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. The programme aims to capture the major newsmakers of the day with an emphasis on providing a Māori perspective on national and global issues. 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:
1. Professor Rawinia Higgins: What has to be done to see the survival of te reo Maori.
2. Former NZ First MP Pita Paraone: New Zealand is awash with 'Immigrant Crime'.
3. Ani Pahuru Huriwai: The government has announced the approval of ten oil and gas permits.
4. Pierre Lyndon: The lastest Census report shows a decline in education.
5. George Taipari: Today is Safe Sleep Day.
6. Tania Stanley: Tania was the first wahine to attain the Pou Waru status at Te Whare Tu Taua O Aotearoa. Last weekend in Takapau was the 30th Anniversary of the establishment of the Maori school of Weaponry.
