Gus T. continues his cinematic odyssey through the 2025 Seattle International Film Festival. He had the pleasure of viewing the New Zealand film TINÃ, and then filmmaker Miki Magasiva and actor Beulah Koale were generous enough to share a bit of their time and insight with Gus while visiting North America. We discussed the challenges that Samoan filmmakers face in New Zealand and why Magasiva helped create The Brown Factory. Gus made a colossal error, originally thinking Anapela Polataivao's character lost her daughter during the 2019 Racist massacre at Christchurch. In the film, her daughter is one of the nearly 200 victims of the 2011 earthquake in the same region. This notwithstanding, the System of White Supremacy is a major theme of the film, and Magasiva and Beulah detail how this film honestly reflects the racial power dynamics of New Zealand in 2025. They each shared with Gus that although there are few people classified as black in New Zealand, the non-white people native to the area are routinely targeted with anti-black racist abuse. We also make time for critical dialog on mental health and suicide.

A couple of blockbuster kiwi derbies could well determine how the remainder of the Super season shapes up, while the Black ferns clash with the Canadians in Christchurch. Sports reporter Jonty Dine spoke to Lisa Owen.

“It's like making a silk purse out of a pig's ear.” That's a quote from the boss at Transporting New Zealand, which represents the transport sector, talking about Brougham Street in Christchurch. Because it's been revealed by NZTA that the $150 million revamp of Brougham Street, one of Christchurch's busiest streets, will include T2 transit lanes – which the truckies are brassed-off about because they won't be able to use them. And I'm with the truckies. I think it's nuts that on a street like Brougham Street —which is a pig's ear of a road if ever there was one— we're going to go all “rules are rules” on it and not do something that I think would make a genuine difference. As the truckies do as well. So these transit lanes, or T2 lanes, can only be used by vehicles carrying more than one person. They've been on the Northern Motorway since 2021. There is a stretch of T2 that trucks can use there, on the Tram Road on-ramp near the Waimakariri Bridge. It's probably just to make it easier for them to turn onto the motorway, but don't go telling us NZTA that you can't do the same on Brougham Street because it “might set a precedent”. So Dom Kalasih from Transporting New Zealand says Brougham Street is a pig of a road and Scott McAlister from logistics company Mackleys says traffic congestion there is “bad and getting worse”. He says: “All the improvements are focused on pedestrians and cyclists. That's fine. But it needs to conjointly be done with freight.” Tell that to some people living in the area though, who are happy that the T2 lanes will mean the trucks being closer to the middle of the road and not travelling so close to the footpath. I understand where they're coming from but the bigger picture, surely, has to be getting that stretch of road moving – especially the trucks. And I know rules are rules, but I reckon Brougham Street is a special case. And truckies should, of course, be allowed to use these transit lanes. It's a key link for freight and it makes no sense to keep them stuck in the slow lanes. Forty-five thousand vehicles use Brougham Street each day —trucks make up 10% percent of them— and the truckies are saying it adds 30 minutes to their trip. Which I think is a very compelling argument for bending the rules. If not bending the rules, then re-writing them. You only need to travel on a bus in one of those bus lanes to get an idea of how much quicker trucks could get through in a T2 lane. I know they would be sharing the lanes with other vehicles —unlike the buses which have the bus lanes to themselves— but it's worth a go, isn't it? The other part of this is that NZTA is going to have to make sure that these new transit lanes on Brougham Street are policed. You might have seen it reported earlier this week that the T2 lanes on the Northern Motorway haven't been policed since they opened four years ago. Which means people are sailing through when they shouldn't be. So there will need to be monitoring and enforcement on Brougham Street, otherwise the T2 lanes will be a complete waste of time. They'll also be a complete waste of time if trucks aren't allowed to use them. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I'd love to know what Labour are saying behind closed doors about the Green Party's alternative Budget released today. I mean, they're playing nice in public - but behind closed doors, they must be tearing their hair out because this is next level crazy. I mean, none of it is a surprise. It is full of exactly the kind of utopian, money grows on trees, when-I-grow-up-I-want-to-be-a-unicorn kind of stuff that we expect from the Greens. There is a wealth tax, there is an increased tax for companies, there are two new personal tax rates, there's a private jet tax, an inheritance tax, there's doubling the bright-line test to bring in more capital gains tax, and a doubling of the minerals tax. They're also gonna save some money by cutting planned prisoner beds, but they haven't quite explained how they're going to stop these bad guys actually committing the crimes that land them in prison in the first place. They're gonna spend the money on light rail in Auckland, an overnight train from Wellington to Auckland, trains from Auckland to Tauranga, trains from Christchurch and Dunedin, trains from Auckland to Hamilton, There's free GPs, free nursing services, free annual dental check-ups, free basic dental care, free prescriptions, and free childcare from age 6 months. There's also free income in the form of a UBI for students and beneficiaries - as I say, just the usual crazy stuff which 90 percent of us voters seem to agree makes them completely unfit to run the country's books. My reaction, obviously, has just been to laugh - because, you know, I was 5 years old too once and I also had these kinds of dreams. Labour's reaction must be to cry, because this kind of loony nonsense that's paraded as serious policy just makes it so much harder for them to get back into Government. I mean, Labour will need the Greens much more than they have in the past, right? We are no longer dealing with the Greens sitting at 5 percent where their nutty ideas can be ignored because they will not get as much out of coalition negotiations, we are now dealing with the Green Party consistently sitting at 10 percent and above. A Labour-Greens government will be 3 quarters Labour and one quarter the Greens - and that's not even counting the other dollop of crazy that's going to come from the Māori Party. Jet tax, death tax, wealth tax, crims out on the street - Labour must be weeping today. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sharing his personal vocation story and the powerful image of the Lamb who conquers in the Book of Revelation, he reminds us that every vocation begins by receiving the love of God first.

