A Waitara community board member and crash survivor says it makes no sense to reinstate a 100kmh speed limit on a stretch of State Highway 3 in Taranaki. Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has more.

The Principal of Waitara High School in Taranaki has changed his mind about the ban on phones in school. Initially the school would allow their year 13s to have their phones with them as they transition into adulthood. But that's changed.

Waitara is a town more associated with rugby league luminaries such as Howie Tamati and Tony Kemp than with elite rowing, but the Clifton Rowing Club is celebrating its best-ever performance at the national championships. Taranaki rowers secured four gold and two bronze medals at Lake Karapiro to finish fourth overall. Our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin visited Clifton to see what makes it tick.

If you have capable hands and a budding interest in trains, the Waitara Railway Preservation Society needs you. The society's secretary and treasurer Derek Baker speaks to Jesse.

Robin Martin is in Taranaki, where a series of proposed cycleways are causing an uproar in New Plymouth. The initial plans would involve removing around 900 on-street carparks, which nearby businesses believe would decimate customer numbers. Also, a series of cooking classes being run by a Waitara food bank after it realised many clients did not know how to use the fresh vegetables provided for them in parcels.

The contest for the New Plymouth electorate is shaping up as a two-horse race between Labour incumbent Glen Bennett and newcomer for National David MacLeod. National held the seat - which stretches from Waitara in the north to Opunake in the southwest - for more than a decade prior to 2020 and will be aiming to flip it from red back to blue in October. Our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has been out talking to voters.

For more than 150 years, five carved panels that once formed the back wall of a pātaka, slept in a small swamp just north of Waitara. The carvings, which uri of Taranaki now call the Motunui Epa, emerged from their long sleep in 1971 setting off an extraordinary chain of events that would take them around the world and back again. In this talk, Dr Rachel Buchanan will discuss how unearthing the government records has changed the way she works as a historian, taking her much closer to the power of the underground and the sovereignty that exists, undiminished beneath our feet.  This work resulted in her book Te Motunui Epa (BWB Books, 2022). This talk was recorded on 15 May 2023 at the National Library of New Zealand Te Puna Mātauranga o Aotearoa.  Dr Rachel Buchanan (Taranaki, Te Ātiawa) is the author of three books that explore Taranaki histories, including the invasion of Parihaka. Her new book, Te Motunui Epa (BWB Books, 2022), was shortlisted for the 2023 Ockham New Zealand Book Awards in the illustrated non-fiction category. Along with Hana Buchanan and Debbie Broughton, Rachel is also member of Te Aro Pā poets. A former journalist, Rachel has also documented the collapse of newspapers in the history-memoir, Stop Press: the last days of newspapers.

The government's heavy-hitters hit full campaign mode today when they visited Taranaki. Both the Prime Minister Chris Hipkins and his deputy Carmel Sepuloni played on their family histories as they hit the streets of Waitara and visited the local high school. Our Taranaki Whanganui reporter Robin Martin tagged along.

Te Pāti Māori co-leader says if police are going to adopt a gun first response then they need to be more transparent about the reasons for such a use of force. A Critical Incident Investigation by Police has found officers were justified in shooting Taranaki man Kaoss Price in April 2022. The unarmed 22-year-old died on State Highway 3 between New Plymouth and Waitara. He had rammed a police car and attempted to steal cars from passers-by. Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke to Corin Dann.

