On April 2nd, the coalition government released an action plan discussing their goals for the next quarter. In the plan was a list of thirty six policies, some vague and some specific, addressing issues across various sectors. You can find the full document here.
In our weekly catchup with the National party's James Meager, Wire host Castor asks about several of these policies, and how they could develop in the coming quarter. These policies were number 4 discussing transport, number 17 on the Holidays Act, number 19 on the repeal of the ban on oil and gas exploration, and number 36 on the repeal of section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act.
Schools began implementing the compulsory Aotearoa New Zealand Histories Curriculum at the beginning of 2023.
By focusing on four key ideas – Māori history as the foundational history of New Zealand, colonisation, the use of power, and relationships and connections between people – the curriculum intends to teach students from Years 1-10 to understand the big ideas, know the contexts, and do inquiry practises.
Last week, the Education Review Office released a report on how the curriculum’s first year has been received.
Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Kaiārahi for the New Zealand History Teachers Association, Craig Thornhill, about some of the commentary from parliament that has emerged, and how the implementation of Aotearoa New Zealand Histories has been received by students and teachers so far.
Last year, the coalition government signalled its intention to repeal the Therapeutic Products Act 2023.
Due to come into force in 2026, the Act would have modernised the regulation of medicines and natural health products, making medical devices subject to a similar regulatory regime as drugs.
Producer Sofia Roger Williams spoke to Professor of Toxicology at the University of Canterbury, Ian Shaw, about what the Act would have provided and the significance of the repeal in terms of New Zealanders safety.
For Dear Science this week, Professor Allan Blackman chatted with us about medically implanted batteries, this morning’s solar eclipse, and the explosion of a star.
