The National Iwi Chairs Forum has unanimously backed a High Court challenge from Hauraki iwi Ngāti Manuhiri against the Governments Marine and Coastal Area Act passed last year. The Act makes it harder for Māori groups to win customary title; a move the government says restores the legislation to its "original intent". The forum is meeting at Waitangi this week and will tomorrow meet with Prime Minister Christopher Luxon. Māori News journalist Pokere Paewai spoke to Lisa Owen from Waitangi.

So, Fire and Emergency New Zealand has launched an investigation into the firefighter in the video with the Prime Minister. You'll know what I'm talking about, you've probably seen it already. It's been doing the rounds since Friday. It's the video of the PM touring the devastation on the East Coast last week. As he's walking back to a Defence Force helicopter, he stops to talk to a volunteer firefighter who's wearing the old high‑vis with 'Fire' written on the back. He does his political schmoozing - having the chat, getting up in the face, clapping the arm - then he heads off toward the chopper. The firefighter turns around, looks at the phone filming her and makes a crude gesture, which the Hauraki boys would describe as “feeding the birds". I saw that on Friday, I smirked, I thought, “Oh, that's a bit funny,” and then I shut it down and got on with my life. Fire and Emergency NZ, however, does not think it's funny at all. They've completely overreacted to it and, after questions from the Herald, have decided to launch an investigation into this firefighter. If they're open to taking some feedback, I would urge them to drop the investigation here. If there's been a bad call, the really bad call isn't the firefighter doing something silly in front of her mates who are filming - it's the person who put the video online, which was the truly unwise thing to do in this modern age. And it doesn't seem to be the same person, by the way, given the TikTok account is run by a man and the firefighter is a woman. But even if they were the same person, it's just really not a big deal, is it? Politicians should expect - and do expect - this kind of reaction when they go around doing their political schmoozing. And if people have a laugh about the PM doing his schmoozing, who cares? It's not threatening or intimidatory, it's just mocking. We have a shortage of volunteer firefighters in this country. We shouldn't be lifting the expectations of volunteers to the same level as what we expect from professionals to the point that volunteers are dissuaded from giving us their time, which we frankly should be grateful for. And there but for the grace of God, etc, right? Because we all do stupid things - we just hope the people around us don't put it on TikTok. I don't want to live in a world where we get investigated over something as silly as this. Hopefully they drops this investigation because surely - surely to God - Fire and Emergency NZ has more important things to do. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An RNZ special on the unfolding weather event in the North Island, presented by Ingrid Hipkiss. Red heavy rain warnings are in place for Northland, Coromandel, Bay of Plenty, and Gisborne from Tologa Bay north. Several regions have declared a state of local emergency, including Coromandel, Hauraki, Bay of Plenty, Whangarei and Gisborne Tai Rāwhiti.

Local states of emergency remain in place in Whangarei, Coromandel, Hauraki, the Bay of Plenty and Tairawhiti. Emergency Management and Recovery Minister Mark Mitchell spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

Donald Trump has given his speech to world and business leaders at Davos in Switzerland; Deb Glasgow has lived in Ōakura for decades, and says last night's weather was some of the worst she's ever seen; The Prime Minister has announced an election date of November 7; Local states of emergency remain in place in Whangarei, Coromandel, Hauraki, the Bay of Plenty and Tairawhiti; Tauranga has been battered by wind and rain that has caused several slips.

Civil Defence in Tolaga Bay East Coast says low-lying households near Hikuwai River should evacuate now. Surface flooding has stranded several East Coast communities - with no easing yet of the tropical storm battering the North Island. Tairawhiti has now joined Whangārei, Hauraki, Thames-Coromandel and the Bay of Plenty in declaring States of Emergency. Red rain warnings for Northland, Coromandel Peninsula, Bay of Plenty and parts of Gisborne will start expiring between 11pm and 11am tomorrow. Hauraki District Council says some homes in Whiritoa have been evacuated, and the Surf Club has been set up as a Civil Defence site. In Thames Coromandel, Mayor Peter Revell says Whitianga, Cooks Beach and Pauanui are cut off, with near record rain already last night. "There's going to be significant volumes of rain in the next four or five hours, so that will certainly load up the rivers and threaten slips on roads and what have you."

