The Mangawhai community is banding together to pick up the pieces from yesterday morning's tornado. Two people were seriously injured and nine buildings are yellow stickered - with another 26 white stickered as possibly damaged, but safe. Restoring power is taking longer than first expected, with worse damage than first thought. All but 30 customers should have electricity by midnight. Kaipara mayor Craig Jepson says only one person has needed emergency accommodation through the welfare team. "Other than that, I think people relied on the generosity of friends and family and other people that stepped up." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kaipara District Council could become the first to remove the Te Moananui o Kaipara Māori ward under new legislation. Councillors are meeting in Mangawhai today to vote on the decision, with protests also expected. Mayor Craig Jepson called the meeting just 24 hours after the new law kicked in. Jepson told Mike Hosking he doesn't think there's any need for Māori Wards He says it'll be a democratic process, but he just hopes intimidation doesn't change councillors' votes.

It's the last day of the kumara harvest at Dunsmore Gardens, a farm on the outskirts of Dargaville. It's also time to celebrate after the grower lost 99 percent of his crop last season.
A Northland mayor is hailing the new law that requires Māori wards to be put to referendum as a win for democracy. The coalition Government is introducing a bill allowing communities to petition for binding polls on Māori ward decisions. It reverses legislation from the previous Government that ensured councils would not have wards overturned through public referendum. Kaipara mayor Craig Jepson told Mike Hosking he believes a lot of Māori would support the new bill. He says the previous laws were condescending to Māori and don't acknowledge them as hard-working people. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On this episode of RaboTalk's Growing our future, host Katie Rodwell is joined by Adam and Laura Cullen. Adam and Laura own and operate a 220-ha dairy farm in Kaipara, focusing on maintaining profitability while farming regeneratively and responsibly. This episode focuses on using soil health to create financial value, looking for wins outside of the numbers, and how they're changing the game from within their farm gate. Katie, Adam, and Laura discuss leaving the land in a better state for their children, their goal of a carbon-neutral farm, and managing the setbacks that come with farming. Laura shares her love for involving the birds and trees into their day-to-day operations; farming true to your values; letting data lead the way when planning for the future; and sustainability through people, the environment, and the business. Adam outlines their strategies for targeting better soil health; the performance they've seen since investing in the environment around them; and fostering pride and resilience throughout the rural community. Together, they look towards 2050, with the opportunity to support new generations of innovation and energy across the sector.
It's almost a year since kumara crops, which were ready to be harvested in the Kaipara District in Northland were pretty much wiped out by two major weather events.
A shortage of New Zealand kumara from Kaipara has forced Nelson chip company Proper Crisps to temporarily switch to sweet potato from Australia. It had already opened a sweet potato factory in Yarra Valley in Victoria last year to meet demand across the ditch. Kaipara Kumara managing director Anthony Blundell told Mike Hosking that it's not a major blow to either party. He says that variety of sweet potato isn't too dissimilar to the kumara they grow, so switching to Australia is the best option. Kumara in some supermarkets at the moment are around $13 a kilo.

Kūmara packers have had their working hours slashed because this year's crop was ravaged by Cyclone Gabrielle. Pack house bosses say they are doing their best to keep staff on for next year's season. Growers are nearing the end of a dismal harvest in Kaipara - losing about 70 per cent to rot. Sam Olley reports from Te Tai Tokerau.
After spending two years in custody awaiting trial, a man has been found not guilty by a jury in less than an hour. Barney Mackie of Kaipara was charged with one count of rape and one of administering ecstasy following an alleged incident in Paparoa in 2021. Criminal Defence Lawyer Steve Cullen says he doubts he is entitled to compensation. "He would have had multiple bail hearings, but the only time I've ever come across people staying in custody for that length or period of time is when they're chosen to, because they know they're facing a significant jail term."

