Waitangi Day tomorrow will see political parties and their leaders from across parliament gathering to celebrate the anniversary of Aotearoa’s founding document. As this year is an election year, party leaders are keen to announce policies and set themselves apart from their political opponents.
In the leadup to Waitangi Day, the government has been met with accusations of participating in secret mineral trading talks with the United States. The talks follow the US announcing a proposed mineral trading bloc to reduce reliance on China. The government has been criticised for engaging in such talks without public knowledge, and for considering increasing mining despite the significant environmental impact.
For our weekly catchup with the Labour Party’s Shanan Halbert, News and Editorial director Castor asked about Waitangi Day, Labour’s policies for Māori this election, and the party’s take on secret mining discussions.
John Key’s resignation means big changes for the whole of New Zealand as we wait to find out who will be our new Prime Minister, and who will lead National into the next election. But we can’t forget how John Key’s been elected into parliament for the last 14 years - the people of Helensville. Key has said he’ll continue as Helensville's MP so as to not trigger a by-election. But he won't be contesting the seat next year.
John Key’s been called the ‘everyman and nowhere man’ of the electorate, which is centered around the town of Helensville northwest of Auckland. But he’s always been popular, winning about 60-75% of the vote over the last 3 elections. So what’s going to happen to the contest for Helensville, now that it’s no longer a cut-and-dry Key victory?
95bFM reporter Daniel Walker speaks to Labour Party secretary general Andrew Kirton.

This week on The Wire we speak to Green Party co-leader James Shaw about Labour's immigration policy and whether the Greens are becoming too centrist. AUT Pacific Media Centre's Kendall Hutt speaks with two Papua New Guinea students Stephanie and Kenneth about the upcoming Papua New Guinea elections. bFM producer Ben Goldson speaks to Labour's spokesperson for housing, Phil Twyford, about MBIE's Housing Affortability Measure and to E Tu's assistant national secretary, John Ryall about the fight for pay equity in the mental health center. Ben also speaks to President of the Psychological Society, Quentin Abraham, about New Zealand's poor showing in Unicef's 14th Innocenti report. Amanda looks at what happened in the Grenfell Tower fire and if something similar could happen in New Zealand.
The election wrap-up show where Joel and Sam look at what the election results mean for New Zealanders. Sam spoke to Bryce Edwards who broke down his views on the election, Joel spoke to the Green Party's Chloe Swarbrick about the youth voting turnout, and the effectiveness of MMP systems. He also spoke to Julie-Anne Genter about what the election results mean for the Green Party, as well as speaking to Kendall Hutt from AUT Pacific Media Center about how the election affects Pasifika communities. Producer Jack also spoke to Rez Gardi, the founder of the Kurdish Youth Association about the referendum of independence taking place in Iraqi Kurdistan today.
To go back to something Lillian had looked at earlier in the level 4 alert period, we look at the situation for babies in refugee camps. Anne Merewood is one of the directors of CHEERing, along with her colleague Irini Azaar who is based in Greece. Anne is based in Boston working at the Boston University. CHEER stands for the Center for Health Equity, Education and Research in Greece. What they do in Greece specifically is work with refugee populations in the areas of maternal child health, health equity, and particularly in terms of infant feeding. This work is both inside the refugee camps, supporting breastfeeding and weighing babies and small children. They also train other organisations in these areas. Given they are not big enough to cover everything their main intention is to train other people in camps and working in camps to be familiar with infant feeding, needs and emergencies. Lillian got in touch with Anne earlier this month to find out what was happening for them in terms of the possible risk of Covid19 in refugee camps, and we ended up having a longer chat about some of the work CHEER does.
Just a note this was recorded a few weeks ago now.
