This week on The Green Desk we have a special episode on the state of Wellington, recorded inside Parliament’s cafe with the Spinoff Wellington Editor Joel MacManus. He talks about infrastructure, cycleways and tunnels.
If you’ve read the news in the past month, the capital is being buffeted by gnarly headwinds. Not off the Cook Straight but rather from pesky employees working from home. Journalists talking to retail operators and cafe owners have painted a bleak picture of the city. But are sunny days ahead for Wellington?
Our catchup with the National party is back on this week with our usual MP Katie Nimon. Wire host Castor started off by asking about Te Ahu o te Reo Māori, a program supporting teachers and teaching staff to integrate tikanga and te reo Māori into their classrooms. The funding for the program was recently cut, with education minister Erica Stanford pointing to poor mathematics outcomes as a justification for funding reallocation.
They also asked about the Fast Track Approvals bill, now that the list of 149 projects is out for consideration. The types of projects on the list range widely, from the expected housing, energy, and infrastructure developments to the less expected Eden Park and prison upgrades.
For Dear Science this week, our expert Doctor Cushla McGoverin chatted with us about pterosaur evolution, 2 billion-year-old rocks with living microbes, and an mRNA vaccine for Clostridioides difficile.
