Annie Bradley from Papakura Art gallery talks to their new show Oceans to Fly, an exhibition of archival paintings and film from Whites Aviation - the aeronautical illustration company that shaped the way a generation of New Zealanders saw the country.
It’s the final regular Thursday Wire for 2019 - and things went overtime.
On today’s show:
Minister Andrew Little is here for his final interview of the year. He talks to Stewart Sowman-Lund about a major criminal justice announcement this morning. Plus, his thoughts on a potential merger between NZME and Stuff.
After that, Justin previews the UK election coming up tonight New Zealand-time. Are the Conservatives going to regain a majority?
Then, Mary-Margaret speaks to the Tupuna Maunga Authority and Generation Zero about developments at Owairaka.
And lastly, the final Neighbourhood Watch for 2019. Australia’s burning both literally and metaphorically… Our correspondent Zoe tells brings us the latest.
All that plus a super speedy Poll Position, regular texter Peter’s angry about the EU, and someone wants cat stories. It’s The Thursday Wire and it’s gone crazy.
Justin talks to the University of Edinburgh's Dr Alan Convery about the political parties' potential performances in Britain's general election, how could results in Scotland and Wales turn out and the possibility of another referendum on Scottish independence in the future.
Today on your bFM Breakfast: Another sunny day in Tāmaki Makaurau; Leisha gives us the low down on Christmas ham and the trusty ham bag; Rod Oram runs us through the UK Election and a few things closer to home; Troy's got some tasty selections From The Crate; and Amelia takes us through what went down on the Top Ten last night. Shoes are optional, apparently.
