This episode of bLine looks at youth unemployment in Aotearoa. While unemployment is seen by everyone, its scale and effects are difficult to comprehend on a societal level. Additionally, we know unemployment has risen in Aotearoa before, including around the global financial crisis and during the COVID 19 lockdowns. We can see the struggles that people around us are facing - how can we use these experiences to make change to prevent unemployment from rising further?
In this week's episode of bLine we spoke to Principal Analyst at Stats NZ, Alexandra Ferguson, and Kick Back founder Aaron Hendry. The next episode will be in two weeks, where we’ll talk about alcohol related harm in Aotearoa.
Jujulipps and Artists for Others' Daylen and Tami join Sof in the studio to chat about their upcoming Artists for Congo event happening across Double Whammy, Public Bar, and 235 Karangahape Road on Friday, October 24th.

For our weekly catchup with the National Party, Wire Host Sara spoke to MP Carl Bates about the government’s Electricity Plan, the Defence Industry strategy and the Freedom Flotilla activists
Sara also attended a press conference yesterday on the NewZealand activists detained by Israeli forces while attempting to deliver aid into Gaza. On this topic, she spoke to two experts on international humanitarian law on New Zealand and the international community’s obligations to respond to the Israel-Palestine conflict.
For Green World, Producer Jasmine spoke with Fiona McCormack, Associate Professor in Marine Anthropology at the University of Waikato, about the incoming Hauraki Gulf Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Bill
Following the arrest of Freedom Flotilla activists last week including New Zealanders Rana Hamida, Youssef Sammour and Sam Leason, the families of these activists alongside the Green Party coleaders held a press conference yesterday where they called for the New Zealand government to fulfil its obligations to international humanitarian law and answered questions from the media.
First, Wire Host Sara shares some recordings from the press conference.
As political leaders appear conflicted in their response to the situation in Gaza, especially in light of the attempts of citizens to put pressure on politicians as well as by-pass blockades themselves with the Freedom Flotilla, I was interested in the legal frameworks that exist for responding to this conflict.
To discuss this topic, Sara spoke with both Victoria University of Wellington legal professor Marnie Lloydd and University of Waikato law expert Alexander Gillespie about the obligations of other nations including New Zealand to act.
Her first interview was with Marnie Lloydd.
Then, further to this topic international law expert Alexander Gillespie speaks to New Zealand’s capacity to respond to the Israel/Palestine conflict.
