Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has announced that the election will be held on November 7th.

November 7th is also what is known as ‘Public Service Day’, marking the anniversary of when the first Public Service Act became law in Aotearoa.

Wire Host Caeden spoke to Public Service Association National Secretary Fleur Fitzsimmons about the significance of the election date. 

Tāmaki was hit with severe heavy rain warnings in recent days, with extreme weather and states of emergency declared around the motu. These heightened caution around risks of flooding in areas affected by 2023 Auckland Anniversary floods.

Last week, there were changes to national laws that now allow ‘granny flats’ to be built on properties without the need to obtain resource consent.

And stripping of marine life from rock pools around Whangaparāoa has raised discussion of shellfish protections, but not without increasing racial tensions in community discourse.

Producer Jasmine Gray spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about how these topics impact Tāmaki Makaurau.

The Outdoor Access Commission, Herenga ā Nuku, published Aotearoa’s first report on the state of national public land access. The report revealed how up to a third of Māori land is ‘landlocked’, citing this as one of the biggest challenges to public access in 2025. 

Producer Jasmine Gray first spoke to Strategic Relationships Manager of Herenga ā Nuku, Doug Macredie, about the research journey and the address of increasing accessibility to landlocked areas for land owners. 

She then spoke to Professor Margaret Mutu, who spoke on the report from the wider historical colonial context of the ability of Tangata Whenua to access their land. Margaret particularly highlighted the discrepancies between Pākeha landowners and Māori in their legal and physical abilities to access and utilise land under their ownership with ease.

Both perspectives provide valuable insight into the background and significance of the report.
