On Marae Investigates
10am Sundays on TV ONE
Are the country’s Kohanga Reo under threat from a Government review? We talk to both sides of the debate including former Kohanga Reo National Trust head Dame Iritana Tawhiwhirangi, and ECE Taskforce member Aroaro Tamati.
Plus, in the fight to clean up Rotorua’s lakes it’s hard to believe floating more plastic in the water could be a solution. This week we investigate how a new island in Lake Rotoehu is putting rubbish to use in a very innovative way.
And we meet a woman filling the shoes of a kapa haka legend.

‘I KILLED MY SON’
When a van, containing a small boy strapped into his car seat, accidentally rolled into Lake Dunstan at Easter, everyone felt the anguish of his parents.
His mother Kinnary Macwan was also in the van and desperately tried to unbuckle her only child but barely escaped with her own life.
His father, Ashish, on the side of the lake but unable to swim, could do nothing but seek help.
SUNDAY asks if this family suffered enough and does Ashish Macwan, really deserve to be convicted of causing his child’s death?

WHY?
It came down in a matter of seconds, reduced to a mound of rubble with more than a hundred people dead? Now five months after the Christchurch earthquake serious questions are being asked about the structural integrity of the CTV building… a building constructed just a few decades ago. An engineer suggests it should not have collapsed the way it did, he says it was either a design failure, a construction failure or both. And while the Royal Commission seeks answers rather than someone to blame, a grieving husband says he wants “someone’s arse busted” he wants someone held accountable

THE SHARK ANGELS
One is a New York conservationist , the other a South African marine biologist together they are the ‘SHARK ANGELS”. It’s a hard sell talking up the world’s deadliest attack machine, the Great White Shark. They say sharks are not like whales or dolphins where people already care but they shout because the Great White is in trouble. About 100 million sharks are killed each year and sharks, apparently, are crucial to the health of the eco-system. Still not convinced we should care about the merciless man-eater? Then meet the Shark Angels on SUNDAY.
