The Prime Minister believes a major Commonwealth diplomatic summit does have a future, with certain priorities. Christopher Luxon joined his Commonwealth counterparts for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, held this year in Samoa. King Charles and Queen Camilla also attended. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking it was a good opportunity to meet leaders from the Caribbean and Africa who he doesn't see as often and build some relationships with them. He says it has to be focused back on development and democracy, building the capacity of public services in developing states, and getting rid of corruption. When it comes to Kiwibank, the Prime Minister says it needs to be fired up as the maverick in the banking sector. Treasury's advised ministers of three options to boost Kiwibank's capital to better compete with the Australian-owned banks. They include borrowing money for Crown investment, third party investment, or an Initial Public Offering on the share market. It comes after the Commerce Commission market study on personal banking. Luxon told Hosking he hasn't seen the advice, so doesn't yet have a view on the best option. He says one of the options is the stock exchange, and they could also seek Super Funds or other funds to invest. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Leaders from around the world gathered this week in Samoa for the Commonwealth Head of Government Meeting.

Luxon also announced the New Zealand Government will contribute $20 million for the Pacific Resilience Facility, to help the Pacific prepare for natural disasters and support resilience against climate change.

On the night of September 26, 2014, and into the next day, municipal, state, and federal police officers, alongside soldiers from the Mexican Army and members of the criminal syndicate Guerreros Unidos attacked six buses in the city of Iguala, five of which had been had been temporarily commandeered by students of the Ayotzinapa Rural Teachers' College to travel to Mexico City in order to commemorate the October 2 anniversary of the 1968 Tlatelolco massacre. Today, you'll hear part 2 of this interview, where Ann continues our conversation to expand on how the AMLO government decided to kill the high-level investigation into the Ayotzinapa case as higher level state and military involvement came into clearer view, and how parents and families of the students marked the 10th anniversary of the disappareance of their children last month. Ann is based in Mexico City, and covers politics and culture in Mexico for international English-language media.

In just one week's time 56 countries will come together for The Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Samoa. Preparations have been four years in the making, with businesses stock pilling supplies, villages decorated in each country's colours and a huge community effort to be ready to host. It's hoped that the sinking of the HMNZS Manawanui earlier this month won't overshadow the event. The Chogm meeting comes off the back of the Lotu Tamaiti White Sunday public holiday, which has for the past two days seen families out celebrating - singing, dancing and of course eating. Reporter Louise Ternouth is in Samoa and filed this report.

Gareth, Fletcher and Kathryn talk about the Manawanui sinking, the upcoming CHOGM meeting and NZ First's annual conference.

Just a couple of weeks ago, I went out to Devonport for a picnic with some friends and remember pointing out the Manawanui to our kids as we crossed the harbour on the ferry. "Look guys, that's our Navy!" Obviously, it's a great relief that everyone is okay and was able to disembark in time, and I accept it'll be some time before we learn everything about what happened. But it's hard to look past what is - from the outside - a profoundly embarrassing accident for New Zealand's Defence Force, and our country at large. Shit happens, but the time and place really couldn't be much worse. Just 24 hours before the ship hit the reef, Defence Ministers from across the Pacific were meeting in Auckland to establish a new Pacific Response Group, a multilateral force that will respond to future disasters. With AUKUS and tensions over China's ambitions in the region, the Australian Defence Minister was plain when I asked him about New Zealand's military assets. "A more capable New Zealand is very much in Australia's interests" he told me, at the end of last week. Oof. What's more, in just two weeks, leaders from across the Commonwealth's 56 member nations will be meeting for the bi-ennial CHOGM meeting in - you guessed it - Samoa. You hate to think what sightseeing they'll do with a couple of hours' free time. So what now? It's absolutely critical, vitally important, that we do everything humanly possible to reduce the environmental impact of this incident. Everything. Every bit of kit we have available needs to be used. Every resource. And most importantly, there cannot be any quibbling over the cost of this response and recovery. We have to sincerely do the right thing by Samoa, and that's not going to come cheap. As much of the World pours resources into defence assets, time and again, ours are proving unfit for purpose. Whether it's the woeful state of defence force housing, the perennially stranded 757s, or the Manawanui... The credibility of our Defence Force has taken an almighty battering in the last few years. But as we respond to this crisis, the credibility of our nation is on the line, too. We had better step up. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Queen travelled to WA seven times during her reign, and Perth was the last Australian city she ever visited. That was in 2011, when Colin Barnett was the Premier and he hosted Her Majesty for three days in Perth before CHOGM, while also meeting her at Buckingham Palace too to discuss CHOGM preparations. As he tells Liam Bartlett on 6PR Mornings, he told the Queen the Perth foreshore was to be redeveloped and named after her. "It was there that I wanted to raise [the naming of Elizabeth Quay], but I was advised by the Brits and the Australian embassy in Perth that we should do it more formally."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Julia Gillard was the first and, to date, only female Australian Prime Minister. As Prime Minister and in her previous role as Deputy Prime Minister, Gillard was central to the successful management of Australia’s economy during the Global Financial Crisis and as Australia positioned to seize the benefits of Asia’s rise.  Gillard developed Australia’s guiding policy paper, Australia in the Asian Century. She delivered nation- changing policies including reforming Australia education at every level from early childhood to university education, creating an emissions trading scheme, improving the provision and sustainability of health care, aged care and dental care, commencing the nation’s first ever national scheme to care for people with disabilities and restructuring the telecommunications sector as well as building a national broadband network.   In foreign policy, Gillard strengthened Australia’s alliance with the United States, secured stronger architecture for the relationship with China, upgraded Australia’s ties with India, and deepened ties with Japan, Indonesia and South Korea. Gillard has represented Australia at the G20, including winning Australia’s right to host the 2014 meeting, the East Asia Summit, APEC, NATO-ISAF and chaired CHOGM. Under Gillard’s leadership, Australia was elected to serve on the United Nations Security Council.   In 2014, Gillard was appointed chair of the Global Partnership for Education, a leading organization dedicated to expanding access and quality education worldwide.   In February 2015, Gillard was appointed Chancellor of Dūcere, Australia’s leading education provider for business and management courses from Diploma levels through to a world’s first MBA program. On her appointment Gillard said ‘the connection between higher education, industry and government is vital to the future success of academic institutions. So too are the links between academic underpinning and real world learning at all levels of education which is one of the main reasons for my involvement with Ducere’
