Finding a place to live can be challenging whether you’re a renter or a potential buyer. 

Kevin Milne’s been thinking about real-estate, particularly deadline sales and sales by tender and the pressures they place on buyers – first home buyers in particular. 

He also heard from his son living over in London, that renting a flat is no longer a matter of getting your application in first, but rather you have to be willing to bid for it.

Kevin Milne: Real estate woes and property pressures

Moana & the Tribe have long been acknowledged for pushing the boundaries of Māori music.  

Led by Moana Maniapoto, the band has become one of New Zealand’s most successful Māori bands, creating a fusion of politically charged haka-funk-dub music and performing all over the world.  

They’re bringing their global collaboration ‘ONO’ to Tāmaki Makaurau as part of the Auckland Arts Festival, and to mark International Women’s Day.  

But this performance is a little bigger than their usual band, Maniapoto telling Jack Tame that she got a bit carried away.  

"There is a cast of thousands on stage,” she said.  

‘ONO’ showcases the voice, language, and cultures of six indigenous women from different places Moana & The Tribe has performed, and two of the artists are flying in for the performance – Hawai'i's Kaumakaiwa Kanaka’ole and Australia’s Shellie Morris.  

“I’m really excited to have them come and join us.” 

“It’s gonna be great, and its a celebration of like, mana wāhine and mana reo.”

This weekend marks the end of an era for Splore Festival. 

This instalment of the annual boutique music and arts festival at Auckland's Orere Point will be the last. 

After nearly 30 years, ticket sales fell and it became too difficult for owner John Minty to fund alone. 

Chris Schulz is attending this weekend’s festivities, and joined Jack Tame to chat about the festival’s tragic ending.

Anti Hero: An Orphan X Novel by Gregg Hurwitz  

Once a black ops assassin for the government known as Orphan X, Evan Smoak broke with the program and went deep underground, using his operational rules and skills to help the truly desperate with nowhere else to turn. 
 
When Luke Devine, one of the most powerful men in the world has a psychological crisis, Evan flies to the East Coast to meet Luke. While there, he learns of a young woman who was kidnapped off the New York City subway, clearly in danger and in need of aid. With no name and few clues, Evan and his team track down the missing woman, who was assaulted and abandoned. Evan offers his help―and sets out tracking down the young men responsible. But the woman insists that Evan abandon his usual methods―no vengeance and, in particular, no killing. Which will prove no easy feat given the mounting incoming threats from all sides. In a mission that takes Evan from coast to coast, from the poorest corners of society to the richest, Orphan X must figure out a way to protect the innocent, avenge the victimized, and balance justice, with a measure of mercy. 

  

The Dead Speak: My Life In Forensics by Thomas Coyle  

In this empathetic and darkly funny memoir, Thomas Coyle – one of New Zealand's most seasoned forensic investigators – pulls back the police tape and walks us straight into the crime scenes. 

With sharp detail, he reveals how the tiniest fragment of evidence can expose a suspect, prove a motive or confirm an identity. Sometimes, all at once. 

But crime scenes are only part of his story. The Dead Speak also plunges us into the world of disaster victim identification – a discipline where time, science and compassion collide. Where forensic experts are flung into a race against time to identify bodies in makeshift morgues as desperate families wait for news of their loved ones. 

Taking us from meticulous casework at New Scotland Yard to the chaos of the Boxing Day tsunami in Thailand and the devastation of the 2011 Christchurch earthquake, The Dead Speak is both a gripping insider's account of forensic investigation and an unflinching portrait of humanity at its best and worst. Fair warning, though: it's not for the faint-hearted.
