Podcasts about te tiriti

Nel quinto episodio di Te Tiriti per Italiani Miriam Sessa, Davide Castorina e Angelo Tedoldi parlano delle persone che materialmente redassero e tradussero Te Tiriti o Waitangi nel 1840. È importante capire che esistono due versioni del trattato: quella scritta in inglese e quella tradotta in Te Reo per i 503 Rangatira convenuti a Waitangi per discutere il trattato. Miriam spiega i contenuti del trattato che fu presentato con un preambolo orale per affermare l'indipendenza maori e promuovere idee di convivenza e coesistenza tra la popolazione maori e i sudditi britannici residenti e futuri. Miriam spiega i tre articoli + il quarto aggiuntivo che costituisco il trattato, come sono stati espressi in Te Reo nel febbraio 1840 e del loro significato all'interno della cultura maori. L'enfasi di questo episodio è di mettere in luce le differenze profonde tra la versione inglese e quella in Te Reo, con implicazioni significative anche per la realtà sociopolitica contemporanea. La versione in Te Reo è riconosciuta dall'ONU come l'accordo storico fondamentale per la protezione dei diritti dei Māori, in linea con la Dichiarazione dei Diritti dei Popoli Indigeni delle Nazioni Unite.

The Government will stop unelected individuals from voting on council committees, a move an Act MP has described as closing an anti-democratic loophole. It seems like a no brainer. Why should unelected individuals have the right to vote on council committees? Of course people who have never been elected to a council or a government shouldn't be given voting rights. You can certainly ask people for their opinion, their informed comment, but voting rights? The issue of unelected New Zealanders being appointed to council committees and then having voting rights has been in the news recently, predominantly around the Far North where hapū representatives were confirmed to be put on a committee tasked with shaping Māori strategic relationships and embedding Te Tiriti based partnership in council decision making. Fair enough, getting their opinions. Absolutely. You would imagine that hapū representatives are the best people to talk about how to shape Māori strategic relationships and how they see Te Tiriti being enacted through council decision making. Totally fair enough. Where it gets a bit murky is that they have full speaking and voting rights alongside elected representatives. They're also paid the daily rate. They don't have to accept it, but they are paid a daily rate of around about 250 bucks plus travel costs plus any childcare, just as elected representatives can ask for. They can volunteer their time and their knowledge, but if they want to be paid, they will be. They wouldn't make final decisions, but they would vote on the issues that would be heard at full council. ACT leader David Seymour said anyone voting on council decisions should be accountable, including facing elections, and the party lodged a member's bill to prohibit voting rights for unelected appointees. But Simon Watts, Local Government Minister, has basically cut their lunch and announced that non-elected individuals can be appointed to offer their professional advice, they can represent communities, but they will not be able to vote or count towards a quorum. The statutory committees and appointments, including those agreed as part of a treaty settlement though, will be excluded. WATTS: This is a specific board set up for Auckland Council. Short answer is, is that for the Independent Māori Statutory Board, those members will only be able to vote on council committees where the law specifically enables it, and what that means is, is that that committee's set up under a different act. HDPA: So they retain their voting rights? WATTS: If it's related to the specific act. So it relates to where they're doing the management of natural and physical resources. If they're on a subcommittee doing that, then they're able to vote. Anything else, they're not able to. So, does that clear it up? I would be really interested to hear from a range of interests as to how council decisions will impact, and some will vary more than others. If you're in Wellington right now, for example, and you're in council, you would want to hear from businesses as to how decisions made by the council have impacted upon them. The cycle lanes, the development of, or the neglect really, the lack of development around the bridge, the Paremata Bridge and the library, the reopening of the library, the cost of that, the redevelopment of the Michael Fowler Centre. You would want representatives from business to say, look, this is our experience, this is what's happening, make your decisions perhaps based on that. If you're Māori in the Far North and you're dealing with issues around Māori land or the rating of Māori land, the re-rating of Māori land, or water, tourism perhaps, you would definitely want a Māori lens, a Māori perspective. But if you're going to be making decisions so that some issues don't make it to full council, elected members might not even know that there was an issue because it's been dealt with by these unelected representatives and they have voted on what the elected members of the council will actually see, I think it's a different story. Imagine if the Government asked a panel of Newstalk ZB hosts for their reckons to shape policy and then vote on it as to what would get to Parliament. You know, basically act as a select committee. I don't think so. You wouldn't stand for that. And if we want to have our reckons represented at a council level or government level, then we stand. We stand as councillors, mayors, we stand as MPs. There are 33 Māori across all parties in Parliament, representing a huge range of views and lived experiences, which is fantastic. We have councillors, chief executives, highly regarded mayors, all Māori. And I'd be really interested to hear the views of Māori, particularly in how it relates to land and water management. But if you're not elected, I don't think you should have a vote. Have a reckon by all means, but not a vote. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We speak with Tory Whanau about the Mana Wāhine inquiry in which the Waitangi Tribunal is hearing more than 200 claims the Crown has failed in it's obligation to protect wāhine Māori in public and leadership roles from abuse, misogyny, and racism.The govt will amend references to the Treaty of Waitangi in 19 pieces of legislation to ensure the principles are 'clear and consistent', which a coalition agreement made by NZ-First. Is this just NZF's Treaty Principles Bill?In a Fox and Friends segment, the hosts conflate the rise of socialist policies with the 'Red Wave' communism scare of the cold war era. The parallel of how the Left condemn the rise of fascism, and the Right fearmonger about socialism is jarring.++++++++++++++++++++Like us on Facebook.com/BigHairyNetwork Follow us on Twitter.com/@bighairynetworkFollowing us on TikTok.com/@bighairynetworkSupport us on Patreon www.patreon.com/c/BigHairyNewsCheck out our merch https://bhn.nz/shop/Donate to our work https://bhn.nz/shop/donation/

