Shubz Says So

Show Notes

Who speaks for Māori on Israel and Palestine?

Dr Sheree Trotter joins Shubz to explain her support for Israel, how her Te Arawa identity shapes her perspective, and why she challenges the settler-colonial label. We discuss Zionism, Palestinian rights, antisemitism and what interviewing Holocaust survivors has taught her.

Then, Meat Workers Union National Secretary Daryl Carran talks about the pressures facing the people behind one of New Zealand’s biggest industries. From uncertain hours and workplace injuries to holiday pay and the impact of possible plant closures — are workers getting a fair deal?
