Recently, Stats NZ released their findings for August 2024s employment indicators.

The statistics show that younger New Zealanders, between the ages of 15 - 30, are struggling to get into the job market, as employers continuously choose those from older age demographics.

News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Chief Executive and Principal Economist at Infometrics, Brad Olsen, about these findings, and why it is so difficult for young people to enter the job market here in Aotearoa.

Featuring Fashun with Penelope Noir, an interview with The Hard Quartet around the release of their debut album, and Loose Reads with the lovely folks at Time Out Bookstore. Whakarongo mai nei ~

A total of 149 projects have been selected for fast tracking through the government's new Fast-track Approvals Bill.

There’s a variety of projects on the list, in sectors including farming, infrastructure, energy, and mining. 

The bill has been contentious since its introduction, with many concerns surrounding its potential effects on the environment. 19 projects on the list are mining related, with many of them successfully opposed in the past by environmental agencies, and even the supreme court. 

For their weekly catch up Producer Evie spoke to the ACT Party’s Simon Court about the newly unveiled list, and why some of these projects have been included on it. 

They also talked about emails to David Seymours office that were revealed by Newsroom last week, showing the party leader was invited to King Tuheitias Koroneihana earlier this year, despite repeated claims he did not receive an invite.

Lee's away this week but there's a great show nonetheless!
