The rising cost of living in Aotearoa is pushing many families out of cities and bringing them to smaller rural communities and towns.
The influx of new residents and housing developments in these areas is having a massive impact on the schools and teachers within those communities, reshaping the identity of the schools and the way they structure themselves.
Oto spoke to Dr Jennifer Tatebe, a senior lecturer in the Faculty of Education and Social Work at the University of Auckland, to discuss the impacts of urbanisation on rural schools.
Labour had their lower North Island regional conference over the weekend, where leader Chris Hipkins spoke to what kind of opposition he wanted the party to be.
It came ahead of scrutiny week in Parliament. Scrutiny week is a chance for the opposition to analyse the budget line-by-line with a fine tooth comb, and raise any questions or concerns in front of a more than usual public eye.
Wire Host Caeden spoke about what kind of opposition Labour has become, and what we have learnt in scrutiny week for our weekly catch-up with Labour Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni.
New Caledonia has been dominating headlines recently for ongoing riots and indigenous opposition against an attempt from France to tighten their political control over the territory.
Wire Host Caeden spoke to indigenous Kanak youth co-ordinator Viro Xulue about recent developments in their fight against French rule on this issue and more generally.
We also spoke about his comments that New Zealanders, especially Māori, should be standing in solidarity with the Kanak people.
He encourages everyone to write to their MPs in support of New Caledonian independence from France and to also organise and attend rallies for this cause.
They started by asking what the current situation is.
New Zealand recognises the threat of climate change to Pacific nations but this is not reflected in our immigration policies.
As environmental disasters increasingly impact the pacific, many are calling for these laws to be reviewed to make migration more accessible.
Wire Host Caeden spoke about this issue with World Vision’s Dr Olivia Yates. They started by asking why there is a need to introduce new immigration policy relating to climate change in the Pacific.
Last week United States bank Wells Fargo made headlines for firing a dozen employees who were caught faking working from home.
