Features

  • House of the rising sum by Pamela Stirling
    A booming housing market has also seen the explosion of property investment advice and seminars, most promising great returns and sustainable wealth – for a fee. But what of the risks? What might turn those dreams of capital gain into nightmares?

  • Upfront Jane Kelsey by Peter Calder
    Peter Calder talks to Jane Kelsey about being the poster girl for "anti-globalisation" and what that really means.

  • The art of being Gore by Sally Blundell
    When you think of the art capitals of New Zealand, you don’t necessarily think of Southland, but that’s a mistake. With the recent arrival of a significant series of works by Ralph Hotere – to add to its already substantial collection of regional art – Gore is staking its claim as a must-see destination.

  • Back to Balibo Back to Balibo by Jill Jolliffe
    The families of five newsmen, including New Zealander Gary Cunningham, killed in Indonesia’s invasion of East Timor, return to the scene of the crime.

  • First to the breakdown by Felicity Monk
    Rugby is a numbers game, and our unlikeliest game statistician just loves to crunch them.

  • Guns in their sites by Alistair Bone
    Will a campaign to control the global small arms trade – and reduce the human carnage it causes – get the support it needs?

  • Down by the river by Bruce Ansley
    The wildly ambitious and hugely disputed Project Aqua has stalled, but feelings are running as high as the costs of building Meridian Energy’s giant canal. Will people power defeat the power company, and is the fight even worth it?
