Pippa Coom again joined me, last week before I believe we both headed down to the climate strike down in Aotea Square. We talked about the upcoming elections among other things. Coom has been selected to stand as Councillor for the Waitemata & Gulf ward, so I started by asking what this role is, what does the councillor do and what the difference between that and her current role is.
Things are moving forward in bold steps for the land disputes in Ihumatao, the Stonefields Historic Reserve which was confiscated from Maori in 1863.
With Fletcher’s plan to develop housing units on 32 hectares of land, which is part of the rare cultural heritage landscape in Ihumatao, a petition was made against that move.
Now, Following the powerful and moving hikoi through Wellington streets on March the 12th to present their petition to Government, The Save Our Unique Landscape Campaign, the SOUL movement, will take the near 19,000-strong petition to Auckland Council on April the 9th, outside of Aotea Square.
Louis talks with SOUL co-founder and social activist Qiane Matata-Sipu, about the movement and their petition.
Dear Science with AUT’s Allan Blackman looks at breaking records, remaking energy, and new chemical substances.
Sherry talks to Claire Caldwell, the curator of the international art exhibition “This is where I live,” from people who have experienced homelessness.
We have a little briefing on the Wellbeing Budget before tomorrow's announcements.
We have NZ First talking about the provincial growth fund and where the money actually goes.
And Sherry pops down to the Teacher’s strike in Aotea Square later in the show.
The Wire producer Bronwyn Wilde attended the School Strike for Climate NZ strike at Aotea Square today at 12pm. The third school strike organised by New Zealand students, today's action comes at the end of the international Climate Change week. Unlike previous school strikes, this time the organisers encouraged parents and grandparents to also get involved. We live cross to Bronwyn to see what the turn out was.