The massive toll Cyclone Gabrielle has taken on Northland residents, roading, rail, businesses and infrastructure is now unfolding as most communication and power has been restored. Te Tai Tokerau Economic Development Agency, Northland Inc says the focus is on recovery, but in many parts of the region the damage and suffering is ongoing and intense. Northland Inc Chief Executive Paul Linton predicts the Government money already allocated to the Far North and Northland will be massively oversubscribed and they'll soon have to ask for more. Kathryn will also speak to Nancy Kareroa-Yorke, who is the Area council chair for NZ Red Cross in Northland about what communities are needing most and to Pera Paniora who is the Maori Ward councillor in Kaipara.
Hundreds of Northlanders are still having to get by without electricity more than week after Cyclone Gabrielle hit. In the Kaipara district alone - there were 300 properties still cut off yesterday- some first lost power nine days ago. Sam Olley reports from Dargaville.
Parts of Northland remain significantly affected by Cyclone Gabrielle, with many people evacuated from Kaipara District's west coast throughout the week. While access within the region has improved with the reopening of Dome Valley on State Highway 1, the Brynderwyns to Waipu remain closed, meaning long detours for travellers. In Kaipara, 20 houses have been red-stickered, while others are suffering from flooding or have had power cut off for days. Tom Taylor reports.

Hundreds gathered on Wednesday morning to protest the mayor of Kaipara banning karakia in council meetings. The protests in Dargaville happened today, despite mayor Craig Jepson changing his stance on karakia in council meetings. He now permits them at the opening and closing of meetings. One of the protest organisers, Paturiri Toautu says he was happy with today's turnout, as he worked hard to get the word out to a wide range of people. He believed this protest was necessary, despite Craig Jepson reversing his stance. "What people don't understand is that karakia belongs to tikanga Maori, it belongs to us as Maori. And it's also basically the only tikanga Maori that we had. We had that one minute karakia in Te Reo Maori and that's all we had." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Close to 400 people have gathered in Dargaville to protest the Kaipara mayor, who shut down a councillor from opening a hui with a karakia two weeks ago.

In the Southern Hemisphere, April 30 marks the Pagan festival of Samhain, sometimes known as witches' New Year's Eve. In Wicca, a modern Pagan religion followed by witches, it's the night when the veil between the living and the dead is thinnest. Rowan of Wycksted is a green witch living rurally in the Kaipara who follows traditions handed down through generations. For her, celebrating the Wiccan new year is a time of family gathering with ceremony and traditions, both serious and fun. Rowan runs Wycksted.co.nz, an online witches store, repository for Wicca information, and - since Covid put a pause on covens - the site for the Wycksted School of Witchery.

Living in New Zealand can be akin to living in Paradise - or it can be sheer hell. It's not about your ethnicity - although Māori are overrepresented in the worst stats - its about poverty and its about location. Look at the stories that have been in the news in the past week - wastewater testing has shown struggling rural towns are bearing the brunt of New Zealand's methamphetamine crisis. The New Zealand Herald says there are a handful of small towns where people there are consuming disproportionate amounts of meth - sometimes up to four times as much as the national average. Kaitaia, Opokiki, Waiora, Kawerau, Tokoroa, Huntly - these are the towns being hit hard. Then we had a story on TV One - One News counted thirty cars on the main street of Kaikohe - half of them had expired warrants or registrations - and having been to Kaikohe on a number of occasions, I have often wondered just how road worthy many of the vehicles I see might be. The Sunday programme highlighted the chronic need for health funding for the people of the East Coast where life expectancy is much lower than anywhere else in the region - the average man lives to 69 whereas the average New Zealander is 81. Meanwhile, over on Newshub the wait times for state houses has absolutely exploded - it's now taking more than six months to house the one per cent of those most on the at risk list. It's a tale of two New Zealands really - look at some of the announcements and pronouncements from the government too in the past week. Rebates on electric cars - vehicles that cost around 40 thousand dollars which is beyond the budget of any of these families in the small towns. The Boomers Bike Bridge to Birkenhead when these small towns are screaming for driveable roads so they can drive the many hundreds of kilometres they need to access hospital treatment or to simply be able to get supplies into their town - like Methven. It's difficult for anyone to access mental health and addiction services - but try getting help living in a small town. You have Nanaia Mahuta telling the people of Auckland that they can subsidise the water reticulation in the Kaipara district because a lot of Aucklanders have holiday homes in the North - seriously?! The vast majority do not. The vast majority are struggling to get by. Every cent counts. They don't have a magical money tree that can be shaken to subsidise their every want and desire - unlike the government. If you are parking your Tesla at the flashest food markets, where imported delicacies are still able to be found despite constraints on the supply chain, life is sweet. There might be civilised debates at dinner parties over whether Māori names are being introduced by stealth and there'll be more impassioned arguments between those who believe the borders should be open and those who don't - but these are all theoretical discussions. Nothing really matters, because they have enough. Their children have enough. They can access the care they need, when they need it.But it's a different story in the other New Zealand. And while I truly believe the government cares about this other New Zealand, caring isn't as important as delivery.

