Wednesday 13 November 2019 | Published in Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor, The Democratic Party candidate for the Tengatangi-Areora-Ngatiarua constituency in Atiu, June Baudinet, is to be commended for her courage to accept and stand in the by-election.

Friday 8 November 2019 | Written by Jonathan Milne | Published in Editorials
I got the golf clubs out at the weekend. When I opened the dusty green leather bag, I found some old score cards from courses in New Zealand and the UK, a pair of very dated wrap-around sunglasses, and a blue baseball cap that I think belonged to a friend I used to play goat-track golf with, back in the madcap days before kids and mortgages.
