Tāwera is a breakfast current affairs programme on Radio Waatea. It is delivered in te reo Māori and broadcasts every weekday morning – although only the Friday broadcast is archived.

Tāwera is funded by Te Māngai Pāho and is provided to other broadcasters via Irirangi.net - Te Whakaruruhau Reo Irirangi Māori o Aotearoa. In today’s programme:
