Hannah Valentine joined us for the first half, a discussed her sculptural practice, that is open to interaction from the audience. You can find Valentine's "Grips, slips, of space, a memory" at Te Tuhi Gallery in Pakuranga. Described as a feminist primal-rock-band-slash-art-collective, our next guests Fantasing were in town on a residency at Audio Foundation. We enjoyed the chance to break down the group dynamics, and heard some of the diverse influences that seep into their tunes (think 70s country, bacon, Greek prog-rock, NZ's regional mounds, friendship).
Yesterday we spoke to Titirangi Residents and Ratepayers Association Chair Dr Mels Barton about her group's opposition to the proposed development of the Oratia water treatment plant. Barton also told bFM that those who suggested the two communities were 'pitted against each other' were completely misrepresenting the situation. She said she welcomed the development to Titirangi, but only so long as the publicly owned Exhibition Drive was kept from being sold.

The new Labour-led coalition government is making moves. The govt announced Tuesday plans to amend the Overseas Investment Act (OIA) to classify residential housing as "sensitive", which will effectively ban non-resident foreigners from buying existing homes without breaching major trade agreements. The government are moving as quickly as possible, the ban should come into effect early next year, and It’s a well timed political move coinciding with the potential of Labour signing a TPP agreement late next year.
Not all are impressed with the moves. Criticism if rife of it’s effectiveness to fix the housing crisis. Mike Hosking has said its the move to make to make everyone think youre doing something. But is ths the case?
I spoke earlier with Political commentator Bryce Edwards to analyse what the ban means for Labour and this government.
