Green Party candidate Leilani Tamu explains why the Herald’s latest foray in Pacific coverage highlights a lack of reporting in the area from New Zealand’s media.
Check out the full podcast for this week's Tuesday show, where we take a look at the new proposed voting age and speak to the Residents and Ratepayers Association about joining forces against Watercare with the Oratia community, Green candidate Leilani Tamu about the problems with the NZ Herald's latest Pacific coverage, a researcher behind a push for saving Maui's dolphins with thermal detection, and more.
Is the Green Party out of touch with Pacific people? Well, AUT journalism lecturer Richard Pamatatau seems to think so. In an article written for E-Tangata, Pamatatau says the Greens do not do enough to reach out to Pacific voters and that the fact only two Pacific candidates are on the list is a reflection that the party is indeed out of touch. Pamatatau says the Greens have much to learn about engaging with the Pacific population, and the list placing of Leilani Tamu (20) and Teanau Tuiono (19) is evidence of that. In the article Pamatatau also claims that Green delegates were given a special instruction by the party's general secretary to ensure 22-year-old Chloe Swarbrick secured a top place. Reporter Sam Smith spoke to Pamatatau about his claims.
Tonight's show was actually entirely curated by bFM's own Samuel Harmony, who sent Oto and Jaycee, not just a playlist, but a stack of CDs and Casettes that he collected while he was in Indonesia as part of the New Zealand Delegation attending AXEAN Festival 2025. Whakarongo mai to experience 2 hours of Psych rock, folk, disco and more by Southeast-Asian artists playing at the festival!
Oto and Jaycee talked to bad for education about his new single - 'Close My Eyes,' and played 2 hours of Surf Rock, Indie and Grunge by independent artists from the Asian diaspora.
