A special ceremony was held in central Wellington in the wee hours of this morning, to mark the return of a very special waka. Unearthed in the banks of Te Awakairangi or the Hutt River, the waka is at least three hundred years old. And this morning it was returned to its ancestral owners, and they're excited about what it offers. Māori news reporter Jamie Tahana and cameraman Angus Dreaver joined them.
Alison Ballance meets geologist Dr. Carolyn Boulton, who is a ‘fault finder', interested in how faults slide during earthquakes.
Micronations, tiny little countries, usually self-declared, have been set up for all sorts of reasons. To build a driveway, to swear loyalty to the Queen, and even to protest having to play rugby for a neighbouring town. What motivates a person to invent their own country? And why are there so many in Australia?
Rain is easing in the Wellington region, after a day of heavy rain which caused widespread flooding, slips and some road closures. The swollen Hutt River created headaches in Lower Hutt and there had been fears commuters may face issues today getting into the central city. Lower Hutt mayor Campbell Barry spoke to Corin Dann.

On this episode Market Development Agronomists Craig White and Matt Willis talk about late season results in trial work currently underway with 145 broadacre trials in over 80 locations around Australia. https://www.crop.bayer.com.au/news-and-insights/news/news-container/2020/07/23/06/44/2020-broadacre-market-development-trials Craig and Matt talk about pre-emergent herbicide activity/behaviour and how this relates to final weed control, with differences in the amount of seed heads (Panicles) showing between treatments. Sakura® (850WG granule) and NEW Sakura® Flow (480SC liquid) are available for growers right now, to help manage grass weeds in wheat and pulse crops. With near a decade of reliable field performance with up to 12 weeks residual grassweed control, Sakura herbicide is now available in 2 formulations, and four convenient pack sizes including the very popular 100 hectare pack (Sakura WG) and a new 50 hectare Sakura Flow (liquid) pack. This allows for great flexibility at the boom spray and performance in the paddock. Matt and Craig introduce Mateno® Complete herbicide. This herbicide is currently under development by Bayer for grass and broadleaf weed control in wheat and barley, with flexible IBS or EPE application timings. Field experience in 2020 and results are very promising. At the time of publication of this podcast, Mateno Complete is not a registered product. An application for Registration has been submitted.

Are you sick of the Government telling you what to do ? Do what Aussie wheat farmer Leonard Casley did and start your own country ! Unhappy with production quotas being imposed by the government , Leonard renamed himself Prince Leonard , donned a robe and some jewels , created a flag and a new currency and voila , he was now Prince Leonard of the Principality of Hutt River . He even got a letter from the Queen . He did go to war with Australia at one point .. for 48 hours until he declared that Hutt River had won the war. It's that easy folks .... ( Disclaimer - not sure how legal this is so maybe get a lawyer first .... ) For more crazy stories my book is available here :https://www.hachette.com.au/kellie-arrowsmith/skimpy-the-funniest-book-you-ll-ever-read-about-the-northern-territory or all good online bookstores inc Kindle , Apple books etc I love a chat so say G'day anytime ......

Clancy Overell and Wendell Hussey kick off another day in news, live from the Budgy Smuggler Booth.
LOWER HUTT. WELLINGTON. Saturday. 13th of April 2002. 11.20am. Donna Hall gathered her two nieces, Manumea and Erena Durie to take a morning stroll along the Hutt River with ‘baby Kahu' and the family dog. The fivesome left their house and wandered through the suburbs of Woburn. The two nieces pushed Kahu in the pushchair a few metres ahead of Donna who walked the dog behind. Eventually the quintet walked southwest onto Saint Albans Grove. As they made their way down the road towards the riverbank a Mitsubishi Magna passed them and parked ahead at the end of the grove, near the stairs to Strand Park. As the quintet approached the stairs leading up to the riverbank, a man wearing a balaclava, gloves and weilding a .22 Ruger semi automatic rifle burst out of the Mitsubishi and quickly approached the group. The attacker pointed the rifle at the head of Erena Durie and threatened to kill her along with her sister Manumea if they didn't leave baby Kahu.

As we wrote recently, high tax states like NY, CA, CT, NJ, MA, IL and others are starting to feel the new tax law's impact. Governor Andy Cuomo went to the White House hat in hand to beg for the increasing of the SALT deduction (It was unlimited but the law reduced it to 10k per annum). He's looking at a $2.3 billion hole in his budget directly attributable to it. Good luck there. President Trump suggested he look at reducing high taxes, now there's a novel concept. We mourn the passing of Prince Leonard, who took on the Australian central government when they tried to put his farm out of business. He started the province Hutt River which the government refused to recognize. Once, for three days, he declared war on the state. Hopefully his spirit will carry on and a new generation of Aussies will continue the fight.

RIP Prince Leonard of Hutt River, who passed away today. In my latest video I tell the story of how The Principality of Hutt River -- this micro nation inside of Australia -- was formed, and the heroism of the amazing man who fought tyranny and won. He will be sorely missed. If you liked this, please subscribe to my YouTube Channel!

