Over the weekend, 20,000 people protested along Queens Street against the government’s Fast Track Approvals Bill and other legislation that they have deemed ‘a war on nature’.
Joel spoke to Greenpeace Aotearoa Programme Director, Niamh O’Flynn, about the protests, and what the organisation are hoping for in the future.
A collective of over 20 organisations have joined to deliver an open letter and petition to Parliament on the 26th of June, urging the Government to get rid of the Ram Raid Bill.
These groups are advocating for an alternative approach to tackling youth offending rates, by ensuring all political parties in Parliament work together, using grounded evidence and being informed by lived experiences to reduce these statistics.
I spoke to the Director of Kick Back, a youth development and advocacy organisation and a member of the collective, Aaron Hendry, about this petition.
We carry on with our chapter book, The Wild Robot, and we chat with Esther about Te Puawānanga, MOTAT's new Science and Technology centre.

New Zealand music month was in May but Kirk still had the bug, which he got out of his system by playing a bunch of his NZ favourites (& all time favourites). Lots of older stuff, with a few new bits in there too.
