How a BOP rūnanga changed the health game
After 25 years of mahi setting up and maintaining Te Moana a Toi, the Māori health rūnanga representing Māori at the table of the Bay of Plenty District Health Board, his shift has ended. All of those factors have had an impact on the toiora (wellbeing) of Māori physically, mentally and spiritually, Ngaropo says. Although, back in 1997, it wasn’t getting Pākehā leaders on board for Te Moana a Toi that was the struggle in Bay of Plenty, it was iwi. Throughout their wānanga at marae, it became clear that the healthcare Māori had been receiving was culturally unsafe, Ngaropo says. However, Ngaropo is concerned that those who are taking over the representation in his rohe won’t be as effective as Te Moana a Toi in representing iwi.

Sharemarket down 17.5%, faces 'challenging' outlook
New Zealand’s benchmark share index is down 17.5% so far this year, and the second half is expected to remain “challenging” as the impact of high inflation and rising interest rates filter through the economy. READ MORE:* Sharemarket rebounds, starting February on a positive note after a 'rough' January* Sharemarket drops 1.1% as higher inflation seen pushing up interest rates* Sharemarket drops as investors fret over outlook for higher interest ratesLister noted the declines followed sharp gains in asset values over the past two years on the back of ultra low interest rates and money-printing programmes. “Every asset class in the world went up dramatically, and now we’re just really giving back some of that as interest rates go back up again,” he said. The Reserve Bank started raising interest rates from a record low 0.25% in October last year. “I’m actually not feeling too downbeat on the local market,” Lister said.

New Zealand Media Reaction To All Blacks Routing Ireland In First Test
There seems to be a sense of relief in New Zealand following the All Blacks' 42-19 victory over Ireland on Saturday. The eight months since had been filled with a fear the All Blacks could be in a spiralling decline. "The balance was tipped in Ireland's favour and they were good enough to take advantage and make it count – seemingly exposing endless flaws in an All Blacks team who everyone said were frail, unimaginative and pedestrian." Advertisement"The three-test series game of chess is such that Ireland will now be second-guessing where to defend the All Blacks ball carriers," he says. Mark Hinton, also writing for Stuff.co.nz, felt the All Blacks turned the physicality tables on Ireland.
