What's Up with Chris Hipkins sees the leader of the opposition speak to Rachel about short and long term priorities for the Labour Party, and Hipkins' call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
This morning, a convoy of eight trucks crossed Harbour Bridge to provide 100 kilometres of fencing to be donated to farmers affected by the cyclones. This was part of a Farmers Community Connect event, organised by Rapid Relief Team New Zealand, to provide assistance and advice to farmers.
Olivia talked to Director at Rapid Relief Team New Zealand, Danny Blampied, about this initiative, and the support Rapid Relief Team provides more generally.
For our weekly catch up with the Green Party Rawan spoke with Party Co-Leader James Shaw about some of the issues they have recently voiced concerns about.
First off Rawan asked about their push for progress on protection around the Hauraki Gulf. Earlier this week the green party wrote to the incoming government, to call for the progression without delay of the Hauraki Gulf/Tīkapa Moana Marine Protection Bill. James also spoke about the importance of this bill and the need for ocean protection in the Hauraki gulf.
They then discussed the party’s recent petition to save the oil and gas ban, which the new government plans to lift. James spoke about the pressing need for banning oil and gas exploration and what the alternative options are.
Finally Rawan asked about the party’s stance on the new government's changes to the smoke free legislations and what this could mean for New Zealanders.
This Week on Get Action!, Olivia spoke with Hinauri Apa-Fepulea’i, about her team’s Fossil Fuel Non Proliferation Treaty, which calls for the Government to phase out fossil fuel usage and production, as well as preventing new coal, oil, and gas developments.
Hinauri discussed why this treaty is important, the three pillars of the treaty, and where people can go to learn more, and support this cause.
Earlier this week the new National ACT and NZ First government announced that in order to fund Nationals promised tax cuts they will be making changes to the Smoke free Legislation.
This includes revoking the ban on the sale of cigarettes to future generations, reducing nicotine levels and limiting the number of tobacco retailers.
Many organisations have come forward to express their concern about this change including the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation New Zealand.
This morning Rawan spoke with the foundation’s CEO, Letitia Harding about the negative health impacts of this change, National’s claim that the legislation would lead to a growth in the black market and what we need to do to protect Aotearoa’s youth from lung and heart disease.
Elder Abuse is misunderstood, and difficult to spot, with many common forms often going unnoticed. These include psychological and financial abuse, as well as the more talked about physical elder abuse.
Olivia talked to Age Concern New Zealand’s Educator of Elder Abuse and Neglect, Hanny Naus about this issue. Hanny discussed the means of identifying possible abuse, and what people can do if they do suspect it.