For the first time in its history, the New Plymouth District Council will today hold its monthly meeting at a marae. The mayor Neil Holdom and 14 councillors and will gather at Owae Marae in Waitara. Māori Ward councillor Te Waka McLeod, who instigated the move, says it will be the first time some of her colleagues have stepped foot on a marae. McLeod spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Reflective journal entries using GPT-4 and Obsidian that demand less willpower., published by Solenoid Entity on April 15, 2023 on LessWrong. Something I've wanted to do for years, but can't make myself do consistently because I'm bad at forming new habits and seem to have a limited reservoir of willpower that is generally depleted by the end of the day: Write a short journal entry at the end of every day, summarizing the day and reflecting on it. Put this in Obsidian, and identify key concepts and make them back-links. Enjoy as, over several years of consistent writing, the map of my life unfolds through the graph in Obsidian. Maybe this generates helpful insights, shows me patterns. Mostly it's just useful as a resource. It's a lot of effort to be detailed and reflective, and it's a lot of effort to add the back-links. The solution: Rather than having to create a detailed, reflective entry from whole cloth, I can just write some short, abbreviated, incoherent mumbled paragraph, like a surly teenager at family dinner, and then ask ChatGPT to ask more questions to flesh out the story. This works shockingly well. It's surprisingly easy to write detailed answers to specific QUESTIONS about your day. It's like a good listener, it can draw you out with its insightful questions. Then you can ask it to mark all the key words, names, etc, with double square brackets. The end result isn't perfect but it's pretty good, and much, much better than I would ever do all by myself. It takes less than half the time and virtually no willpower. Here's what I prompted ChatGPT today (That diary entry is roughly the level of writing I'm capable of at the end of the day.) Ask me 10 questions about the following diary entry, aiming to 'flesh it out' with extra details. If there are inconsistencies or missing information/context, you can ask for clarification or further information. Your aim is to ask questions that help make this a more complete and coherent account of the day. Some of the questions should relate to the theme of 'gratitude', and help provide more context and identify things to be grateful about in the text. Here's the text:Woke up early for no reason, lay in bed for 20 minutes thinking, then got up, said goodbye to Xena, headed off at around 7am for the train up to Waitara. Ended up missing the stupid thing because I was waiting on the wrong platform like an idiot. Still got to coffee in time with Adele, which was a relief since I've been an unreliable friend recently. Good coffee with her, turns out the guy who owns the cafe knows her as a regular and she doesn't even have to order, he just brings her french toast as soon as he sees her sit down. Anyway we talked about her new startup, then I left and caught up with my friend who's building a paperclip-optimising machine, which sounds stressful for him tbh, but his new girlfriend is nice, they seem like a good match. Got the late train over to Emu Plains and finally got to see my parents. Hopefully cook something nice with Mum tomorrow before she goes to line-dancing club. Response: My continuation: 1. She's my friend from a long time ago, but she's been super busy with her job as a warrior princess and doesn't have much time for friends. I was there the night before to have dinner and drinks because she finally got a week off work, ended up having more drinks than planned. Her couch was not very comfortable which is probably why I woke up early. 2. Really annoyed with myself, it was such an avoidable mistake. Honestly, it was pretty positive because I was only 10 minutes late, and Adele was running late anyway. I was able to find a good alternative train route using the app, so it worked out ok. 3. We try to have a phone call every couple of weeks, but it's hard because her life is so unpredictable what with the record d...

The New Plymouth District Council has today voted to extend a freedom camping ban to Corbett Park, which is next to Oakura Pa. The council also extended the ban to two areas at Tongaporutu in North Taranaki and limited the freedom camping to six carparks at Battiscombe Terrace in Waitara. This is welcome news to members of the Nga Mahanga a Tairi Hapū, as Corbett Park is right next to Oakura Pa. The hapu says having freedom camping so close to the pa was distressing, and monitoring of the existing bylaw was totally inadequate. Jacqui King is a member of Ngā Māhanga a Tairi.

