Ross Meurant: ‘History can be a Bitch’ – once said Titewhai Harawira

February 28, 2021, I penned my first blog for Dr Muriel Newman’s platform: A Step Too Far (1)    T’was but only last week, 3 years plus, that I vowed, not to blog again. I felt I was saying versions of the same thing.

November 14, 2024, and atrocity in the Hallowed Halls of New Zealand’s Parliament, however, was another, Step Too Far.

As Titewhai Harawira once said, ‘History can be a Bitch’, I say, “It sure can.”

Clive Bibby: Pushing Shit Uphill!

I turned 76 last week.

I brought my young family to live here in Uawa / Tolaga Bay 40 years ago last June.

At the time, l had this unquenchable thirst to have a go farming on my own account before the opportunity would pass me by.  Although, on balance, it was a decision l don’t regret, in retrospect the hardship encountered during those years is something we could have done without.
