Amongst the numerous austerity measures the government implemented since coming into office are a variety of cuts that have impacted organisations and services for the disabled community of Aotearoa.

Some of these measures include the scrapping of a programme that would pay disabled workers the minimum wage, the restructuring of Whaikaha, the ministry for disabled people, and general austerity cuts likely to have an impact on the disabled community such as public transport fare increases and minimum wage stagnation. 

Oto spoke to Nicola Owen from Disabled People Against Cuts Aotearoa, who have been leading a number of rallies and campaigns across the motu advocating for the disabled community of Aotearoa and protesting against the austerity measures that directly impact them.

New video footage of the interior of the vandalised St James Theatre has been released by Auckland Central MP Chlöe Swarbrick, showing fungi growing on damp floors, damaged electrical fittings and roof, as well as an exposure to the weather and rain, and foundation-eroding dampness.

Swarbrick has written an open letter calling for the government to match the Auckland Council's $15 million commitment to restoring the building. She says this decision can't be kicked down the road any more and that the revival of the theatre will secure Queen Streets' status as a buzzing destination that will provide space and a place for Auckland's creative community.

Built in 1928, St James Theatre once hosted many shows and concerts. St James Theatre is also regarded as a Category 1 Heritage building, meaning it is a historic places are of special or outstanding historical or cultural significance or value. 

However, Building owner Steve Bielby says thieves and vandals had 'gutted' the once historic site.

Joe spoke to the owner of St James Theatre, Steve Bielby as well as Green Party MP for Auckland Central Chlöe Swarbrick, about why the revitalisation of St James Theatre is so significant to Auckland. 

This week the government is implementing their long-awaited tax cuts. The tax cuts differ but are generally small cuts. A couple earning $100,000 a year with no children would pocket an extra $80 a fortnight for example, while a single childless person on minimum wage will save $25 a fortnight.

The tax cuts have been celebrated by some while being criticised by others for being minimal relief, especially for those who need relief from the cost of living the most.

The Government has also put aside an extra $216 million to pay for the scrapping of the excise tax on tobacco. Labour’s health spokesperson has criticised this move, saying the money would be better spent elsewhere.

And the Minister for social development quietly lowered child poverty reduction targets from 13.3% to 9% for 2024/2025 and 11% for 2026/2027. The government says this to make the targets more achievable.

For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, WIre Host Caeden spoke to Labour Deputy Leader Carmel Sepuloni about these topics.
