Mahurangi Matters, 1 April 2024 – Off the Record

To all those naysayers who said Auckland Transport was wasting money putting in the seats at the end of Te Honohono ki Tai Road, eat your words! As readers can plainly see, the seats are being very well-used indeed.


Rocks in their head

Auckland Council has splashed out $730,000 on eight large rocks, which have been rehomed in downtown Federal Street. The artwork called Lost & Found has everyday objects carved on the upper surfaces of the rocks – the woven thread of shoelaces in a pair of sneakers, a baseball cap, puffer jacket, sunglasses, gloves and a backpack. So good to see council taking seriously the cost of living crisis and only spending hard earned ratepayer money on the essentials.
