A former Māori Party leader says he can't make sense of MP Tākuta Ferris' controversial race comments. Ferris posted a photo of Labour volunteers stating their ethnicities and wrote they were campaigning to take a Māori seat from Māori in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election. The party apologised, but Ferris stood by his comments in a second social media video. Te Ururoa Flavell says the party has a history of inclusivity and explained many of their candidates in the general sense weren't Māori - being Pasifika, Chinese and Korean.

Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris is standing by his controversial social media comments, according to recent reports. Ferris posted a video this week defending a previous post saying it was unacceptable for people of other ethnicities to campaign to take a Māori seat from Māori. NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says this has caused some tension within the party, as some fellow MPs have raised concerns about these comments.

In this explosive episode, Duncan Garner breaks down the late-night social media outbursts from Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris, calling out his openly racist rhetoric, defiance of party leadership, and the growing silence from key political figures, including Labour's Chris Hipkins. From Ferris' offensive comments targeting Indian, Asian, and Black Labour supporters, to his refusal to apologise and continued race-based tirades — Duncan doesn't hold back. Is Ferris destroying the credibility of Te Pāti Māori? Should he be expelled from Parliament? And why is the mainstream political response so muted? Also in this episode: ⚠️ Commentary from Willie Jackson
Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris is being roundly condemned from all sides in Parliament after doubling down on a racially charged social media post. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Corin Dann.
Te Pati Māori's co-leaders are silent during widespread criticism of one of their MPs social media posts, labelled 'racist' by some. Tākuta Ferris posted a video, saying it's unacceptable for other ethnicities to campaign to take a Maori seat from Maori. The party apologised in the past for a previous social media post with a similar sentiment. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper has labelled these comments 'painful' and 'infuriating'. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Labour's Willie Jackson is defending his party's volunteers during the Tamaki Makaurau by-election as they come under fire from a Te Pati Māori MP. Last night, Tākuta Ferris posted a video saying it's unacceptable for people of other ethnicities to campaign to take a Māori seat from Māori. It follows a similar post from last week. Te Pati Māori apologised for the first post - but have refused to answer questions today. Jackson says he's personally apologised to the volunteers hurt by the comments. "Basically, he's saying you've got no right to participate, this is just the Māori seat. Yes, it's a Māori seat, but these people want to help. They didn't come on to take over the Māori seat."

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon specifically referenced Ireland and Singapore as “two economies we often look to for inspiration on investment and technology”, John Key imagined the country as the “Switzerland of the South Pacific”. But based on the research of academic Angus Dowell on how big-tech cloud providers expand and dominate markets across the globe, he argues such comparisons are simplistic and misleading. Angus joins us tonight LIVE at 9pm to talk over the issueAngus' article here https://theconversation.com/politicians-love-comparing-nzs-economy-to-singapore-or-ireland-but-its-simplistic-and-misleading-264679An Israeli strike that Israel claims targeted top Hamas leaders Wednesday as they gathered in the Gulf nation of Qatar marked a major escalation in the war in Gaza with some in the middle east saying this ends the chance of a cease fire as Israel has now bombed 6 countries or regions in 2025In direct defiance of his co-leaders, Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris is doubling down on his criticism of non-Māori people supporting Labour's Peeni Henare's by-election campaign.

