Pro-Palestine protestors are set to march across the Harbour Bridge in Auckland on Saturday.

Last week, Te Paati Māori’s Oriini Kaipara won the Tāmaki Makaurau by-election, beating Labour’s Peeni Henare.

And this year’s Pacific Islands Forum is taking place this week in the Solomon Islands.

For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke with Shanan Halbert about all of these issues. 

Earlier this week, Green Party MP Benjamin Doyle (Ngāpuhi) resigned from Parliament.

They cited concerns for their safety following receiving ‘hate, vitriol and threats of real-world violence.”

Earlier this year, research found online threats of physical and sexual violence have caused Members of Parliament to feel ‘fearful, anxious and distressed.’

Wire Host Caeden spoke to Senior Lecturer in Law at the University of Canterbury, Cassandra Mudgway, about this issue and potential solutions.

E.U.G., what does it stand for? Whakarongo mai nei to find out and also catch a blistering set by the Pōneke post-punk quartet before they head up Karangahape Road to support Goya on the Auckland leg of the tour across the motu.

The government has recently announced the specifics of the ‘shakeup’ of Auckland Transport.

This follows the plan, which was first announced in December last year, to introduce new legislation that would strip Auckland Transport of a lot of the entity’s power.

The changes will result in Auckland Council overseeing major decisions regarding transport, that will be split between the major, 20 councillors, and local boards.

As well as this, a new Auckland Regional Transport committee will be established, that will include councillors, government appointee’s, and an independent chair, to work on a 30-year transportation plan.

The bill is set to have its first reading next month, and is expected to pass into law by March next year.

For City Counselling this week, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey about this topic.

Recently, the United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, RFK Jr, has cancelled over $500 million US dollars, roughly equating to $851 million New Zealand dollars, worth of federal funding for the mRNA vaccine.

News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to John Fraser, the former Dean of Faculty of Medical Sciences and current research professor in the Department of Molecular Medicine and Pathology at the University of Auckland, about this cancellation of funding, and the claims RFK Jr has made regarding the vaccine, which Fraser has described as ‘ill-informed nonsense’.

Here is that interview.
