I was in the University debating team in 1977 (and was at that final). I remember going to the prison to compete. We were defeated by the oppressive atmosphere of the place before we even started speaking!

The scenic route too I think. But at the moment there are roadworks,again,on Seaclffe so Lake road possibly the better option for a month or two.
I used to do quite a bit of building work around your neck of the woods and even milked cows as a young lad down near

We went for a bit of a drive to Paremoremo and ended up in Coatesville for lunch.
Parker next to a classic 1920s Studebaker so I figured I’d take a pic of the new EV next to the old car …

Deport him, to serve some time in Paremoremo. I'm sure the local chapter of the Mongrel Mob will give him a warm reception.
Can somebody please kick that Kiwi, clad-in-black blowhard, in his tiny nuts so that he might stop spouting vile, hateful shit? The sooky man-baby needs to be brought down a peg or two.

Doubling Paremoremo's prison size through being fast-tracked will lead to further human rights violations of incarcerated people and will intensify the pollution of the local environment. The alternative is decarceration and justice reinvestment. newsroom.co.nz/2026/07/23/t...

Bonus to my story: Gabe also worked with Don McGlashan, who mentored him when Don was in his 20s and Gabe was at Paremoremo high security prison. Stayed in touch over the years, even visited Don at home when he was out to get some help with his songs.

Corrections NZ has no instant plans to expand Auckland Prison at Paremoremo, but being on #FastTrack Approvals Bill will let it increase maximum number of prisoners from its current 681 to 1200. Will it double-bunk more inmates with risk of rape or murder? #nzpol

Out on the hoarding run today, getting to know a new corner of East Coast Bays
With the boundary changes, Paremoremo's now part of our patch so I went for a look and to say hello to the locals. Beautiful spot, bit of rural quiet just minutes from the bays.
