The largest hikoi protest to Waitangi Grounds in modern history took place this Waitangi, with thousands gathering to voice their concerns about the new government’s proposed policies, including a referendum on the principles of Te Tiriti, ending co-governance, and removing Te Reo from the names of public services.
News and Editorial Director, Jessica Hopkins, spoke to Action Station Director Kassie Hartendorp (Ngāti Raukawa), about this significant show of solidarity and her reflections of the day.
She also spoke to rofessional Teaching Fellow at the University of Auckland Law School, Eru Kapa-Kingi (Te Aupōuri, Ngāpuhi, Waikato-Tainui, and Te Whānau-ā-Apanui), about his impression of what went down and how members of government were received.
Blind Mango Chutney plays some classics, and a preview of Calexico ahead of their gig in Auckland on 11 Feb, plus an interview with Kiwi entrepreneur and philanthropist Michael Watt who co-owns Ronnie Scott’s in London. Michael (83) name drops galore with local music promoter and friend of the Jazz Show Nathan Graves to highlight some of his colourful past that led to using a “lazy couple of million” to “clean up a shit hole” 20 years ago and turn Ronnie Scott’s around to preserve the famed jazz venue.
Join Michael Watt (ONZM) as Nathan Graves takes him through a retrospective of his colourful life. From home-grown tales in New Zealand, to Ronnie Scott's in London, to Broadway - there's enough tales to fill two lifetimes here.
