In 1769, James Cook stole a sacred object belonging to the Maori community of Te Aitanga-a-Hauiti in New Zealand. Now, this sacred object is being publicly displayed in Germany with much self-praise. A decision on its return is still a long way off.

A scandal! Yes, indeed!

Especially when we compare it to the hysterical reports about the theft of jewels from the Louvre in France.

Colonial loot must be returned immediately!

Finally decided to sell my Philippa Blair painting (in an art auction)
I bought it from the artist in the 1980's and have enjoyed it over the years. But now is the time to divest one of the last works in my collection.
A chance to buy one of NZ's leading abstract expressionist artists at a modest price
