This  episode brings together  Karl Le Quesne, Chief Electoral Officer, Electoral Commission, Glenys Talivai, Chief Executive Officer, Public Trust, Megan Main, CEO, ACC, NZ, Jo Healey, VP, Customer, Fujitsu to examine the core elements shaping government to 2032 — from innovation and iwi partnership to the rise of AI and the evolution of citizen experience. Together, they unpack how these forces are redefining what modern public service delivery looks like, and what it will take to ensure New Zealand's digital transformation remains on track. The discussion explores the public sector's digital roadmap, the role of innovation in lifting productivity, and how meaningful engagement with iwi will guide equitable transformation. Panellists also look ahead to the major digital initiatives on the horizon and how these will change government operations over the next decade. With a focus on designing citizen-centric services and understanding AI's growing influence, the panel outlines what must happen now to prepare Aotearoa for the next generation of public service.   Karl Le Quesne, Chief Electoral Officer, Electoral Commission, Glenys Talivai, Chief Executive Officer, Public Trust, Megan Main, CEO, ACC, NZ, Jo Healey, VP, Customer, Fujitsu For more great insights head to www.PublicSectorNetwork.co  

INTERVIEW: PONZ on new album 'When It's Late' by Zac Hoffman on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

The 1990s in New Zealand have dawned with images of harmony projected to the world, but longstanding divisions still acute at home. The Bolger government comes to power promising to uphold the Treaty and provide redress for injustice.  Negotiations over the Sealords fishery quota and with two of Aotearoa's largest iwi, Waikato Tainui and Ngāi Tahu face pushback from all directions: in cabinet and the National Party base, from the public, and within te ao Māori, where the concept of the “fiscal envelope” is widely considered anathema.  Plus: how Jim Bolger outmanoeuvered Ruth Richardson on Te Papa. The fifth episode of Juggernaut 2: The Story of the Fourth National Government includes new and exclusive interviews with Jim Bolger, Anake Goodall, Doug Graham, Tau Henare, Jenny Shipley and more.  Click here for full details of archive material used in this series Juggernaut 2 was made with the support of NZ On Air.

in questo primo episodio della nuova serie Solitudine: voci dall'estero, i curatori Elia Bressanello, Laura Crippa e Giulio Pitroso esplorano le molteplici sfaccettature della solitudine, con un focus specifico sull'esperienza migratoria. Non solo un racconto personale, ma un'analisi critica e interdisciplinare: Elia dialoga con Giulio, sociologo, e Laura, letterata, per decostruire il fenomeno attraverso lenti tecniche e culturali. Questo episodio pilota getta le basi per un viaggio che, in ogni puntata successiva, affronterà la solitudine con l'aiuto di un esperto diverso, unendo scienze umane e scientifiche per una comprensione più profonda di un'esperienza universale.

"Keep marlin and reef fish off the menu," That's the message from recreational fishers as the government plans to let commercial fishing companies keep and sell bycatch, that right now can't be used. Fisheries New Zealand is proposing 19 regulation changes, which include dropping protections for marlin and 19 reef-fish species outside the Quota Management System. The changes would mean the dead fish could be sold for profit. Advocates say it's putting a target on Aotearoa's vunerable and slow-growing species and will further diminish our already dwindling public fishery. Bella Craig reports.

Rosetta and Milly chat with UK-born, Aotearoa-raised, LA-based singer and songwriter Ny Oh - to chat about her stunning debut album Wildwood. Whakarongo mai nei!

Today I'm sharing the story of Steve and Sarah, a UK couple who, many years ago, packed up their lives, moved to Aotearoa, and built a really solid financial life together. From the get-go, they've been a great team with money: well-educated, curious, hard-working, and brave enough to take big leaps when the chance came along. Over the years, they've invested in property, shares, and themselves, learning plenty along the way. Like many of us, they've had a few financial detours, several property disasters, but their long-term habit of saving and investing has quietly set them up for a strong and flexible future as they approach retirement in their late 50s. This conversation is full of insights from Steve's engineer's brain, the steady teamwork he and Sarah share, and the real-life curveballs that have made them rethink what matters most. It's an honest, practical story about the power of keeping things simple, staying curious, and building the kind of financial life that lets you enjoy today, while still planning for tomorrow. Whenever I pick up the phone for a kōrero with someone like Steve, I know I'm in for a detailed chat, and he didn't disappoint, and I'm sure that those listening will be able to pull out little nuggets of wisdom from the information he shared.

Last week saw the release of the Global Tobacco Interference Index. In it, Aotearoa ranked 53rd in the world - a whopping 52 places down from two years ago. This ranking two years ago was reflective of our robust anti-smoking laws - since the current coalition government has repealed them, however, that reputation has come seriously into question. These rankings now serve as a warning about the role that the tobacco industry plays in health policy, and New Zealand's failure to manage smoking and tobacco lobbying. Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Professor of Public Health at the University of Auckland, Chris Bullen, about the ranking, Tobacco influence in the government, and what it says about Smoking in New Zealand as a whole.
