken in New Zealand. RIP a true original.

You and your wife drop your 6-year-old off at school. You just moved here. You see ICE terrorizing your new neighbors. You film them, as is your legal right. Your wife complies with orders. She is then shot in the head. You still have to pick up your child later today. This could be you.

Dune 3: Spice Up Your Life

My year in review

I’ve done some catalogue searching and am fairly confident in saying that 5/10 titles in this list do not exist (1, 2, 4, 5 and 7). Sloppy, unacceptable, and a real kick in the guts to real authors with real books they’d love people to buy and read!

The Haeata principal recently found herself in a spectacular war of words with David Seymour over mouldy school lunches. It was not her first fight.

New Zealand grants name suppression far more than an Australian state where court-ordered secrecy is “out of control”. Is the public losing confidence in our courts?

James Cameron on Avatar: "It doesn’t feel like an animated film ... it exists as some kind of lucid dream-like state in between, which I think is part of the power of the film."

She speaks to Laura Hampson about the reality of healthcare in Aotearoa and her optimism for the next generation of GPs.

The official looking signs have been appearing around the city, but the person responsible calls it "well-behaved mischief".

The baby seal made its way up the Heathcote River to Woolston where it was fed fish from a group of boys fishing.

The 32,000sqm Parakiore is the largest of its kind in New Zealand and is open to the public in less than two weeks.
