Hamilton, Waikato — A powerful and heartfelt step toward reconciliation and cultural understanding was achieved at a multi-community hui held at Trust Waikato meeting rooms this week, bringing together leaders from Māori, Indian, and wider South Asian communities.

The hui was organised by the Indian Cultural Society Waikato Inc., led by its President and Director of Events, Jujhar Singh Randhawa JP, following constructive engagement aimed at turning recent challenges into an opportunity for dialogue, learning, and unity.

The evening opened with a warm welcome, shared kai, and traditional Indian chai, creating an atmosphere of openness and genuine connection. This was followed by meaningful kōrero and formal proceedings grounded in respect and shared purpose.

Dr Sarkaw Randhawa, speaking on behalf of the Indian Cultural Society Waikato, delivered a deeply moving opening address, including te reo Māori. Emphasising unity and collective strength, she reminded attendees:

“E waka eke noa – we are all in this together… my strength is not that of an individual, but that of the collective.”

She spoke candidly about the recent incident that had caused hurt within the community, while
encouraging understanding and dialogue:
“Let’s acknowledge the hurt caused and use it as a reminder of how important it is to understand and respect each other’s cultures.”

Dr Randhawa highlighted the shared values between Māori and South Asian communities — including respect for elders, strong family systems, and cultural traditions — and reinforced the importance of working together:
“There’s no place for standing against each other. We’re stronger together.”

Jujhar Singh Randhawa JP welcomed attendees and thanked all community leaders for coming together in the spirit of goodwill and partnership, emphasising the importance of turning dialogue into long-term collaboration.

Che Wilson addressed the hui on behalf of his team, acknowledging the importance of the moment and reinforcing a commitment to open engagement and mutual respect. His message aligned with earlier discussions recognising that constructive dialogue can transform difficult moments into opportunities for stronger community relationships

In a powerful gesture of reconciliation and unity, Che Wilson and his team presented a pounamu
(greenstone) named Te Aroha to the South Asian and Indian community, received on their behalf by Jujhar Singh Randhawa JP. In Māori tradition, this represents a tatau pounamu — a symbolic doorway to lasting peace and connection, grounded in aroha and mutual respect.

Community leaders expressed their appreciation for the initiative, acknowledging the openness, humility, and leadership demonstrated by all involved. Particular recognition was given to Che Wilson and his team for engaging with sincerity and taking meaningful steps forward.

The hui reflects a shared commitment to ensuring that differences are addressed through respectful kōrero, and that communities continue to build stronger relationships through understanding and collaboration.

The evening concluded with a strong sense of optimism and a shared vision for the future — one where cultures are celebrated, differences are respected, and communities stand united.

One of the most common questions people ask when choosing a home builder is: “What’s your cost per square metre?”

On the surface, it seems like a straightforward question, but according to Daniel Davies of Davies Homes, cost per metre is oversimplified and misleading.

“Builders don’t price homes by square metre. Every build is made up of hundreds of individual components - excavation, foundations, rooflines, structure, finishes, labour, subcontractors, all of which vary from project to project. Reducing that to a single rate per square metre strips out the detail that determines the cost and value”, he says.

Here are the main reasons why cost per square metre can’t be relied on as an accurate way to compare builds.

Site conditions can dramatically affect pricing, with sloping sections, retaining walls, drainage, and engineered foundations all impacting cost. 

Design complexity also plays a major role, as homes with multiple rooflines, high ceilings, or large areas of glazing are far more expensive to build.

Material selections and finishes can significantly shift the budget depending on the level of specification throughout the home.

Subdivision covenants can also significantly affect price. Sustainable, future-focused developments may require features like solar panels, rainwater detention tanks, and EV charging infrastructure. These additions increase upfront build costs, but help reduce long-term running costs and future proof the home. 

Another key factor not reflected in cost per square metre is the quality of the tradespeople. Lower-cost builds may rely on the cheapest available contractors, where the focus is simply on meeting minimum compliance standards. While this can reduce upfront costs, it can increase the likelihood of issues emerging over time, often resulting in additional repair or maintenance costs.

Smaller homes tend to have a higher cost per square metre because expensive spaces make up a much larger proportion of the build. Kitchens and bathrooms don’t scale with house size in the same way other rooms do, and that’s what drives differences in cost per square metre.

