Currently, a lot of animal products imported into the country are coming from countries with animal welfare standards behind those of Aotearoa, such as in the US and China.

In a report released earlier this year by Animal Policy International, findings show that 60% of all pork eaten in the country comes from overseas.

In light of these concerns, a petition will be delivered to Parliament tomorrow, aiming to better regulate imports of animal products into the country to fit our standards.

News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Marcelo Rodriguez Ferrere, an Associate Professor in the Faculty of Law at the University of Auckland about this, and what he hopes comes out of this petition.

Recently, the government has announced banning voting rights for all prisoners.

This changes previous legislation implemented by the former Labour government in 2020 - allowing prisoners serving a sentence less than three years the right to vote.

Previously, in 2015, the High Court ruled that a blanket approach to banning voting rights for prisoners goes against the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act.

For our weekly catch up, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Te Pāti Māori’s Takutai Kemp about this move, and how the party is feeling about it.

They also discussed the party’s calls for significantly more funding for Whakaata Māori in Budget 2025, as well as Cabinet agreeing to recommendations to the ECE, or early childhood education, sector.

But first, they discussed the blanket ban on prisoners voting.