Womens Rights are Human Rights, but do we live in a society of sexism, patriarchy and unconscious bias? As Chinese Leader Mao Tse Tung said, “Women hold up half the sky.” In fact in New Zealand women make up 52% of the population and so hold up just a bit more than half! EMANCIPATION Kate Sheppard and her fellow suffragists gathered the signatures of nearly 32,000 women to demonstrate the groundswell of support for their cause. The result of this was that the Electoral Act 1893 was passed by both houses of Parliament and became law on 19 September 1983. New Zealand women gained the right to stand for election in 1919. The first female MP, Elizabeth McCombs, was not elected until 1933. It took until 1984 for the number of women in Parliament to reach double figures. In 2014 there were 69 males in parliament and 31 women! Should we rest without full emancipation of women being implemented in our society? Since the women’s liberation movement quietened in the eighties society has landed up with wide and worsening inequalities, and women suffer most in this type of society, directly and indirectly.One hundred and twenty four years since women got the right to vote, the journey is far from over! “The gender pay gap in this country is symptomatic of a bigger problem”, says Angela McLeod in this interview. New Zealand ranked tenth in the Global Gender Gap Index 2015 after countries such as, and surprisingly, Rwanda and the Philippines! New Zealand climbed one rank to ninth last year owing to improving its position on the Economic Participation and Opportunity sub-index, with higher female labour force participation. Since we were the first to give women the vote, we should expect to be first!New Zealander, Sandra Coney gave an excellent speech at International Women’s Day this year. She says, “I want to raise here a precept of the early women’s liberation movement that is still highly relevant. That is, you measure women’s progress not by how women are doing at the top but how they are doing at the bottom. A LIVING WAGE In some circumstances women still get paid less for doing the same job as men. There is a 9.4% gender pay gap in New Zealand. This is ridiculous, and often low paid women workers are exploited, yes in this day and age. The minimum wage needs to increase as many women are trapped in low paid work. Benefits then can rise and that will help the many solo parents, mostly women, who are struggling to survive and are sometimes in abject poverty.It is from that background that exploitation of women and violence against women can appear.TRADITIONAL ROLESWe all know the historical role of women in the kitchen, as caregivers and nurturers and there is nothing wrong with that. However women must have the choice to be all that they can be. Some enjoy the home environment, although in the current financial environment many are forced out to work for financial reasons. Even then many women are the primary cooks and cleaners at home and jobs are not shared equally between partners. (I for one, would prefer to cook a meal than mow the lawns!) However only 3% of firemen (FireMEN) are women. And as a man just pointed out recently, there are not too many male midwives around. So traditional roles still play a part in our society. Many people refer to doctors as HE and nurses as SHE for example. However we must be sure that these differences occur because of choice and not from patriarchy.UNCONSCIOUS BIASMore insidious than individual issues is the promotion of bias in the media, and retail areas. Try going shopping for young children and find non gender specific clothing. It is not easy. Pink for girls and blue for boys is very prevalent along with violent hero pictures on boy’s t-shirts and pink fairy dresses for girls. Toys are similarly categorised. This gender bias is much more evident, as I buy for my grandchildren, than it was in the eighties when my own children were young.Watching the sports news on TV is another area of bias. Male sport dominates and so you may be unaware that our NZ women’s rugby team, for example, has won five World Cups and the men have only won three!It is very clear that there is gender bias in the workplace. The government has reached its target to have 45% of women on State Sector Boards, but the private sector is quite different, with only one business leader, Kate McKenzie CEO of Chorus, in the top NZX 50 business leaders. EMPOWERING WOMENIn an attempt to overcome bias in employment, the New Zealand Law Society released a draft Gender Diversity and Inclusion Charter for comment by lawyers.“The voluntary charter is an initiative of the Law Society’s Women’s Advisory Panel that was set up to look at ways to support the retention and advancement of women in the legal profession. It also aims to address pay equity and encourage the implementation of unconscious bias training for all lawyers and key staff.”As well as the law society driving reform within its ranks, we need government legislation to drive a more equal society.Empowering women is the most important thing we can do to build a better society. The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality on which Angela McLeod is a member of the New Zealand committee seeks to:Establish high-level corporate leadership for gender equality.Treat all women and men fairly at work – respect and support human rights and non-discrimination.Ensure the health, safety and well-being of all women and men workers.Promote education, training and professional development for women.Implement enterprise development, supply chain and marketing practices that empower women.Promote equality through community initiatives and advocacy.Measure and publicly report on progress to achieve gender equality .To hear more on women’s rights, please listen to Angela McLeod in this interview. Angela McLeod is the past president of the Federation of Business and Professional Women, New Zealand, and a UN Women National Committee Aotearoa New Zealand Councillor, Upper Hutt City Council Chair, and is on Wellington Region’s Waste Forum.She says: “I have lived in Upper Hutt all my life and I’m passionate about our city and environment. I want to: put our interests first; fight to keep us out of a Super city; strengthen our local economy and community; upgrade all our train stations; keep our water publicly owned, from source to tap; clean up the Hutt River and build an effective rural strategy. My husband (Mac) and I live on a lifestyle block in Whiteman’s Valley and we own a local retail business. I have been and continue to be, involved with local and national civil society groups.”Angela has much to say on women’s issues including the upcoming election.This interview is sponsored by: The Awareness Partywww.theawarenessparty.com
