Kirk’s death comes shortly after other stories of political violence in the United States.

The government has recently announced the specifics of the ‘shakeup’ of Auckland Transport.
This follows the plan, which was first announced in December last year, to introduce new legislation that would strip Auckland Transport of a lot of the entity’s power.
The changes will result in Auckland Council overseeing major decisions regarding transport, that will be split between the major, 20 councillors, and local boards.
As well as this, a new Auckland Regional Transport committee will be established, that will include councillors, government appointee’s, and an independent chair, to work on a 30-year transportation plan.
The bill is set to have its first reading next month, and is expected to pass into law by March next year.
For City Counselling this week, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about this topic.

Mātauranga Māori is empowered as a central focus of a new decision-making framework for geothermal engineering projects developed by recent PhD graduate, Dr. Nona Taute.
The tool bridges the technical considerations of engineers with iwi perspectives and priorities.
Taute’s framework mediates perspectives by combining cultural, social, environmental, and economic sustainability indicators to measure and communicate the mauri (the life force and viability) of geothermal engineering initiatives in Aotearoa.
Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Dr. Nona Taute of Te Ārawa and Tainui, about his work.
