Saturday 07 February 2015: Gareth Morgan’s an interesting character, a philanthropist, economist, writer blogger, social commentator and now race relations expert. Last week he urged pakeha to get up to speed with the treaty and treaty claims. He even said recently we should all be learning te reo Maori. Now he’s calling for Maori seats to be abolished once we become a republic. We talk with Professor Ranginui Walker about Morgan’s statements and ask Professor Walker what’s the checklist that Maori would need to tick off, if this country is indeed to become a republic.

Sunday 08 February 2015: Waitangi Day celebrations at Waitangi, where there’s conflict, protests and where leading politicians, the Governor General pay their annual visits to talk about among other things, the state of the nation. We talk with Ngapuhi Chief Kingi Taurua about the commemorations this year and his hopes for the future
