You could spill vast rivers of blue Danube ink try to encapsulate the enduring brilliance of Vienna and all that it has lavished on the world. It’s the city that vaulted Mozart, Beethoven, Haydn, Strauss and his waltz into the world’s consciousness.

As spring began to bud and bloom in Munich, I embraced the season of renewal by joining Trafalgar on their riveting 10 day Imperial Europe guided coach tour, which strings together a necklace of enchanting destinations.

In a city awash with world-class hiking and biking trails, plus geothermal spectacles, it doesn’t take long to work up an appetite amid the sizzle of Rotorua.

No reasonable person wants The Arts Centre to fold. But it needs to secure a self-sustaining, efficient operating model. Its multi-million dollar funding demands on the ratepayer are unjustified and unreasonable. My opinion piece is in The Press today. https://t.co/xh9BgF8gNT

Robbing the police of a fair and decent pay deal is a political dead-end. The @NZPoliceAssn have already won the PR war. Up the offer. My opinion piece is in The Press today. https://t.co/IU8yoDoA1A
