It is a period of undress. Maverick spaceships, with a nourished and engaged state of mind, have won their first victory against the Old Order. During the battle, Maverick spies managed to spread stimulating vibes to disrupt the Order’s ultimate weapon, Status Quo, a monotony of repeated mistakes that are destroying our planet. Pursued by the Order's dreary followers, dr.Snikkers races home aboard his starship, custodian of the tunes that can save all people and restore gratitude and love to the galaxy….
~ universal harmony ~
A soundtrack for creative minds and people who spread gratitude in a confronting way.
Te Pati Maori have drawn media speculation on the strength of their leadership, which has been described as “internal chaos” and “infighting,” despite the party announcing a reset.
Academic and professor of Maori management Jason Mika from the University of Auckland’s business school likens the conflict to “an open divorce court gone bad,” and believes that a shift in focus is needed.
Producer Faith spoke to Mika about the party’s conflicts, and how he believes they need to refocus.
Pati Solomona Tyrell’s sensationaal St Paul St show Fāgogo is discussed this week. Sione Monu, Pati Solomona Tyrell, and Manu Vaea caught up with Rachel for a chat. Fāgogo in Sāmoan refers to fables that are told to people in a shared context. The receiver of a fāgogo is vested with an expectation to pass on the story, making it their own and then passing it on. This oral tradition is sustained from generation to generation and acts as a transmission tool for ideology but also as a genealogical archive for shared historical and cultural context. A fāgogo can mirror the real world in ways that transcend contemporary life, through cultural imperatives that pre-date Western beliefs and value systems.
On What's Up with Nicola Willis, the deputy leader of the National Party speaks to Rachel about new policies from National regarding mobile phones in schools, transport and cancer drug funding. Rob Bollix takes us to The Mind Trench, which is filled with strawberry feather stars- which are less delightful looking than they sound. Pati AF is in the studio to talk about her upcoming gig, ‘The Happy Hour’ this Friday at Casette Nine. Salene advises the listeners on renting worries on A Room Of One's Own. Whakarongo mai nei!
Following the foreshore and seabed controversy of the early 2000s the government introduced a system for Māori to make claims to coastal land.However Māori claimants had to prove they had exclusively used and occupied an area from 1840 to the present day without substantial interruption.
Last year the court of appeal made a decision that groups only needed to show they had enough control over the area that they could keep others from using it - making it substantially easier for Māori to claim their rightful land.
But one year on, the government now wants to overturn this, claiming the decision will affect other New Zealanders rights to the land.
I spoke Te Pāti Māori's Mariameno Kapi-Kingi about the government's backwards move and what it means for Māori.
We also talked about the recent findings of the Inquiry into Abuse in State Care, and the disproportionate representation of Māori.
Last week was Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, New Zealand’s annual celebration of Te Reo Māori.
This is the 49th year that Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori has been celebrated in Aotearoa, three years after the Maori language petition was delivered to Parliament in 1972.
For their weekly catch up with Te Pāti Māori’s Mariameno Kapa-Kingi, Oto spoke to her about the important of Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori in platforming reo Māori.
He also spoke to her about gang patch legislation passing into law, and what the party’s thoughts are on this.
Finally, we discussed with her New Zealand supporting the UNGA resolution, calling for Israel to end its illegal occupation of Palestinian territory within 12 months.
Dr Will Evans from the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences is on Ready Steady Learn, talking about new research helping terminal cancer patients deal with depression using MDMA assisted psychotherapy. Whakarongo mai nei!
Dr Lara Greaves gives us some Political Commentary about allegations about misuse of private data by Te Pati Maori, and the PM's performance post Budget announcement.
