In the headlines today, 35,000 people marched to the Octagon on Saturday in protest of recent changes to the new Dunedin Hospital build, resources for National’s new maths curriculum in schools will be paid for by axing a programme that helps teachers learn te reo Māori, countries are warning nurses not to move to New Zealand, and more.
In stories, we invite Michael Swanson, PhD candidate from Ōtakou Whakaihu-Waka's Politics department whose research focuses on the opposition's role in New Zealand politics, to talk about last weekend's protest, the ramifications it has for the public's trust in the government and how various expenditures to national debt should not be considered equals.
