With COVID still here and Christmas quickly approaching while cases continue to rise across the globe, the government announced this morning a new order that will be put in place. This order is in relation to border testing, where a number of changes will take place. They are:

·        Increasing the frequency of testing for ship pilots and some other port workers who carry out work on affected ships, from fortnightly to weekly,

·        Increasing testing frequency for some workers who carry out work on aircraft that have arrived from outside of New Zealand, from fortnightly to weekly.

·        Mandatory fortnightly testing for port workers not already covered,

·        Mandatory fortnightly testing for airport airside and landside workers not already covered who interact with international arriving or transiting passengers

James spoke to minister in charge of the COVID-19 response, Chris Hipkins, about these changes, and started off by asking about the impact of testing weekly instead of fortnightly

This week it was announced that Tāmaki Makaurau will be receiving a further 152 battery electric buses for its roads; an order that is described as the biggest electric bus order in Australasia. 

The Auckland Transport press release said that an increase in the number of electric vehicles, operating on Auckland Transport’s bus services, will actively support the goals of Te Tāruke-ā-Tāwhiri: Auckland's Climate Plan, which has a focus on reducing greenhouse gas emissions, as well as preparing Auckland for the impacts of climate change.

Zazi spoke with AT Metro’s Decarbonisation Manager, Darek Koper. They spoke about how these electric buses will impact the environment, how transport emissions are currently affecting climate change, and when we should start to see these buses driving around Auckland. They also touched on what other steps AT Transport are making to reduce emissions in Aotearoa. 

The United States is increasingly moving away from global institutions in a pursuit of populist isolationism. In its wake, it leaves multilateral organisations founded on the assumption of US support, which many smaller nations are dependent on for foreign affairs, health support, defence, or trade. 

The World Trade Organisation is facing such pressures now, with a looming threat of US exit following similar policies curbing the organisation’s influence. To discuss what the WTO is, how dependent it is on US support, and what it could mean for a changing global society if the US withdrew, News Director Castor spoke to Professor of Law at the University of Auckland, Jane Kelsey.