This week on the Tuesday Wire... For Dear Science this week, our expert, Dr Cushla McGoverin, speaks with us about AI spotting Pancreatic Cancer, Foetal surgery, and Yellowstone. For our weekly catchup with the National Party, I spoke with Ryan Hamilton about the emails between Foreign Minister Winston Peters and Prime Minister Christopher Luxon released last week, what they mean for growing tensions and instability within the coalition, and proposed changes to Treaty Obligations that would see the Te Tiriti only need to be ‘taken into account'. For Green World today, Producer Liam spoke with Max Harvey from the University of Otago, who lead a recent research study about the habitat usage of the Hector's dolphin, about the research that they carried out on dolphin populations in Southland, what they discovered and what it tells us about how we can better look after this dolphin species.  Liam also spoke to Professor Sally Gaw from the University of Canterbury, about the government's new rules to reduce the amount of lead in drinking water pipes, what this means for New Zealand and why it was not done sooner.  And Producer Flo spoke to Doctor Lucy Goodman, researcher at the University of Auckland's School of Optometry and Vision Science about her study into accessible eye health and potential government funding of eye care.

Hana Pilkinton-Ching from Action Station and the Dental for All campaign joins us live to give an update on the latest policy paper they have released.The Treaty is under threat once again with a new bill to be introduced before the election that is to the same extend is not more harmful than the govt's Treaty Principles Bill.Luxon says he was "mischaracterised" in the emails leaked by NZ First but refuses to offer any evidence that backs him up.

On the 10th of November 2024 Hikoi mo te Tiriti set off from Cape Reinga for Parliament. The hikoi was a march against the Treaty Principle Bill. By the time it arrived in Wellington nine days later, it had become one of New Zealand's largest ever protest movements with up to 100 thousand people involved. Among those walking was documentary film-maker Whatanui Flavell His film about the experience "KA ORA TONU - When We Walk" airs on TVNZ this Sunday morning.

