For our monthly catch up with the Labour Party, Rosetta and Milly chat with Carmel Sepuloni about the Government's proposal to scrap Fees Free, changes to Climate Law announced yesterday, and the latest split in Te Pāti Māori. Whakarongo mai nei!

Last week the government announced plans to scrap the Broadcasting Standards Authority, the entity that serves to ensure television, radio, and internet broadcasters remain accountable to members of the public. While the government saysit trusts broadcasters to self regulate, it's unclear what this regulation could look like, especially without the all encompassing BSA to ensure that a universal standard is met.  In addition, ACT Party Leader David Seymour has expressed dismay at some of the recent publications by state funded broadcasters TVNZ and RNZ. Since Seymour is one of the ministers responsible for appointing the board for each organisation, his comments and criticisms are being compared to threats of censorship.  Lastly, the government has announced a new test for prospective immigrants to New Zealand, which would see them quizzed over topics relating to New Zealand values, our Bill of Rights, and our system of government. While the government is proposing this standard of knowledge for immigrants, many New Zealand citizens could be unable to answer the questions.  For this weeks catchup with the National Party's Ryan Hamilton, News Director Castor asked about these topics, beginning with the BSA.

On the 1st of April, a cruise ship departed from the port of Ushuaia, in the far South of Argentina, carrying 175 passengers and crewmembers. Within a week, the first symptoms of the hantavirus infection began to show. A 70 year old Dutch man died onboard, becoming the first fatality of this outbreak, and his wife died not long after. With the death of a German woman in early May, the death toll now stands at three. The surviving passengers, who come from 23 different nationalities, have finally disembarked the ship in the Netherlands, and most have gone back to their home countries where they will go now through a period of quarantine To discuss the specifics of the hantavirus outbreak, producer Toby spoke to infectious disease expert and public science communicator Siouxsie Wiles.

Last weekend, Forever Tomorrow: Chinese Art Now opened at Auckland Art Gallery Toi o Tāmaki. Curated by Hutch Wilco, the exhibition is the first major survey of Chinese contemporary art to be shown in Aotearoa.  Split into four connected themes, and showing 67 works by 42 artists and collectives, Forever Tomorrow traverses through four decades of accelerated major transformation in China, examining the experiences of artists from China's Reform and opening up in 1978 to the present day.  The first theme, Stones From Other Mountains, explores artists' experiments with the body as action, the instability of language, and the capacity of photography, performance, and moving image to propose realities post-Reform. In the second, People Mountain People Sea, artists are seen turning their attention to the ground beneath their feet: connecting with the land amongst the changing landscapes around them and a period of mass migration to China's cities. The third, Tender Revolutions, looks inward to private lives, attitudes towards intimacy and sexuality, and personal expression. And the fourth and final, In the Clouded Realms, sees artists addressing the architecture of the internet and the behaviours it elicits, navigating the rapidly developing digital era. Merging China's history and the lived experiences of these artists, the works in Forever Tomorrow seek to subvert the idea of China as exceptional, proposing, rather, a shared global experience, that of living in a state of forever tomorrow.  Sof caught up with curator of the show, Hutch Wilco, about Forever Tomorrow: Chinese Art Now and his curatorial process.

Antonia Barnett McIntosh is a Tāmaki-based Composer, performer, sound artist, editor and curator. Her multidisciplinary practice often seeks out various modes of connection through collaboration. Collaborating between the threshold spaces of speech/music, performance/rehearsal, composition/writing. Drawing connections between mediums, finding this  mutual thread between artistic outputs to build upon. Often working with musicians, dancers, poets, visual artists, and Filmmakers.  In her current exhibition at RM, A Ponder of Transported Local Delicacies Barnett McIntosh presents a beautiful sound installation which comprises captured moments of field recordings, and speech. Applying this musical thought to speech, that approaches speech as an instrument in istelf—tunning into its inherent musicality. Reflecting on this in-between state of the live and the documented dwelling in one's mind and body.  The sound work itself is dispersed across four channels, creating a dynamic sonic landscape that morphs and shifts, as one moves around the space. Alongside the sound installation Barnett McIntosh offers this secondary mode of documentation within the show text, through a piece of writing, by writer Lisa Samuels. Samuels will also be involved in a collaborative activation of the gallery space with Barnett McIntosh, through a series of performances. Emphasising the active liveliness of the gallery space and the circulative artistic discourse.  Maya caught up with Antonia about the show, as well as her overall practice.

Last week saw public transport usage in Auckland reach a 7 year high, on account of high fuel prices across the country. While high usage bodes well for public transport, the network is facing difficulties around overcrowding. In addition, Auckland Transport is pushing for central government support to lower fares, which ministers have rejected.  Auckland Council has also conducted a review into its resource management consenting processes, and found multiple spots for improvement. And central government has announced dog control law reforms, which Auckland Council has welcomed given its extensive existing operations in animal control. To discuss each of these issues, News Director Castor spoke to Councillor Shane Henderson.

Zac Langdon-Pole is a Tāmaki-based artist whose primarily sculptural-based practice explores contrasting concepts and imagery, proposing unlikely juxtapositions into these often hybrid forms.  His current solo exhibition at Lett Thomas Gallery, Caterpillar Soup,  presents a series of jigsaw puzzle collages, whereby the artist has placed the pieces of puzzles to make these combined collaged images. Imagery of warfare, volcanic matter, nature, and diagnostic imaging melded together, creating this almost pixelated, technological material language, the works question what these juxtaposing forms could mean in conversation with each other.  Sof caught up with Zac about the show at Lett Thomas and his wider practice. They also touched briefly on his project currently showing at the Domain Wintergardens titled Memory Garden (The Kiss).

After a hiatus following their first release in 2019, Young Baptist are back with new material. The Tāmaki Makaurau four-piece is comprised of vocalist and guitarist Hugo Collins, drummer Emlyn Williams, Tim Burrows on lead guitar, and Nico Fitzpatrick on bass. Whakarongo mai nei to hear their forthcoming singles, plus a live version of a tune familiar to bFM listeners, Ice Cold Sensation. Keep an ear out for more recorded tunes set for release this year.  Brought to you by NZ On Air Music

Anto Yeldezian is a Tāmaki-based artist of Armenian heritage, who works amongst an expanded painting practice that often leans into methodologies of printmaking. Utilising methods of monoprinting, and stencils, along with a playful use of paint and material exploration. Within his current solo show Desert Island on at Coastal Signs, Yeldezian presents a series of 7 large scale works on raw loose canvas. Installed in a manner in which the works almost engulf the gallery walls, and bring the space into a continuous field of symbols, and marks.  The works themselves harness this heavy use of motifs, and symbols as a kind of centering point to the show. The references include camels, palm trees, oil pump-jacks, Homer Simpson's thirsty bird'; ancient fossils, the triple Gs of Canterbury Clothing Company, union jacks and logos of American defence and oil companies.  Through the making of the work Yeldezian takes these symbols and applies them to various painterly techniques that almost pull them away from their own inherent meanings/references and into this place of a pattern-like language with its own set of meanings. Maya caught up with Anto about the show as well as his overall practice.
