On the show today...

12.15 - John Carter, Associate Minister of Local Government, Chair of Auckland Supercity Select Committee
At 12.15 (fingers crossed), I'll be talking with John Carter about the blueprint of the Auckland Supercity, out late Friday afternoon. He chaired the Select Committee that heard submissions about the final form the Auckland-amalgamation would take - so how many of those were heeded in the final product, and why are Federated Farmers up in arms?

12.30 - Phil Twyford, Labour Auckland Affairs Spokesperson
Phil Twyford has been an ardent critic of the shape of the Super-City reforms thus far this year, and he's been no less damning of the Auckland Super City Committee's report. He already listed a few of the major flaws on his party's official blog - so I try to get a little more detail on his objections.

1.00 - Lyn McMoran, Institute of Financial Advisors
It's Financial Literacy Week in New Zealand, and a little more financial literacy apparently couldn't come soon enough for NZ's youth - some of which are leaving high school without even the foggiest about GST or income tax. Lyn McMoran talks about the damning results of the questionnaire which highlighted these gaps in our knowledge - and what we can do to better equip teens and young people from here.

1.20 - Jeremy Bioletti, Lawyer
Human trafficking is alive and well in New Zealand. That's the take of Auckland-based lawyer Jeremy Bioletti in a story he's taken to the Dominion Post about two Ukrainian women bought to NZ and allegedly forced to work in the sex industry. But how widespread is the situation, and how do these cases slip through the net in the first place?
