New research into gender pay equity in Aotearoa New Zealand universities from the University of Canterbury explores interventions that will improve representation of women at higher levels of academia and therefore address pay equity. This research builds on the authors’ previous work published in 2020 which found that over her career, a woman employed on academic staff at a New Zealand university can expect to earn about $400,000 less than a man.

Joe had the opportunity to speak to Professor Alex James, from the University of Canterbury, who co-authored the study.

Early this morning, Queen Elizabeth the Second passed away at age 96. 

The queen was the head of state for the United Kingdom, Aotearoa New Zealand, and multitudes of other nations throughout the commonwealth. 

She originally ascended to the throne on the Sixth of February 1952, making her the longest reigning monarch at seventy years. 

The United Kingdom is undergoing a day of mourning ahead of her funeral in ten days time, however the full extent of it’s impact on New Zealand is currently unknown.

Considering her appearance on coins and 20 dollar notes, an economic reworking could soon be in place.

However, the end of the mourning period could possibly see conversations rise on New Zealands need for a head of state.

The possibility of becoming a republic is not unique to our country, with other nations also attempting to understand where this could take them in the future.

For some commentary, Liam had a chat with Stephen Hoadley, an international relations professor from the University of Auckland.

The White Lady food truck has recently had it’s licence extended by twelve months by the Auckland Council. 

This came after weeks of tension, due to a complaint against the white lady being made by a store that operates nearby it. 

The store complained about rubbish being left on the street, and of drunk customers loitering nearby.

This led to The White Lady having it’s licence restricted, which saw major backlash to the council for punishing struggling local businesses.

Liam had a chat with Auckland City Councillor Pippa Coom about the licence renewal, as well as various other efforts to revitalise the city centre.