Police have clarified the location of Auckland's lockdown checkpoints, following confusion north of Auckland this morning where residents report being turned away from the police-manned stations.Eight checkpoints were set up around Auckland's regional boundaries as the city entered alert level 3 at midnight Sunday.The rest of the country is at alert level 2.The topic of lockdown checkpoints came up at today's Ministry of Health Covid-19 update, where Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern conceded there was a "very clear miscommunication" regarding checkpoints' boundaries.Auckland's "legal border" is exactly the same in the north as it was last time - but this morning there was a checkpoint further north.Ardern suspected police extended Auckland's border to Mangawhai because it might have meant people could travel more widely in the region but what it actually meant was more towns and communities were affected than needed - but said she wasn't looking to find blame.A map of Auckland's level 3 border and more information on travelling through the boundary is available on the Government's Covid-19 website.Police are setting up additional checkpoints and "refining" the locations of the checkpoints to ensure they are as close as possible to Auckland's border.The current three existing checkpoints north of Auckland will be relocated back to the same five locations from the last regional lockdown in 2020.All other checkpoints will remain in their current positions, however, this is being regularly reviewed and assessed, a police spokesperson said.The new checkpoints will be in place by 6pm and stay in place until midnight February 17.By 6pm checkpoints will be at the following locations:Northern• SH1/Mangawhai Rd (Twin Coast Discovery Highway)• Mangawhai Rd/north of Coal Hill Rd• Black Swamp, west of Rako Rd• Mangawhai Rd and Cames Rd• Mangawhai Rd and Ryan RdNote: Mangawhai Rd also known as the Twin Coast Discovery HighwaySouthern• Mercer off-ramp/Koheroa Rd – (southbound traffic on SH1 and Mercy Ferry Rd).• SH1/Oram Rd – (northbound traffic on SH1)• Mangatawhiri Rd /Koheroa Rd/SH2 off-ramp (All east and westbound traffic)• East Coast Rd (Waharau Regional Park)• Pukekawa-Churchill/Highway 22 and Highway 22/Logan Rd• Tuakau Bridge-Port Waikato Rd intersection with Klondyke RdThe spokesperson said police have been pleased with the public's response so far following a change in alert levels overnight."While there have been some expected delays, police report the public have been co-operative and understanding."A small number of motorists have been turned away at the checkpoints due to non-essential travel, the spokesperson said."Police are continuing to work with a graduated response and with today being the first day of checkpoints coming into effect, police's focus has been to first engage with and educate motorists at the checkpoints about the current travel restrictions."Motorists heading out through a checkpoint have been warned to plan ahead and expect some delays."The key message for motorists is to plan ahead and expect some delays. Those who are stopped will be asked about their reason for travel, and to provide proof of an exemption."Police across Tāmaki Makaurau have also been conducting reassurance and visibility patrols, particularly around testing sites where there has been a large turnout this morning.Traffic has noticeably decreased on the roads in Auckland today, the spokesperson said.The spokesperson also reminded the public that front station counters in Tāmaki Makaurau are closed to the public with the exception of Henderson (Waitematā), College Hill (Auckland City) and the Counties Manukau Hub, which are all open 24/7 but with restricted access.North Shore policing centre will also be open 7am to 10pm, seven days a week, with restricted access, it said."Where possible, members of the public are asked to visit us online. You can report non-emergency situations online at www.police...
