Szent Péter és Szent Pál apostol ** Mt 16,13-19 ** Amikor Jézus Fülöp Cézáreájának vidékére ment, megkérdezte tanítványait: ,,Kinek tartják az emberek az Emberfiát?'' Ők ezt felelték: ,,Egyesek Keresztelő Jánosnak, mások Illésnek, mások meg Jeremiásnak, vagy egynek a próféták közül.'' Erre megkérdezte őket: ,,És ti kinek tartotok engem?'' Simon Péter válaszolt: ,,Te vagy a Krisztus, az élő Isten Fia.'' Jézus azt felelte neki: ,,Boldog vagy, Simon, Jónás fia! Mert nem a test és vér nyilatkoztatta ki ezt neked, hanem az én Atyám, aki a mennyekben van. És mondom neked: Te Péter vagy, és én erre a kősziklára fogom építeni egyházamat, s az alvilág kapui nem vesznek erőt rajta. Neked adom a mennyek országának kulcsait. Amit megkötsz a földön, meg lesz kötve a mennyekben is, és amit feloldasz a földön, föl lesz oldva a mennyekben is.'' | Felolvassa: Varga László |

Today on the show... - The slick campaign from Te Pāti Māori to get Māori voters across to the Māori roll. - If it works - if Māori switch - it will be more than a stampede.

Today on Politics Friday, John MacDonald was joined by National's Vanessa Weenink and Labour's Megan Woods to delve into the biggest stories of the week. Parliament's pressed pause to remember Te Pāti Māori MP Takutai Tarsh Kemp after she died yesterday as a result of kidney disease – what will happen going forward? Doctors are unhappy with the Government's new virtual GP service, are they right to be? And what are their thoughts on taxpayer money potentially going to Moana Pasifika, with Whanau Ora's funding of the association that owns them?

A lot of interest is expected in the by-election to fill the seat left empty by the death of Takutai Tarsh Kemp. The 50-year-old Te Pāti Māori MP died yesterday. Otago University law expert Andrew Geddis told Mike Hosking the Tamaki Makaurau seat was won by just 42 votes in 2023 and will be very tightly contested again. The complicating factor this time is likely to be sympathy, he says, suspecting that Te Pāti Māori will likely run strongly on a kind of legacy argument. The by-election could clash with local body elections. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is the Zero RB strategy still viable in today's fantasy football landscape — or is it a trap waiting to blow up your draft? On this episode of Fantasy Football Daily, Davis Mattek joins the show to dissect the 2025 draft environment and explore whether fading early running backs can still lead to league-winning upside. We dive into: The ideal WR/TE starts in Rounds 1-2 How WR depth dominates flex spots Davis' favorite mid-round WR targets (Rice, JSN, Garrett Wilson, and more) How to recover if you miss out on elite tight ends in TEP formats Whether you need an elite QB for Zero RB to work Which RB archetypes to prioritize (pass-catchers, ambiguous backfields, upside bets) Round-by-round RB targets from Rounds 5 through 12+ If you're debating Zero RB, Anchor RB, or any hybrid build — this episode gives you the clarity (and the targets) to draft with confidence.

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.

We catch up on the week's political news. We look at the updates on the suspension of Te Pāti Māori MPs and the ways in which it is radicalising voters, the Michael Forbes case and the urgent need for an update to NZ legislation and the apparent battle between Musk and Trump.This episode's co-hostsKyle, PhilipTimestamps0:00 Opening 1:17 Te Pāti Māori Suspensions13:59 Radicalising Liberal Voters21:33 Michael Forbes31:10 Abuse of Power36:44 Musk v Trump45:01 ClosingsIntro/Outro by The Prophet MotiveSupport us here: https://www.patreon.com/1of200

Te Pāti Māori co-leaders and one of its MPs are beginning their suspension from Parliament after unprecedented punishments against them were confirmed. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Te Pāti Māori's co-leaders Debbie Ngarewa-Packer and Rawiri Waititi are now suspended from Parliament for 21 days, their MP Hana-Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke for seven. Political reporter Russell Palmer has more.

Tensions are high in the House, as MPs go head-to-head over proposed sanctions for Te Pāti Māori MPs. The Privileges Committee has recommended seven, and 21-day suspensions for three of its MPs - for actions during a haka performed at last year's Treaty Principles Bill vote. NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan unpacks the action from the debate. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Parliament's revisiting potential penalties for three Te Pāti Māori MPs - after the hearing was initially postponed so as not to distract from the 2025 Budget. Proposed suspensions for the three MPs in question are being debated in the House, in relation to their actions during last year's Treaty Principles Bill vote. Political commentator Bryce Edwards has observed there's been plenty of fire from the major political parties - except for Labour. "They're trying to take a sort of middle way and it's hard work for Labour to sort of navigate when the public - or at least Labour's voters - are in favour of some tough measures against the Te Pāti Māori MPs." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

More than half of voters consider the proposed penalty for Te Pāti Māori co-leaders to be either appropriate or too lenient - according to the latest RNZ Reid Research poll. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch reports.

