In this explosive episode, Duncan Garner breaks down the late-night social media outbursts from Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris, calling out his openly racist rhetoric, defiance of party leadership, and the growing silence from key political figures, including Labour's Chris Hipkins. From Ferris' offensive comments targeting Indian, Asian, and Black Labour supporters, to his refusal to apologise and continued race-based tirades — Duncan doesn't hold back. Is Ferris destroying the credibility of Te Pāti Māori? Should he be expelled from Parliament? And why is the mainstream political response so muted? Also in this episode: ⚠️ Commentary from Willie Jackson

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon specifically referenced Ireland and Singapore as “two economies we often look to for inspiration on investment and technology”, John Key imagined the country as the “Switzerland of the South Pacific”. But based on the research of academic Angus Dowell on how big-tech cloud providers expand and dominate markets across the globe, he argues such comparisons are simplistic and misleading. Angus joins us tonight LIVE at 9pm to talk over the issueAngus' article here https://theconversation.com/politicians-love-comparing-nzs-economy-to-singapore-or-ireland-but-its-simplistic-and-misleading-264679An Israeli strike that Israel claims targeted top Hamas leaders Wednesday as they gathered in the Gulf nation of Qatar marked a major escalation in the war in Gaza with some in the middle east saying this ends the chance of a cease fire as Israel has now bombed 6 countries or regions in 2025In direct defiance of his co-leaders, Te Pāti Māori MP Tākuta Ferris is doubling down on his criticism of non-Māori people supporting Labour's Peeni Henare's by-election campaign.

Te Pāti Māori has held onto the Tāmaki Makaurau seat, left vacant by the death of Takutai Tarsh Kemp. Incoming MP Oriini Kaipara spoke to Corin Dann.

Te Pāti Māori's Oriini Kaipara has won decisively over Labour's Peeni Henare to become Tāmaki Makaurau's next MP. 1News Political Editor Maiki Sherman analyses the results, how Te Pāti Māori's social media game has encouraged people to go out and vote, what it could mean for Labour ahead of next year's election, and why voter turnout remained so low.

Te Pāti Māori has apologised after one of its MPs attacked Labour's Tāmaki Makaurau candidate on Instagram. Tākuta Ferris posted a photo of Labour MPs and volunteers posing with a Peeni Henare billboard, saying it was mind-blowing to see "Indians, Asians, Black and Pakeha" campaigning to "take a Māori seat away from a Māori". Te Pāti Māori's co-leaders have asked Mr Ferris to remove the post and apologised for any hurt it caused. Political reporter Lillian Hanly spoke to Lisa Owen.

We Went to the Edges of Time is a new solo exhibition by artist Kathy Barry currently on at Melanie Roger Gallery.  Based in Te Whanganui-a-Tara, Barry represented Aotearoa on the international stage at the 32nd São Paolo Biennal in 2016, and was selected in 2023 as the recipient of the prestigious C Art Trust Award. Her first substantial survey exhibition in a public installation, Energy Work, with artist Sarah Smuts-Kennedy, was curated by Christina Barton for Te Pātaka Toi Adam Art Gallery in 2022.  In We Went to the Edges of Time, Barry has further explored the mode of making that has underpinned her practice since 2012, where she lets go of artistic agency, letting energy fields guide her watercolour drawings.  Through a series of geometric mappings, the viewer is pulled into the energetic frequencies of Barry's work and invited down a pathway of sorts to healing beyond familiar dimensions.  Sofia had a kōrero with Kathy Barry about the exhibition, her process, and these ideas of relinquishing artistic agency.

I can't blame you if your assessment of Parliament today is that it's become a circus, because what happened today is kind of hard to defend or even explain. Chlöe was kicked out, Brownlee suspended her for a week and all of the Government parties voted for that punishment - and that includes New Zealand First, before Winston Peters then got up to tell Jerry Brownlee that the punishment wasn't fair, even though he just voted for the punishment. And then Debbie got up and said the C-word again. Now, Chlöe did actually break the rules. I mean, this is another one of those seemingly arbitrary or hard to explain rules in Parliament - that MPs can't accuse each other of being cowards. Nick Smith did it in 2003, he accused MPs across the house of not having the spine to debate a vote. He withdrew and apologized. Steve Chadwick did it in 2007, she accused the opposition of being absolutely gutless and spineless. She withdrew and apologized. John Key did it in 2015, quite famously when he yelled at Labour to get some guts over the war, but he got away with it and actually probably shouldn't have. So Chlöe did break the rules. But then, Debbie got up and said the C-word, and she didn't break the rules. So explain that. How is accusing other MPs of being spineless worse than dropping the C-bomb in the House of Representatives? I mean, sure, one is aimed at someone and the other one is just a swear word that's been dropped. But when you get into explaining that level of nuance on offensiveness, I think you've lost the audience. Plus, why is Gerry Brownlee all of a sudden the tough cop? I mean, this is the guy who was wringing his hands over the Māori Party getting kicked out of Parliament for 3 weeks for the haka in David Seymour's face and for refusing to turn up to the Privileges Committee and for them leaking the recommended punishment from the Privileges Committee. But when Chlöe says basically the same thing that John Key once said without punishment, Jerry comes down on her like a ton of bricks. Frankly, none of this makes sense anymore. I mean, it does on a level of detail and minutia, sure, but explaining it to a normal person, no sense whatsoever. But guess who's loving this? Chlöe's loving this, because Chlöe's learned from Te Pāti Māori and the haka that there's one surefire way to get attention, and that's to break the rules of Parliament and not be sorry. What a circus. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lets go through all the participants rosters in this crazy 14-man super flex TEP league and figure out who built the strongest roster. Who do you think build the strongest team? Comment below!X- @Champs_Podcast

