Primary school teachers and principals have voted to go on a full day strike. On 15th of August, the teachers will go on a full strike. Deputy Prime Minister has called this strike disappointing and the New Zealand Educational Institute sez their is crisis that needs to be addressed.
To find out more about this, Darashpreet spoke to Lynda Stuart President of the New Zealand Educational Institute.
The Prime Minister's back on the line, and back down to business. Covering leaky opposition travel expenses, the current teachers' strike, and the unfolding saga of Wally Haumaha - it's a busy chat, well met. Welcome back, PM.
It's been a big week for New Zealand politics, so where to start? What's next for broadcasting, post Clare Curran's departure? Do we have an agreed upon number for our refugee quota? And is there a future for compulsory Te Reo in schools? Mike gets all the answers from our Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden.
Grant Robertson dials in from sunny Wellington (to grim Auckland) to talk about WADA's decision to reinstate Russia after the doping scandals (he's not stoked on the idea), these tax cuts everyone has been whispering about, and the Prime Minister's visit to New York with baby Neve; who says you can't be Mum and PM?!
What's going on in New Zealand politics this week Dr. Bryce? Prime Minister, Jacinda Arden, is checking out what's going on in New York with baby Neve, Trump wants a war on drugs but not Jacinda, and in breaking news, someone has leaked an incident report from the government. Uh oh.
The Prime Minister is back from the States but more importantly, back talking to Mikey on 95bFM. Covering many of the latest political news on our horizons, such as climate change, 'fleecing' fuel prices (something Mikey and Jacinda both feel very strongly about), and the government spending surplus that was announcements. It's announcements galore for the government this week, wowee.
Mikey catches up with the PM over the pay strikes in Aotearoa for some of those important roles in our society, teachers and midwives. Also talking other new roles, 600 of them in fact, and these new houses, Kiwibuild, who are they for? Mike gets the low down from the Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, on all thats new and (hopefully) changing.
Rod Oram catches up with Mikey this morning over our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern's recent trip to the APEC. As well as covering other international news, for which there is plenty. Especially Brexit, Brexit is happening. Yikes.
Mikey catches up with our Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, about her recent international affairs at APEC (you know, business and security and stuff) as well as topics that are closer to home such as the recent announcement of a $3.5 billion early childhood plan, and re-entry into the Pike River mine.
