Aiming to to vanquish boredom and defy the dreariness of whatdayisitalogical hooha take a journey into this week’s choicest cuts of olfactory splendour.
His Worship is catching up with Rachel this week covering what post-lockdown might look like for Tāmaki Makaurau, the need for some rain, and some projects the council are proposing.
A familiar face from many Auckland bands, Leith towers, spoke to us this morning about a weird and wonderful new project 'Impossible Nightstand' and what it's been like making music in isolation.
Sam joins Rachel and Tess to talk about the doco-series that everyone's had on the tip of their tongues, Tiger King (2020). An absolutely bonkers story that follows Joe Exotic and unravels right in front of your eyes. You can't miss this one, need we say more?
In August 2017, the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA) granted Trans-Tasman Resources (TTR) a consent to carry out iron ore extraction from the sand beds in the Exclusive Economic Zone off the South Taranaki coast. Iwi and environmental groups successfully appealed the granting of consent in the High Court, however the matter was appealed to the Court of Appeal. On Friday the Court released its judgment, coming to the same conclusion as the High Court but on completely different reasoning.
First, Bronnie speaks to Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, the chief executive of Te Rūnanga o Ngāti Ruanui who have been part of a long battle of court cases and protests against the mining activity. She began by telling us how she was feeling having reached the end of what has been a very long journey.
The Court of Appeal also heard from many other groups representing environmental and fishing interests. In the latter half of this clip, Bronnie interviews the chief executive of Forest & Bird, Kevin Hague, about why they also opposed the granting of the consent from an environmental perspective.
