John Key’s resignation means big changes for the whole of New Zealand as we wait to find out who will be our new Prime Minister, and who will lead National into the next election. But we can’t forget how John Key’s been elected into parliament for the last 14 years - the people of Helensville. Key has said he’ll continue as Helensville's MP so as to not trigger a by-election. But he won't be contesting the seat next year.
John Key’s been called the ‘everyman and nowhere man’ of the electorate, which is centered around the town of Helensville northwest of Auckland. But he’s always been popular, winning about 60-75% of the vote over the last 3 elections. So what’s going to happen to the contest for Helensville, now that it’s no longer a cut-and-dry Key victory?

Sriwhana Spong is an artist seemingly at home on the road, so it was a great privilege that she pulled into the studio while in Aotearoa, and talked at length on artbank. This podcast file skips the intro, so, here is a quick one now… Sriwhana Spong spans disciplines as she weaves her interest in film, memory, ballet, mythology, her Balinese and New Zealand roots, language and the sublime. The paintings, films, banners and choreography that leap out from this mix can often be zingy and humourous, but are also slow-burning, cutting, heartfelt and considered investigations. It is the kind of work which one wants to know the stories that have fueled their creation. In this interview Spong discusses recent stints in Pittsburgh and Rotterdam, her work in the Headlands Sculpture on the Gulf, and her current show at Michael Lett Gallery.