Naiṣkarmyam apy acyuta-bhāva-varjitaṁ na śobhate jñānam alaṁ nirañjanam. Kutaḥ punaḥ śaśvad abhadram īśvare na cārpitaṁ karma yad apy akāraṇam. (SB 1.5.12) This is one of the points that Nārada makes to Vyāsadeva: "Okay, you've talked about 'naiṣkarmyam' - that okay, here's how you escape the material world and the obligations to work according to karma. 'Naiṣkarmyam apy acyuta-bhāva-varjitaṁ na śobhate jñānam alaṁ nirañjanam.' Nirañjanam - you may also have this conception of that you're not your body and so forth, he said, but that's not perfect, because it's not beautiful, and unless it's beautiful by being connected to acyuta-bhāva - meaning that you have love for Kṛṣṇa—then whatever level of so-called completeness that you've achieved, 'Ye 'nye 'ravindākṣa vimukta-māninas tvayy asta-bhāvād aviśuddha-buddhayaḥ āruhya kṛcchreṇa paraṁ padaṁ tataḥ patanty adho 'nādṛta-yuṣmad-aṅghrayaḥ' (SB 10.2.32) - by the standard of the Srimad Bhagatam, by other people's standard, it may be complete, but Bhāgvatam says, not perfect. And if it's not perfect, it's not going to hold because the soul wants perfect, and the only way to get that is to get Kṛṣṇa.

The Treaty Principles Bill, which sets to redefine the principles of the Treaty, has been introduced to Parliament, two weeks earlier than what had previously been planned. This moved has faced significant backlash including from the political parties the Labour Party, Green Party, and Te Pāti Māori, banding together in opposition. As well as this, a hīkoi from the top of the North Island: Cape Reinga, and the bottom of the South Island in Bluff, the Toitū te Tiriti hīkoi, will meet in Wellington at Parliament in opposition of the bill. News and Editorial Director, and Monday Wire Host, Joel, speaks to Te Pāti Māori's Tākuta Ferris about the Treaty Principles Bill being pushed forward, and the subsequent Toitū te Tiriti hīkoi.
While many of those joining the hīkoi to Te Whanganui A Tara will leave in about a week; some are setting off on Monday morning. Te Tai Tonga MP Tākuta Ferris spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

How to Stop Water Polution. In case you're wondering what water polution has to do with a new continent discoevered in the Pacific Ocean, here's the answer to this mystery. This new continent is an island that consists solely of garbage and plastic waste. Some countries are ready to announce an ecological disaster. Let's see if there's something we can all do to save the planet. TIMESTAMPS The popularity of plastic 0:26 Garbage islands 1:47 The Great Pacific Garbage Patch 2:30 Problems connected with the plastic pollution of the ocean 4:39 Bali ecological disaster 7:31 Several ways to solve problem 8:26 #newcontinent #garbageisland #ecologicalproblem Music: Butchers - Silent Partner https://www.youtube.com/audiolibrary/... SUMMARY -2 million plastic bags a minute are thrown away. As for bubble wrap, the amount produced in just one year would be enough to cover our planet around the equator. 500 billion plastic cups are used and disposed of annually. -There are 3 huge garbage islands in the world: in the central North Pacific Ocean, in the Indian Ocean, and in the Atlantic Ocean. -The size of the Great Pacific Garbage Patch is currently more than 600,000 square miles. According to the journal Scientific Reports, there are more than 1.8 trillion pieces of plastic that have accumulated in this area. -Plastic objects in the ocean kill animals or get stuck in their bodies. Some types of plastic are toxic. In addition, plastic has the ability to absorb such poisonous substances as mercury. Birds often choke to death after trying to swallow a bright object that has caught their eye. -Indonesian authorities have recently declared a “garbage emergency.” More than 100 tons of waste brought ashore every day to beaches from Seminyak and Jimbaran to Kuta. -To solve the problem, people can find a way to remove the garbage that is already in the ocean. Another way out is to decrease pollution or stop it completely.

Two bombs ripped through the Kuta area of the Indonesian island of Bali on 12 October 2002. 202 people were killed. 28 burns victims were taken to Royal Perth Hospital, Australia, where plastic surgeon Professor Fiona Wood worked. She led a team working to save patients suffering between two and 92 percent body burns using ‘spray-on skin'.Professor Wood speaks to Megan Jones.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there. For nine minutes every day, we take you back in time and all over the world, to examine wars, coups, scientific discoveries, cultural moments and much more.Recent episodes explore everything from football in Brazil, the history of the ‘Indian Titanic' and the invention of air fryers, to Public Enemy's Fight The Power, subway art and the political crisis in Georgia. We look at the lives of some of the most famous leaders, artists, scientists and personalities in history, including: visionary architect Antoni Gaudi and the design of the Sagrada Familia; Michael Jordan and his bespoke Nike trainers; Princess Diana at the Taj Mahal; and Görel Hanser, manager of legendary Swedish pop band Abba on the influence they've had on the music industry. You can learn all about fascinating and surprising stories, such as the time an Iraqi journalist hurled his shoes at the President of the United States in protest of America's occupation of Iraq; the creation of the Hollywood commercial that changed advertising forever; and the ascent of the first Aboriginal MP.(Photo: Professor Fiona Wood.

