City Counselling w/ Shane Henderson: 24 September, 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Government has moved to ban voting rights for non-elected members on council committees. For Auckland Council this would apply to members of Houkura, the Independent Māori Statutory Board.

Why are big tech companies so powerful? w/ University of Auckland Dean of Law, Professor Susan Watson: 23rd September 2026 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
