After 300,000 submissions, tens of thousands of feet on the road in one of the biggest hikoi this country has ever seen - and tens of thousands of tax-payer dollars spent on the debate, the Parliament's Justice Committee has recommended that ACT's Treaty Principles Bill not proceed. ACT campaigned on holding a public vote to scrap the principles that have been established through the courts - such as partnership - and codifying in law a new interpretation focused on what it says is "all New Zealanders being "equal under the law".

It's an area close to Simon's heart, affecting thousands if not millions of workers in healthcare systems around the world. Simon is campaigning for a systematic change and speaks to Mihi.

This year many traditionally stable jobs and industries have born the brunt of challenging economic times. According to the World Economic Forum, 69 million jobs will be created in the next four years, driven by new technologies. In Aotearoa, technology is one of our fastest growing exports but, we have a shortage of workers and Maori and Pasifika make up only about 4% and less than 3% respectively. Trying to change that is a bit of a blast from the past. Danny Leaoasavai'i - better known as Brotha D - is a music producer who started making a name for himself in the 90s and who helped found Dawn Raid Entertainment. He's now the Creative Lead at the South Auckland Creative and Tech Hub. Mihi went for a tour with him.

From the vastness of ice to the raw power of swells taller than buildings, Antarctica is a landscape that is deadly as it is beautiful.

Artists Charlie Thomas and Rose Lasham were both part of the group and their work, inspired by the trip, is currently on display at Auckland's Maritime Museum. They talk to Mihi about what it was like visiting the frozen continent.

MIHI: At the center of our gaze, 15min., France Directed by Cyril Durand-Gasselin Introspection is a mental activity which can be described metaphorically as the act of “looking inside” oneself, through a form of attention paid to one's own sensations, states or thoughts. In psychology, this is the inner knowledge we have of our perceptions, actions, emotions and knowledge, which is different from that which an outside observer might have. https://facebook.com/Compagnienos https://instagram.com/compagnie_nos Get to know the filmmaker: What motivated you to make this film? I wanted to show how important introspection has been for me in my life, and still is. It helped me grow so much. By giving this work to the world, I hope it will reminds everyone how important it is to take time to listen to yourself and to learn as much as you can from everything you can find inside. What were your initial reactions when watching the audience talking about your film in the feedback video? Honestly, I've got really touched and smiled all the way through the video. The comments were so nice and good but mostly really interesting. And it is really satisfying to hear comments from people that you don't know that are coming from another country.
