Break dawn on the B! Grab a coffee and tune in to a weekend debrief with Elle and Joel and some cracker tunes. Elle spends too much money on new records so have a wee listen to the new musical stylings from Louisa Nicklin, Fontaines D.C. and Hinds. We also had some live music from The Backseat Lovers live at the Troubadour and The Mockers from the live album 'Wellington Zone.'
Last week the eighteenth Koroneihana of the Māori King took place, attended by all the political parties - minus one. The ACT Party was notably absent from the celebrations.
For their weekly catch up Producer Evie asked ACT MP, Simon Court, why this was.
They also talked about David Seymours Ministry of Regulation, which has been making headlines in recent weeks as it was revealed the average salary of its employees was $150 thousand dollars. Given the government has cut, or set to cut, over 6,500 public sector jobs the revelation has sparked some outrage.
And finally, she asked Court about the ACT party’s views on the changes to the controversial Fast-track Approvals Bill, in which decision powers have been removed from ministers.
The International court of justice has found Israel guilty of implementing discriminatory racial segregation between Palestinians and Israelis in the Occupied Palestinian Territories. This year, Russia and Belarus were banned from the Olympics as a result of the ongoing war in Ukraine. Despite this International Court of Justice decision Israel didn’t receive the same consequence.
This sparked backlash and questions surrounding Israel's participation in future international sporting events.
Currently, FIFA is set to make a decision on whether Israel will be allowed to compete in international football by the end of this month.
Producer Evie spoke to Socio-Cultural Teaching Fellow in Physical Education, Sport and Exercise sciences at The University of Otago, Sebastian Potgieter about what he expects from this decision. As well as why Israel was allowed to compete in the Olympics - and why their participation in sporting events has such a big political impact.
New data has shows that Māori health providers have provided over 30,000 vaccinations up to June 30th for serious illness such as polio, meningococcal B, tetanus and diphtheria, for both adults and children, significantly surpassing the government’s original intended goal of 10,000.
For our weekly catch up, News and Editorial Director, and Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Te Pāti Māori’s Mariameno Kapa-Kingi about this increase, and why this is so significant.
They also spoke to Mariameno about comments Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon said at the recent koroneihana, where he claimed Māori ceded sovereignty to the Crown, which has faced some backlash.
Finally, they discussed the recent Understanding Police Delivery report, which highlights that Māori are disproportionately more likely to be persecuted and targeted by police.
For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party, Producer Evie speaks to Simon Court about the ACT Party's absence from the Māori King’s Koroneihana, questions about the ministry of regulation and changes to the the Fast Track Approvals Bill
For our weekly catch up with Te Pāti Māori, News and Editorial Director and Wire Host, Joel, speaks to Mariameno Kapa-Kingi about the increase in Māori vaccination rates, comments PM Christopher Luxon had at Koroneihana at Tūrangawaewae, report into Māori being disproportionately targeted by police.
Joel also spoke to Criminology Lecturer at the University of Auckland, and spokesperson for People Against Prisons Aotearoa, Emmy Rākete (Ngāpuhi) about the recently released Understanding Police Delivery report, which shows that Māori are disproportionately more likely to be persecuted by police.
Evie speaks to Socio-Cultural Teaching Fellow in Physical Education, Sport and Exercise sciences at The University of Otago, Sebastian Potgieter about Israel’s place in international sporting competitions.
And finally, Joel speaks to Associate Professor in the Faculty of Science, and geologist, Phil Shane, about a new vent being discovered at Whakaari / White Island, which has resulted in various flights being delayed, and what this means for the volcano.
The findings of the Understanding Policy Delivery report have recently been released, which has shown that the NZ Police found “bias” and “structural racism,” targeting Māori individuals.
The report says that Māori are ELEVEN percent more likely to be persecuted compared to Pākeha, despite the same variables, and Māori are disproportionately more likely to be stopped and tasered by officers.
News and Editorial Director, and Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Criminology Lecturer and the University of Auckland, and spokesperson for People Against Prison Aotearoa, Emmy Rākete (Ngāpuhi), about these findings, and what can be done to mitigate these statistics.