Building a home is not a commodity purchase. It’s a complex process shaped by design decisions, site conditions, material choices, and the people delivering the work. It should be about value, not simply cost per square metre.

Rather than focusing on a single number, homeowners should look more closely at the quality of materials and finishes, the builder’s experience and reputation, the strength of the design, and the level of detail and transparency in what is actually included in the quote. The experience and quality of the subcontractors involved, from plumbing and electrical through to painting and tiling, also play a significant role in the finished result.

One of the best ways to understand the difference is to physically walk through homes across different price brackets. Visiting completed homes and showhomes gives you a far clearer understanding of what influences pricing than any square metre rate ever can.

In developments such as Bridleways Cambridge, for example, buyers can see firsthand which factors contribute to the finished result, and why two homes of a similar size can feel completely different in quality and value.

Finance: The NZ dollar eased over the week and remains a very weak currency. Brent Crude has risen and is currently $109.28/barrel, but ranges over the day continuing to vary up to $US10 in a 24 hr period.

Wool: The wool prices continue to firm with the growing optimism in the coarse wool market.

Beef, Sheep & Venison schedules: The meat schedules have lifted for the coming week. Yard prices are strong with autumn born calves achieving very good prices and this will flow on to the beef prices as rearing costs are still high.

Dairy Prices. The 2025/26 production has been above expectations on many farms following a “kind” summer and autumn. The excess rain in April was an issue making crops hard to harvest and new grass difficult to establish. The payout estimates remain strong.



Jim’s Weekly Rant:

There have been some significant changes on the political landscape of both Australia and the UK over the last few weeks with the traditional parties out of favour with the voters. In the council election in the UK Labour lost some 1400 seats to Nigel Farages Reform Party and in Wales the Labour rulers were dumped and in Scotland the Scottish Nationalist also defeated the Labour Party. In Australia a By-Election in the district of Farrer electing the first One Nation MP into the lower house in the parliament. One analyst reported that 65% of the combined votes from the UK council election and the two recent Australian elections went to parties that opposed the current immigration and Net Zero policies and that is then added to the last USA presidential elections that were also about controlling immigration and dumping Net Zero. It might be a bit of useless analysis and information but if we look at the situation here in NZ both immigration and Net Zero are being blamed for some of the major costs our government is incurring. Immigration is necessary to maintain a growing population and workforce, but the infrastructure development and housing has struggled to keep up with the increasing levels of immigration in recent years and the ideological dream of Net Zero has cost the country billions of dollars by underpinning the carbon credits and the closing down of the oil and gas industry and the refinery. Net Zero has also been responsible for the increased planting of pine plantations and the harvest of timber where the slash has damaged infrastructure and farmland and been responsible for the removal of nearly 1,000,000 stock units per annum from productive farmland. Both the UK and Australia are still around 2½ years off their general elections where major changes are likely to happen but their unpopular prime ministers continue run unpopular governments. The elections in the USA, Australia and the UK have shown a preference for the unorthodox, and often untried politicians being another strong indicator that the voters have had enough of the existing parties, and as Trump calls it “The Swamp”!! Our parliament is currently going through the Bill to disestablish the Ministry for the Environment, but sadly not removing it all together. The rolls within the ministry will be maintained through a secretary for the environment and the tasks will be devolved to a new ministry being the Ministry of Cities, Regions and Transport (MCERT) and is the combined with the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development, Ministry of Transport and the local government function of the Department of Internal Affairs. Perhaps it is a step in the right direction to allow a wider view on environmental matters but doesn’t dump the Net Zero fiasco. The coalition government in NZ must take note of the voters wishes being expressed in the UK and Australia about better managed immigration outcomes and better managed affordable energy systems.

Doing scary things can be good for you because facing fear helps build confidence, resilience, and a stronger sense of self-belief. Whether it’s bungy jumping or another challenge outside your comfort zone, pushing through fear in a safe and supportive environment can remind you just how capable you really are.

At AJ Hackett Bungy New Zealand, Zamira sees this transformation happen every day. Alongside studying psychology, she helps people work through fear, take the leap, and walk away feeling proud of what they achieved.

From nervous first-timers to unforgettable stories of people conquering fears they never thought possible, the experience is often about much more than adrenaline.

