Wellington City Council has announced a major project with a private developer to provide affordable housing in the city for nurses and teachers. It's understood this is the first of its kind here in New Zealand, but the rental cap type model is certainly not new in the rest of the world, but the Council and partner developer The Wellington Company have announced more projects in the future that will continue the concept. Wellington councillor Fleur Fitzsimons is in charge of the portfolio and Lillian Hanly speaks to her to find out more about the Council's hopes for 'rent stabilisation' in Wellington.

Social media as it exists currently is an oligopoly, with a handful of private companies controlling the structure and use of the platforms which mediate our communication not only with one another, but also with the public sphere. As these companies continue to amass considerable power, some have argued they are not suited for the great responsibility that comes with great power. Instead, they argue social media should be in the hands of democratic institutions.

Dr Sander Zwanenburg, an Information Science Lecturer at the University of Otago, is one such proponent of this view. Hanna spoke to him about the scale and scope of social media issues under private ownership, how things might look different under an alternative model, and whether such a transition is even possible.
