Back in April we were talking about the cost of funerals. A listener called Tom called in when we were discussing the cost of funerals. He told us he was planning a funeral - his own - as he has a potentially terminal sarcoma. As it is Sarcoma Awareness month Matt Heath and Tyler Adams thought it would be good to check in with Tom and also speak with Joanna Connor the Treasurer and Founding Member of the Sarcoma Foundation. She is a UK trained medical oncologist specialising in sarcoma and breast cancers and is tumour lead for sarcoma at Te Pūriri o Te Ora, Auckland Regional Cancer and Blood Service.

Full interview: Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds is overseeing huge changes to New Zealand's vocational education system. But after years of reform, could training providers stand alone as Te Pūkenga is dismantled? Q+A also asks Simmonds about her absence from major environmental policies — from freshwater management in farms to the fast-track approvals regime — as Environment Minister.

Today on the show…  - It's time for my political panel. Former Labour Party MP Stuart Nash and Political Commentator Ashley Church join me. We look at the latest poll which sends National into opposition after just one term. And Labour the Greens and Te Pāti Māori would govern if an election was held today.  - And Chris Luxon is neck and neck with Chris Hipkins as preferred PM. Luxon has never been popular so if he can't get National a second term, should they roll him? I'll ask the panel.  - Plus some Letters to the Editor!

The government has recently announced that Te Pūkenga is set to return to ‘regional governance,' re-establishing 10 polytechnics that were merged under the previous Labour-led government. For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to MP Simon Court about these developments with Te Pūkenga. They also discussed Labour MP, Camilla Belich's member's bill — the Employment Relations (Employee Remuneration Disclosure) Amendment Bill, passing its second reading. In the government, National are in support of the bill, however, New Zealand First, and ACT, are not. We discussed why ACT are not supportive of the bill, despite their coalition partner, National, being in support. But first, they discussed the re-establishment of the 10 polytechnics that were previously merged under Te Pūkenga.

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.

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.

Last week, The Green party issued a statement calling on the government to drop the Regulatory Standards Bill after the bill went through hearings at the select committee, with only 19 out of the total 208 submissions heard supporting the Bill. This week, the government confirmed their plan to re-establish 10 polytechnics that had been merged into Te Pūkenga under the previous labour government as part of the government's plan to gradually disestablish the wider institution. And the Greens recently announced that they wouldn't be standing any candidates of their own in the Tāmaki Makaurau by-elections, which are happening in September this year. For our weekly catchup with the Green Party, News and Editorial Director, Joel, spoke with MP Ricardo Menéndez March to get the party's take on all of these issues.

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?

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.

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."

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.

As novas técnicas de medicina nuclear garantem mais precisão no diagnóstico e no tratamento, e já beneficiam diversos pacientes no Instituto francês Gustave Roussy, em Villejuif, nos arredores de Paris. O centro, que é uma referência mundial no combate ao câncer, pretende expandir esses procedimentos para vários tipos de tumores malignos, como os da próstata, da mama e do sistema digestivo.  Taíssa Stivanin, da RFI em Paris Durante muito tempo, as técnicas da medicina nuclear foram usadas principalmente para detectar e tratar cânceres da tireoide, mas os avanços tecnológicos ampliaram as possibilidades terapêuticas.  Nos corredores do Instituto Gustave Roussy, Désirée Deandreis, especialista em medicina nuclear aplicada à oncologia e chefe do setor, não esconde sua empolgação diante da imprensa, convidada para uma visita ao centro. Ela cita casos de pacientes que serão ou já foram tratados pelas novas terapias que utilizam a radioatividade. Para alguns deles, elas representam a última esperança de sobrevida.  O instituto também comemora a dupla autorização da Agência Regional de Saúde e da Autoridade de Segurança Nuclear e Radioproteção da França para testar as novas opções terapêuticas já na fase 1 de ensaios clínicos com humanos.  O centro tem o privilégio de aliar pesquisa clínica e aplicada, permitindo que, em determinadas situações, os pacientes se beneficiem com segurança de tratamentos que ainda não passaram por todas as etapas de validação científica.  No caso da medicina nuclear, isso significa, na prática, que pela primeira vez novos radiofármacos poderão ser administrados no homem. Em janeiro de 2025, uma paciente com câncer de mama pôde, por exemplo, ser tratada com essas substâncias, uma possibilidade até então inédita.  Os radiofármacos são moléculas marcadas por elementos radioativos que reconhecem receptores, enzimas ou outras proteínas no organismo. Eles atingem as células cancerígenas com uma precisão única, poupando os tecidos saudáveis.  A detecção precoce e a localização do alvo tumoral são possíveis graças às novas técnicas de imagem que utilizam os chamados traçadores radioativos, que também podem ser usados para destruir o câncer.  “A ideia é testar novas moléculas para vários tipos de câncer. Por ora, os tratamentos se restringem aos cânceres raros e de próstata. Começamos também a utilizá-los em cânceres de mama e, neste inverno (na Europa), vamos testá-los nos cânceres digestivos. Queremos também detectar doenças que ainda não contam com opções terapêuticas. A meta é desenvolver pesquisas e encontrar moléculas eficazes”, explicou Désirée Deandreis.  As novas terapias com elementos radioativos também podem ser associadas a outras já existentes, como a quimioterapia ou a imunoterapia. “Não podemos esquecer da toxicidade, que é importante para a qualidade de vida do paciente”, lembra a especialista francesa. “Graças ao teranóstico (terapia e diagnóstico), somos capazes de selecionar o paciente e tratá-lo com a molécula mais adequada ao seu caso.”  Novos radiofármacos  A radiofarmácia do centro de medicina nuclear do Instituto Gustave Roussy é coordenada pela radiofarmacêutica Lison Ferréol. Antes de visitar o local, é necessário vestir roupas especiais para evitar qualquer tipo de contaminação radioativa e utilizar um medidor para verificar o nível de radiação.  Segundo ela, os radiofármacos têm diferentes funções e são usados em diagnósticos e terapias. Podem, por exemplo, aliviar a dor de metástases ósseas, tratar tumores neuroendócrinos, de próstata ou da tireoide. Também são utilizados para mapear o metabolismo da glicose em exames como o TEP (tomografia por emissão de pósitrons), que permite identificar o estágio do câncer.  “O princípio da medicina nuclear é sempre o mesmo: temos um vetor que não é radioativo e que permite levar a radioatividade até o local desejado, integrando-se a um metabolismo fisiológico ou patológico”, explica.  “O objetivo, no fim, é visualizar as células cancerígenas nos exames de imagem, para identificá-las, tratá-las e destruí-las, quando utilizamos radionuclídeos que emitem radiações destrutivas.”  Neste contexto, Désirée Deandreis também destaca a importância da personalização da trajetória do paciente. “Com a ajuda da pesquisa fundamental e aplicada, podemos entender melhor os fatores que influenciam as respostas dos pacientes, como a radioresistência, que é a capacidade de uma célula, tecido ou organismo de resistir aos efeitos da radiação ionizante. A meta é obter mais informações que nos ajudem a escolher os tratamentos com ainda mais precisão”, conclui.

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. But first, they discussed the suspension of the MPs.

Te Pāti Māori MPs, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer, Rawiri Waititi, and Hana Rāwhiti Maipi-Clarke have been suspended in Parliament.

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.

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.

All of that, plus: we exclusively read the full text of tomorrow's 2025 budget. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
