Disability Services Funding w/ Peter Reynolds: February 13, 2023

The industry of disability service providers is an entirely government-funded collection of entities that provide free-of-charge services to those in need. Recent increases in costs of providing services have made it difficult for these organisations to provide the same level of care for a given budget. 

Arno spoke to Peter Reynolds, CEO of the New Zealand Disability Support Network - a society of organisations that provide support to disabled people. He started off by asking if the government was doing enough to meet rising inflation by funding disability worker organisations.

New Starless Planets Discovered w/ Dr Nick Rattenbury: 18 October, 2023

Our traditional model of the universe has always said that planets are formed with an accompanying solar system. That is, most stars have their own planets, and most planets have their own stars. However scientists have suggested that starless planets may exist. 

Now, a new telescope has taken images to prove that this is indeed the case. The James Webb Space Telescope has captured not one, but two planets orbiting each other, far away from the gravity of a sun. 

To find out more about this and what it means for us, Arno spoke to Dr Nick Rattenbury, a senior professor at the University of Auckland and the former president of the Royal Astronomical Society of New Zealand. 

Arno started off our interview by asking how these planets formed.

Green Party co-leader James Shaw on the passing of Fa'anānā Efeso Collins: February 28, 2024

On Wednesday the 21st of February New Zealand was shocked to learn of the sudden passing of Greens MP Fa'anānā Efeso Collins.

Efeso began his career as a youth worker before joining the Auckland Council as a councillor for the Manukau ward. 

He later ran for Mayor with the endorsement of both Labour and the Greens, before campaigning for the Green party in last year's election.

In his maiden speech Collins highlighted his wish to be a champion for underserved and underprivileged members of our society;

"The government cannot be a bystander to people suffering confusion and disenfranchisement. New Zealand must close the divide between those who have and those who have not, because the reality for my community is that those who have more money often wield more power, more health, more housing, more justice, more access, more canopy cover, more lobbyists with swipe cards, and more time,"

Nicholas spoke to Green Party co-leader James Shaw about the passing of his friend and colleague Fa'anānā Efeso Collins.