Parliament's picking up where it left off last month, debating proposed sanctions on three Te Pāti Māori MPs. The Privileges Committee's suggested Rawiri Waititi and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer be suspended for 21 days, and Hana-Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke for seven. The three had performed a haka during a vote on the Treaty Principles Bill last year. Leader of the House Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking he just wants the debate over and done with. He says we need to deal with the issue, but it's a distraction from the need for economic growth, and he hopes it's dealt with swiftly at Parliament this afternoon.

This week on the Monday Wire: For our weekly catchup with Te Pāti Māori's Takutai Kemp, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, speaks to her about Budget 2025 and its impacts on Māori initiatives, and the deferral of the debate into the suspension of Te Pāti Māori MPs. For our weekly catchup with the ACT Party's Simon Court, Joel speaks to him also about Budget 2025, specifically around spending on education and how the Budget will impact young people. They speak to Brian Roper — an Associate Professor in Politics at the University of Otago, about the 2025 Budget, and how much of an impact this Budget will have for the National Party's chances of a re-election. And they speak to the Co-Founder and General Manager of KickBack, Aaron Hendry, about his concerns with Budget 2025 in addressing the youth homelessness crisis. Whakarongo mai.

Last week, Finance Minister, Nicola Willis, announced her ‘growth' Budget for 2025. In the Budget, multiple initiatives received a boost in funding.  Operational funding and capital funding for Māori education received a $54 million boost and $50 million boost respectively for Māori learner success, with a $14 million injection for Māori wardens, Pacific wardens, and the Māori women's welfare league. However, a variety of Māori initiatives have faced substantial cuts. The Māori Development Fund has had $20 million cut over four years, $32.5 million has been cut from Māori housing initiatives, and $375.5 million cut to the Kāhui Ako programme. Labour's Māori Development spokesperson, Willie Jackson, claims that overall, in Budget 2025, Māori initiatives are seeing cuts of roughly $750 million. For our weekly catchup, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to Te Pāti Māori's Takutai Kemp about Budget 2025 and it's impacts on Māori initiatives. They also spoke about the debate on the potential suspension of Te Pāti Māori co-leaders, Rawiri Waititi, and Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, and MP Hana Rawhiti Maipi-Clarke, being pushed back prior to the Budget debate.  As well as this, notably, during the Budget debate itself, both Waititi and Ngarewa-Packer were absent. However, they first discussed the 2025 Budget and Māori initiatives

An interesting subplot to Thursday's Budget, and the Parliamentary debate after it, was the absence of the Te Pāti Māori leaders from the house. Māori News Journalist Pokere Paewai reports.

Unprecedented punishments imposed on Te Pāti Māori MPs, and the scramble to avoid banning them from the budget debate, is top of the agenda this week. Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire assess the fallout, before rewinding to last week's theatrical parliamentary controversy, all of which stemmed from a C-word in a newspaper column, and led Winston Peters, doyen of parliamentary decorum, to deplore a “House of Chaos” (by which he did not mean the popular monthly techno night at Firecrackers nightclub in Ashburton).

Te Pāti Māori MPs now have to wait until next month to find out if they will get the harshest punishment the Privileges Committee has ever handed out. Māori news journalist Tuwhenuaroa Natanahira reports.

The debate over the punishments faced by Te Pāti Māori MPs was cut short on Tuesday after just two speeches, when Leader of the House Chris Bishop moved the debate be postponed to June, after the Budget. Bishop spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The government's blindsided the opposition by postponing the debate about punishments for Te Pāti Māori over last year's Treaty Principles haka. Political reporter Russell Palmer has more.

Political parties are preparing for what could be a protracted debate tomorrow surrounding the proposed penalties for three Te Pāti Māori MPs. Parliament's Privileges Committee recommended the party's co-leaders be suspended for an unprecedented 21 days for breaking the rules with a haka. MPs will tomorrow consider the proposal - but the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said he's not willing to compromise. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch spoke to Lisa Owen.

Political parties are gearing up for an extraordinary debate on Tuesday over the punishment that should be handed out to Te Pāti Māori MPs over their Treaty Principles Bill haka. Political Reporter Russell Palmer has more.
