Nedavno poročanje
The Unity Books bestseller chart for the week ending July 3
This article from The Spinoff presents the top-selling books at Unity Books' stores in Auckland and Wellington for the week ending July 3. In Auckland, 'The Valley: Crime and Punishment in a New Zealand City' by Asher Emanuel leads the list, followed by 'London Falling' by Patrick Radden Keefe and 'The Ballad of Falling Dragons (Moonfall #2)' by Sarah A. Parker. In Wellington, 'Things We Never Say' by Elizabeth Strout tops the list, with 'Moonwalk' by Michael Jackson and 'Insuring the Future: Reimagining Home Insurance in Aotearoa' by Jonathan Boston among the other notable titles. The article includes brief descriptions of each book, highlighting their themes and some cultural or literary significance.
Echo Chamber: Death by a thousand amendments
The article discusses the high volume of legislation being processed in New Zealand Parliament, highlighting concerns over excessive amendments to bills and the impact on parliamentary efficiency. Speaker Gerry Brownlee warns MPs against proposing too many amendments, noting that some Greens MPs, like Lawrence Xu-Nan, frequently submit numerous amendments to individual bills. While the Antisocial Road Use Legislation Bill passed despite opposition, other legislative actions such as the Health and Safety at Work Amendment Bill faced criticism for potentially weakening workplace safety regulations. The piece also mentions the retirement of long-serving speaker’s assistant Roland Todd and references ongoing debates around government policies, including performance targets for social development staff.
Luigi and the Ferret ride again: the long, dazzling double-act of Michael Laws and Winston Peters
Michael Laws, a former National Party MP and mayor of Wanganui, has announced his intention to run for parliament again under New Zealand First, reuniting with Winston Peters, his longtime political partner from the 1980s. Laws previously served in various roles including as a researcher for the National Party and later as a mayor and local councillor. His return to politics comes amid a wave of New Zealand First recruitment, though he will likely enter parliament through the party list rather than contesting a specific electorate due to existing National Party dominance in Waitaki. Laws' political career has included writing books and hosting a radio show, and he aims to maintain these pursuits alongside his political comeback.
From ball-checking to bad grammar: The oddest ad complaints from the last year
The article highlights 10 unusual TV ad complaints received by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) in New Zealand over the past year, all of which were ultimately dismissed. These complaints range from seemingly trivial issues like cartoon cats being stereotyped by a power company, a 'scary' ad interrupting a favorite show, and a confusing Audi car ad where a surfboard mysteriously enters a car. Other complaints include a Dettol hand sanitizer ad featuring a child picking its nose, which sparked outrage despite the ASA ruling it acceptable, and a Sanitarium Up and Go ad criticized for depicting theft. While some complaints were upheld, many were deemed not to breach advertising standards. The piece underscores the often humorous or quirky nature of these complaints, reflecting public engagement with advertising content.
Zares presenetljivo: Novozelandski film o odraslosti, ki veliko zasluži v tujini

El Niño is here! What’s El Niño, again?
El Niño has been officially declared in New Zealand by Earth Sciences New Zealand (ESNZ), marking a significant climatic shift. The phenomenon involves weakened trade winds leading to warmer waters in the eastern Pacific and cooler waters in the western Pacific, resulting in drier conditions in eastern New Zealand and increased rainfall in the west. ESNZ forecasts a 'strong' or even 'super' El Niño, with sea surface temperatures expected to rise significantly. This could lead to heightened risks of drought and wildfires, especially impacting regions like Christchurch, which recently had its driest May on record. Scientists warn that New Zealand may have underestimated its vulnerability to extreme droughts, citing historical events like the 1914-15 drought. However, experts note that not all El Niño events result in droughts, nor do all droughts occur during El Niño. While some European heatwaves have been linked to El Niño, scientific analyses suggest they are primarily driven by climate change rather than El Niño alone.
Local board votes for widespread intensification in Auckland's central suburbs
Residents of Auckland's central suburbs, such as Mount Eden, Kingsland, and Epsom, have strongly opposed a proposed plan to allow high-density housing developments, including 15-storey apartment blocks, in areas known for their historic character. The plan aims to address the government's requirement for building 1.4 million new homes, especially near public transport and the city center. Two options were put forward for public consultation: Option A, meeting the minimum requirements, and Option B, involving broader intensification. Most submitters opposed both options, citing concerns about the removal of special character status for nearly 5,000 homes, increased flood risks due to aging infrastructure, and potential environmental damage. Residents highlighted issues such as outdated wastewater systems and the dangers posed by flooding, referencing past experiences during the 2023 Auckland Anniversary floods. Some community members argued that preserving these historic areas is crucial to maintaining Auckland's unique identity.

Domnevno progresivna kampanja za omejitev stanovanj v luksuznih predmestjih
Lokalni odbor Waitematā v Aucklandu, ki ga podpira nekdanji premier Helen Clark, zagovarja stanovanjsko politiko, ki omejuje razvoj visoke gostote v bogatih, bogatih predmestjih v bližini mestnega središča. Trdijo, da bi zmanjšanje območja "hodnega povodja" od 1,2 km na 800 m preprečilo gradnjo na območjih, kot sta St Mary's Bay in Parnell, kjer so cene nepremičnin izjemno visoke. Namesto tega predlagajo preusmeritev razvoja na manj bogata območja, kot so južni, zahodni in severni Auckland.
Damien O'Connor o tem, kako ga je kopanje dreka pripravilo na parlament
O'Connor se spominja svojih zgodnjih izzivov, kot je podpora nekdanjemu voditelju laburistov Mikeu Mooru med vodilnim udarom Helen Clark, kar je privedlo do poslovnega izpada. Poudaril je svoje delo z nekdanjimi poslanci Johnom Tamiherejem in Doverjem Samuelsom, ki so mu pomagali razumeti maorsko kulturo in politiko. Kljub dolgem mandatu je O'Connor ostal vključen in navdušen nad svojo vlogo ter izrazil željo, da se sčasoma odklopi od političnih pritiskov.
Osebje ministrstva, ki podpira šolski program kosila, porabi 130.000 $ za potovanje v letu
V članku Radio New Zealand poroča, da je osebje, ki dela na programu Ministrstva za izobraževanje "Zdravi šolski kosili", v enem letu porabilo približno 130.000 dolarjev za potovanja. Program, ki je bil prestrukturiran pod pomočnikom ministra za izobraževanje Davidom Seymourjem z namenom zmanjšanja stroškov, se je soočil s kritikami Odbora za revizijo zaradi slabih praks nabave in pomanjkanja nadzora.
Bi se morala spoprijateljiti z pisarniškim traparjem?
Nov zaposleni v podjetju išče nasvet, ali naj razvije prijateljstvo s sodelavcem, ki se ga dojema kot neproduktivnega. Posameznik je zaskrbljen, da bi lahko povezovanje z "slackerjem" negativno vplivalo na njihov poklicni ugled, še posebej, ker se še vedno uveljavljajo v podjetju. Pismo poudarja napetost med osebnimi odnosi in profesionalno podobo v podjetniškem okolju. Odgovor priznava morebitna tveganja, vendar poudarja, da osebnih prijateljstev ne bi smeli združiti s poklicno uspešnostjo. Predlaga, da ugodna primerjava s sodelavcem kaže na priznanje zmožnosti zaposlenega in da je ohranjanje osebnih meja pomembno.
