Just a warning, the next piece will be covering abuse, which may be a sensitive topic for some listeners.


From 15th to the 22nd of June is elder abuse awareness week, with world elder abuse awareness day taking place on the 15th. With most abusers being family members, elder abuse in many situations isn't as reported due to shame or other complications it could create. In the wake of COVID-19, it has been seen how much support has been given to the elderly, with calls to make sure this continues. Starting off with a question about the current statistics surrounding elder abuse in New Zealand, I talked to Hanny Naus, a professional educator for Age Concern, a leading provider in New Zealand when it comes to elder abuse services.

If you feel that you may be a victim of elder abuse or may be witnessing it in your home, family or community, as Hanny said, give their number , 0800 65 2 105, a call to get free and confidential support.

On the 25th May George Floyd was murdered by a police officer in America. Another in a long line of police murders in which Black people are systematically targeted - demonized, you could say, since deliberate racist and genocidal actions deemed an entire nation as less than human. 

Two days later here in Aotearoa, MP Judith Collins said she was 'sick of being demonised for her ethnicity'. 

What does it actually mean to be demonised for your ethnicity? And how are white supremacy, white privilege, white violence and white fragility at play here? 

Lillian Hanly takes us through some of these issues.