Auckland, New Zealand – Kiwi Web Design has published a new 2026 guide comparing the top SEO agencies in Auckland, with the agency ranked first for Auckland small businesses seeking practical SEO, local visibility, and lead generation support.

The guide, titled Top 5 SEO Agencies in Auckland for 2026, reviews several Auckland SEO providers and examines how different agencies may suit different types of businesses. Kiwi Web Design is positioned as the top choice for small businesses that need SEO connected directly to website performance, Google Business Profile optimisation, local search visibility, and enquiry generation.

Unlike traditional SEO approaches that focus mainly on rankings and traffic, Kiwi Web Design’s approach is built around business outcomes. The agency helps Auckland small businesses improve how they appear in local search, strengthen their website structure, and turn more visitors into calls, quote requests, bookings, and sales conversations.

“Many small businesses do not just need more website traffic,” said Charlie, owner of Kiwi Web Design. “They need the right local customers finding them at the right time, and they need a website that can convert that attention into real enquiries.”

The guide highlights several factors Auckland businesses should consider when choosing an SEO agency, including local SEO capability, Google Business Profile experience, website structure, transparent reporting, and readiness for AI-driven search.

As search behaviour changes, Kiwi Web Design says businesses must think beyond traditional rankings. Customers are now using Google Maps, Google AI Overviews, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other tools to compare providers and make decisions. This means businesses need clear service pages, consistent information, strong local trust signals, helpful content, and websites that are easy for both search engines and customers to understand.

Kiwi Web Design’s SEO services are designed for small businesses that want practical, commercially focused support without unnecessary complexity. The agency works with Auckland businesses across local services, trades, professional services, beauty, home improvement, and other small business sectors.

Its SEO work can include Google Business Profile optimisation, local SEO strategy, service page improvements, technical SEO, content updates, internal linking, review strategy, and reporting focused on visibility and enquiries.

The newly published guide also compares other SEO agencies in Auckland, including Pure SEO, Found, SEORANK, and Digigo, noting that each agency may suit different business needs depending on size, budget, goals, and required level of support.

Kiwi Web Design says the purpose of the guide is to help Auckland business owners choose an SEO partner based on fit, not just reputation or price.

“For a small business, the best SEO agency is not always the biggest agency,” Charlie said. “It is the one that understands your market, your website, your local visibility problem, and how SEO connects to revenue.”

GP and Me opens a landmark new clinic in Mt Eden — redefining what an independent general practice can look and feel like.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When a developer's demolition notice arrived at Three Kings Family Medical Centre, co-owners Dr Connie Juhn and Phillip Thein faced a choice: find a new address, or build something the New Zealand healthcare sector has never seen before. They chose the latter.

The result is GP and Me — a boldly reimagined independent general practice that has just opened its doors at 281 Dominion Road in Mt Eden, housed in a heritage BNZ building opposite the Eden Quarter shopping precinct. It is, by any measure, unlike any GP clinic in the country.

"We believed patients and healthcare teams deserved something better and more creative. This space allows us to deliver care that truly reflects that — with more time, better facilities, and a deeper connection with our patients."

— Dr Connie Juhn, Co-owner and Specialist GP

A Space Designed to Change How Care Feels

The fit-out is a deliberate architectural statement. Every detail — from the materials and light to the layout of consultation rooms and shared spaces — has been considered with one question in mind: does this make people feel welcome, safe and valued?

Spread across three levels, the clinic offers seven consultation rooms, a dedicated procedure room, a nursing station overlooking three observation bays with beds, and a large boardroom. The former bank vault has been repurposed as a storage room, and a rooftop space is planned to give the clinical team a place to decompress and recharge at the end of each day — a rare and considered gesture toward staff wellbeing.

The upper floor features up to eight rooms available for allied health professionals to sublet, enabling a more integrated, multidisciplinary approach to patient care. A 13-space car park on Bellwood Avenue connects via lift directly to street-level reception on Dominion Road.

This is not a clinic that looks like a clinic. It is a space designed to inspire the people who work in it and put at ease the people who walk through its doors.

"We are building something future-focused — a space that sustains independent general practice while embracing thoughtful innovation, without losing the values that make this kind of care so meaningful."

— Phillip Thein, Co-owner

100% Human. 0% Corporate.

