Over the course of the latest Trump Administration, numerous international organisations have found themselves in the President's crosshairs. The latest is the World Trade Organisation, with the US proposing a set of reforms that would consolidate their influence over the organisation, and reduce the limitations placed upon them.
Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke with Professor Emeritus in Law at the University of Auckland, Jane Kelsey, about these reforms, particularly in regards to how New Zealand is positioning ourselves in these changes, and what they’ll mean for us.
For our weekly catch-up with the ACT Party, News Director Castor spoke to MP Simon Court about Liquid Natural Gas imports and David Seymour’s State of the Nation speech.
They also spoke to Professor Emeritus at Massey University, Ralph Sims, about the sustainability of an LNG terminal.
And they spoke to University of Auckland Professor of Electrical Engineering Nirmal Nair about how the LNG plans would benefit power companies.
Producer Alex spoke to Professor Emeritus in Law at the University of Auckland, Jane Kelsey, about the ongoing rumblings around reforms within the World Trade Organisation, New Zealand’s role, and what changes to the organisation would mean for us.
He also spoke with Professor in Chemicals and Materials Engineering at the University of Auckland, and Deputy Director of the Green Energy Engineering Centre, Brent Young, about the governments LNG terminal proposal, and what it means in the context of our wider approach to fixing our energy woes.
The government’s plans to construct a liquified natural gas import terminal have sparked a lot of conversation over the past week about the role of natural gas in our energy infrastructure, and what more we need.
Producer Alex spoke with Professor in Chemical and Material Engineering at the University of Auckland, Brent Young, about how this proposal fits in to the issue it seeks to solve, and what more needs to be done within our energy infrastructure.
Next, News Director Castor spoke to Professor Emeritus at Massey University, Ralph Sims, about the sustainability of Liquid Natural Gas and potential alternatives.
Finally, they spoke to the University of Auckland’s Professor of Electrical Engineering Nirmal Nair about how energy companies stand to benefit from the LNG changes.
This past week has seen the government announcing plans to construct a facility for the storage of liquid natural gas. The plans have been criticised by activists, academics, and opposition members, who say it compromises our government’s commitment to reducing emissions.
Yesterday also saw ACT Party Leader David Seymour deliver his State of the Nation speech, noting different parts of society and the economy his party takes issue with. He particularly raised "five warning lights", of issues that the country must "overcome".
For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party, News Director Castor spoke to Simon Court about each of these issues, starting with liquid natural gas.
