  Saving New Zealand’s Oldest Building | Auckland News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  Discover the thrilling restoration of Kemp House, New Zealand’s oldest building, dating back to 1821—where history meets hands-on preservation. Over 200 years old, this iconic structure, built by missionaries and Māori workers, is undergoing a full roof overhaul with thousands of shingles being replaced. Remarkably, the original wooden beams remain in excellent condition despite centuries of weather, with only minor borer damage being carefully repaired using historic methods. A local heritage firm is leading the project under a protective waterproof cover, battling rising material costs and hoping for sunny skies. Gifted to the nation in 1974, Kemp House stands as a rare international treasure—the earliest surviving building in Aotearoa—and symbolizes the vital early relationships between Māori and Europeans before the Treaty of Waitangi. With summer approaching, they’re urgently asking the public for donations to complete this vital restoration—every contribution helps safeguard a cornerstone of New Zealand’s identity.

  New Zealand’s Multi-Alignment Strategy | Auckland News

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  As global power dynamics shift, smaller nations like New Zealand are embracing “multi-alignment” to hedge against superpower dominance, forging deeper ties with Southeast Asian allies like Thailand and Vietnam. Beyond trade—Thailand aims to triple bilateral commerce with NZ by 2045—these partnerships span security, migration, and innovation, leveraging NZ’s strengths in agritech and geothermal tech. Amid rising regional instability, this “mass hedging” strategy builds resilient networks across culture, science, and sport, creating lasting soft power and a more stable, prosperous future for all.

  Aug 21, 20262 min

  Shakira Baker’s life is a whirlwind of chalkboards and scrums—teaching at Manurewa High while crushing it for the Warriors NRLW team, her students turning into fans after catching her in action.

Despite early injuries and the pressure of new stars like Waaka and Hufanga joining in ’26, Baker stays grounded, leading by example and mentoring rookies while keeping her heart healthy thanks to a past scare with Long QT syndrome. She’s not here to preach—but she’s living proof that passion, grit, and a little defibrillator backup can turn chaos into championship energy.
