Kirsten is back in the studio! Yah live even, talking to friends and Border Radio followers. Lots of new releases, and Ani Difranco's "Revolutionary Love" which is a 2021 release although the single came out a bit earlier. Wonderful music all night. And a bit of dicussion about Robert Plant and Alison Kraus covering Lucinda Williams, it's a risky business.

This week on City Counselling, I spoke with Councillor Pippa Coom about the Councils 2022/2023 Budget being approved for public consultation.

Items for consultation include a proposed Climate Action Targeted Rate to support a billion-dollar climate action package and moving to a simpler payment method for rubbish collections.

We also discussed concerns surrounding the growing number of private helipads in residential areas.

Here is that interview.

Kohimarama Forest in Auckland’s Eastern Bays is under threat of being sold for residential development.

A push is now on to try to find a way of buying the land to preserve it as a publicly owned ecological reserve.

I spoke to Michelle Brinsden from the Eastern Bays Songbird Project who shares concerns about the future of Kohimarama Forest.
