Forest and Bird Aotearoa is calling on parties to announce more policies for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, following the release of data from Statistics New Zealand about emissions over the course of 2022. The organisation says that while a downward trend is shown, it is not enough, and is urging people to vote accordingly.
Wire producer Rosetta spoke to Geoff Keey, strategic advisor for Forest and Bird, about what they want to see from parties towards the election, and about the Climate Shift initiative to guide climate policy.
Save The Children is making an effort to better inform children about the voting process, and encouraging communities to better include their voices in politics. The organisation held a true-to-life voting experience for tamariki over the weekend, at Tāmaki Makaurau's Kids Only Market, where children were encouraged to voice the issues they want covered by the government.
Wire producer Rosetta spoke to Jacqui Southey, Child Rights Advocacy and Research Director for Save The Children, about what the voting experiece entailed, and the importance of involving children in politics.
On Isthmus'n That with Desley Simpson, the Deputy Mayor speaks about the incident in Auckland's CBD last week, the opening of the FIFA Women's World Cup in the city and the funding pledges from central government and council to restore the St James Theatre. Whakarongo mai nei!
