Monday 3rd May 2004
Listen today to Paakiwaha, an exciting weekly current affairs programme with a Maori perspective. Paakiwaha is hosted
this week by Dale Husband and is broadcasted by Radio Waatea with funding from New Zealand on Air.
Dale talks to National MP Georgina Te Heuheu about her new portfolios and her political future. Waiariki MP Mita Ririnui
is voting for the Foreshores Bill and he explains why. The Foreshore and Seabed Hikoi will reach Parliament on Wednesday
and John Tamihere, Matt McCarten and Tariana Turia each give their views on the Hikoi, Tariana’s resignation from Labour
and the proposed Maori Party to contest the next election. Dale also talks with members of a group, calling itself the
Takutai United Hacktivists Association, or TUHA, which is organising a "simultaneous worldwide" electronic sit-in for
May 5 when the Hikoi reaches Parliament.
Sports commentator Ken Laban gives his weekly sports roundup and political reporter Duncan Garner tells us his
predictions for the week. So tune into yet another lively, thought provoking and debate packed programme!