Nel quarto episodio di Te Tiriti per Italiani Miriam Sessa, Davide Castorina e Angelo Tedoldi parlano dei giorni precedenti al trattato di Waitangi e dei personaggi fondamentali del momento: Lord Normanby, il Segretario di Stato per le Colonie, Capitan Williams Hobson, luogotenente -governatore, che arrivò solo qualche giorno prima malato in Aotearoa, and James Busby. Il 5 febbraio 1840, più di 500 Māori si riunirono a Waitangi per discutere il contenuto del trattato proposto dalla Corona britannica. La versione Māori del trattato fu letta ad alta voce da Henry Williams e suo figlio Edward, missionari che avevano tradotto il testo in te reo Māori. Il trattato veniva proposto da William Hobson per stabilire un'autorità britannica e creare un accordo legale con i capi Māori. L'obiettivo, secondo i britannici, era di portare "ordine" tra coloni europei e popolazioni indigene. Tuttavia, i capi Māori avevano preoccupazioni profonde. Molti di loro erano esperti negoziatori e leader politici, consapevoli delle conseguenze di firmare un documento che avrebbe potuto limitare la loro sovranità (rangatiratanga). Altri capi, tuttavia, riconobbero i vantaggi potenziali di un accordo con la Corona. La discussione durò tutto il giorno.   Per il supporto alla realizzazione di questo programma, Ondazzurra ringrazia il Ministry of Ethnic Communities, che promuove la diversità ed inclusione in Aotearoa, e COGS Auckland City, che sostiene iniziative non-profit rivolte alla comunità.  https://www.ethniccommunities.govt.nz/

Back in 2020, two new guidelines were introduced to support schools in teaching Relationships and Sexuality Education. The guidelines were introduced by the then Associate Education Minister and New Zealand First MP, Tracey Martin, after reports from the Education Review Office showed inconsistencies in how schools taught this subject - alongside significant gaps. The new guidelines brought greater emphasis to sexuality and gender diversity, Māori and Pacific views of sexuality, the use of digital technologies, and information about relationships and sexuality education for disabled learners. However, the current government scrapped these guidelines as part of a coalition agreement with New Zealand First, who campaigned on removing the guidelines, which they called ‘woke gender ideology.' The new proposed guidelines for relationships and sex education are significantly different to those introduced back in 2020. For this week's Get Action, Producer Theo spoke to Leonie Morris from Te Wāhi Wāhine o Tāmaki Makaurau - the Auckland Women's centre - on their petition to bring back Te Tiriti-based, inclusive relationships and Sexuality education in schools. If you'd like to sign this petition, you can find it here.

In questo terzo episodio Miriam Sessa, Francesca Marzatico e Davide Castorina ci raccontano il primo periodo di incontro e commercio tra i Māori e gli europei. Gli inizi della storia coloniale neozelandese sono legati a quella australiana, dove la Corona inglese stabilisce una colonia penale. Sydney diventa il punto di partenza per gli interessi economici verso la NZ, per le risorse naturali come lino, balene, foche, legname. La chiesa anglicana sviluppa interessi ad evangelizzare Aotearoa volendo stabilire missioni presso i maori (colonizzazione dell'anima) e aprire la strada all'impero britannico attraverso l'evangelizzazione. Nel 1820 alcuni capi maori viaggiano in Inghilterra volendo conoscere i corrispondenti capi dell'Impero britannico. Impatti positivi come nuove tecniche agricole, introduzione delle patate, armi da fuoco, alfabetizzazione, apprendimento della scrittura; e negativi come le battaglie e decimazioni intertribali delle muskets wars. Nel 1835 la confederazione di 52 Rangatira, capi maori del nord, firma He Whakaputanga, primo documento costituzionale della NZ, tuttora documento vivo, che dichiara una nazione con assoluta indipendenza e sovranità maori sul territorio.

James discusses Gisborne's "in-house" water services plans getting government approval, the local deer hunt feeding families, Tairawhiti schools pledge to uphold Te Tiriti despite law change and a long serving search and rescue volunteer is recognised.

The Ipsos New Zealand survey has shown Labour is the most trusted party for eight of the top 10 most important issues to voters. This includes issues like cost of living, healthcare, and the economy.  The Government has amended the Education and Training Act to remove the requirement for school boards to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.  A petition calling for a minimum age of 16 to access social media has been handed over to Parliament.  And the Government is halting prescriptions of puberty blockers for young people with gender dysphoria, while continuing to allow them for cisgender young people. For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Shanan Halbert about all of these topics.

Rosetta and Milly have a kōrero with Holli McEntegart, one of the organisers behind the fourth iteration of the Inhabit Project; Ngakinga. Ngakinga is a collaboration between Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples and native and non-native plants to co-create public art, ritual and other care practices that weave together our diverse ancestral threads while respecting Māori sovereignty, in honor ultimately of Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Whakarongo mai nei!

