Wire host Caeden speaks to Labour’s Willow-Jean Prime about the beginning of boot camps for youth offenders at the end of this month and funding cuts at Oranga Tamariki.
They speak to Dr Simone Watkins from the University of Auckland about the importance of equitable approaches for Māori, Pacific, and Indian communities in our health system.
And they speak to the University of Auckland’s Liz Beddoe about the state of reproductive justice in the United States two years on from the overturning of Roe v Wade.
For City Counselling this week, Producer Sofia speaks to Councillor Julie Fairey about flood prevention work in Māngere and Muriwai as well as increasing public safety in Auckland’s CBD.
Tuesday Wire host Castor spoke to Professor of business at the University of Auckland, Alex Sims, about the history and impact of planned obsolescence.
The government’s controversial “boot camps” for youth offenders begin on the 29th of July. These boot camps have been the subject of recent news due to their huge cost and military component.
The arrival of boot camps comes as funding has been slashed at Oranga Tamariki, causing the organisation to abruptly cancel hundreds of contracts. These contracts included organisations who say the work they do is “frontline” despite the Government stating their funding cuts won’t impact frontline workers.
Wire Host Caeden speaks to Labour Spokesperson for Children and Youth, Willow-Jean Prime about both of these topics.
Nicola Willis said this year’s budget “delivers to Māori because when a New Zealand turners up to an emergency room or a school, they don’t turn up thinking about their ethnicity.
This comment was met with a lot of criticism, including from Asscoiate Professor Marama Muru-Lanning who responded, “When a Māori turns up at a hospital they know they are Māori! They never forget that, and they’re only there because they absolutely have to be there.”
Wire Host Caeden spoke to Dr Simone Watkins about the government’s “equal” approach to healthcare, and how that continues to disadvantage people who are Māori, Pasifika, and Indian.
They started by asking what the unequal health outcomes are.
