Oozing a grateful ora, massaging the creative mind.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: will a plastic-eating enzyme save the earth? Only Rob knows; Clayton's in to talk children's TV (though Adventune Time is really for all); we chat to Russell Brown about last night's ~ controversial ~ Taite Music Prize ceremony; Ant gives us the lowdown on this year's 48 Hours Film Competition; and filmmaker Annie Goldson's in the studio to chat about the upcoming Women in Media panel. It's a packed show, folks.
The organisations of Shakti, the Khadija Leadership Network and Auckland Peace Action have come together to host Let’s Deal With It: A Trans-Tasman Conference Towards Racial Equity. The beginnings of this event came out of the terror attacks in Christchurch. The groups say they want to create a safe platform to establish an open dialogue between Australia and Aotearoa New Zealand to help build a society free of prejudice, racism and hate-based crime. The one-day conference focuses on 'creating awareness of the democratic and political processes, promoting active citizenship, encouraging active citizenship within the context of multicultural dialogue and promoting the self-development of refugee and migrant communities'. Tayyaba Khan is from the Khadija Leadership Network, and Arisha Chandra and Mengzhu Fu are both from Shakti. They are all involved in planning the conference and they joined Lillian Hanly this morning to speak more about what they hope to come of it. Lillian started by asking how the conference came about.
The event is on this Friday the 14th, at the Mt Eden War Memorial Hall from 8-5pm. If you can't make it, it will be livestreamed, so you can find that on the Shakti, Auckland Peace Action and Khadija Leadership Network social media. The panels will also be filmed and available online, you can also get involved in the conversation online if you can’t be there in person.

As a txter said: "The simplest, easiest submission only needs two sentences. In the Statements box type 'I oppose the regulatory standards bill'. In the Reccommendations box type 'I reccommend the Bill be rejected and that all parties be prevented from trying to resubmit the Bill in the future."
So simple. Thank you for your thoughts, astute txter!
Personally, I don't believe the country wants our legislation to be based on ACT Party principles - take 5 and have your say, it's important~!
If you want to know more about the Bill this video from Te Ao with Moana is well researched and clear.
The closing date for submissions is 1.00pm, Monday, 23 June 2025.
