This week in our weekly catchup with the National Party Wire host Castor discussed the impact and response to the Auckland Anniversary and Cyclone Gabrielle floods last year. The government is overhauling the current emergency management system, based on feedback from those affected most severely by flood damage.
They asked Katie Nimon about the new emergency management system, and about the government’s commitment to emissions reduction as extreme weather events become more common.
On this week's Green Desk we have part two of a special on The State of Wellington, recorded down in the capital inside Parliament’s cafe.
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. But are sunny days ahead for Wellington?
For Dear Science this week, our expert Professor Allan Blackman chatted with us about the Nobel prize winners.
In our weekly catchup with the National Party, Wire host Castor spoke to MP Katie Nimon about overhauling the emergency management system and the government’s climate targets.
They also spoke to Associate Professor at the University of Auckland, George Laking, one of the authors of Te Meu o Te Wai, a report looking into the outcomes of Cyclone Gabrielle and making recommendations to the government.
And they spoke to Dorothy Wilson from the Stickered Area Residents Group about how people on the ground are still responding to cyclone damage.
On the Green Desk this week we heard the second half of our reporter Jack Marshall’s chat with Spinoff Wellington editor Joel McManus about how things are going in the Big Apple of Aotearoa.
