Copley notes that Canada possesses potential opportunity to fundamentally rethink military procurement and strategic positioning amid escalating political rifts with the Trump administration. Copley observes that both Commonwealthnations are gradually recognizing the diminishing salience of China as a peer threat and consequently reconsidering the necessity of independent strategic capabilities alongside their continuing participation in the "Five Eyes" intelligence alliance. 1944 BURMA

The government has recently announced some major reforms to how regional councils operate, with regional councillors proposed to be replaced by boards made up of city and regional mayors, and potentially even Crown-appointed representatives, called combined territories boards, or CTBs. The ‘shake-up' of regional councils has left concerns that the move would water down environmental regulations at a local level, reduce Māori and iwi voices in decision making, and would result in central government overreaching into local politics. As well as this, Parliament's Justice Committee has recommended passing the Electoral Amendment Bill, albeit with some amendments For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to MP Simon Court about both of these topics, starting with the changes to regional councils.

When Anthony Cox, talked to Phil Nusbaum, Anthony talked about the time signature change in one of his originals, Work in Progress.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Education: 8/10 The maths trial results this week were a tangible example of the simple truth that if you concentrate on something and work hard, you will win. The All Blacks: 6/10 They did better than the critics seem to suggest. Rugby has changed but the attitude on expectation and winning hasn't. This isn't 1986.
