When the book by historian Elizabeth Cox, Making Space: A History of New Zealand Women in Architecture was published, there were only nine women listed in the Wikipedia category for New Zealand women architects – a number quite at odds with the more than 500 women named in the book.

As Aotearoa New Zealand gears up for its second COVID inquiry, it’s crucial everyone watches this clip. Yes, it was tough having closed borders & strict lockdowns, but I’m not sure if people fully understand the scale of devastation we avoided by acting as we did. Listen to this doctor explain.
Prof Kevin Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

A sobering letter to the editor in today’s NZ Herald. #kikorangi #covid19
![Text reads:
[Headline] The sad score so far
We have now lost 6114 of our people to Covid. Last week's dead included a
10-year-old and men and women in their
30s, 40s and 50s. To put that into perspective, we lost just under 12,000 armed forces personnel in World War II.
Not interested in a bun fight over vaccination, just announcing New Zealand's score so far - because it looks like it might be a long game. Please all take good care of yourselves out there.

Is this the grimmest classified ad you've ever seen?
Advert from a woman living in 'slum street' in Wellington, in 1889.
