Pennie's back this week fighting fit and healthy with breaking news that The Perm is coming back! While educating us in the history of Hot Tongs, Pennie question's whether Mike's curly locks are natural... Are they, Mikey?
This week Jackson teaches us how to make your very own Hat Gallery. To make along at home you are going to need a hat, an A4 sheet of paper, safety pins, scissors, felt tips, pencils and a $1 snap lock bag of your favourite lollies. Let's go!
Johanna brings us a joyful selection of her top reckons for upcoming theatre. Get yourself along to Welcome to Thebes this week to dive into some emerging talent, and make sure you lock in your tickets to My Heart Goes Thadak Thadak because it looks like a wildly good time.
The Mayor, His Worship, chats to us one more time for 2019 before heading off into a Christmas break. Rachel asks about the result of the negotiations after the bus lock out, how the council will be reducing their emissions, and what Phil will be getting up to over the break. Happy holidays!
Sam's back and things aren't looking too bright. A middle of the road show that does not do the comic justice, Locke and Key (2020). After reading the comic in his younger years, Sam doesn't reckon this show lives up to the hype.
We have Deputy Leader of NZ First Fletcher Tabuteau with us today. Normally we have this chat on a Wednesday but we haven’t been able to lock that in for quite a while. There’ll be time for a proper catch up at some point but he pandemic kei te haere - we are in the middle of a pandemic so that's where we start.
Salene's here to help with leaky showers, a broken lock, noisy neighbours, and moving on. Whakarongo mai nei, and remember you can check out these helpful places too if you need:
Last week two reports were released by the Office of the Ombudsman after the inspection of a Women’s prison in Christchurch and the Wellington Arohata prison.
The chief of the Ombudsman along with advocacy groups such as Amnesty International and Justspeak have come forward to criticise the treatment of prisoners and the cultural and leadership issues.
Poor treatment included, long lock up hours, lack of privacy in toilets and bathrooms and neglect in high security areas. Amnesty and Justspeak have also made a submission to the UN comittee against torture, to stop the use of spit hoods on young people.
Rawan spoke with Lisa Woods, from Amnesty international about the results of the recent reports and what needs to be done.
