Hey hey, it's Parliament Open Day!
Wellington may be the Coolest Little Capital in the World, but it wouldn’t be the capital without Parliament. The Beehive has uncool net curtains. Being a building from the ’70s, this is probably not surprising. But this is one thing you can discover when Parliament has its annual open day this Sunday, 7 November. A […]
