In the lead-up to International Women's Day, guests Ann Brower (University of Canterbury) and Erin Polaczuk (New Zealand Council of Trade Unions Te Kauae Kaimahi) discuss the dual issues of the gender pay gap and gender pay equity. They focus particularly on the statistics (did you know that pay equity settlements have revealed that many sectors dominated by women were undervalued by 30 percent?!) and the impacts of this both ongoing inequity and of being finally paid what women are worth.

Speak Up Kōrerotia - Kotahitanga
Current political choices are bringing very real challenges to advances over the last few decades in Māori rights, with the National/New Zealand First/ACT coalition repealing or reviewing a significant amount of policy pertaining to Māori. Two significant events in the last few weeks have made these issues even more prominent: the death of the seventh Māori monarch, King Tūheitia Pōtatau Te Wherowhero VII, celebrated by orators at his tangi for his lifetime of advocacy for Kotahitanga (unity); and the progression of the contentious Treaty Principles Bill, which many observers argue risks furthering division within society. Guests Kassie Hartendorp (ActionStation) and Dominic O'Sullivan (Charles Sturt University) discuss the meaning of Kotahitanga in this tense political context.
“Speak Up – Kōrerotia” – a radio show centred on human rights issues. Encouraging discussion on human rights issues prevalent in both Canterbury and New Zealand, Speak Up – Kōrerotia offers a forum to promote the issues facing New Zealanders, providing a voice to affected communities.
Engaging in conversations around human rights issues in our country, each show covers a different human rights issue with guests from or working with the affected communities. Analysing and asking questions of the realities of life in Canterbury and New Zealand allows Speak Up – Kōrerotia to cover the issues that often go untouched!
Discussing the hard-hitting topics, Speak Up – Kōrerotia wishes to encourage listeners to reflect on the issues covered – be it issues listeners are already engaged in, have a passing knowledge of, or no knowledge at all. In our busy modern lives it is rare to have an uninterrupted hour where you can discuss powerful and important experiences and opinions, and Speak Up – Kōrerotia provides this platform to express and share opinions about those inherently important topics.
Hosted by Sally Carlton, the show brings key issues to the fore and provides space for guests to “Speak Up” and share their thoughts and experiences.
