A new electric-hybrid ferry has taken to the water in Auckland, ahead of being put into service next month. It's the first of two electric ferries public transport officials hope will give commuters increased confidence in the network. Auckland Transport said the ferry has gone through rigorous testing and sea trials and is expected to pick up the service from Devonport to Downtown. Finn Blackwell set sail and filed this report.

A controversial statue in Auckland honouring women forced into sexual slavery by the Japanese Army during World War II won't go ahead. The Devonport-Takapuna Board has voted 4 to 2 to deny the Korean Garden Trust the permission to build it at Barry's Point Reserve in Takapuna. More than 600 people had given feedback on the statue, including the Japanese Embassy - who opposed it. Devonport-Takapuna Board Chair Trish Deans says the statue was a 'political statement' - and it didn't have a place in this context. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

El Salvador is a small Central American nation that has suffered from a multitude of hardships over many decades, include civil wars, a brutal military dictatorship, crippling poverty and violent crime. This has led to a large exodus of the population escaping, through both legal and illegal channels, to countries like the USA, Canada, Mexico and Australia. In fact Australia is home to the third-largest population of Salvadoreans outside the country itself.Roque came with his family to settle in northern Tasmania in the early 90s as a result of the civil war that lasted from 1981 to 1992. Australia accepted some 10,000 Salvadoreans during this time as a part of its Humanitarian Resettlement program, and Tasmania received several hundred of those.Roque chose Australia over USA or other countries because he wanted to be as far away from El Salvador and its problems as he could, but with no English when he came, settling in near the small city of Devonport was quite a challenge at the beginning.However, as Roque says, he met some angels in Tasmania, almost by chance, who helped him with work and even build a house, and ultimately let him put down roots in Latrobe.

In this episode Gary Mansfield speaks to Kevin Devonport (@KevinDevonportFineArt) Kevin Devonport is a self-taught British artist whose journey from prison to international recognition highlights the life-changing power of art. Raised in Leeds, he left school without qualifications and served several prison terms for drug-related offences. During a 13-year sentence, he discovered painting through a class run by Care After Combat, a charity supporting ex-service personnel, sparking a profound shift in his life. While imprisoned, Devonport earned a First-Class Honours BSc in Sociology from the Open University, shaping his artistic themes of identity, consumerism, and social structure. His still-life works use everyday objects to tell personal and social stories. Based at Assembly House Studios in Leeds, Kevin exhibits widely and mentors others, particularly ex-offenders and veterans, promoting art as a tool for rehabilitation.

Health authorities are on high alert after a new measles case was confirmed over the weekend, with people in Auckland asked to check if they could have been exposed.

Kevin Devonport is a multi-award winning artist - his work has been displayed worldwide to much acclaim… but his entry to the art world is not what you might expect because he learned to paint whilst he was serving a prison sentence for drug offences.

Joanna Gair is a multifaceted visual artist and papermaker, living and working in Devonport, Northwest Tasmania.  After graduating with a first-class degree in Visual Art from the South Australian School of Art, in 1993, she established her studio in North-west Scotland in 1999, since then, she has blended her skills as a visual artist with the ancient craft of papermaking, forging a career marked by creativity, innovation, and sustainability. In 2004, Joanna made a pivotal transition to North-west Tasmania, assuming the roles of manager and creative director at Australia's largest handmade paper mill in Burnie. Here, she embarked on a mission to encapsulate the Tasmanian essence through papermaking. Her efforts garnered significant recognition, including the "Premier's Young Achiever Award" from Tourism Tasmania in 2006 and the "Best New Retail Product" at the National Memento Awards in 2007. Since then, Joanna has been the driving force behind her eponymous paper mill, "Joanna Gair Paper," and the launch of the "Eco Greetings" range. Here, she crafts paper-based artworks and design-focused, Tasmanian plant-based paper for a portfolio of environmentally conscious corporate and wholesale clients, collectors, and artists. 

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.

Discover Red Island Cider on Prince Edward Island Guest podcaster Al Saxs interviews Red Island Cider owner and maker Robert van Waarden in this episode 426 of Cider Chat.   Red Island Cider is located on Canada's reknown “Prince Edward Island” capital “Charlottetown” this cidery has helped revive the island's apple heritage while creating unique, story-driven ciders that reflect the culture, history and spirit of the region. Whether you're an orchardist, a cider maker, or simply a cider traveler, visiting Red Island Cider is an experience that goes beyond the glass. The Art of Crafting Ciders with Local Stories At Red Island Cider, every cider has a story. The flagship cider, Father Walker, is named after a local priest who inadvertently created a legendary batch of cider that fueled an unforgettable community gathering in at The Picnic at Groshaut 1897. The story goes that between having the apples pressed for the Groshaut picnic and the actual picnic the cider had begun to ferment. The song details the events that day as the now fermented cider was being drunk. To listen to the full song sung by Art Cahill, https://digitalcommons.library.umaine.edu/songstorysamplercollection/19/ Father Walker's is a dry cider, made with Northern Spy, McIntosh, and Cortland apples and recently won a gold medal at the Great Lakes International Cider and Perry Competition (GLINTCAP), cementing its place as a top-tier craft cider. Another standout is Devonport, a hop cider named after a historic bar in Charlottetown known for growing its own hops in the 1830s. This cider offers a citrusy, grapefruit-forward profile that appeals to both beer drinkers and cider enthusiasts alike. Red Island's Ghost Series is a collection of limited-edition ciders, each named after historic shipwrecks off the coast of Prince Edward Island. These ciders, draw inspiration from the tales of ships like the Conqueror and Castalia, which met their fates in the island's treacherous waters. The Rose made with locally sourced haskap berries has a vibrant rosé hue and notes of raspberry, blueberry, and cranberry notes, is a true taste of PEI's agricultural bounty. Loyalist Road Cider is a complex blend made from 27 different apple varieties sourced from a small orchard near Charlottetown.

“I think we live in a world people are too, quick to throw stones throw sticks and point fingers. None of us are perfect. I certainly am not. I'm a very temperamental reactive sort of person. So, I have perfected the art of saying I'm sorry. So, I think it's really important that if you're doing something in the world, and you think, Oh, that wasn't very kind, or I could have spoken to that person in a better way, don't be afraid to go out and just say, Look, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to speak to you like that. Also forgive the people around you, they might have been under pressure they might have you don't know what's going on for other people.” Christine Denny Top Five Tips For Cultivating Joy In Your Life and Harnessing The Power It Brings1.       Knowing your narratives2.       Aligning with your values 3.       Investing in self-care4.       Surrounding yourself with supportive people5.       Investing in forgiveness TIME STAMP SUMMARY  01:59 Discovering your own narrative.07:28 What are your values12:32 The importance of self-care20:40 Forgive others and yourself Where to find Christine Website                               www.christinedenny.comLinkedIn                               https://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-denny-4a26232b3?  Christine Denny BioChristine Denny is the creator, CEO, and director of TAPATAK OZ – the elite tap dance syllabus and mentorship programme for teachers and students, that launched in Australia in 2008.

Elspeth Kerr was a prominent nurse in the Auckland suburb of Devonport in the 1930s and faced three trials over the poisoning of her foster daughter Betty. Betty lived, but as police investigated they found cause to exhume the bodies of her husband Charles - who had died just a few months before Betty became sick - and another patient called Emma Day. At the time, the case was sensational, but over time was lost to history - until a skeleton was unearthed under a Devonport house in 1992. Investigative author Scott Bainbridge has written The Trials of Nurse Kerr: The anatomy of a secret poisoner. It's his ninth book, he's also written Without a Trace and Still Missing. Nine to Noon last spoke to him about his book The Fix, which looked at one of New Zealand's biggest swindles.

Kate and Mandy chat to Alex, a registered music therapea from Devonport, Tasmania. Alex talks all about her journey through the almost magical profession of music therapy. Growing up in a musical family, Alex was interested in music and singing, but felt a strong sense that there was more to it than just performing or entertaining people. Spotting a music therapy conference happening in her hometown of Brisbane, she decided to head along to explore it. Little did she know that she was about to experience a sliding doors moment, when on hearing a speech about music therapy practice in the RCH NICU, she realised, “This is what I'm going to do with the rest of my life!”Alex started studying at the University of Queensland, and then following a move to Tasmania, began her music therapy practice, mostly with young children and older people. She shares some beautiful client stories that will make you cry (Mandy sure does!) and delves into the research behind why this particular form of therapy is so powerful - particularly the ‘memory bump' that occurs between the ages of 10-30, where all the songs you love during this age stay with you and become enduring and resonant memories throughout your life. Alex also discusses how to access music therapy through NDIS, why she thinks every Pea should be in a choir, and why you should intentionally use your memory bump music to get you through the hardest parts of your day. Thank you Alex for sharing your absolutely beautiful stories (and your voice!) with us.Check out her business Creative Therapies on Facebook and Instagram and some music therapy resources here.

Hear about travel to Northern Tasmania as the Amateur Traveler talks to Paula Barnes from trulyexpattravel.com about an unexpected visit to this popular region. https://amateurtraveler.com/travel-to-northern-tasmania/ Why should you go to Northern Tasmania? Paula says, "Firstly, it's because it's now classed as 1 of the 50 cities that is the City of Gastronomy. Australia has 2. We have 1 in Bendigo but we also now have 1 in Launceston and it's a foodie's paradise. It's also an amazing landscape and it's an adventure area.  I thought this part of the world had Queenstown in New Zealand, but I'm telling you now, I think Queenstown needs to move over because I think this part of the world has as many amazing adventure things to do. We don't have bungee jumping, but we have everything else." Suggested Itinerary: Day 1: Launceston Exploration and Culinary Delights Morning: Arrive in Launceston by flying from Hobart, driving from Hobart, or driving from Devonport and taking the ferry. Start your day at the Launceston Harvest Market to indulge in local produce and culinary delights.

Midday: Visit the Japanese monkeys in the park, a unique attraction gifted by Launceston's sister city, Aikido, in Japan. Take a leisurely stroll through the park and explore its historical significance. Afternoon: Immerse yourself in history at the Queen Victoria Museum and Art Gallery, showcasing artifacts and stories of the region's past. Evening: Enjoy pre-dinner drinks at Bar Urbane, overlooking the scenic Tamar River, followed by a delightful Asian fusion dinner at Mudbar, known for its seafood and eclectic flavors. Accommodation: Choose between Big 4 Caravan Park for a budget-friendly option with self-catering facilities or Pepper's Seaport Hotel or Florance Launceston for a more luxurious stay with convenient car parking. ...
