In this episode, Julia speaks with Mai Chen, constitutional lawyer, author, and change-maker, about one of the most overlooked challenges of leading finding the energy to keep going when you feel stuck. Mai reflects on what she calls “transcending worlds” - the process of shifting from one phase of life or leadership into another, especially after exhaustion or disappointment. She shares how energy, not time, is the true currency of leading, and how we often drain it trying to meet expectations, fit into old definitions of success, or push through without rest. The conversation explores how to pause without guilt, rebuild momentum after burnout, and reconnect with a sense of purpose that feels alive again. Mai's reflections remind us that the real work of leading isn't just about direction, it's about the Energy that sustains it. Listen to this episode to learn how to regenerate Energy when you're stuck, and how to transcend the worlds that no longer serve your growth. About the Guest: Dr Mai Chen (LLB(Hons)(Otago), (LLM(Harvard),HonLLD(Otago), CMInstD), is a top barrister in NZ and President of NZ Asian Lawyers.

Yesterday in Parliament, something very interesting happened and it's the sort of conversation we've been screaming out for here in the capital. During Question Time, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon was pressed on whether the coalition government is working on a new law to prevent people from sleeping in our downtown city centres. Luxon batted it away in the House —wouldn't touch it. But later, minister for Auckland Simeon Brown went further, and his comments should make Wellington sit up and listen. Brown acknowledged the obvious: homelessness is just as serious in Auckland as it is here —maybe worse—but it's not a competition. He confirmed the Government is looking at ways to prevent rough sleeping in CBDs and provide accommodation options for those who need it. That's the combo we've been missing: expectation and support. Not just “move them on,” but “give them somewhere better to go.” Otherwise, they will just keep coming back. And let me be very clear— in my view, this is exactly what Wellington needs right now. Not next year. Not after a working group. Now. Because, friends… this is not just about tidying up the shop window of our city — though that matters —it's about the people themselves. Nobody benefits from sleeping outside convenience stores 24/7. It's unsafe. It's unhealthy. And frankly, it is not the dignity any New Zealander deserves. I've said many times on this programme: I have never personally witnessed a homeless person assaulting anyone. But that doesn't mean the current situation is working. It doesn't feel good. It doesn't feel safe. It keeps people away from our CBD, and it drags down businesses already on their knees. And if we're serious about making Wellington vibrant again — if we want people back in town, shopping, eating, working — then we've got to confront the reality in front of our eyes. National MP Ryan Hamilton is even floating a member's bill that would give police powers to move people on from public places. Labour, of course, called it “banning homelessness.” Heated scenes in Parliament followed. Luxon insists nothing has been discussed at Cabinet — but the conversation alone tells you how serious this has become. Meanwhile, homelessness here in Wellington has surged —up 24 percent according to The Post. That should shock all of us. That's the direction of travel under the current system — more people on the streets, fewer tools to intervene. Yes, there are legitimate questions about rights and freedoms. Community Law rightly points out that people have the right to move and live where they choose. But we already allow police to act on trespass, public nuisance, disorder… the law already intervenes when things get unsafe. The issue here is balance — helping, not punishing — and creating a better alternative so no one has to sleep rough in the first place. Simeon Brown says Auckland is talking to its council. Well — so should we. If Auckland can start planning, why can't Wellington? We cannot keep waiting, hoping it fixes itself. This government stepping up to create real tools — and more importantly, real accommodation — is exactly what Wellington needs. Not later. Now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Half a billion dollars of investments, from KiwiSaver and other funds out of New Zealand, are going into Government bonds of countries with poor human rights records. That is according to a new report published by Motu Research this morning. Researchers there used the Human Rights Measurement Initiative, which ranks countries based on economic, civil and political rights residents have and portfolio data from KiwiSaver and other retail funds - to identify how much money New Zealanders were investing in sovereign bonds of so-called 'high alert' countries. These countries include China, Israel, Saudi Arabia and Qatar because of their low scores in safety from the state, civic freedoms and rights to things like education, food, health and housing. Lead author and economist at Motu Research Anne-Marie Brook says ethical investing has typically had minimal human rights data and this is the first comprehensive look at how much New Zealand investment is going into sovereign bonds of countries with dubious human rights' records.

