Playing Favourites with Tamatha Paul (Podcast version)

From Saturday Morning, 11:05 am on 6 June 2020

Growing up in Tokoroa, Tamatha Paul's eyes were opened to what was going on elsewhere in the world when she started listening to hip-hop. She went on to become her school's Dux, the first person in her family to go to university - the first M�ori woman to be president of Victoria University's student association, and last year became a Wellington City Councillor - at the age of 22. While she was part of the 'youthquake' that swept the local elections last year, Ms Paul wants to focus on M�ori issues - working towards imbedding Te Tiriti into council processes, as well as working towards a carbon neutral capital. She joins Kim to share songs that have helped shape her view of the world, or remind her of home.
