Lucia chats to Mark Bowen of IDLES and catches up on what's been happening since their last trip to Aotearoa, whakarongo mai nei!

The Asia-Pacific Economic Co-operation (APEC) forum occured last week with the United States in attendance. The 21 nations discussed issues of free trade and climate change impact in the region.

The United States has also shifted their foreign policy on Ukraine, allowing the use of their missiles in Russia. 

Meanwhile, Donald Trump has received scrutiny for unconventional cabinet picks over the past week. The most controversial of these is Attorney-General nominee Matt Gaetz, who is under investigation by the House ethics committee for drug use, misuse of campaign funds, and allegations of sexual misconduct.

Wire Host Caeden speaks to Andre Fa'oso from the Yale Daily News about all of these topics for State of the States.

Earlier this week, the nine-day trek that was Hīkoi mō te Tiriti made it to its final destination, the grounds of Parliament. 

The hīkoi was in response to a myriad of policies from the National, ACT, and NZ First coalition government regarding Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi, including the ACT Party’s highly controversial Treaty Principles Bill, and sought to highlight how te Tiriti unites Aotearoa through kotahitanga. 

Producer Sofia spoke to renowned Māori activist and artist, Tāme Iti, about the overall energy on the hīkoi, the support for its kaupapa, and the message he thinks it sent to the coalition. 

Wire Hosts Caeden and Castor were at the hīkoi in Te Whanganui-a-Tara on Tuesday. They spoke to Tangata Whenua, Tangata Moana, and Tangata Tiriti about why they were there, also asking protestors if they had a message for ACT leader David Seymour, who brought the Bill to Parliament.

Oto spoke to Professor of Māori studies at the University of Auckland - Margaret Mutu of Ngāti Kahu, Te Rarawa and Ngāti Whātua descent, to discuss the treaty principles bill and why it generated such a strong reaction from those in attendance at the Hīkoi.

Margaret is an expert on Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and says that ACT’s treaty principles bill would reinterpret Te Tiriti in a way that would undermine the rights of Māori and tangata whenua.
