AT transporting te reo Māori through Tāmaki Makaurau
Auckland Transport (AT) has been rolling out te reo Māori on its public transport network for the past seven years, and now has 100 per cent of buses completed.
Over that period, one particular voice has resounded in busses, trains and ferries throughout the city - the te reo Māori announcements by Josy Peita....

Hapū-led partnership launched to protect globally significant Kaipara ecosystems, endangered species
A new hapū-led initiative, Poipoia Te Kākano, aims to protect the delicate ecosystems and endangered species of the Kaipara catchment.
A partnership agreement was signed into effect today at Te Hana Ao Marama Marae by Te Uri o Hau, Te Roroa, Ngā Maunga Whakahii, Auckland Council, Northland Regional Council, and the Department of Conservation.
The partnership is named Puawai ki Kaipara and the initial aim is to rid the five peninsulas encircling the Kaipara Harbour of pests, which include possums, rats, stoats, weasels, ferrets, pigs and feral cats. This area covers 105,000 hectares.

Presumably the total cost of te reo on AT has been calculated. It is absurd that ratepayers subsidise this mana seeking campaign for no purpose relative to transport. On unfamiliar routes I find it very tedious having to listen carefully to separate out the information from the token twaddle. On familiar routes the unnecessarily extended background babble is very distracting. Of course the feedback is positive. Instead of soothing tribal encouragement, the rebuff of non simpering comments render these an obvious waste of time.
Are the unfortunates who live near stations subject to a double dose of what must be mental torture announcements?
Improvement of the Kaipara is commendable. But the bleak poor soil hinterland would seem to offer huge scope for rail access landfill dumps. Hopefully harbour conservation will not totally preclude.