After recent rockiness in both equity and housing markets, we revisit the classic shares vs. property discussion with Ed McKnight, Resident Economist at Opes Partners. While he believes there’s a “buyer’s market”, Ed cautions that housing might be riskier than you think, and that leverage can amplify your losses as well as your returns. Is Ed worried about the impacts of climate and insurability for property investors? What makes a property rentable in 2025? How does our lower birth rate affect demand for different types of housing? And with New Zealand close to a 10-year high in property listings, Ed shares how Opes Partners identifies undervalued growth areas (like Christchurch in the pre-covid era).

In this session, we are joined by historical theologian, Dr. Paul Capetz. Dr. Capetz, a minister in the United Methodist Church and former theology professor at various Protestant seminaries, discusses liberal Christology and its limitations. While identifying as a liberal theologian who seeks to reconcile Protestant heritage with Enlightenment thinking, Capetz argues that traditional liberal Christology is fundamentally flawed. He explains that liberal theologians like Friedrich Schleiermacher attempted to reconstruct the historical Jesus using modern historical analysis, but this approach faces insurmountable challenges. Following Rudolf Bultmann, whom Capetz considers the greatest New Testament scholar of the 20th century, he contends that a biography of Jesus cannot be written due to limited reliable historical sources. More importantly, Capetz argues that Christology shouldn't be based on speculations about Jesus's relationship with God, but rather on the apostles' witness to Jesus as the decisive revelation of God's love. Despite his fascination with the historical Jesus question, Capetz believes that the liberal approach of grounding Christology in historical reconstruction is both historically impossible and theologically misguided.

There's a big weekend in store for Christchurch where the curtain is being raised on the new Court Theatre. The new $56 million playhouse is the theatre's first permanent home since the 2011 earthquake destroyed its Arts Centre venue. 

There's still a state of emergency in Christchurch and many properties across Wellington, Wairarapa and Manawatu are still without power following the week's wild weather.