Confusion reigned in Northland yesterday when Kaipara residents found themselves in an alert level grey area. Police checkpoints were enforced north of Mangawhai, Kaiwaka and Oneriri - but it wasn't clear whether the area was in Alert Level 2 or 3. Sure enough, the checkpoints did not line up with the legal Auckland-Northland border. On Monday afternoon Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern conceded the checkpoints were "some distance from the legal boundary", and they were moved. Jason Smith is Kaipara mayor. He spoke to Corin Dann.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced drought relief measures totalling $10 million during a visit to Kaitaia yesterday afternoon.Around $3 million of the funding will be spent in Northland.The new measures are aimed at drought-hit communities right across the North Island, all of which was this morning declared as being in the grip of a ''large scale adverse event'' by Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor.The Northland drought was officially declared on February 12.Last week's rain made little impression on Northland pastures. Photo / John StoneArdern arrived at Kaitaia airport about 1.15pm for a whistle-stop tour of the Far North's big dry.Accompanied by MPs, Far North District Council and Civil Defence officials, the Prime Minister visited a dairy farm at Awanui, emergency water tanks at Te Ahu, and a council pumping station at Bonnett Rd in Kaitaia.They then proceeded to a council water treatment plant on Okahu Rd west of town.A pipeline is currently being built from a bore on farmland owned by Te Hiku iwi Te Rarawa and Ngāi Takoto to the Okahu Rd plant.Ardern said the rural sector across the North Island was currently ''doing it tough''.''Water is running low across the board – for drinking supplies, the primary sector and firefighting storage – and we will help our communities to get through it," she said.The funding package includes:■ $10m to respond to immediate needs such as delivering water for consumption, sanitation, wastewater systems, stock welfare and horticulture.■ $421,000 to extend Rural Assistance Payments, which can be used to buy water.■ $2m to support farmers and growers across the North Island, parts of the South Island and the Chathams.The government had previously given $2m from the Provincial Growth Fund to set up temporary water supplies for Kaitaia and Kaikohe.Two emergency supplies in Kaitaia are thought to be days away from completion. A temporary pipeline and pumps from iwi-owned Lake Ōmāpere to Wairoro Stream, which provides Kaikohe's water supply, is awaiting district health board sign-off.While parts of Northland have had rain in the past week it was not enough to break the drought or end the total fire ban.Rain on the scale required is not forecast until May.Civil Defence Minister Peeni Henare, who hails from the Mid North and is also visiting Kaitaia today, said the longer extreme drought conditions continued, the greater the threat to water supplies."Northland is particularly vulnerable with severe water restrictions already in place, a high number of people on water tanks, and significant areas of deprivation. We must act now to have the systems and support in place to assist communities already stressed by drought conditions and the associated water shortages,'' he said.Level 4 restrictions, which allow water to be used for essential purposes only, are currently in place in Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Paihia-Waitangi-Ōpua, Kawakawa-Moerewa, Rawene-Omanaia, and all of the Kaipara.Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta said providing water for human consumption and sanitation was the highest priority."I'd like to acknowledge the efforts of councils to support their communities to date. With this initiative we envisage working with local councils and suppliers in Northland and other affected areas to deliver targeted solutions as required."While the funding announced today is intended to address immediate water-supply issues, it also provides a timely opportunity to advance our conversations with councils about developing sustainable, resilient water service delivery models,'' Mahuta said.
