The Nation 1 October 2011

September 29th, 2011 at 12:37 pm by Kokila Patel

This week with England playing Scotland at Eden Park on Saturday — a Scottish flavour to our Sunday Edition Panel!

But first — with the Warriors playing the NRL Grand Final we go to their South Auckland heartland to find out what really makes this much multi-ethnic impoverished part of NZ tick. Narelle Suisted talks about the reality of life in South Auckland and their hopes and dreams for the future with Year 13 from Otahuhu College. This is a fascinating insight into a part of Auckland the rest of NZ knows little about.
We follow that up with an interview with Housing Minister Phil Heatley — over a third of South Aucklanders live in Housing New Zealand houses.

And finally we look back at the colourful career of retiring Green MP Sue Kedgley — from beauty queen to environmental activist. Sean Plunket will have an extended interview with Sue.
And the panel — R G R (“Jock”) Anderson (NBR); David Ferguson (The Scotsman).

UPCOMING SATURDAY 01/10/11 1030 – SUNDAY EDITION 2/10/11 0830 – TV3

    There will be more people own their own home in South Auckland then in the entire town of Dunedin.

    The Warriors heartland comment will also find an argument in the city at the mighty Ponsonby United Football Club and Richmond Rovers as well out west at Glenora and Te Atatu.

    Also if you are talking impovrished who ever wrote this has never been to Birkdale on the ‘Shore. For hicks who have never even visited the place ,Auckland is big, south Auckland is big and to see attempts to pigeon hole this area as one thing or another is stupid. Especially for a fish bowl TV programme which will be full of cliches.

    There is nothing worse in Auckland then you would find in the Hutt Valley or as we all know the toilet suburbs of Christchurch

    What irritates me is that the south Auckland tenants of Phil Heatley have much better internet speeds than the blokes out Opunake way or Springdale have; I just think those producers do more for our economy than do Phil’s Flatbush tenants.

    Are Housing NZ tenants likely to have broadband?
