Te Papa's popular Gallipoli exhibit is going to be around for another seven years. The Scale Of Our War exhibit, which showcases giant Weta Workshop made sculptures of New Zealanders at war, was meant to close in 2019. But it's been extended three times now, the latest extension stretching to 2032. Te Papa's Kate Camp told Andrew Dickens it's the most popular exhibit the country's ever seen. She says the sculptures do have a shelf life, but they've been surprised by how long they've lasted, so they want to see it continue.

Chris Parker is an award winning comedian, actor, writer, show-runner and podcaster.  This past year Chris hosted the New Zealand Comedy Festival Gala, and toured his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand. He also made his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You're Here (where he won the episode) and released the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked. Chris Parker is most commonly known for his funny Instagram and TikTok videos which built him a huge social media audience over the last few years. His legendary win on the hit New Zealand TV show Celebrity Treasure Island made history! His 2018 New Zealand International Comedy Festival show Camp Binch, was awarded the prestigious Fred Award for Best Show in the Festival and went on to play to 5-star reviews and sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fun fact, the felt hat he made during the 2020 nationwide lockdown was acquired by and is on display at The Auckland Museum and Te Papa the National Museum of New Zealand. Kinda dramatic – don't you agree? Chris is a theatre graduate from the renowned drama school Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa and he has appeared in and written multiple theatre shows across New Zealand, most notably Hudson and Halls Live! Where Chris played one-half of the famous gay cooking duo, David Halls and won best actor at the 2017 Wellington Theatre Awards. Chris has appeared in feature films such as Baby Done, The Breaker Upperers and Nude Tuesday and has two feature films of his own currently in development. As a comedian and writer Chris is a regular face on New Zealand television appearing on 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, Jono and Ben, Funny Girls, Season 3 of Taskmaster New Zealand and the sitcom Golden Boy.

Chris's new comedy series, Double Parked, premiered in June and was created and written with Alice Snedden. He was the show runner and writer for the narrative comedy series Double Parked and is currently touring his live stand up (Stop Being So Dramatic) shows across New Zealand and Australia. Stop Being So Dramatic are four words the self-proclaimed People's Princess of Aotearoa Chris Parker has heard his whole life. Now those words also happen to be the name of his show touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025. At the culturally relevant age of 34, Chris is ready to address the drama queen allegations head-on. Stop Being So Dramatic promises to be an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy, it's a one-man variety spectacle, chill, stand-up hour of laughs. That doesn't sound dramatic at all – does it? Chris admits, there is some merit to the accusations, such as crying in every speech he's ever delivered publicly, and there may have been a situation this year where he slept on his neck weirdly resulting in a neck brace. Still, Chris is sure he's just a chilled guy, down to Earth and he's ready to prove it to you in Stop Being So Dramatic.   We chat about his evolving voice, performing on a broken foot (multiple times), being an improv king and his 10 hour improv day, being the felting guy, his upcoming tour, being a show runner and leadership, thriving on celebrity treasure island plus plenty more!

British fashion icon Vivienne Westwood may have died two years ago, but her creative legacy lives on - with nearly 50 years of history attached. Some of that legacy arrived in New Zealand this January, with the Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery exhibition taking over Wellington's Te Papa museum. BloggerAtLarge.com's Megan Singleton got a look at the exhibit earlier this week - and shared some of her favourite pieces from the collection.

