OPINION Well, we've got a new idea from Wellington Central MP Tamatha Paul and you better brace yourself for this one. She was in the paper over the weekend - not advocating for Wellingtonians, for our economy, our businesses or our vulnerable people. She's advocating for something else entirely. She wants to strip prominent statues around Wellington of their heritage status. She wants these statues bowled. She wants to strip Wellington of its history. Now I can tell you Tamtha's got her sights firmly on the William Wakefield monument at the Basin Reserve. You know the one; the white Greek dome on the bank. She also wants to get rid of the bronze bust of Edward Wakefield on Mount Victoria. She also doesn't like the Queen Victoria statue between Cambridge and Kent Terrace. These three people are, according to our local MP, “thieving criminal colonisers". This is the most ridiculous thing I have heard coming out of Tamatha Paul's mouth, and remember, she's the Green MP who wants to defund the police. Imagine what's going to come out of Tamatha Paul's mouth next. I can guarantee you it'll be nothing about Wellington's struggles. Remember she's not your average Green MP who is elected on the party list. She is Wellington Central's local MP, elected by the people of the city. Why is our local MP focused on something like this? Now looking at what she wants to do here, it'll be a difficult feat for Tamatha to pull off. She'd have to pass an amendment to the Resource Management Act the same way Chris Bishop removed the heritage status from the Gordon Wilson flats, paving the way for the building's demolition. She'd have to persuade a majority of her fellow MPs to vote for her amendment, something that is not likely to happen. But that aside, why is she even talking about this? I wonder how she would feel if we talked about pulling down the statues of some of the more controversial Maori leaders? Questionable history isn't limited to just colonial leaders. I think we can all appreciate that times were different in the 1800s. The conduct of some people we have statues of are far from acceptable. But it's our history. Should we just forget about it? Should we actively destroy it? At a time when we're trying to rebuild Wellington and our economy, should our local MP be looking at doing something so destructive as to pull down parts of our history? I personally love the statue of Queen Victoria on Cambridge and Kent Terraces, and I want the opportunity for us to have a piece of history that we can celebrate. And remember these memorials were created by previous generations of Wellingtonians. I can't even believe that we are talking about something so important to our history as the capital city. I think Tamatha Paul is way off the mark here, and it would be a slight on our history to get rid of things we should be celebrating. We need as a city more of our history to celebrate rather than denigrate. And I say to our local MP, sit down, maybe meet with some Wellington leaders, people in businesses or our charities. Get an idea from them about the real issues. I can guarantee you none of them care about a few statues. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Perdue au milieu de l'océan Pacifique, l'île de Pâques, aussi appelée Rapa Nui, est aujourd'hui assaillie par le plastique : des résidus de bidons, des bouées, des cordes, des bouchons en plastique, mais surtout des millions de microparticules de plastique fragmentées par le brassage en mer. Situé en plein dans le gyre du Pacifique Sud, un puissant courant tourbillonnant, ce petit territoire chilien voit s'échouer sur ses côtes 500 déchets par heure. Ils viennent du continent, mais aussi des bateaux qui pêchent en grandes quantités dans la zone. Également connue pour ses moai, Rapa Nui accueille chaque année des milliers de touristes qui génèrent eux aussi des tonnes de déchets. «À l'île de Pâques, des statues mythiques aux tourbillons de déchets plastiques», un Grand reportage de Naila Derroisné.

We start the book of Daniel. A book full of meaningful insights into what it means to think of the mind of God... or some confusing bullshit that made people feel smart by buying a scroll instead of giving a hungry guy some food. Oh yeah, just the fact they bought the scroll that the bible is based on pisses me off now. This is how militant atheism starts!The writers of Daniel pretended to foretell the future. And Christians today pretend they were talking about people they weren't. That's it! Website - https://www.biblestoriesforatheists.comYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@bibleatheists

APRIL 2025 NEW CAR REGISTRATION FIGURESAs expected, the new car registration figures for April 2025, were down following the jump in March prior to the tax changes. The Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders (SMMT) explained how there was a ten percent drop, year-on-year. However, BEV and PHEV registrations rose, but are not near the levels needed to comply with the ZEV mandate. Once again the SMMT called on the Government to assist the industry and buyers.

This fiery segment exposes a week of radical shifts—from NYC replacing a Jefferson statue with symbolic art, to a foiled bomb plot by a Trump-deported pedophile, to the Biden-backed Gaza pier sparking outrage. Plus, a deep dive into how U.S. visas are allegedly being used to bring Hamas-aligned activists onto college campuses. The host connects global chaos, media silence, and government complicity in a battle for America's future.
Across two explosive broadcasts, the host lays out a sweeping narrative of cultural erasure, unchecked immigration, and growing radical influence. From the removal of Thomas Jefferson's statue to a foiled terror plot in Brazil, to U.S. college campuses allegedly harboring Hamas sympathizers via student visas, these segments argue that America is under assault—culturally, politically, and ideologically—from within.

Visiting churches might not sound like everyone's idea of a great time. Yet the buildings are stuffed with strange carvings, peculiar graffiti, interesting artwork, and even sassy memorials. These church curiosities tell us a lot about what mattered to people in centuries past. They also preserve folklore, legends, and the beliefs of the congregation. From apotropaic marks scratched onto fonts, to stone guardians on the outer walls, churches are a fascinating repository of folk practices...if you know where to look. That's precisely what we're going to do here, looking at gargoyles, grotesques, graffiti, carvings, and even door knockers. Let's figure out what they have to do with folklore, and what they tell us about our forebears in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
