Regarding The Hui (Point 3 above) - I am NOT recommending it
to the political thread - the episode I referred to was half a
political panel - and I found the rest of it really interesting - but
basically, it does not have an election focus. I will continue to watch
- but from a Te Reo Plus focus).
Points that arose for me from the panel interview on the above: https://www.newshub.co.nz/
- Fabulous different viewpoints: Emmy Rakete from People Against Prisons - Prof Matt Roskrudge, Assistant Dean Māori at Massey - Mani Dunlop, journalist and Commons Practitioner (What's that??) - Chaired by Julian Wilcox
- About
the polls - is it all over? Lots can happen from here on in - despite
disappointment about lack of significant policy around taxation - the
non-voter is a problem (referred to as the "Nah" vote by Emmy) - Hipkins
is a skilled politician.
- Lots of whanau do not think much about politics until the final three or four weeks.
- There are lots of angry people for various reasons - and anger drives people toward the opposition, or not voting.
I
don't expect many of you will watch this - but if you do - is it just
me or is the conversation so fast it is hard to understand, especially
Emmy? I replayed sections in order to understand.
______________________________
For Te Reo Plus
However
- other segments from The Hui gave very positive slants on developments
in te Ao Māori .. and balanced out media stereotypes by presenting
stories of success.
- The second segment this week was about fashion week - great - developing young talent, and celebrating Māori design.
- The week before ((27/08) had an investigative section which fascinated me - a miscarriage of justice around a road accident from 6 years ago
- How's the film industry? New CEO of the Film commission was interviewed:
- Four of the five international best sellers have been Māori films - Boy, Hunt for the Wilderpeople, Once Were Warriors, Whalerider - and the fifth was the World's best Indian (a Southland story!). There's scope for more.
- And the film industry is "micro-credentialing" youth so that they are able to access working in the industry (previously folk needed to enrol in qualifications or have contacts - this did not attract diversity). With micro-credentialing it is possible to work for a few days and get paid - think wardrobe, make- up, catering and more.
One of my Te Reo Plus goals might be to keep an eye on The Hui.
