Buy a
bottle of wine, and help the Sanctuary this Christmas
You
can now drink to the success of Wellington’s world-first
Karori Wildlife Sanctuary whilst helping to raise funds for
their new Visitor & Education Centre.
The Sanctuary has
joined forces with Hawke’s Bay winemakers Matariki Wines
to release ‘Karori Reserve’, which it hopes will raise
much-needed funds for the new centre. On offer are a 2003
Cabernet Merlot and a 2004 Sauvignon Blanc, both drinking
perfectly for Christmas.
“The Sanctuary has been a
major factor in bringing native birds back to Wellington.
This is the only city in New Zealand to have seen an
increase in native birdlife, so what better way to celebrate
this achievement and help us on the next step of our
500-year journey?” said Sanctuary chief executive Nancy
McIntosh-Ward.
The wine can be pre-ordered via the
Sanctuary website www.sanctuary.org.nz or by calling 04 920

New CTU analysis of the National & ACT coalition agreement has shown the cost of returning interest deductibility to landlords is an extra $900M on top of National’s original proposal. This is because it is going to be implemented earlier and faster, including retrospective rebates from April 2023. More
“The new Government’s plan to expand oil and gas exploration is as dangerous as it is unscientific. Whatever you think about the new government, there is simply no mandate to trash the climate. We need to come together to stop them,” says James Shaw. More
MFAT's decision to remove te reo from correspondence before new Ministers are sworn in risks undermining the important progress the public sector has made in honouring te Tiriti. "We are very disappointed in what is a backward decision - it simply seems to be a Ministry bowing to the racist rhetoric we heard on the election campaign trail," says Marcia Puru. More