Episode 146I recently had the pleasure of hosting my friend Dale on my podcast to discuss his favorite travel destination: Bali. Dale's been visiting Bali since 1979 and has seen the island evolve through every decade. From the bustling streets of Kuta to the serene landscapes of Ubud, Dale's experiences paint a vivid picture of this enchanting island, flavored with a pinch of humor and a dash of nostalgia.Dale's first visit to Bali in 1979 was nothing short of an adventure. The island was a hidden gem back then, not yet discovered by the masses. He landed in Kuta, which was still a sleepy fishing village with dirt roads and palm-thatched huts. Fast forward to today, and Kuta has transformed into the throbbing heart of Bali's tourist scene. Neon lights, thumping music, and surf shops line the streets. It's a paradise for surfers and party-goers, but also home to some of the island's best street food. Dale fondly recalls his first taste of nasi goreng from a street vendor, a dish so flavorful that it could bring tears to your eyes—either from the spice or sheer joy.Navigating Kuta's roads is an experience in itself. The streets are a chaotic ballet of motorbikes, cars, and pedestrians, all moving to their own rhythm. Dale's advice: keep your wits about you and don't be surprised if a chicken crosses the road—or a tourist on a rented scooter with no clue how to drive it.From Kuta, Dale's journeys often lead him to Ubud, Bali's cultural and spiritual center. Nestled amidst rice paddies and steep ravines, Ubud is a world away from the hustle and bustle of Kuta. It's where you go to find inner peace, explore art galleries, and practice yoga with views that would make even the stiffest bodies feel zen. Dale describes Ubud as a place where time slows down. Here, you can wander through the Sacred Monkey Forest, visit ancient temples, and dine at organic cafes where the food is as Instagram-worthy as it is delicious.Bali's food scene is a culinary journey. From warungs (small family-owned eateries) offering traditional Balinese dishes like babi guling (suckling pig) to upscale restaurants serving fusion cuisine, there's something to tantalize every palate. Dale's top tip for foodies: always try the local dishes. “If it's got a name you can't pronounce, it's probably going to be amazing,” he jokes.Of course, no conversation about Bali would be complete without mentioning the people. Balinese hospitality is legendary. Dale speaks warmly of the locals' genuine friendliness and their uncanny ability to make visitors feel at home. Whether it's a hotel staff member going out of their way to help or a vendor at a market sharing a laugh, the people are what make Bali truly special.However, Bali isn't without its quirks. Dale notes the influx of poorly behaved Australian tourists over the years with a chuckle. “They come in droves, especially during school holidays.” While their antics can be a source of amusement, Dale emphasizes the importance of being respectful to local customs and traditions.In the end, Bali is an island of contrasts. It's where the chaos of Kuta meets the calm of Ubud, where traditional culture coexists with modern tourism, and where every trip offers something new to discover. Dale's decades of travel to Bali have given him a treasure trove of stories and experiences, each visit adding another layer to his love for the island. As our podcast wrapped up, one thing was clear: Bali isn't just a destination; it's a state of mind, one that captures the heart and soul of every traveler lucky enough to experience it.Music:America - A Horse with no NameCat Stevens - Wild WorldSupport the Show.Insta@justpassingthroughpodcastContact:justpassingthroughpodcast@gmail.comArtwork @digitalnomadicart on Insta
