Auckland, New Zealand · AucklandMONDAY Sheriff Mark Mitchell rose at dawn. He had a long day’s ride ahead of him. He was headed for Waikeria. Waikeria!

New Zealand · New ZealandNew Zealand’s drug legislation hasn’t been overhauled in nearly 50 years, in spite of a recommendation from the Law Commission in 2011 to do so. Our Misuse of Drugs Act was passed in 1975 and is based on a United Nations framework set in 1961. Now a new organisation, Harm Reduction Coalition Aotearoa – backed by 155 experts – is calling on the Government to not only amend the legislation, but scrap it all together, and legalise all drugs.

Auckland, New Zealand · AucklandAnalysis: What a difference a year makes. In mid 2023, Wayne Brown the Auckland Mayor was a politician diminished by a calamitous response to the region’s Anniversary Weekend storm emergency and later forced against his preference into a half sale only of the city’s airport shares. His demeanour among his councillor colleagues was variously combative or dismissive, mischievous or teasing. He had a chief executive not to his taste and a council a…See the Story