From our “it worked fine, even though many didn't think it would” file, there are two things to mention. Thing number one is the benefit sanctions the handwringers argued were unfair and not nice. It turns out virtually no one has hit red. Remember it was the green, orange, red system? All the Government ever asked in introducing them was for you to do your bit. You are not sanctioned for not having a job. You are sanctioned for not trying. Virtually everyone is doing their bit, as only 1% are in red. Those are the ones you can't help. They don't want help, they don't want work, and they don't want to contribute. That's on them. The most interesting thing the Prime Minister said on Monday, as they announced their new support programme for those looking for work, is in many respects we are down to the nitty-gritty. The current rate of a bit under 5% jobless isn't high, historically. Mostly, if you lose your job, you get another one. So, is moving town reasonable? I answer, yes. If you are 62 years old and laid off, maybe not. But I noted with interest when the mill in the central North Island closed, a lot instantly said they are off to Australia. A lot of people have been off to Australia lately. So moving for lifestyle, or work, or finances clearly isn't a major hurdle, so why would we think it would be one to find work locally? The simple truth is you either want to work or you don't. You are either driven, or you aren't. So some sanctions and the threat of a kick in the pants is not really the end of the world that it was made out to be. The second thing is Te Papa. Remember the debate about charging tourists? This was bad news apparently. We would put people off, apparently. Reality? $750,000 in two months. They've sold pretty much exactly the number of tickets they thought they would. They are now filling a funding gap by letting people know, especially internationals, that nothing is free. So, once again, it's not really the end of the world. My guess is the new entry visa will be the same. The price is going up so it will be "the end of the world". A cost to enter the national parks will be the same. They start charging and it will be "the end of the world". The cost of a visa will be the same. The price went up so "they won't come". We need to break the mentality that the Government i.e. you and me, pay for everything. It isn't real, but it is a habit. What is real, is a few rules and a few charges are only an impediment if you think they are. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Will there be more flies this season buzzing around the house? Apparently Aotearoa has had the perfect combo of warmth and humidity leading into summer for fly breeding. Dr Julia Kasper, the Lead Curator Invertebrates at Te Papa spoke to Lisa Owen.

Te Papa has made $750,000 since it started charging international visitors an admission fee two months ago. The change came in during September to help fund rising energy, insurance, and staffing costs at the museum. Te Papa head of marketing and communications Kate Camp says New Zealand's tourism industry is a rich area with plenty of room for 'once-in-a-lifetime' experiences.

International tourists said charging an entry fee at Te Papa is like keeping history behind a paywall. The muesum has announced a $35 fee will be brought in next month, for overseas visitors aged over 16, Pretoria Gordon reports.

Tonight on The Panel, Wallace Chapman and panellists Sue Kedgley and Anton Matthews discuss Melbourne Council's shock decision to ban hire e-scooters in the CBD, Te Papa adding an entry fee for international visitors and why Paris 2024 may be the most memed sporting event ever.

Te Papa is going to start charging a $35 entry fee for international tourists starting next month. The national museum says it's because rising energy costs, insurance and paying staff is all becoming too expensive. The move's expected to bring in an additional $5-$10 million per year. Te Papa spokesperson Kate Camp told Heather du Plessis-Allan it will be good value for visitors.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A new temporary display of the Treaty of Waitangi at Te Papa which replaces the defaced version is already attracting critics. It opened today at Te Papa after the previous one was spraypainted and attacked with an angle grinder in December as part of a protest action. Pretoria Gordon reports.

The wooden panel which was damaged last December has been replaced by a temporary digital display. Te Papa Chief Executive Courtney Johnston spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Dr Thom Linley has always been fascinated with fish, how they behave, their ecology and their different ocean habitats. He is a curator of fishes at Te Papa, and also co-hosts the Deep-Sea Podcast, where he speaks to scientists about their marine discoveries. Dr Linley was among the first teams to capture video of the world's deepest fish, including those living in the Kermadec Trench, just north of New Zealand. Various shows have featured his work, including Blue Planet II and Shark Week. He's also passionate about encouraging neurodivergent people into science.

Turns out, the person who painted over the rainbow crossing on Auckland's K road 3 weeks ago is related to Brian Tamaki by marriage - what a surprise. He is married to Brian Tamaki's granddaughter and is the father of, I think four, of Tamaki's great-grand kids. The reason I'm not surprised is - of course Destiny Church was doing this with the rainbow crossings in Gisborne earlier. Anyway, today he appeared in court and pleaded guilty - and was convicted, discharged and fined $16,000. Now as far as I can tell,  this is the toughest sentence given in recent times to a protestor who caused damage, but is it really tough? A $16,000 fine sounds a lot, until you hear they're not particularly worried about the fine because already a supporter has pledged $5,000 to help out. And sure, a criminal record sucks - but not that much when your daily life doesn't even break its stride because you're not going to jail or do anything as punishment. I'm going to repeat myself because I've said this before - the courts need to impose sentences that will deter other protestors who damage stuff from doing it as well. And yet, at the moment, that's not what I'm seeing. Remember the climate protestor who sprayed red paint all over the luxury car sales yard in Wellington? She was discharged without conviction, ordered to pay half the water-blasting bills, plus give another $500 to charity -and that was about it. Protest has, particularly in recent years - and particularly led by the climate activists - gone from being peaceful marching and waving of placards and shouting to now including damage of property, kind of as a matter of course. This is a big problem overseas with the climate activists throwing paint at valuable pieces of art on display. And here in New Zealand, it's kind of being imported. We had the spraying of the car yard in Wellington, the spraying of a car yard in Auckland, we had the abseiler deface the Treaty exhibition at Te Papa, we had the Destiny Church guys vandalise the rainbow crossing in Gisborne- and now this.  You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that if you don't adequately punish something, it will be repeated. You just have to be a human to know that because it's human behaviour. Case in point today - Brian Tamaki is proud of what his grandson-in-law did. They don't really care about the fine.  Now tell me if that's going to deter others from, next time they're really angry about something, just damaging some property to prove how angry they are. Probably not, so expect more until we start properly punishing people who deliberately damage other people's stuff in the name of protest.

