Description: Interviews with a number of people who spent their childhood in this rural district north west of Auckland City during the 1910s and 1920s. The area was long used as a portage by Maori between the Kaipara and Waitemata harbours. Pakeha initially settled during the mid to late 1800s and, after forest and gum clearance, the area was slowly developed into dairy farms. In 1915 nearly 5000 acres of scrubland at Kumeu North (renamed Huapai) were subdivided as orchards, mixed farms and weekend homes. There was an influx of new residents (including weekend only residents) following this. Huapai School opened in 1919.

Description: 23 cartoons on political and social subjects published in the Otago Daily Times. Europeans clean-up after the Americans' bloody their hands with oil deals Rural NZ angry following power price increases. Michael Cullen and Winston Peters play the sweet tune of "superannuation" leading the public to their demise. Swiss Government permit their army to carry guns when peacekeeping for the first time. Room for only one dairy industry trader in NZ's global outreach. A choice must be made between the NZ Dairy Group and Kiwi William Hague loses the British election to Tony Blair. Michael Cullen reassures the public the political parties can reach a concensus over superannuation. Public confidence is low over Air NZ's ability to make good management decisions following their purchase of Ansett. Winston Peters climbs back into the picture of superannuation ready to kick it around as a political football. The Labour Party woo Winston Peters over their new super scheme. Air NZ's purchase of Ansett seen as the white elephant that will end up grounding the Air NZ fleet. Publicans question the significance of second hand smoke in bars compared with second hand beer. Public cynicism of Michael Cullen's proposed Superannuation scheme. Laila Harre places the issue of paid parental leave at the Prime Minister's doorstep demanding it be dealt with now. The Public Health system is reeling from ongoing restructuring and unable to deal their basic functions. Public opinion that the lowering of the drinking age leads to a lack of sober youth to fight for the country. A new ever demanding creature has been given birth by the government - venture capital. Michael Cullen hails the budget as 'prosperity in our time'. Michael Cullen disparagingly hopes that the Prime Minister is not playing fast and loose with the country's money. Airline accidents impact on New Zealanders. Local council members seek for youth to be represented on council. Could this be Jim Anderton's next big idea, the people's airforce with armed troops flying hang gliders?
