10:20 Duckshooting licence delays frustrate

Hunters throughout Aotearoa are checking the sights of their shotguns and readying their rifles in preparation for the start of duckshooting season tomorrow. That is, if they managed to get their firearms licence renewed in time. There have been months-long delays as the police work through a backlog of firearm licence applications.  Bill O'Leary is the deputy chair of New Zealand Fish and Game Council.

10:45  KiwiRules - Anna Marbrook

Almost a year ago, LOIMATA, The Sweetest Tears had its world premiere as part of the 2020 International Film Festival and then this year it had its television debut on Waitangi Day on Maori Television. It's a documentary, directed by Anna Marbrook which honours the last voyage of the great waka maker, sailor and mentor Ema Siope, and her journeys between Aotearoa and Sāmoa in search of healing, and her family's reckoning with systemic abuse.  Anna Marbrook is our guest on KiwiRules tonight when a New Zealand artist plays it forward for other Kiwi artists.