GP and Me operates under a philosophy that is both simple and provocative in the current climate of New Zealand primary care: healthcare should feel warm, not clinical. Collaborative, not transactional. Built on trust, not throughput.

The practice is a deliberate pushback against the corporatisation of general practice — a trend Dr Juhn describes as one of the most damaging shifts in the sector in recent years. While the team embraces tools that genuinely serve the patient relationship — such as the AI medical scribe Heidi, which reduces administrative burden and gives clinicians more time for human connection — they draw a firm line at anything that replaces that connection. There will be no AI answering the phones.

The enrolled patient model remains central to their approach, prioritising continuity of care. The expanded facility allows the practice to grow from its current population of around 3,500 to a maximum of 12,000 patients, with capacity for up to six full-time-equivalent GPs and nurse practitioners.

Care That Meets People Where They Are

GP and Me is built for people who have felt unseen, rushed, or misunderstood within traditional healthcare settings — including women and those seeking women's health, LGBTQ+ communities, neurodivergent individuals, and anyone for whom a GP appointment has historically felt more intimidating than supportive.

The clinic's inclusive, affirming approach is embedded not just in its philosophy but in the physical experience of the space itself — from the way reception is designed to feel welcoming rather than transactional, to the deliberate absence of the institutional aesthetic that makes so many patients feel like a number rather than a person.

About GP and Me

GP and Me is an independent general practice at 281 Dominion Road, Mt Eden, Auckland. Founded by specialist GP Dr Connie Juhn and co-owner Phillip Thein, the practice is committed to delivering patient-centred care that is warm, inclusive and deeply human. GP and Me prioritises continuity of care, clinical excellence, and the wellbeing of both patients and the clinical team.

GP and Me is now open and welcoming both existing and new patients. Enrolments and appointments can be made at gpandme.co.nz.

As temperatures drop across the Waikato, many households and businesses start to notice their power bills climbing. Heating is usually the biggest driver of winter energy use, which raises a common question: can a heat pump actually help reduce costs?

The short answer is yes, but only when the system is correctly sized, installed, and maintained.

How heat pumps use less energy

Heat pumps do not generate heat in the same way traditional electric heaters do. Instead, they transfer heat from the outside air into your home or building. This process uses significantly less electricity compared to resistance heating methods such as bar heaters or plug-in electric heaters.

Because of this efficiency, heat pumps can deliver multiple units of heat for every unit of electricity used, making them one of the most cost-effective heating options available in New Zealand.

Why performance matters

Not all savings are guaranteed. A poorly installed or underperforming system can work harder than necessary, which reduces efficiency and increases running costs.

Key factors that affect performance include:

• Correct system sizing for the space
• Proper installation and airflow design
• Regular filter cleaning and servicing
• Ensuring the outdoor unit is unobstructed

Even small issues, such as dirty filters or restricted airflow, can have a noticeable impact on energy use over winter.

The role of maintenance in reducing costs

Autumn is one of the best times to service a heat pump before peak winter demand. A professional check helps ensure the system is running efficiently, identifying issues early and preventing unnecessary energy waste.

Well-maintained systems typically:

• Heat spaces faster
• Run for shorter cycles
• Maintain more consistent indoor temperatures
• Use less electricity overall

Heat pumps vs traditional heating

Compared to standard electric heaters, heat pumps are generally far more efficient. Over time, this difference can lead to meaningful savings, particularly in homes or businesses that require consistent heating throughout the day.

They also provide an added benefit by offering cooling in summer, meaning one system can serve year-round comfort needs.

Getting the most from your system

To maximise savings this winter, it is important to use your heat pump correctly. This includes setting a stable temperature rather than frequently adjusting it, and avoiding extreme temperature settings that force the system to work harder.

Final thought

A heat pump can absolutely reduce winter power bills, but the real value comes from choosing the right system and keeping it well maintained.

JSR Refrigeration and Air Conditioning helps homes and businesses across Hamilton and the wider Waikato region improve heating efficiency, reduce energy costs, and stay comfortable through winter.

Gold has surged in the past 18 months, climbing from around US$2,600 an ounce in early 2025 to close to US$4,750 by April 2026. But for many of the world’s biggest financial institutions, the real story is not just the price rise. It is the growing belief that gold deserves a permanent place in a diversified portfolio.