Hēnare Mātene Te Whiwhi, aka Te Whiwhi-o-te-rangi (1805-1881 ) A letter to Tamihana Te Rauparaha written at Auckland Āperira 20 1863 20 April 1863 Ki a Tamihana, Tēnā koe. Kua tae mai tō pukapuka ki (a) au o te 6 me te tekau o Āperira. Kua mate a Mata Riwai. Ka nui tōku pōuri me tō Tauteka hoki ki tōna hoa. Ko te tū tonu tēnei o te tangata, he haereere noa iho i runga i te mata o te whenua me au nei hoki e tiakina nei e te mate, arā, e tōku mate. E Tami, mea ake ka mutu te mahi, te mahi a Waikato i muri i ēnā reta āku, kua tae atu nā i ngā rā o Āperira nei. Ka haere a Ngāti Tipa ki te tuku i te whenua hei tūnga mō te whare a te kāwana mō te whare anō i wāhia rā i Waikato i whakahokia iho nei ngā papa ki Te Ia. Ka tae a Ngāti Tipa ki roto o Waikato, a Wāta Kukutai, a Ruihana, e rima tekau o rātou. Ka rongo (a) Waikato, kātahi ka haere mai. Haere mai kotahi rau, kotahi rau pū, ka tīkina, ka wherohia. Ka mutu te tū waewae kātahi ka kōrero. Ka mutu te kōrero, kātahi (a) Waikato ka wāwāhi tērā hapū, tērā hapū ka wāhi mai ki a Ngāti Tipa. Kāore (a) Waikato i kaha ki a Ruihana rāua ko Wāta Kukutai. Oma ana Te Kanawa me Waikato katoa nō te mea kua hē. Engari ko te whare a te kāwana me te mokopuna a Te Whakaete ka tū ki te whenua o Wāta Kukutai e Tami. Kua hē te mahi a Waikato, kua pōrangi. Nō konei te pai o taku noho i tēnei kāinga hei kawe kōrero atu ki a koutou. Ko te taha kāwana i uru ki roto ki te mahi a Waikato ko Tamati Ngapora, ko Ihaka Takaanini, ko Aihepeeni, ko Mohi ko ngā mea tēnei, arā, ko ngā tāngata o te taha kāwana i uru ki te mahi a Waikato. Nā rātou te kōrero i wāhia ai taua whare. Ko (ō) rātou moni kua whakakorea e te kāwanatanga, engari kāore anō i whakawākia. Kia whakawākia ka kitea te teka, te hē ka hoki mai anō rātou ki tēnei taha ki te kāwana ka huri tēnei. Anō ngā iwi o runga te noho nei i Akarana, a Te Arawa, te mahi mai i te rawa mōna. Te ngangare nei rātou nei ko ngā Pākehā me te ngangare teina, me te ngangare tuakana. Ka nui te pai o te Pākehā o Akarana, kāore he whakahouhou ki te kumu o te tangata Māori e haere tahanga ana, arā, a Te Arawa. Ka nui te pai o te Māori, o te Pākehā ki a rātou nei. Tērā tētahi iwi pai kei te Kaipara, kei tērā tāone, ko tērā iwi tītora kāore e kai i te rama, he iwi hou, he iwi rangatira. Kāore he kōrero kino e puta i te waha, he iwi karakia, ka nui te aroha ki te Māori. Ko ngā taewa me ngā poaka, me ngā kau, me ngā mea katoa a te Māori, he tuku katoa atu mā taua iwi nei e mākete, ka rite, kātahi anō ka wehewehea ki tērā tangata, ki tērā tangata. He iwi pai rawa tēnei. Tēnei tētehi kōrero, he kiore hou kua tae mai ki a Ngāpuhi ka rua tau, ko te nunui me te ngeru nei anō te rahi (o) te waka i hoe mai ai he pungapunga. Ko tāna he kirikaraka ināianei kua kai ki te kūmara, ki te taewa. E Tami, e tika ana aku kōrero e tuhi atu nā ki a koutou. Mea ake ka kore he tākaro mā ngā Māori, arā, ka kore te kīngi, kāore tētehi e rongo ki tētehi, me tētehi ki tētehi. Heoti anō, Ka huri, hei konā rā i a Riwai Nā Mātene Te Whiwhi.
