The rise and recovery of downtown Auckland

The spirit of Auckland’s city centre is evolving as it emerges from the challenges of Covid-19 to continue along the path of the biggest redevelopment in its history. Alice Webb-Liddall met some of the key figures who’ve helped to build that spirit and made the city centre the destination it is today. If you’d visited Auckland’s waterfront on the day of the final America’s Cup race this year, it would be hard to imagine a time we weren’t allowed to leave our homes.

After an underwhelming budget for rainbow communities, it's time for a new ministry

After an underwhelming budget for rainbow communities, it’s time for a new ministry Opinion Auckland Pride director Max Tweedie look at what what was in Thursday’s budget for Aotearoa rainbow communities, and suggests how the government could supercharge its support. Last week’s was once again disappointing for Aotearoa’s Rainbow Communities, with minimal funding to address significant disparities that our communities experience. While we’ve had our eyes on significant legislative changes, it’s now time for the government to take a holistic approach to our wellbeing, and establish a Rainbow Ministry. Let’s start with what was funded. The New Zealand Aids Foundation’s funding wasn’t confirmed in this budget (it’s “not yet known”), but it’s likely to stay the same as it has for more than 10 years, at just $4.23m. While the government has signed on to support the Foundation’s goal to end new HIV transmissions by 2025, and HIV transmission numbers are on the decline, there’s a significant opportunity to achieve this goal with increased understanding of public health concepts and new tools to both prevent new HIV transmissions and support people living with HIV.
