Happy new year to you all, we are looking forward to a great year supporting and celebrating all that the Kāpiti arts scene has to offer as we work towards our district gallery redevelopment being launched midyear. The scaffolding has just come down from the new building’s northern side revealing the beautiful sculptural façade.
 
We are very happy to have curator Vicki Robson and Business Development Manager Sandra Smillie join our team as we work towards the re-opening. Meantime please visit our temporary gallery MAHARA iti further around Mahara Place, two doors down from old Main Road. We continue to run terrific exhibitions and promote local artists in our lovely space here.
 
We have an exciting events programme coming up: Live Art @ MAHARA, a series of free workshops and performances in Mahara Place from 31 January to 28 April for all ages and interests, supported by a Waikanae Community Board’s Promotions Fund grant. Many thanks to Fiona Gunther-Firth for developing this, plus a film fundraiser event in Paekakariki on March 19.
All you need to do is turn up and be inspired, moved, excited and delighted by all the talent that Kāpiti abounds in. Check out the details below.
 
Ngā mihi, Director, Janet Bayly

from the Free Speech Union: another shocking attempt at censorship

28 Saturday Jan 2023

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

A community group based in Northland is planning a tour around the country to discuss a hot-button political issue. The group, called “Stop Co-Governance”, contacted Sport Northland, a publically-funded venue organisation in Whangarei, to use their facilities. Last Thursday, their request to use facilities was denied by Sport Northland’s “Spaces & Places” Manager. 

The manager cited their recently adjusted trust deed that now recognises Te Tiriti and adopts a co-governance board structure, saying “due to these factors and after viewing your website and the information you sent, we have unfortunately have [sic] made the decision to decline your facility booking. I hope this is understandable.”

No, it is not understandable. Their blatant disregard for a foundational right of all Kiwis to express themselves openly, even on controversial political questions, is not ‘understandable.’ 

While a private organisation, Sport Northland receives significant public funding from both local and central government and operates facilities for public benefit. As such, it must accept the duties placed on it by NZBORA, including non-discrimination and the right to free speech for those that use its facilities.

We are preparing legal action against Sport Northland and have also contacted the Human Rights Commission about this case. We were founded 5 years ago when a public venue denied access to speakers because of their ideas. Again, in 2021, we stood for Speak Up for Women and their right to use a public library. With your help, we can see free speech win the day again. 

In that case, the High Court found the cancellation decision was not a rational and reasonable limitation on rights and ordered that the event proceed. The similarities to this case are striking and we are confident the Courts will rule similarly.

We have a track record of defending the rights of all Kiwis to have their say. There are many opinions on co-governance and we’re not taking a stand on that. We simply know that our country can’t move forward if we’re not all able to speak honestly in public.

So – interesting fact. Our new deputy PM’s mother was convicted of benefit fraud and got home d. Our finance ministers father was jailed on fraud charges and Kiri Allan’s brother is in jail for murder. Does any other country have a clown show like this? https://t.co/HW5i8oa8jW

Pfizer executive admits they are engineering viruses

27 Friday Jan 2023

Posted by Waikanae watchers in Uncategorized

≈ Leave a comment

from Steve Kirsch

Finally, an honest Pfizer executive admits to Project Veritas what the game plan is…

Watch the entire video. It’s worth it. Everyone should.

I’ll post an updated link after YouTube censors this one. It is a violation of YouTube’s terms of service to post any video that makes Pfizer look bad, so I’m sure it will be removed. Mainstream media will never cover this: they will keep their mouths shut and say nothing. Expect complete silence.

Ukraine is currently staring annihilation in the face

27 Friday Jan 2023

NATO’s proxy war so far against Russia has turned Ukraine into a giant meat grinder, but the warmongering Biden administration and NATO are fine with that. It’s good business for the armaments manufacturers.