Wellington's Te Papa museum digitise tapa from around the Pacific

A stalemate remains in Tonga after an announcement last week from the Privy Council, Wellington's Te Papa museum digitise tapa from around the Pacific, and the restoration of cocoa as a vital cash crop in PNG's Sepik region

Te Papa says the number of visitors identifying its Te Tiriti exhibit as a highlight has jumped from 18 percent to 43 percent since December. That's when a group of protestors damaged the wooden panel showing the English version with spray paint and an angle grinder. The move came after years of calls to update the exhibition amid criticisms that it suggests two equal documents were signed. The protestors said the display should make it explicit that Māori never ceded sovereignty. The museum's co-leaders said at the time they would "renew" the exhibit and have formed a new team to spearhead the project. Chief executive Courtney Johnston spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

It's been another tumultuous week in Parliament as the new government tries to get its feet under the table. Protests have erupted against the repealing of smokefree legislation and Fair Pay Agreements, and at Te Papa where a Treaty of Waitangi display was damaged. Finance Minister Nicola Willis' decision not to fund blowouts in the Cook Strait ferry upgrade has drawn calls for her resignation from transport unions. And in the House, Chloe Swarbrick has refused to apologise for calling statements made by the Prime Minister a lie. Political commentators Lamia Imam and Ben Thomas spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A protest at Te Papa has sparked questions about what is deemed 'too far' for civil disobedience in public spaces. A group called Te Waka Hourua spraypainted over a panel of the English text of the Treaty of Waitangi on Tuesday, resulting in the arrest of 12 people. Museums Aotearoa chief executive Adele Fitzpatrick spoke with Ingrid Hipkiss.

A Te Papa exhibit with the English translation of Te Tiriti o Waitangi has been trashed by protestors.

Te Papa has declined to be interviewed on Morning Report after protesters vandalised a display of the English version of the Treaty of Waitangi using spray paint and an angle grinder to damage a wooden display panel.  Professor Margaret Mutu is a member of the Iwi Chairs Forum, and she says the vandalism was a result of Te Papa not listening to pleas for the exhibition to be corrected. She says she had contacted the museum herself to try to have the exhibit corrected, but to no avail. Professor Mutu spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

That audio from Te Papa is what scientists think a Moa might have sounded like back when they were roaming the country. Back in 2019 Ranfurly man Michael Johnston was out walking the dogs when he spotted moa footprints fossilised in the bed of the Kyeburn River. Since then, they've been studied by scientists to learn about the moa that made the footprints - and what's four years of waiting when it turns out, some of these footprints are at least 3.6 million years old. Tūhura Otago Museum natural science curator Kane Fleury spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Dignitaries have gathered in a small town in France for the opening of a new museum to honour New Zealand soldiers who died in Europe during the first World War.

