Good to see that attendance is improving. Still a way to go to get it back to last decades levels but steps in the right direction. Everyone should be happy with this. I'm glad there is a focus on improving education and attendance. Its the best way forward IMO
Unlike you, there's links in my post.

Seems some big trees were removed from the exact spot of the slip several years ago because they were culturally inappropriate

Temporary Mauao closure needed to protect historically significant sites
Full Mauao closure for preservation works Weβre temporarily closing Mauao to remove eight large exotic trees on the Pilot Bay/Waikorire side of the maunga (mountain). Several trees fell during Cyclone Gabrielle and others are deteriorating, damaging the archaeological terraces near Te Ara...

A number of trees β which are visible from Te Ara TΕ«tanga - are showing significant signs of deterioration and, if left unattended, could further damage the culturally and historically significant site they are sitting on"
These facts about the tree removal seem to be conveniently left out.
The trees removed were also the Pilot Bay side, not above the slip.

Guess it will all come out in the review.
Itβs been a significant local issue where healthy trees are removed for cultural reasons. βDamageβ was a convenient excuse and most were healthy but exotic.
I actually donβt have an issue with returning it to a natural state. Itβs an Nz icon and should reflect NZ. But you would hope geo tech engineers were involved and decision were made based on science, not beatification.
I agree, I hope the council used those engineers when going through with the removal but as you said I am sure the review will show that.

Iβm guessing Ayeshaβs memory isnβt that good since she announced an extension to Wellington Hospitalβs ED before the 2023 Election and certainly before Nationals health cuts.This is a direct result of this government's swinging health cuts

Asking for savings to spend and efficiencies is a good thing if the overall health budget is growing.
But the health cuts haven't reduced the capacity of the Wellington ED... the person saying that is Ayesha who had already approved an extension to an under performing ED.How about the swingeing health cuts that have happened in the last two years Mike, as I mentioned.

It all depends on how you want to measure it... WHO says that NZ spent 10% of it's GDP on public health in 2022 yet National budgeted on 7.3% of the GDP in 2024.... when the economy was shrinking.