Recently, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill passed its third and final reading. The bill has raised concerns amongst many for a variety of reasons, including its lack of recognition of Te Tiriti o Waitangi, the risks it poses to the environment, and what opponents say is its ‘narrow neoliberal framework'. The bill, during public submissions, received 156,000 submissions, with over 98% voicing their opposition to the proposed legislation. News and Editorial Director Joel spoke to Geoffrey Bertram, a visiting scholar and retired lecturer at the Victoria University of Wellington about the bill, why it is so polarising, and what the passing of this bill means heading forward.

A growing number of school boards are making public statements confirming their commitment to the Treaty after the Government announced it would cut the requirements. Previously, the Education Act said schools must ensure their plans, policies, and local curriculum reflect tikanga Māori, but the Government's looking to change it. Queens High school board chair Kate Keddell says schools have been weaving in Te Tiriti obligations into curriculums and the standards won't impact students. "We're just continuing on with the focus that we've been asked to do in the last few years...we are weaving it into our strategies." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A few weeks ago, Kelston Boys High School in West Auckland said they were at the front of an unsupported, attempted takeover to turn the school into a charter school. As well as this, more recently, the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, a charter school set to be established next year, was signed with a trust that did not exist. Amendments have also been made to the Education and Training Act, removing a clause requiring school boards give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. The move has seen backlash from the National Iwi Chairs Forum and a growing number of schools, who have launched a petition against the move.  Finally, the controversial Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its third reading and is now set to be implemented into law. The bill previously received 156,000 public submissions, with 98.7% of those voicing their opposition to the bill. For our weekly catch-up with ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about these topics. They started off by asking Court about Kelston Boys High School and the New Zealand Campus of Innovation and Sport, and how concerning these developments are for the ACT Party.

Concerns have been raised that rough sleepers will be pushed into unfamiliar suburbs outside of Auckland CBD, following government ministers' consideration of new measures. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says he had been tasked with making sure police were equipped to halt public disorder. When questioned explicitly about the ban, he said, "We're working our way through those issues... when we've got something to announce, we'll announce that." As well as this, the Regulatory Standards Bill has passed its second reading in Parliament, having seen a few changes made to the bill in the select committee process. The bill, having received 156,000 public submissions, almost 99% in opposition to the bill, is controversial. Constitutional experts and critics of the bill have expressed concerns that the amendments do not address its failings, and the “ideological” way it has been written means that if passed, the bill will have a lasting impact. The bill also lacks references to Te Tiriti o Waitangi. For our weekly catch-up with ACT Party's Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about both these topics.

CATHERINE WEDD to the Minister for Economic Growth: What action is the Government taking to increase supermarket competition as well as drive economic growth? Hon CARMEL SEPULONI to the Associate Minister of Education: Was it his intention in reinstating the charter school model that a community group could mount a takeover bid of a State school without the support of that school; if so, has such a takeover bid been made regarding Kelston Boys' High School? DANA KIRKPATRICK to the Minister of Conservation: What recent announcements has he made about the Hauraki Gulf/Te Pataka kai o Tikapa Moana? DEBBIE NGAREWA-PACKER to the Minister of Education: Does she agree with the president of Te Whakaroputanga Kaitiaki Kura o Aotearoa - New Zealand School Boards Association, Meredith Kennett, that "to understand attendance and achievement statistics for rangatahi Maori, you have to understand our history - and that includes Te Tiriti"; if so, how does she justify her decision to remove the Te Tiriti o Waitangi requirement from education governance?

A leader of the Toitu Te Tiriti movement, Eru Kapa-Kingi announced it was severing its ties with Te Pāti Māori. 

Te Pāti Māori is trying to contain internal ructions - after a key ally and protest group severed ties - and critics from in-and-outside the party pile on.The leadership is rejecting the claims - but admits a reset is on the way. A former co-leader says it's needed. Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports. 

The Toitū Te Tiriti protest movement has cut ties with Te Pāti Māori - with its spokesperson accusing the political party of being ego-driven and having a dictatorship model. Te Pāti Māori has pushed back - saying all decisions have been made through proper processes - and no formal complaints have ever been lodged. Acting political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen. 