Kuan and Luan talk us through their experiences of working onboard the research vessel and why expedition 399 was so special.  We also hear from previous guest and great friend of the show, Ashley Rowden (his interview on seamounts can be found in episode 30). We grabbed him quickly before he chaired the deep sea session at the New Zealand Marine Science Society conference and he treated us to a great story of James Cameron's involvement in a previous conference that Ashley was organising. We're really trying to make this project self-sustaining so we have started looking for ways to support the podcast. Here's a link to our page on how to support us, from the free options to becoming a patron of the show. And we want to thank our most recent patrons: Tammy Frank | Martin Pollizotto | Ray M | Nicole Vite-Liebl | Anna P | Eric Thanks again for tuning in, we'll deep-see you next time!   Check out our podcast merch here! Which now includes Alan's beloved apron and a much anticipated new design...    Feel free to get in touch with us with questions or your own tales from the high seas on: podcast@armatusoceanic.com We'd love to actually play your voice so feel free to record a short audio note!   We are also on: Twitter: @DeepSeaPod, @ArmatusO Facebook: DeepSeaPodcast, ArmatusOceanic  Instagram: @deepsea_podcast, @armatusoceanic   Keep up with the team on social media Twitter:  Alan - @Hadalbloke (https://twitter.com/Hadalbloke) Thom - @ThomLinley (https://twitter.com/ThomLinley)  Georgia - @geeinthesea (https://twitter.com/geeinthesea)    Instagram:  Georgia - @geeinthesea (https://www.instagram.com/geeinthesea/)    Read the show notes and find out more about us at: www.armatusoceanic.com   Glossary Archaea - Microorganisms similar to bacteria in size and simplicity, but are very different molecularly. They're thought to be the ancient intermediate group between bacteria and eukaryotes. Astrophysics - Astrophysics is a branch of space science that applies the laws of physics and chemistry to seek to understand the universe. Atlantis massif - An underwater mountain in the Atlantic Ocean. Core barrel - A plastic tube which collects the rock core from drilling into the sediment. Core samples - A long column of rock obtained by drilling into sediment or rock with a hollow steel tube. Deep biosphere - The expansive ecosystem of microbes which exist deep under the seabed. Derrick (on a ship) - A machine that is used to move things on a ship (similar to a crane). Drill cone - A tool which can crush rocks during the drilling process. Drill pipe - A hollow pipe used in drilling projects. Fault - A fracture or discontinuity in an area of rock because of big movements in the rock. Geochemistry - The study of the chemistry of geological materials such as rock, sediment, soil and water. Goblin shark - A species of deep-sea shark with a retractable jaw. IODP - International ocean discovery program. JOIDES Resolution - A drilling ship used by the IODP. Kaharoa - (RV Kaharoa) Research vessel owned by NIWA in New Zealand. Thom and Alan have conducted many expeditions from this vessel. Lost city hydrothermal field - An area of hydrothermal vents on the Atlantis Massif, in the Atlantic Ocean. Magnetite - Magnetite is a mineral and one of the main iron ores. Moho - Mohorovicic Discontinuity, or "Moho," is the boundary between the crust and the mantle. Narcomedusae - A type of hydrozoan (a gelatinous cnidarian similar to jellyfish). NIWA - (National Institute of Water and Atmospheric Research) based in Auckland, New Zealand. Olivine - The primary component of the Earth's upper mantle, it is a common mineral in Earth's subsurface, but weathers quickly on the surface. Peridotite - is a dense, coarse-grained igneous rock consisting mostly of the silicate minerals olivine and pyroxene. Most of the mantle is made up of this rock. Petrology - The branch of geology which explores the compositions, structures and origins of rocks. Serpentine - Hydrated version of Olivine. Serpentine is a group of minerals that are usually green in colour. Serpentinisation - The process of minerals such as olivine becoming serpentine. Shear zones - A zone in the Earth's crust or upper mantle that has been deformed due to the walls of rock on either side slipping past each other. Structural geology - The branch of geology which explored the form, arrangement and internal structure of rocks. Sunfish (Mola mola) - One of the largest bony fish in the world.    Links Info from the 399 Expedition  Ashley Rowden's NIWA bio New Zealand Marine Sciences Society conference Andrew McCaig's University of Leeds bio IODP website Luan Heywood's twitter Kuan-Yu Lin's twitter   News Pregnant goblin shark found Huge photophores found on giant squid Living under pressure supposedly heals the human body New species of jellyfish is discovered with fascinating new features BBC world oceans day and the ‘alien' life in the deep   Pantera - Cowboys from hell Youtube Spotify     Credits Theme – Hadal Zone Express by Märvel Logo image: Johan Swanepoel   #Podcast #scicomm #Science #MarineBiology #DeepSea #DeepOcean #AlanJamieson #discovery #Exp399 #AndrewMcCaig #JOIDESresolution #IODP #marinedrilling #deepseadrilling #geology #marinegeology #mantle #petrology #moho #serpentinization #atlantismassif #lostcity #biosphere #microbes #microbialecology #coldseeps #archaea #bacteria #fungi #hydrothermalvents #deepseaspecies #scicomm #deepseacreatures
