When a young Eva Kollisch arrives as a refugee in New York in 1940, she finds a community among socialists who share her values and idealism. She soon discovers ‘the cause’ isn’t as idyllic as it seems. Little does she know this is the beginning of a lifelong commitment to activism and her determination to create radical change in ways that include belonging, love and one's full self. In addition to Eva Kollisch’s memoirs Girl in Movement (2000) and The Ground Under My Feet (2014), LBI’s collections include an oral history interview with Eva conducted in 2014 and the papers of Eva’s mother, poet Margarete Kolllisch, which document Eva’s childhood experience on the Kindertransport.

There's confidence from the wool sector that Kainga Ora will learn the value of wool carpets.

The social housing agency's back-tracking on a previous ban after using synthetic carpets for more than a decade.

It will now allow wool carpet providers to tender for carpet and underlay contracts.

Campaign for Wool general manager Kara Biggs told Andrew Dickens there's an opportunity to show Kainga Ora how wool can compete on price and value now.

She says that wool is natural, flame resistant, warmer, and more absorbent, which means it's a better and healthier alternative for those in community housing.

Andrew Dickens: Trump's meeting with Zelensky was schoolyard bullying Well who didn’t see the Trump Zelensky meltdown coming? The whole thing has been a show for the crowds and not a real play for peace. Before the summit Zelensky made it very clear that he wanted a ceasefire but with security guarantees. Reportedly America told Zelensky not to mention the security guarantees at the press conference. But that’s the heart of his position. He doesn’t trust Putin because they’ve had a ceasefire with Putin before that Putin broke. Trump made it very clear he wants out and he wants a payoff of minerals for everything the US has put in so far. He has a mandate for that. He campaigned on it and he got the vote. So when they met and the press started recording, Trump and Vance spoke as though their plan was a fait d’accompli. But it wasn’t. Ukraine has always said “no security guarantee no deal” So when Zelensky starts reminding them of what had happened in the past, Trump and Vance went 2 on 1 and gave him a lesson. It was schoolyard stuff. Beating up the immigrant kid with English as a second language. Trump and Vance were playing to their American public. The American public that voted for Trump that are sick of trillions of their dollars going to a place they barely know. That American public is now saying Zelensky wants to continue with the war. But that's not so. Europe is prepared to insure the peace but America is not. Putin must love it. America is now selfish and irrelevant while Europe's underinvestment in defence is glaring. And I need to remind Americans that back in the day when Winston Churchill came to Washington to convince America to enter World War 2 he came dressed in a military boiler suit to signify he was in an actual war while the Americans weren’t. Zelensky is in a war. Trump and Vance are not. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Mike Casey: Rewiring Aotearoa CEO on the need to enforce any potential changes to the energy sector 3:50

منذ 4 أيام3:50

3:50

Changing the rules of the electricity sector is one thing, getting the sector to follow the rules could be another. The Electricity Authority is proposing requiring the four main electricity generators to sell power to independent companies at the same price they sell power to themselves. The independents would also get the same access to hedge contracts, protecting them from price fluctuations. Mike Casey —the chief executive of electrification advocacy group Rewiring Aotearoa— told Andrew Dickens the rules need to be given teeth. He says there is a lot of work that needs to be done to make sure this actually happens, rather than being enforced after the fact. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Vincent McAviney: European Correspondent on Tate brothers arriving in America 2:48

Speculation over how much the United States intervened in the Romanian justice system, to help the Tate brothers reach American soil. A private jet believed to be carrying Andrew and Tristan Tate has landed in Florida, in the midst of Romanian investigations into their trafficking, and rape charges. European Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Andrew Dickens it appears Richard Grenell - a special US presidential envoy - held a meeting with the Romanian foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference to let them leave. McAviney says once in the US, it's highly unlikely extradition for Romanian and UK charges would be possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Andrew Dickens: Let's stop with the announcement of announcements 2:25

منذ 4 أيام2:25

2:25

Now I'm a bit of a policy wonk. I don't care which party it is. If they come up with a policy, I like to break it down and see if it makes sense. Now I know politicians are addicted to announcements, attention and media coverage. Which means they sometimes say the first thing in their heads that sound like they’ll get votes. No matter if it’s deliverable or not. Labour had a bad case of it. Phil Twyford and his 100 thousand Kiwibuild fantasy. Michael Wood was the champion. Based on five minutes on the back of an envelope he announced a nearly $900 million bike bridge. Faced with backlash from Dominion Road businesses he stuck the light rail project underground. Tripling the price to an unaffordable $18 billion dollars. Now it seems like the National led coalition has a case of the same disease. Paul Goldsmith has it bad. This week he announced a change to citizen's arrest rules but had no idea of what the changes are going to be. Classic announcement of an announcement. But the king of wishful thinking is the prince of the provinces, Shane Jones. First, he proposed a special economic zone for Marsden point begging the question why not turn the whole country into a special economic zone. The whole place needs a hand. Then he proposed repairing Marsden point refinery. A fanciful idea that was shot down in hours as the enormous cost of nearly $8 billion dollars came to light. The reason why no Government has repaired the refinery ever since it was sold 40 years ago. The thing about leadership is that you need to make adult decisions and proposals. If you’re a cabinet minister you can’t just let the first Walter Mitty like thought bubble pop out of your mouth, when you know there’s nothing there. That’s the lesson Labour learnt last term. Hopefully the Government figures that out soon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Grant Webster: Tourism Holdings CEO on tourist spending returning to pre-pandemic levels 3:21

منذ 5 أيام3:21

A return to form for international tourist spending. Data shows it was up 60% to nearly $17 billion in the year to March 2024, just under pre-pandemic levels. Total industry expenditure crossed $44 billion – a near 15% rise on the year prior. Tourism Holdings Chief Executive Grant Webster told Andrew Dickens it was bound to happen. He says it's in people's DNA globally to want to explore, and New Zealand's an attractive destination, so they're coming. However, there are questions over whether our infrastructure is up to a tourism boom. Queenstown officials believe New Zealand's shift from seeking high-wealth visitors to mass tourism is unsustainable. But Webster told Dickens he’s pushing back. He says it's a very small point relative to a few locations, at a short time of the year. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Andrew Little: Former Defence Minister on the talks between NZ and China about the warships in the Tasman 4:07

Our Government has raised concerns about China's warships in the Tasman Sea at the highest level, as our Defence Force continues to monitor the ships' movements. Foreign Minister Winston Peters has discussed the issue with his Chinese counterpart Wang Yi during a meeting in Beijing. Former Defence Minister Andrew Little says it will have been a frank conversation. The Chinese Naval vessels are now moving west in Australia's exclusive economic zone, but Little told Andrew Dickens they still aren't in Australia's territorial waters. Little says China is following the law of the sea and will presumably seek permission before entering the 12-mile zone. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