Nicola Willis and Carmel Sepuloni joined Morning Report this morning for the Weekly Political Panel; SkyCity finally has the keys to the long-delayed International Convention Centre in Auckland; Experts are alarmed the number of New Zealanders with diabetes is not just getting bigger, it's also getting younger; Unemployment is expected to rise to a near nine-year high, with people still struggling to find work, or enough work.

Short-hop domestic flights are costing New Zealanders as much as 3 dollars a kilometre if they are booked shortly before travel - and that has prompted calls for change. RNZ's money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Experts are alarmed the number of New Zealanders with diabetes is not just getting bigger, it's also getting younger. Starship Hospital's paediatric endocrinologist, Dr Craig Jefferies spoke to Corin Dann.

New research shows half a billion dollars of New Zealanders' money in KiwiSaver and other retail investments has been lent to countries on 'high alert' for human rights violations. The paper written by Motu Research uses data from Mindful Money, an independent charity which aims to provide transparency for kiwis on where their money is invested. Co-CEO of Mindful Money, Barry Coates spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Employment advocates say the Government is "driving a wedge" between migrant workers and local communities by urging domestic businesses to prioritise New Zealanders. RNZ Asia's Chen Liu reports.

There are calls for a coordinated response to get on top of rising fraud operations. Crypto exchange Swyftx is warning scam networks have evolved into a new form of organised crime, with many operating out of South East Asia. Latest data estimates New Zealanders has lost $1.6 billion to online threats in the past year, with this expected to grow without intervention. Criminologist Gabby Lewis told Mike Hosking the Government needs to run simple, nationwide campaigns. She recommends simple messaging like "slow down, look around, shut it down". There's also a belief more needs to be done to protect New Zealanders from the syndicates. Lewis told Hosking the syndicates utilise human trafficking to make their money, the victims forced to stay in compounds and scam people.

This week Labour announced it will campaign for the next election with a capital gains tax as a key policy and point of difference. It wants a 28% tax on profits made from the sale of investment property. Family homes and farms will be exempt. Labour wants to channel the revenue it delivers towards providing three free doctor visits a year for every New Zealander. John Minas is an Associate Professor at Monash University's Business School, who specializes in tax policy - and specifically - capital gains tax. He tells Guyon from Melbourne that New Zealand is currently an outlier.

13 measles cases have now been confirmed, health officials are urging the public to get vaccinated. About 80 percent of New Zealanders are immunised but 95% coverage is needed for herd immunity.

For a group that normally seems to nail ideas and present them well, the New Zealand Initiative this week went off-piste with their "MMP After 30 Years" report. Smaller cabinet - good idea. Get rid of the overhang - good idea! But more MP's? What on Earth are they thinking? The main point they make is that it has provided a fairer, more representative Parliament and I think, even for those of us that didn't vote for MMP, we pretty much would all need to conceed that. The question I would have is, is that what we actually want? The base level argument over representation is, do some of the lesser lights represent a sector of lesser lights in the wider community? If the community has got its collection of halfwits and buffoons, do we want a slice of that in the nation's Parliament because that is a version of representation? I would argue no. I would argue that I'd far rather have a selection of highly qualified, dedicated, hard-working professionals. But if a cross section is what we voted for, then a cross section is what we have received. The great fraud of MMP has been the oft-used line by people like the Green's Rod Donald that the tail would not wag the dog. The tail has most certainly wagged the dog, many times over. If the circumstances are right, and they have been more than once, a very small percentage of the vote can wield an astonishing and destructive amount of power. Then of course if we are marking 30 years, we can also relitigate the issue of knowledge at the time. MMP won not because it was better, or the best, but because MMP had the best run anti-FPP campaign and too many New Zealanders couldn't be bothered educating themselves about the alternatives. So MMP had the biggest headlines and enough people were fed up with Muldoon and Lange and scraps and bulldozing Governments so they threw out the current, in the hope the new was better. We will not change the system again. Those days are gone and I doubt we will ever even tinker with it. But if we do, more MP's will not be top of our wishlist.