An ex-Māori party co-leader suspects problems within the current cohort as an influential former supporter cut ties. Toitū Te Tiriti's Eru Kapa-Kingi's described the party's leadership as "effectively a dictatorship model". The party's emailed members overnight, saying it remains committed to transparency, accountability, and unity. Former co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell told Mike Hosking he's not close to the leadership but based on the last few weeks there could be issues. Flavell's pointing to the fall out around Takuta Ferris and the removal of Mariameno Kapa-Kingi as whip. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

INTERVIEW: GENEVA AM releases song/video 'Toitū Te Tiriti' by Maddy Barnes on Radio One 91FM Dunedin

Hearings on the regulatory standards bill are currently underway, with around 23,000 total submissions both written and oral. Early analysis of the submissions estimated 88% percent are in opposition, while only 0.3% are in support.  The bill has been pushed by Minister for Regulation and ACT Party leader David Seymour, who says it should support the government to reduce regulation and ensure the protection of individual rights and private property. The bill has been criticised for not including clauses around Te Tiriti o Waitangi or environmental protections. It has also been criticised for potentially undemocratic elements, placing large amounts of control in the hands of the unelected Ministry for Regulation. In our weekly catch-up with the National party, Wire host Castor asked Tom Rutherford about the regulatory standards bill in light of the select committee hearings and new criticisms.

The recommended suspension for Te Pāti Māori MPs, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Rawiri Waititi, and Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, over the MP's haka in Parliament during the first reading of the Treaty Principles Bill last year. Co-leaders Ngarewa-Packer and Waititi will be suspended from the House for 21-days, with Maipi-Clarke facing a seven day suspension. This is Parliament's harshest sanctions in the country's history. Prior to this, the longest suspension an MP had faced in Parliament was three days. The debate had previously been delayed so that the MPs could participate in the Budget debate — however, both co-leaders were not present at the debate. During the debate MP Tākuta Ferris said that the debate was not about the haka, but at the heart, it was the House continuing to ignore Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Māori sovereignty, and that the “racism” in the House is hardly being hidden. For our weekly catch-up, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Te Pāti Māori's Takutai Kemp about the suspension, and what's next for the party. They also discussed NZ First Party Leader Winston Peters' comments regarding Waititi's moko, referring to the MPs moko kanohi as “scribbles”. He was asked to apologise by the Speaker, which he did. But first, they discussed the suspension of the MPs.

The committee accepted close to 300,000 public submissions, with 90% opposing the bill, roughly 270,000, 8% in support, and 2% indifferent. News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the spokesperson for Toitu te Tiriti and Professional Teaching Fellow in the Faculty of Law at the University of Auckland, Eru Kapa-Kingi, about these recent developments and how he believes the Hīkoi mō te Tiriti has come into play regarding the public submission protest.

Last week, Libelle, one of the three providers of the school lunch programme went into liquidation. The company provided around 125,000 lunches daily.  Compass Group, one of the other key providers of the programme stepped in on Friday to acquire and take over Libelle's operations.  Despite this save, Compass group has been no stranger to issues since the programme was launched. With repeated incidents of late or no delivery, melted plastic in food, frozen food, food so hot it burnt children and ham being given to halal students - to name a few.  For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party Producer Evie spoke to Simon Court about how the liquidation may affect the already controversial programme.  They also discussed NZ First's Members Bill looking to scrap Diversity, Equity and Inclusion targets… as well as the ACT Party's continued critiques of the University of Auckland's compulsory Te Tiriti o Waitangi course.

With Dr Thom and The Professor busy prepping for their upcoming expeditions offshore, we had time to squeeze out one more episode before they set sail. We caught up with the legendary Di Tracey from NIWA to talk all things deep-water corals. How they live, what makes them different from their shallow water relatives, and how they are adapted to life in the deep dark ocean. Di's long career in deep-sea ecology is also intertwined with her extensive work in making the marine sciences a better place for women to work. She talks us through what it was like to begin her career offshore, often being the only woman on board, and how she helped change the industry for the better.  In the news this week we have a few exciting new updates. We can indeed confirm that as of our last episode where we spoke about the vulnerability of subsea cables, there were multiple apparent attacks and cables were cut. We can only assume that hostile nations do indeed listen to the deep-sea podcast (thanks for subscribing!). Andrew is back from his stint offshore and he is chock-full of stories for us. Brand new dragonfish species, near-misses with box jellyfish and also some cookie-cutter sharks.
