Tagata Pasifika

We look at an initiative hoping to put an end to school fights; we visit the Cook Islands language nest that's open to all; and we kick off our elections talanoa.

We see how Cook Islanders are coping without tourists; we meet Samoan stuntwoman Ashlee Fidow; and we look at the rehabilitation programme helping Pasifika inmates.

We catch up with Miss Samoa in Apia; we check out new comedy SIS; and we look at the big changes in the National Party.

G We hear an exciting announcement for Pacific rugby union players; we meet tech creators keeping the I-Kiribati language alive; and in the era of fake news, who do you trust?

We look at how period poverty is impacting Pasifika teens; we meet a Tongan pilot-turned Bunnings employee; and we're at the 30-year celebrations of Cook Islands Paramount Chief Pa Ariki.

We join South Auckland workers who are picketing outside Temperzone; we meet a sneaker fan who's turned his passion into a business; and we chat to photographer Edith Amituanai.

We find out how to spot a scam; we look at the argument for an NZ-Pacific bubble; we meet Pasifika women in e-commerce; and we find out about the men's health initiative in South Auckland.

Tongan castaway Tevita Siola'a tells his story of survival; the dream of a fale malae in the capital is one step closer; and it's game on for our Pacific Super Rugby stars.

We investigate the pay cuts of Auckland Council's contracted cleaners; and we meet 10-year-old Niuean chef Denzell Pavihi-Paka.

We talk to Pacific RSE workers stuck in the Hawke's Bay, and we meet local families itching to get back on the sports field.
