Peter Lineham talks about the Christian ceremonies followed during the tangi for Kīngi Tūheitia, and the appointment of the new monarch, Kuini Nga wai hono i te po.
Geneva AM joins Matthew Crawley on 95bFM Drive to kōrero about an upcoming fundraiser for Ritimana Kōhanga Reo called Waiata Mai – happening at The Tuning Fork on Rāmere/Friday 20th September. Te Puna Reo o Ritimana is a Reo Māori immersion school here in Tāmaki Makaurau.
On the 13th of August, Māori King, Kīngi Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, who had reigned as Māori King since 2006, passed away, being laid to rest on the summit of Taupiri Maunga.
Various political party members from across the political spectrum attended the tangihanga of Kīngi Tūheitia, alongside thousands of others attendees at Tūrangawaewae marae in Ngāruawahia.
For their weekly catch up, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to Te Pāti Māori’s Mariameno Kapa-Kingi about Kīngi Tūheitia’s passing, and the legacy he has left.
They also touched on Kaipara Mayor, Craig Jepson, denying a request for a minute’s silence at a meeting for Kīngi Tūheitia’s passing.
Finally, they spoke to her about the crowning of Kuīni Ngā Wai hono i te pō as the new Māori monarch; the youngest daughter of Kīngi Tūheitia, at the tangi.
To add to the contention surrounding David Seymour's revitalisation of charter schools, new documents have revealed that the bill may go against international labour obligations and fair trade agreements.
A select committee report revealed a late addition to the charter schools bill, blocking staff at the schools from joining Multi-Employer Collective Agreements, which enable employees to be tied to unions.
This sparked controversy, with opposition MPs concerned about the omission of this information from the select committee and the public.
For their weekly catch up, Producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about why staff should be prohibited from these collectives, and why the information was withheld from the public.
She also asked him about new concerns surrounding Nicole McKee and firearms reform, in which McKee used her power as a Government minister to reduce regulation for gun clubs — without any public consultation.
And finally they talked about the ACT party’s views on 43 out of 45 councils voting to hold a referendum on their Maori wards, rather than disestablishing them.
Last Thursday, following a six day tangihanga to honour the passing of Kīngi Tūheitia, a new Māori monarch was selected.
That monarch is his youngest child and only daughter, Kuini Nga wai pono i te po. Kuini Nga wai is 27 years old making her the second-youngest Māori monarch to be appointed, and only the second female monarch of the Kiingitanga.
Kuini Nga wai’s ascension to the throne signals a new era and forward movement for the Kiingitanga.
Producer Evie spoke to University of Auckland kaiārahi, Waikato descendant, and whānau of the Kiingitanga, Tui Kaumoana-Steedman about how Kuini Nga wai was selected for the role.
They also discussed how she may take the Kiingitanga in a new direction, what issues she’ll be aiming to highlight, and how her rule may have an effect on Aotearoa as a whole.
A new study into how New Zealand seafood product manufacturers display claims such as ‘dolphin friendly,’ ‘sustainably fished,’ and ‘responsibly caught,’ on their products has lead to concerns that these companies may be ‘greenwashing,’ as the claims are too ambiguous, being contradictory, and going against international best practice and the New Zealand Commerce Guidance.
The study suggests that such claims are hard to verify, and may mislead consumers.
News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to Senior Research Fellow in Epidemiology and Biostatistics at the University of Auckland, Kathryn Bradbury, about the study, and what needs to change to adequately inform consumers of the products they are purchasing.
Dementia is expected to double in the next 20 years in Aotearoa, but for Pasifika and Māori, it’s expected to triple.
New research shows the risk of developing dementia is 60% higher for people living in the most deprived areas of NZ compared to those in the least deprived areas.
Because of the disproportionate representation of Māori and Pasifika in lower socio-economic groups, the risk of those developing dementia also sits at a disproportionately high level.
Senior lecturer in the Department of Psychological Medicine at the University of Auckland, Etuini Ma’u led the public health expert briefing that took a deep dive into the research.
Producer Evie spoke to Ma’u about the factors of poverty that lead to this increased dementia risk, and how these can be combated on both an individual and wider structural level.
Morning! This week on breaking dawn wake up with your rather sleepy host. We start a bit slower with some ambient/electronic tunes thanks to Rival Consoles and You'll Never Get to Heaven. Getting closer to the 7am mark, we have a cover of '...baby one more time,' some Lou Reed and a live version of 'Every Time the Sun Comes Up.'
