Polynesian migration was one of the great achievements of human exploration. Over thousands of years, Austronesian-speaking peoples moved from Taiwan into Island Southeast Asia and out across the Pacific, reaching places such as Samoa, Tonga, Tahiti, Hawaiʻi, Rapa Nui and New Zealand. These journeys required exceptional seafaring knowledge, with navigators reading stars, winds, currents, birds and ocean swells to cross vast distances between tiny islands.
A farmer in rural Ireland noticed that one of his cows would cry for hours every time he left for the train station to pick up supplies.
Moved by her distress, he started taking her with him. To everyone’s surprise, the cow quickly learned the routine. She would calmly wait on the platform while he was away, then joyfully walk home beside him once his train returned.
The heartwarming story has captured the world’s attention, beautifully illustrating that cows are far more than livestock — they’re intelligent, emotional animals capable of forming deep bonds and meaningful routines with the people who care for them.

The statement on the 🇺🇸 & 🇮🇱 attacks on Iran by #NZ Govt is a disgrace. The Govt knows full well that international law has been breached even though negotiations were under way. It knows that 🇺🇸 walked away from the last nuclear agreement with Iran. Why the servility?
