The Far North faces another summer without its vital lifeline, State Highway One through the Mangamuka Gorge to Kaitaia. The gorge has been closed on and off for three years due to extreme weather causing cracks and slips. That means for the past sixteen months visitors and residents have been forced to take the long way around; detouring onto state highway ten via Kerikeri and Kaeo to Awanui and then on to state highway one to Kaitaia. Due to ongoing land movement and yet more slips, Waka Kotahi recently revised the reopening date to late 2024. Andrea Panther from the Kaitaia Business Association speaks to Lisa Owen.

Workers at the country's biggest private laboratory provider are picketing on Friday as a dragged out pay dispute remains unresolved. Awanui Labs runs most of the community and hospital medical laboratories in the South Island and Wellington District. Lab workers at Awanui are paid 30 percent less than their Te Whatu Ora counterparts following last month's pay rises for government lab workers. APEX union lead advocate David Munro spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The small town of Awanui in the far north of the country is in celebration mood after it was named "Most Beautiful Tiny Town" at the Keep New Zealand Beautiful Awards. With a population of less than 400 people, the small town came out on top following a huge community effort to revitalise itself. To find out how they did it, we're joined now by resident, business owner and unofficial mayor Bill Subritzky.

Forget the election - in one corner of the Far North, the only contest that matters is the one to decide which town will be judged the most beautiful in Aotearoa. Reporter Peter de Graaf pays a visit to Awanui as awards night approaches.

Medical technicians and scientists at one of the country's largest laboratory service providers will walk off the job today in Wellington and the South Island, demanding a better pay offer from Awanui. The company has more than $700 million worth of public contracts with Te Whatu Ora and is half-owned by the government superannuation fund. Among other things the workers take blood, cross-match transfusions, run urgent lab services and test for everything from cancers, to meningitis and covid. The strike action is being organised by the APEX union. Senior lab scientist Rachel Roth spoke to Charlotte Cook

Victoria Young joins Kathryn as BusinessDesk launches an investigation into the money behind our rubbish. It examines where exactly our waste goes and who stands to profit. She'll also discuss Awanui, our biggest lab provider, which says it won't pay dividends for more than two years, as its lab workers prepare to strike.

Working as a meat packer is more attractive than the long hours, poor pay and stress of working in a medical laboratory. That's according to a senior scientist who is leaving the profession after almost two decades.. And she says other colleagues have already bailed for hospitality and fast food jobs. Medical technicians and scientists employed by one of the country's largest laboratory service providers will walk off the job tomorrow and Thursday in Wellington and the South Island after a break down in contract talks with parent company Awanui. Among other things the workers take blood, cross match transfusions, staff urgent lab services and test for everything from cancers, to meningitis and covid. Elaine Booker is a medical laboratory scientist at an Awanui lab based in Southland Hospital, Invercargill. She's resigned, and is counting down the days until her last shift.

Medical workers employed by one of the country's largest laboratory service providers will walk off the job next week, in Hawkes Bay, Wellington and the South Island after a break down in pay talks. The labs are warning there will be delays for patients; despite contingency arrangements for critical or life preserving services. The technicians and scientists process tests for everything from cancers to kidney and liver function,and of course COVID-19. The strike follows a stand-off between the lab service's privately owned parent company Awanui and workers covered by the APEX union. APEX says the average wage increase claim across the lab professions is about 23 percent. Next week, different specialty staff will walk off the job on Wednesday and Thursday with more strikes planned for the following Monday and Tuesday. New Zealand Institute of Medical Laboratory Science president, Terry Taylor, spoke to Lisa Owen. In a statement from Awanui group on behalf of its lab services it says its disappointed the union initiated stike action after a single day of bargaining and it will be tabling a package next week. "The industrial action will affect laboratory services in Wellington, Nelson, Christchurch, South Canterbury, Otago, and Southland regions and will mean delays to services, or no services at all, in most of these regions. Blood testing in the community will be severely impacted across the South Island and some regions will not have community collection services available from 12 to 18 July." It says the priority will be ensuring those who are seriously ill still receive the critical, life preserving services they need.

The country's most powerful medical laboratory group, half owned by the government, is proposing to slash the medical lab workforce in the upper South Island. Awanui, which is worth half a billion dollars, has told staff in Nelson the move is part of centralising its nationwide services to make them "sustainable". Union organiser David Munro is from APEX, a specialist union for allied, scientific and technical employees in New Zealand.

76-year old dog attack victim Chris Radich wants the Far North District Council to take tougher action against the owner of the animal that left him bleeding and traumatised while walking his own dog in the town of Awanui. The dog responsible for the attack was surrendered and euthanised and the owner's been fined for non-registration and failure to control his animal. But Chris Radich says there should be stronger deterrents against those who own dangerous dogs. He joins us now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The weather front affecting large parts of the country has caused flooding, washouts and slips. There have been evacuations in Northland, while in Nelson there were more evacuations late yesterday. In the Far North where the weather has closed multiple roads, many people are without power and some people have been evacuated from homes in Kaitaia. Kaeo is the worst hit area from the flooding, but the council is keeping a close eye on Awanui, Moerewa, Rangiahua and Kohukohu. Top Energy has outages at seven locations throughout the Far North. RNZ's reporter Finn Blackwell is in Kaeo and spoke to Susie Ferguson.