A recent report highlighted by State Street makes the case that gold should no longer be viewed simply as a crisis asset or a short-term trade. Instead, it argues gold can play an ongoing role in helping investors manage risk, protect wealth and strengthen long-term portfolio outcomes.

Gold’s role is becoming more strategic

State Street’s research centres on three core benefits of gold: diversification, capital appreciation and wealth preservation. One of the most important findings is that gold has historically shown very low correlation with both shares and bonds over long periods. In practical terms, that means it has often behaved differently when traditional assets come under pressure.

The firm also modelled portfolios with different levels of gold exposure and found that adding gold improved returns while reducing risk over a 20-year period. Portfolios with gold allocations of up to 10% delivered stronger annual returns and smaller drawdowns than those with no gold at all.

“Gold is no longer just something investors turn to in a crisis. More of the world’s biggest institutions now see it as a strategic, long-term holding that can sit alongside shares and bonds in a diversified portfolio.” Says Tony Coleman, managing Director of New Zealand Gold Merchants.

Central banks continue to support demand

A major reason for this shift is strong central bank buying. Official sector demand has remained well above historical averages, as countries continue to diversify reserves and reduce reliance on the US dollar. That buying has created an important layer of support under the gold price and strengthened the long-term investment case.

Gold also remains highly relevant in periods of inflation and currency weakness. Data sourced from State Street shows gold has historically performed well when inflation is elevated, while also tending to move inversely to the US dollar. For investors focused on preserving purchasing power, those characteristics remain especially important.

Why liquidity still matters

Another point often overlooked is liquidity. Gold is one of the most actively traded asset classes in the world, with deep global markets that can remain functional even during periods of financial stress. That matters because investors value assets they can access when other parts of the market become more difficult to navigate.

Of course, gold is not a replacement for growth assets. It does not generate income, and its price can still be volatile over shorter timeframes. But the message from major global firms is increasingly clear: gold’s role in a portfolio is becoming more strategic, not less.

It’s also worth noting; January’s sell-off in precious metals appears to have been driven more by market structure than deteriorating fundamentals, as higher COMEX margins increased the cost and risk of holding contracts.

What the major banks are forecasting

That longer-term view is also reflected in forecasts from some of the biggest names on Wall Street. Goldman Sachs has a year-end target of US$5,400, while Wells Fargo sees US$6,100 to US$6,300. J.P. Morgan is even more bullish, projecting gold could reach US$6,300 by the end of 2026.

While forecasts will always move with the market, the broader point is that the underlying drivers remain firmly in place.

“The forecasts themselves may change, but the fundamentals behind them are hard to ignore. Central bank buying, diversification demand, inflation concerns and ongoing geopolitical uncertainty are all helping reinforce gold’s long-term appeal.” Says Coleman.

Motorised blinds are becoming an increasingly popular choice in NZ homes thanks to their ease of use, improved energy performance, and clean modern design. While they do come with a higher upfront cost compared to traditional blinds, many homeowners find the long-term convenience, safety benefits, and added comfort make them a worthwhile upgrade.

Quick considerations:

• Choose based on window accessibility: Motorised options are especially useful for tall, wide, or hard-to-reach windows
• Think about smart home compatibility: Check if the system can connect with apps, voice control, or home automation setups
• Consider your light and heat control needs: Useful for managing sun exposure and maintaining a comfortable indoor temperature
• Decide between power options: Battery-operated systems are easier to install, while hardwired systems offer a more permanent solution
• Balance cost with long-term value: Higher initial investment can be offset by convenience, durability, and everyday usability

Motorised blinds work best when matched to the right home layout and lifestyle needs, helping you get the most value from both comfort and functionality.

A dental check-up is an important part of maintaining good oral health. It helps your dentist identify early signs of issues and prevent more serious problems from developing.

During your visit, your dentist will examine your teeth, gums, and bite, and may take X-rays if required. They will also look for signs of decay, gum disease, or wear, and provide personalised advice to support your oral health.

Keep your smile healthy by:

• Brushing and flossing daily
• Attending regular dental visits
• Noticing and reporting any pain or sensitivity
• Following your dentist’s recommended care routine

Regular check-ups play a key role in protecting your teeth and gums for the long term.
