Now I'm not a surveyologist, but this has a loaded-question kinda vibe to me. Is it just me?
A screen from a Kantar survey with a sliding scale from "Return to a 'one law for all' approach where all New Zealanders are treated the same" across 10 notches to "Embrace co-governance where Māori have special rights and decision-making powers based on the Treaty of Waitangi" (The slider is on 6, but that's not where I left it to answer the question.)

There's worse places to be on one's 30th wedding anniversary. And certainly worse people to spend it with.
A sandy beach with small waves breaking. A blue sky with some fluffy cumulonimbus clouds. Small islands are scattered in the distance.

This country is so ridiculously pretty sometimes!
Looking out over Coromndel Harbour from Te Kouma. The sky is blue with some wispy clouds, the sea is blue and sparkly, the hills are light and dark greens in patches of grass and bush. There are boats floating at anchor.

40,000 years of domestication. This little dingus is about as wild as a boysenberry trumpet.

It'd be a sign of Bad Taste if you had...
Obscure director Peter Jackson plays a role in his own first movie. In this scene, he is really getting into how a fellow actor thinks. With a spoon. The movie is Bad Taste, PJ is eating brains out of an alien zombie's head.

You'd never know the venue was literally up to the ceiling in floodwater last Sunday. The people that run it are miracle workers!
If you're getting hitched or similar in the Waikato, Pirongia Pines go the extra mile - and eleven metres of water.
The bar and dance floor at Pirongia Pines. Not even damp now!

To be fair - that's the 18% mince from Aussie compared to the 5% mince from NZ. Still dearer here though

I've said it before: the Nat faithful would vote for a Moeraki boulder if it was wearing a blue tie.
A Moeraki boulder. A large, probably 6 foot diameter, sphere of rock, one of a number to be found o the beach at Moeraki in NZ's South Island. This one is wearing a (patently fake) blue tie and has a smiling young tourist leaning on it.

Still getting looks
Boston, a small white(ish) dog has been tapping my leg and pointing out his shameful lack of walkies. He cares not for rain, nor wind, nor freezing my tits off; his walks take priority over my mere discomfort.

Its the minor details that bite you in the arse
Someone straining a pot of stock through a sieve propped over a sink. This way they will save all the boiled up lumpy bits as the stock drains away down the plughole...

He curlt ..... he sprawlt
Boston is a small white dog. He is neatly curled up in his snuggly dog bed. Milo is s small black & white dog. He is curled up in his snuggly dog bed in a manner that suggests he just fell to his death from a tall building.

The "maybes". They don't seem cooker-aligned, their pamphlets seem sensible. I don't know anything much about any history of actual councilling.
