21 days ago RNZ

First published onPhoto: SuppliedAction by NZME to uphold a complaint about an interview by Heather du Plessis-Allan in which she "ridiculed" a young climate activist was correct, the Broadcasting Standards Authority has found. The BSA accepted NZME's action in upholding the complaint directly and did not uphold a complaint that the response was insufficient. "Don't you care about the climate?," du Plessis-Allan replied. After the interview, du Plessis-Allan read out messages from listeners, some stating she had bullied the interviewee, and others finding it a "great interview" for exposing the interviewee's "hypocrisy".

Cyclone Gabrielle: Tiny home solution proposed for displaced Muriwai residents

Photo: SuppliedA week after Cyclone Gabrielle ripped through the North Island, some streets in the West Auckland community of Muriwai remain cordoned off, leaving residents unable to access their homes. "But the more devastating thing for Muriwai residents is when they lose their community and have to move outside of this township that we all love so much." Photo: RNZ / Finn BlackwellBoddington, the director of Shaye's Tiny Homes, said her area of expertise could become part of the solution for Muriwai. "There's a lot of farmland in Muriwai; there's a lot of big properties where there'd be many suitable parking spots and locations for tiny houses," Boddington said. Asked whether Boddington's vision of a tiny home community could form part of Auckland's recovery process, Kelleher said she could not speak to tiny homes directly.

What Australia learned from recent devastating floods - and how New Zealand can apply those lessons now

Australia and New Zealand have both faced a series of devastating floods triggered by climate change and the return of the La Niña weather pattern. So it makes sense that Australia has now sent disaster crews to help with the aftermath of Cyclone Gabrielle. Supported by community volunteers, the SES has a clear focus at the local level. When a flood risk becomes evident, SES volunteers go knocking on doors to check their preparedness and provide evacuation support. While there is a large number of SES volunteers in Australia, more are needed as climate change drives more frequent, extensive and intense disasters.

Climate change minister's legislative balancing act after Gabrielle

But as Climate Change Minister, Shaw is also the one tasked with acting. The Climate Adaptation Act is a meaty piece of work, and is just one part of the sweeping overhaul of the Resource Management Act. While the Natural and Built Environment Act and Spatial Planning Act - which set outcomes and long-term strategy - are already going through the legislative motions, the Climate Adaptation Act is yet to even be tabled. But he knows in the wake of Auckland's floods and Cyclone Gabrielle there are some things that need to happen much more urgently. Photo: RNZThe reinstatement of Todd Muller as National's climate change spokesperson was a sign the bipartisan spirit was being taken seriously.

White Ferns plan to boost run-rate against Sri Lanka

Photo: PHOTOSPORTWhite Ferns batter Maddy Green has guaranteed all-out attack against Sri Lanka, as they look to keep their slim T20 World Cup semifinal hopes alive. While still in contention to progress from their group, New Zealand need to win their last match against Sri Lanka, boost their run-rate and hope other results go their way. Sri Lanka are ranked five places behind New Zealand in the Women's T20I Rankings, but sit above them in the group standings. "I think they have got some really good bowlers on their side who bowl with a lot of accuracy and make it difficult to score. Meanwhile, a win for Sri Lanka will put them on the brink of their first ever Women's T20 World Cup semifinal.
