I te kōrero te tangata mo ngā “ture Māori”, ko te nuinga e kōrero noaiho ana e pā ana ki ngā ture Pākeha mo ngā tangata Māori. Ka waihōtia ngā ture o te ao Māori, ruiruitia ngā tikanga Māori pūmau, takahia ngā titiro Māori tūturu. (more…)

Salient — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:00:59 +0000

Asthma is a common health condition in New Zealand. Asthma can be serious and potentially life threatening. The actual cause of this respiratory disease is uncertain. What is known is that people who have asthma have sensitive airways in their lungs, which react to ‘environmental triggers’ that do not affect other people. (more…)

Queer

It’s been a long time coming but, having finally read enough Margaret Cho to fuck a Republican in half, I feel comfortable holding an opinion about gay marriage. I’ll admit that it’s mainly hers, but then it’s difficult to have a discussion about gay marriage without referring almost solely to the battle raging (more…)

Revolutionary Violence is not ok

Tristan Egarr — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:00:47 +0000

I used to think anti-globalisation protestors were pretty cool. Of course, this was when I was about fourteen and fancied myself a revolutionary (more…)

Dark Beers

Neil Miller — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:00:47 +0000

A surprising number of people have absolutely no idea how beers get a dark colour. Depressingly, the majority seem to think that artificial colour is simply added at some specified point in the brewing process and – hey presto – instant dark beer.

What is the direction forward for Victoria University?

Questions like this get asked regularly and to most extent we as students have little control over the university and our wider existance in general. That the university is asking students for their opinions on the strategic plan is new and interesting, it hasn’t been done before. (more…)

The Zimbab Way

Michael Oliver — Sun, 13 Jul 2008 21:00:01 +0000

Look inside yourselves, sports fans. You know it doesn’t get much more win-win than this. In an effort to succinctly curb the taunts and machinations of an increasingly curious Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) while simultaneously issuing a callous finger-wagging the likes of which can only be compared with the disapproving grimace of a kindergarten teacher, (more…)