Huge benefits for the Hauraki District - as a major mining project gets the green light to expand operations. The Government's granted fast track approval for Waihi North to expand its operations in Hauraki District until 2043. Resources Minister Shane Jones estimates it'll generate an additional $5.2 billion dollars from gold and silver exports across its 18-year life. Hauraki District mayor Toby Adams says this will bring a lot of economic wealth into the region - beyond just gold and silver profits.

A volunteer baking team is expanding into the Hauraki region, and the Bay of Islands as rising hardship puts local services under pressure. Good Bitches volunteer coordinator Sara Mitchell spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There is a crackdown on out-of-district discount-hunting dumpers travelling kilometres to off-load their rubbish at the Waihi tip because it is cheaper. About half the people dropping rubbish at the Waihi Refuse Station in the Hauraki District don't pay rates there. Subsidising their rubbish habits is costing local ratepayers about $600,000 a year - but that is all about to change. Hauraki mayor Toby Adams spoke to Lisa Owen.

Rob Eckford, CEO of Rua Gold Inc. (TSXV: RUA) (OTCQB: NZAUF) (WKN: A40QYC), joins me to introduce the value proposition and current work programs at their 2 district-scale gold exploration projects in New Zealand.   Rob starts off by highlighting that their team, that has developed, constructed, and run mines in Burkina Faso and Colombia, but then decided to focus on New Zealand a handful of years ago; eventually leading to the company going from private to publicly listed in 2024.   They've consolidated the land over 2 large land packages prospective for high-grade gold on both the North Island and South Island.   The Company controls the Reefton Gold District as the dominant landholder in the Reefton Goldfield on New Zealand's South Island with over 120,000 hectares of tenements, in a district that historically produced over 2Moz of gold grading between 9 and 50g/t.  The exploration team currently has 3 drills turning across the project, and anticipates an update to the Resource Estimate by year end.   The Company's Glamorgan Project solidifies Rua Gold's position as a leading high-grade gold explorer on New Zealand's North Island. This highly prospective project is located within the North Islands' Hauraki district, a region that has produced an impressive 15Moz of gold and 60Moz of silver. Glamorgan is adjacent to OceanaGold Corporation's biggest gold mining project, Wharekirauponga; north of their Waihi gold mine. After obtaining a permit later this year, drilling will commence across the Glamorgan Project.   Rob shares his background and the pedigree and experience of the management team and board of directors, and wraps us up with the capital share structure, key strategic investors, and financial strength of the Company to execute on its next initiatives.   If you have any questions for Rob regarding Rua Gold, then please email them into me at Shad@kereport.com.   Click here to follow the latest news from Rua Gold

A business owner says after a tough period, money to re-open the Coromandel Peninsula's Cathedral Cove track is great news.   The Government's allocated $5 million to plan, build, reopen, and maintain the walking track.   The beach has been inaccessible by land since February 2023 after Cyclone Gabrielle.   Destination Hauraki Coromandel General Manager Hadley Dryden told Andrew Dickens it's their biggest attraction.   He says it has a lot of pulling power for the region and the country, so it's important it's back for summer.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bottom trawling could be banned in up to 89 percent of the Hauraki Gulf The government has released several options for trawl corridors, or limited zones where trawling can occur, with public feedback starting Wednesday. Hauraki mayor and co-chair of the Hauraki Gulf Forum Toby Adams spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

More destruction of the seabed and less Kaimoana for ordinary fishers. That's the damning verdict from one interest group that says the government's new plan to protect and regenerate the Hauraki gulf doesnt go far enough. The plan will see protected areas increased to cover 18% of the gulf, up from 6 percent. There will be five new sea floor protection areas, where bottom trawling and drag net fishng is banned. And there will also be new designated high protection areas, where most fishing recreational and commerical is off limits. But there will still be large areas of the gulf designated "trawl corridors" where critics say the ocean floor will still be "bulldozed" Although the Prime Minister is not ruling out a more wide spread trawling ban.
