    Q+A 29 March 2026: NZ’s foreign policy response to Iran falling short: Labour

    NZ’s foreign policy response to Iran falling short: Labour The government is breaking with long-held norms in foreign affairs in how it is approaching the Iran crisis, says Labour’s new foreign affairs spokesperson Vanushi Walters. She tells Q+A that the government must be stronger in standing up for human rights and international law, and sets out what she’d do differently. The AI startup that could radically change legal profession Amid the disruption being caused by AI, the legal profession could see massive changes in the next few years. Leading the charge is Ivo, whose founder Min-Kyu Jung spoke to Q+A about the potential for AI to take a much greater role how lawyers operate. The Kiwi former lawyer also talked about why getting massive scale in tech isn’t possible in New Zealand, forcing a move to Silicon Valley. Will fuel price blowouts push us toward electrification? ReWiring Aotearoa CEO Mike Casey joins Q+A to talk about what the fuel crisis means for the future of energy, and why attention is increasingly turning towards electrification, rather than relying on precarious fossil fuel supply chains. The tiny nation caught in middle of geopolitical tussles Tuvalu is one of the world’s smallest countries, facing some of the world’s most challenging crises. The low-lying atoll nation faces huge threats from climate change, particularly rising sea levels, and many of its citizens are considering taking up the option of leaving. At the same time, Tuvalu’s diplomatic relationship with Taiwan leaves it increasingly isolated among its neighbours. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter.

    Q+A 22 March 2026: “Extreme risk”. How Iran war exposes NZ’s national security vulnerabilities

    “Extreme risk”. How Iran war exposes NZ’s national security vulnerabilities The world has fundamentally changed, and New Zealand is not yet grappling with what that means for our national security, says Retired Major-General John Howard. After a distinguished 40 year career in the military, Howard is now speaking out about what the war in Iran represents, the limits of New Zealand’s military capabilities, and the lack of strategic thinking around our military and economic vulnerabilities. In particular, Howard highlights the potential for fuel shortages, and that it is unclear how fuel will be allocated between the population at large and critical industries if necessary. Mayors speak out against road funding changes They’re lifelines for small communities, but special purpose roads are about to lose their full government funding. Whena Owen meets a group of regional mayors who are raising the alarm.

Bertaud is renowned for his work in cities around the world, and famous for long walking tours of cities to get a sense for them. He has been in Auckland as a guest of the NZ Initiative, and intends to walk as much of Auckland as he can.
