YALLA!!!!!!!! DON’T DISAPPOINT YOUR IMA!!! Sunday is your last day to enrol to vote or to enrol your family, friends and community members. This is one of the most high-stakes election we’ve had in our lifetimes and the fact that late enrolment was removed by this government is totally egregious and seriously threatens our democracy. Everyone should be able to vote no matter the barrier.
That’s why this weekend is so important. Don’t just encourage everyone you know to enrol, join the parties this weekend and phone bank, door knock, flag wave, with one message in mind - ENROL! Look online at what your local candidates are doing and hit the ground running. Don’t get distracted. Stop doomscrolling and get to work!
And in case you’re wondering which parties to join this weekend - any of these will do.
New Zealand Labour Party
GREEN PARTY of Aotearoa NZ 💚

We are in October already! It’s time to get your whānau me ō hoa together around the table to feast. A sharing menu isn’t just a fad. Ours comes from a long cultural tradition of generosity from across the Middle East and Mediterranean. All our dishes are designed to complement each other - creamy hummus with tangy salads, smoky skewers with fragrant rice, dips and crunchy falafel paired with soft pita straight from the oven. Book now for a good times and also food that leaves you feeling good too!xx

We want to wish our whānau and community a big shana tova this Rosh Hashanah! While it’s important to celebrate we also want to recognise that times have been tough in Aotearoa and around the world. We are are entering the new year with a renewed fight for justice, shared liberation, a world where all our people and our environment can thrive and flourish. This pursuit is central to Judaism and to Jewish culture and we are proud of these values. It’s Manaakitanga, Kotahitanga and Kaitiakitanga! Shana tova u’metukah to all xx
