ustin recaps the main points covered in today's Electoral Response Committee meeting, as reported by Laura Kvigstad and Jessica Hopkins.
Following Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's Alert Level Two announcement yesterday, the committee looks into the impacts of Covdi 19 on the tourism industry. Representatives from New Zealand Māori Tourism, The Haka Tourism Group, Event Impressions, Sounds Air, Pan Pacific Travel, Sudima Hotels and Tourism Industry Aotearoa were all in attendance, with Minister of Tourism Kelvin Davis joining later in the meeting.

Kaishandao is a Pōneke-born, Chengdu-based musician and producer, who is behind the online portal and touring company Kiwese. A few months ago, she self-released the Homeland EP, an enigmatic debut that seems to wed hypnagogic memories to the pulse, structure and dynamics of dance music. She shares a mix made during an unexpected two-week hotel quarantine, which shifts from slowburning melancholy to meditative rhythms and emotional bops.
To close, we hear from ajhoneysuckle, a Tainui/Samoan deejay based in Ōtautahi. Her sets centre nostalgic melodies, rhythmic breaks, and big basslines, and have quickly seen her get booked for some of the bigger parties across Aotearoa. Tonight, she shares a mix that focuses on the darker elements of Drill, Grime, Dub, and Hip-hop before transitioning into high energy UK-inflected sounds.
