Shall we open the week with a prediction? This is the week the Government will call an inquiry into the accusations around the Māori Party, the marae and the use of Covid and census information. The trouble is if the Government doesn’t call an inquiry, too many questions start to get asked around transparency and trust. The allegations are too specific. They are not hearsay from people who heard from people. They are very specific, detailed allegations from people who were there. The denials are

French President Emmanuel Macron has called a snap election after his party suffered a heavy defeat in elections for the European Parliament. Exit polls put Marine Le Pen's far-right National Rally party well ahead of Macron’s pro-European centrists. France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking “The reason this came so out of nowhere – is that it’s not meant to be about local politics.” Field said “Macron’s felt he had no choice but to call these elections.” LISTEN ABOVE.

A report from Auckland Council’s boarding house inspectors shows out of 44 properties suspected to be breaking the law, 40 were “operating unauthorised transient accommodation or boarding houses”. Many had issues with fire safety, gang-affiliated guests and owners questioning council authority.

It's important I think to end the week with the good news. The good news from an industry, you might have read, that has been creating a bit of bad news lately. The media has troubles, newsrooms are being closed, programmes are being cancelled, people are being laid off, losses are mounting, hands are out for help and pleas are being made for you to see what some do on the local landscape as being important. So yes, it has been a bad year. But against that backdrop the radio industry got together
