Changes to the Fast Track Bill w/ Greenpeace Aotearoa’s Programme Director, Niamh O’Flynn: 29th August, 2024

On Sunday, the government announced changes to the Fast Track Bill. 

Of the most notable of the changes, the Bill will no longer give three ministers sign-off powers, having now delegated that responsibility to a panel of independent experts.

This comes after widespread public protest and submissions against the Bill. 

Although these changes mean less power will be concentrated in the hands of three ministers than had been previously proposed, environmental groups continue to criticise the bill, saying these changes are not enough. 

Producer Sofia spoke to Greenpeace Aotearoa’s Programme Director, Niamh O’Flynn, about these changes and Greenpeace’s response.

Oil and Gas Ban reversal w/ Professor of Law, Barry Barton, from The University of Waikato

Following a call of urgent action from energy minister Simeon Brown and the coalition government, the government intends to reverse the ban on oil and gas exploration beyond onshore Taranaki. 

This decision comes after Simeon Brown declared New Zealand to have an energy shortage, leading to the highest wholesale electricity prices of comparable countries. At the same time however, there has been a continual increase in solar panel power which may solve New Zealand’s energy crisis.

Sasha spoke to Professor Barry Barton from the University of Waikato about the governments’ intention to remove the oil and gas exploration ban.

Marsden Fund cuts and the impact on Māori researchers w/ Dr Nicholas Cradock-Henry and Dr Carwyn Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu): 12th December, 2024

Last week, the Minister for Science, Innovation, and Technology, Judith Collins, announced that the 30-year-old Marsden Fund would no longer support social sciences and humanities. 

In 2024, Māori made up 13% of all Marsden funded investigators. By taking away the humanities and social sciences panel, that number plunges to just 5.5%.

The decision has been harshly criticised by researchers across academic disciplines. Now, 80 Rutherford Discovery Fellows have come together to present an open letter to the Minister voicing their concerns, condemning the ‘damaging changes’ to the Marsden Fund’s terms of reference which they want to see reversed, immediately. 

Producer Sofia spoke to Principal Social Scientist at GNS Science Te Pū Ao, Dr Nicholas Cradock-Henry, about this announcement and his concerns. 

She also spoke to Kaihautū of Te Whare Whakatupu Mātauranga, Te Wānanga o Raukawa; and Honorary Adjunct Professor at Te Kawa a Māui - School of Māori Studies at Te Herenga Waka - Victoria University of Wellington, Dr Carwyn Jones (Ngāti Kahungunu), about how the Marsden Fund cuts disproportionately impact Māori researchers.

Green MP, Tamatha Paul’s comments about the police w/ People Against Prison Aotearoa’s Dr Emmy Rākete: 31 March, 2025

Recently, Green MP, Tamatha Paul’s comments have made headlines across mainstream New Zealand political coverage.

At a panel with the University of Canterbury Greens and Peace Action Ōtautahi, Paul said Pōneke did not want to see police officers everywhere, as “for a lot of people it makes them feel unsafe,” as well as accusing police of “waiting for homeless people to leave their spot and throwing out their belongings” which she sez is a comment she received from a local MP from the Downtown Community Ministry and Salvation Army.

Paul has received backlash from some politicians, including Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, and Opposition Leader, Chris Hipkins.

However, many believe that what Paul said has been sensationalised.

On Friday, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the Press Spokesperson for People Against Prisons Aotearoa and Criminology Lecturer at the University of Auckland, Dr Emmy Rākete, about Paul’s comments, and how she is viewing this whole situation.

They started off by asking her how she is feeling about the reception of Paul's comments.

Feature: A Different Take On The World
Where we highlight a different way of thinking in order to better understand our experience of the world...

Richard Buckminister "Bucky" Fuller was an American architect, systems theorist, author, designer and inventor. Throughout his life, 1895-1983, he published over 30 books. The quote: 

"We should do away with the absolutely specious notion that everybody has to earn a living. It is a fact today that one in ten thousand of us can make a technological breakthrough capable of supporting all the rest. The youth of today are absolutely right in recognising this nonsense of earning a living. 

We keep inventing jobs because of this false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery because according to Malthusian Darwinian theory he must justify his right to exist. So we have inspectors of inspectors and people making instruments for inspectors to inspect inspectors. 

The true business of people should be to go back to school and think about whatever it was they were thinking about before somebody came along and told them they had to earn a living."

Ihumātao: New archaeological findings

A new review by senior a Auckland archaeologist, Ian Lawlor, challenges draft archaeological work, commissioned by Fletcher, for its application to Heritage New Zealand for an authority to modify and destroy archaeological sites located within the proposed development at Ihumātao. Lawlor’s report states that there is physical and documentary evidence to indicate that major stone wall structures on land at Ihumātao were created by local Māori prior to European settlement of the area, contrary to the report commissioned by Fletcher. bFM reporter Michael Garelja speaks to Brendan Corbett from Save Our Unique Landscape about the findings.
