AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Education & Workforce: New Zealand has launched nine new industry-led secondary school subjects for Years 12–13 from 2029, including next-gen manufacturing, applied intelligent systems, construction and built environment, energy and infrastructure, engineering technology, food and fibre systems, health services and care, hospitality food and beverage, and tourism—aimed at tighter links between classrooms and future jobs. Politics & Representation: PM Christopher Luxon says he’s open to a referendum on changing New Zealand’s electoral system, sparking pushback from coalition partners including Winston Peters. Culture & Writing: Applications are open for the Michael King Writers Centre 2027 residencies in Auckland, with up to four places reserved for Māori or Pasifika writers. Community & Sport: Afghan Women United—FIFA-recognised after years of exile—have reunited in New Zealand for a training camp and friendlies. Arts & Media: Sam Neill’s warm, wise performance is highlighted in Taika Waititi’s family film Hunt for the Wilderpeople as it continues to win hearts. Student Cost Pressure: ATSA is calling for a 10% increase to student living support, arguing youth unemployment is making it harder to cover essentials.
