National MP Sam Uffindell lodged his private members bill last week, which the party claims is aimed at ensuring equal voting rights in local government. However, multiple Māori leaders say the bill ignores representation issues and the purpose of Māori wards.
Māori representation positions on councils and committees aim to ensure and protect representation for Māori, rather than provide a specific privilege.
Also in politics this past week, Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters delivered his State of the Nation speech where he spoke about New Zealand First’s direction moving forward. Among his main new talking points were the party’s ‘War on Woke’ and his plans to ‘Make New Zealand First Again’.
In our weekly catchup with National’s Tom Rutherford, Wire host Castor asked about Sam Uffindell’s new bill and how the national party would respond to Peters’ new policies, starting with the private members bill.
A new government proposal would see maternity hospital stay periods extended from 48 to 72 hours. The change would reduce stress on parents and allow more time to adjust with hospital support.
To discuss the change and other support for new parents, Wire host Castor spoke to senior lecturer at the University of Auckland, Dr. Charlotte Oyston, about this proposal to increase the maternity hospital stay period.
For Dear Science this week, our expert, Professor Allan Blackman, chatted with us about seal blood oxygen levels, phrases boosting citations, and an Australian man importing plutonium.
In our weekly catchup with the National Party’s Tom Rutherford, I ask about Sam Uffindell’s new private members bill and Winston Peters’ war on woke.
They also speak to Senior lecturer at the University of Auckland, Dr. Charlotte Oyston, about a proposal to increase the maternity hospital stay period.
And producer Amani spoke with former NZ Herald editor Dr Gavin Ellis on why he believes a digital-only strategy could shatter the future of the NZ Herald, and how he feels about the recent board-overhaul

Nick and Rosetta are back for another epic Tuesday Drive! Today on the show, we listen to Nick's catch up with Durand Jones & The Indications ahead of their show at The Powerstation - and their new album Flowersout June 27! For AudioCulture, the duo catch up with local legend and owner of Whammy Bar Lucy Macrae about the history of Save Our Venues, now known as Independent Music Venues Aotearoa. Plus news, weather, surf, prizes, SRN Top 10 recap, and more!
Today on Audio Culture, Nick and Rosetta chat with local legend and owner of Whammy Bar Lucy Macrae about the Save Our Venues movement that made waves across the Aotearoa Music Scene throughout Covid-19 - and went on to become the organisation Independent Music Venues Aotearoa, providing support and strengthening community amongst independent music venues across the motu.
Durand Jones & The Indications have built an international fanbase due to their endearing approach to contemporary soul music. Their music has the unique quality of sounding anachronistic without being derivative. Nicholas caught up with the soul-band before their show at the Powerstation in Tāmaki Makaurau. The conversation began with a discussion on the impact of recently passed artists Roberta Flack and Angie Stone. Listen along as the band discusses a range of topics from their favourite animals to the correlation between James Baldwin's writing and Durand Jones' music.