Luke McAlister Rugby Player Charles Luke McAlister (born 28 August 1983 in Waitara) is a New Zealand rugby union footballer. He plays first five-eighth (fly-half) and second five-eighth (inside centre). He is the brother of New Zealand women's sevens player Kayla McAlister and son of Charlie McAlister. Luke McAlister was born in Waitara, New Zealand, and attended Westlake Boys High School, where he played first five-eighth. He played for Silverdale in the North Harbour premier competition before making his provincial debut for North Harbour in 2002 and Super Rugby debut for the Blues in 2004. He made his international debut for New Zealand aged 21, versus the British and Irish Lions in 2005. In June 2006, his father, Charlie, resigned his position as head coach of the Manawatu team in the Air New Zealand Cup. Charlie McAlister is a former rugby league player, and Luke McAlister lived in the Manchester area from the age of four to 13 while his father played rugby league for Oldham, Castleford and the Sheffield Eagles, during which time Luke was a member of the Manchester United Academy. Following the announcement of his inclusion in the All Blacks squad for the 2007 Rugby World Cup, it was announced on 23 July 2007 that McAlister would be joining Guinness Premiership side Sale Sharks after the World Cup on a two-year deal. It was also reported that he had turned down offers from both Munster and Toulouse to join Sale. McAlister played in four of the All Blacks' five matches at the 2007 Rugby World Cup, including the 20–18 quarter-final loss to France, in which he was controversially sent to the sin bin for an obstruction. France converted the resulting penalty, and the sin-binning was cited by many New Zealand fans as one of the reasons why their team lost the match. Over the course of the tournament, McAlister accumulated a total of 17 points. In 2009 after two seasons with Sale in the Guinness Premiership, McAlister returned to New Zealand, where he re-signed with North Harbour and the Blues, with the intention of regaining his place in the national side. He appeared for the All Blacks as a substitute for Stephen Donald against France in Wellington on 20 June 2009. From August 2011, McAlister plays for Stade Toulousain in France's Top 14 championship. On his first season with Toulouse, he won the Bouclier de Brennus, in which he played a crucial role in it, marking all of his team's points during both semi-final and final.   The Classic All Blacks is a rugby union team made up of players from the New Zealand men's rugby team. It is not an official national team of New Zealand. First put together in 2007, the team has played Japan three times, English Premiership side Leicester Tigers and 'classic' teams from France and Australia. In 2013 the side played Fiji as part of the Fiji Rugby Union's centennial anniversary. On 7 October 2015, the Classic All Blacks played Toulon at the Stade Mayol in a match to honour the late Jerry Collins. This interview was done on 7th October 2015 after breakfast, on match day, which was a very emotional time for the players who played with Jerry Collins in the past.

A lifelong friend of the man shot and killed by police in Waitara this week says he doesn't bear a grudge against the officers involved in the death of Alan Rowe - who he simply knew as Snow. Instead, Stacey O'Carroll blames himself for losing contact with a mate - who he considered a brother - and not being there when his friend needed him most. He spoke to RNZ Taranaki reporter Robin Martin who began by asking him what kind of guy Alan was.

Another bad poll result damages Simon Bridges ahead of todays vote on the National Party leadership, and A lifelong friend of the man shot and killed by police in Waitara this week says he doesn't bear a grudge against the officers involved.

A man shot and killed in Waitara on Tuesday was still in the driver's seat of a stationary vehicle when he was fatally wounded. Police say he was attempting to get out of the stolen car and had a cut-down .22 rifle aimed at its officers. But they cannot say how many shots its officers fired or if the man used his weapon on police. RNZ Taranaki-Whanganui reporter Robin Martin has more.

Police shoot man dead near Waitara; Survey finds only tiny fraction of sexual assaults reported; Government contact tracing app launched; How do the people feel about Simon Bridges?; Simon Bridges responds to poor polling.

The police are still on the scene where they shot a man dead yesterday, north of New Plymouth near Waitara. Initial reports say the man was shot after first pointing his gun towards officers. The police have declined to speak to Morning Report. RNZ reporter Robin Martin speaks to Susie Ferguson from the scene.

In 1860 the shots fired sparked decades - arguably generations - of conflict. RNZ's Tim Watkin looks at what sparked the conflict and his ancestors' arrival in the midst of these tensions.

Taranaki's Waitara coastline is coming under intense scrutiny over the next few months, as the focus of a new Citizen Science project. It's part of a government initiative called A Nation of Curious Minds. Back in 2001 Tom Hunt organised a survey of the coastline - the new results will be compared to his findings to establish how the coastline's changing. It's an important site for local iwi who're working closely with the project leaders. Schools, DoC, the local regional council and recreational groups are also getting involved. Lynn Freeman spoke to project leader Vicky Dombroski from Waitara Alive who says there's growing interest in conservation of the coastline.