The government has announced that Te Pūkenga is set to return to ‘regional governance,' re-establishing 10 polytechnics that were merged under the previous Labour-led government. In 2020 under the previous Labour-led government, 16 polytechnics and nine industry training organisations were merged into the mega-institute Te Pūkenga, as a “head office”. Despite this, the polytechnics were allowed to maintain their unique images and continue operating. Vocational Education Minister, Penny Simmonds, announced the move, to establish a vocational education system that is “locally led, regionally responsible, and future-focused”. The move has faced backlash. The Tertiary Education Union's national secretary, Sandra Grey, says the move would be a disaster for regional education and that the sector is being treated as a “political football”. For our weekly catchup with the Labour Party, News and Editorial Director Joel spoke with MP Shanon Halbert, about this move from the government. They also discussed Te Pāti Māori members expressing concerns over Labour's choice of running MP Peeni Henare in the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pāti Māori media liaison, Kiri Tamihere-Waititi, says a vote for Henare would be “wasted,” as Henare already has a seat in Parliament. She has called for people to vote for Te Pāti Māori's candidate, Oriini Kaipara, so that there would be two Tāmaki Makaurau-based Māori MPs in Parliament. But first, they discussed vocational education.

This week on the Thursday Wire: For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke to MP Shanon Halbert about the re-establishment on TEN polytechnics that were previously merged under Te Pūkenga, and Te Pāti Māori members accusing the party of being ‘greedy' for running MP Peeni Henare in the upcoming Tāmaki Makaurau by-election. For this week's City Counselling, Producer Sara spoke with Councillor Julie Fairey about her recent biking accident and her hopes for road safety in Auckland, as well as the recently released State of the City report. For International Desk, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Natasha Lindstaedt from the University of Essex on the backslide of democracy in Georgia, particularly due to Russian influence, and the public response. Joel spoke to Tom Wilkinson, a PhD Candidate in History at the University of Auckland, about Israeli Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, nominating US President, Donald Trump, for a Nobel Peace Prize. And on Monday, Producer Sam spoke to Peter Adams, a Professor in the School of Population Health at the University of Auckland, about the government's alcohol levy, in light of recent lobbying by the alcohol industry.

The Tertiary Education Union is calling the government's disestablishment of Te Pūkenga a "disaster for regional New Zealand". Russel Palmer reports.

The future of four polytechs is uncertain as the government moves to un-wind the merger of Polytechs into the super-institute Te Pūkenga. Tertiary Education Union national secretary Sandra Grey spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In today's episode, Auckland risks being cast into obscurity as "a global city" according to a just released report; The Commerce Commission is filing civil proceedings against Foodstuffs North Island and the wholesaler Gilmours - alleging cartel conduct; The future of four polytechs is uncertain as the government moves to un-wind the merger of Polytechs into the super-institute Te Pūkenga; You might pay $30,000 or more to a real estate salesperson to sell your home. But is it worth the money?

Moves have been made to restore regional governance to 10 polytechnics. The Government is undoing Labour's merger of institutes under the Te Pūkenga umbrella. The 10 selected are deemed to be on a path to financial viability - and will stand alone from next year. Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says these changes will hopefully help the regions boost employment in the sectors calling out for workers.

The Government's assuring industry groups they'll still have influence as polytechnics change. Next year, 10 polytechs will return to regional governance - but four remain under Te Pūkenga's umbrella. More decisions will be made mid-next year. Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds says these 10 institutions are following a planned pathway designed to boost long-term viability. "This is work that should have happened 5-6 years ago, it's happened now - and they are getting rid of the wasteful spending, they are getting themselves back on track."

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.

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.
