AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Housing Rights: Aotearoa is “running backwards” on the right to a decent home, with a new Human Rights Foundation review saying market-led policy is worsening affordability, security, access and cultural adequacy—especially for Māori, Pacific peoples, disabled people and renters. Māori Politics & Power: Te Pāti Māori president John Tamihere argues MMP’s promise for Māori must be measured by real influence over decisions for whānau, hapū and iwi as unemployment and health pressures rise. Waitangi Tribunal: Riki Witana has been named a new Waitangi Tribunal member, bringing governance and Crown-Māori settlement experience to the role. Education & Equity: School library funding is flagged as a long-running crisis, while new data shows NCEA gains still leave a “long tail of failure,” with numeracy/literacy shortfalls hitting the poorest hardest. Culture & Language: Two Māori-language picture books with takatāpui themes earn international recognition via the IBBY-UNESCO Indigenous and Endangered Languages collection. Community Life: Aucklanders share how many friends they have—and whether loneliness is part of everyday life. Music Industry: Going Global Music Summit 2026 adds more international speakers, linking Aotearoa artists to global markets. Faith Schools: Demand for faith-based education is outstripping capacity, with families in high-growth areas struggling to secure places. AI & Work: NZ tech leaders warn offshore AI is reshaping jobs and communities, pushing for a home-grown approach.
