This week there has been a lot of conversation around Marama Davidson's comments about white cis men and the violence perpetrated by them. Eileen Joy is a social worker and researcher who is researching child protection and domestic violence in Aotearoa. Her work and research has given her first hand experience about the problems of violence in Aotearoa New Zealand, and she has supported Davidson's comments. Simon spoke with Eileen about these issues. She began by discussing her views on Davidson's comments, as well as the prevalence of white male violence in Aotearoa. Just a warning, this segment contains discussions about domestic violence.
The New Zealand Geographic Board has recently accepted City Rail Link and Auckland Transport's proposal to rename Britomart as Waitematā station. Professor Robin Kearns is an advocate for renaming places around Aotearoa New Zealand that better reflect the local history as opposed to being named after people and places with little or no relevance to the land. Simon began by asking Professor Kearns why it is important to embrace Māori renaming in Aotearoa New Zealand.