This session from Going West 2011 is based on an exhibition and subsequent award winning publication Words Between Us -  He Kōrero by Alison Jones and Kuni Kaa Jenkins, which won the 2012 Ngā Kupu Ora Māori Book Awards.  Both the exhibition and the book traced the first Māori conversations on paper from 1769  to 1835. As the authors' wrote, “it is hard to imagine the shock experienced by Māori who first heard written words spoken in the local language. The startling fact about writing was that Pākehā marks could ‘say' Māori words; Pākehā texts could have Māori meaning.” As the speakers note, the first book ever printed in New Zealand was in Māori.  Alison Jones is a professor at Te Puna Wānanga, the School of Māori and Indigenous Education, University of Auckland and was awarded the NZARE McKenzie Award in December 2011 for her significant contribution to educational research. She has worked with Māori scholars and students in the field of education for 25 years and has a fascination with the complexities of Māori and Pākehā educational relationships. She has written a number of books in the area of sociology of education and Māori education. Kuni Jenkins is a professor with Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi where she teaches and conducts research. She has had a long-term interest in literacy, and her PhD involved archival study of early Māori written documents and the relationships between Māori and Pākehā. She has written a number of books in the area of sociology of education and Māori education. The session is introduced by Rose Yukich, a Going West Trustee and academic at the University of Auckland.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has announced drought relief measures totalling $10 million during a visit to Kaitaia yesterday afternoon.Around $3 million of the funding will be spent in Northland.The new measures are aimed at drought-hit communities right across the North Island, all of which was this morning declared as being in the grip of a ''large scale adverse event'' by Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor.The Northland drought was officially declared on February 12.Last week's rain made little impression on Northland pastures. Photo / John StoneArdern arrived at Kaitaia airport about 1.15pm for a whistle-stop tour of the Far North's big dry.Accompanied by MPs, Far North District Council and Civil Defence officials, the Prime Minister visited a dairy farm at Awanui, emergency water tanks at Te Ahu, and a council pumping station at Bonnett Rd in Kaitaia.They then proceeded to a council water treatment plant on Okahu Rd west of town.A pipeline is currently being built from a bore on farmland owned by Te Hiku iwi Te Rarawa and Ngāi Takoto to the Okahu Rd plant.Ardern said the rural sector across the North Island was currently ''doing it tough''.''Water is running low across the board – for drinking supplies, the primary sector and firefighting storage – and we will help our communities to get through it," she said.The funding package includes:■ $10m to respond to immediate needs such as delivering water for consumption, sanitation, wastewater systems, stock welfare and horticulture.■ $421,000 to extend Rural Assistance Payments, which can be used to buy water.■ $2m to support farmers and growers across the North Island, parts of the South Island and the Chathams.The government had previously given $2m from the Provincial Growth Fund to set up temporary water supplies for Kaitaia and Kaikohe.Two emergency supplies in Kaitaia are thought to be days away from completion. A temporary pipeline and pumps from iwi-owned Lake Ōmāpere to Wairoro Stream, which provides Kaikohe's water supply, is awaiting district health board sign-off.While parts of Northland have had rain in the past week it was not enough to break the drought or end the total fire ban.Rain on the scale required is not forecast until May.Civil Defence Minister Peeni Henare, who hails from the Mid North and is also visiting Kaitaia today, said the longer extreme drought conditions continued, the greater the threat to water supplies."Northland is particularly vulnerable with severe water restrictions already in place, a high number of people on water tanks, and significant areas of deprivation. We must act now to have the systems and support in place to assist communities already stressed by drought conditions and the associated water shortages,'' he said.Level 4 restrictions, which allow water to be used for essential purposes only, are currently in place in Kaitaia, Kaikohe, Paihia-Waitangi-Ōpua, Kawakawa-Moerewa, Rawene-Omanaia, and all of the Kaipara.Local Government Minister Nanaia Mahuta said providing water for human consumption and sanitation was the highest priority."I'd like to acknowledge the efforts of councils to support their communities to date. With this initiative we envisage working with local councils and suppliers in Northland and other affected areas to deliver targeted solutions as required."While the funding announced today is intended to address immediate water-supply issues, it also provides a timely opportunity to advance our conversations with councils about developing sustainable, resilient water service delivery models,'' Mahuta said.

Wednesday 25 of November and the 2nd of December 2015 Eruera Mānuera by Te Onehou Phillis Matua Wiremu-Huta and Professor Taiarahia Black on the 25 November and including the 2nd of November on tumekefm96.9 will continue their discussions of the foundational Ngāti Awa publication of Eruera Mānuera by his daughter Te Onehou Phillis. The narratives in this publication continue to affirm for the readers, and for Eruera when he was speaking anywhere on the marae and at Ringatū 12th he must have been an innovative, engaging speaker. The chapter contents and context-narratives compiled by Te Onehou aims to recover the aspirations and visions of these rich tapestry of historical sources which could have otherwise, have little public record. It can be said for these types of publications, memory is the only way of discovering the past integrated into the richness of the present context. The individual narratives recounted in this publication are more than personal statements. They are language rich reo literacy-related knowledge and scholarship, where emerging readers and writers in the reo will do more than process information; but add to their own-read reo-led experience, engaging in existing and new knowledge accumulated over a life time devotion to Ngāti Awa whakapapa, whānau, hapū and the many marae of Ngāti Awa, mount Pūtauaki, Te Kooti Ārikirangi Te Tūruki and the hāhi Ringatū. The publication by Te Onehou Phillis highlighted in its rich reading and its explanation, primarily lies in the fact, that the words of Eruera Mānuera, his narrative work, its content and value deserve a wider reo audience to integrate and apply the imaginative sources of information from this publication. Every chapter attempts to follow its own Ngāti Awa historical discourse and structure, and it informs the application of the nature of living oral history. At its heart is a continues narrative about language historical sources; the structure of meaning and writing using familiar and not so familiar phrases, terms and individual style of expression.
