Check out the full podcast for this week's Tuesday show, where we speak to Privacy Commissioner John Edwards about electricity meter privacy, Māori Party co-leader Marama Fox about her take on the budget and mental health advocacy group Platforms CEO Marion Blake about an incoming exodus for the sector. Green Desk features sustainable packaging and Sam also has a report on Trump and Climate Change.
This week on The Green Desk, Bronwyn Wilde spoke to Dr Kēpa Morgan about mauri modelling - a framework for decision-making which measures sustainability trends. Unlike a purely economic view of sustainability, the model recognises four dimensions of wellbeing, environmental, cultural, social and economic. Kēpa first invented the mauri-o-meter in his 2008 thesis about municipal waste water management, but since then it has been applied throughout the country to a number of ecosystems, including the clean-up following the Rena oil spill. Bronwyn and Kēpa spoke about the model, how it compliments and even improves on western science, and why we value certain knowledge over others.
He began by shedding some light on the concept of "mauri".
Dr Mark Baynes and Frances Chan cruise the Big Easy for their pick of New Orleans jazz - brass bands galore, tinkling ivories and some sensuous singers as well. And we remember Bennie Pete, bandleader and sousaphone player from the Hot 8 Brass Band, who passed away on 6 September 2021.
