I reckon he’s got a point. I can’t count the times I’ve gone out to get some camembert and ended up having a ménage à trois.

This is our documentary on slash (forestry debris) and its impact on Tairāwhiti/Gisborne.
If you don't live in these communities it's hard to understand how impactful it is. But in some places, it's breaking people.
Please watch it, if you have the time.

Second week back at work: we’ve got a new PM during election year, lost an indomitable whaea of the Māori rights movement, had an unprecedented weather event in our biggest city, and that city’s Mayor has just called an independent review on himself.

In all the discussions about not breaching name suppression. I would like to remind people that Pākehā are granted name suppression three times as often as Māori, even though Māori are charged with more crimes.

Yesterday I saw a comparison of New Zealand's economic results on inflation, employment, and GDP growth with the usual global suspects and was interested in exploring it for a story. But I can't find it any more. Help...?

Very proud of this story (and proud of Stevie for sharing).
Three weeks ago we followed Stevie in the days before and after their top surgery.
It’s really beautiful - I encourage you to watch.

Who knew giving people an opportunity to express their indigenous identity through performing arts unique to their culture that connects them with their tīpuna would have vast and deep positive outcomes!? One of the most important stories I've worked on.

The full potential of kapa haka can only be realised through sustainable and equitable funding. Right now that’s not happening.

I’m so proud to be Māori right now.
It hits different realising that our culture and beliefs that were almost lost forever are being revitalised and finally getting the attention and recognition they deserve.

Since colonisation, indigenous knowledge has been pushed aside by Western notions of science. Dr Ocean Mercier is helping lead the resurgence of mātauranga Māori
