The lead up to this year’s election has been marked by conversations regarding Māori rights and crown obligations under Te Tiriti O Waitangi.
As our country reckons with the contentious history of colonisation, work has started on imagining a new Aotearoa.
Matike Mai is a working group dedicated to researching ways in which Aotearoa’s constitution can better reflect He Whakaputanga (The declaration of Independence), Te Tiriti O Waitangi and the United Nations declaration on the rights of indigenous peoples.
Nicholas spoke to a member of Matike Mai, Te Matahiapo to discuss the mahi that has been done so far, as well as the reasons why constitutional reform will benefit not just Māori but all people who call New Zealand home.
Nicholas began by asking Te Matahiapo to explain what Matike Mai is.
This week for our weekly catchup with Dr Reti, Nicholas asked Dr Reti about the National Party’s plans to scrap Fair Pay Agreements.
Fair Pay legislation was passed last year, the legislation would require employers in certain sectors to negotiate minimum working conditions for employees, with Unions and employee representatives.
The interview began with a question about National’s potential lack of MP’s of Pacific Island descent. As it currently stands Angee Nicholas would be the only National MP of Pacific Island descent. Angee Nicholas currently holds her seat by thirty votes so it is possible she may end up out of parliament.
Nicholas began by asking Dr Reti how National plans to make sure the Pacific Island population of Aotearoa is represented in the new government.
Bernard Sama is our guest for Ready Steady Learn, talking about his PhD research which is devoted to critiquing the refugee law system in Aotearoa New Zealand from a therapeutic jurisprudence perspective. Whakarongo mai nei!
