This week on the Monday Wire:
For our weekly catch-up with the ACT Party, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to MP Simon Court about the government’s new draft curriculum, specifically focusing on the changes to history, Labour’s capital gains tax policy, and the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
Producer Alex spoke to Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland, Dr Mohsen Mohammadzadeh, about concerns that the council and auckland transport are ‘commodifying non-compliance’ with parking tickets; that is, seeing parking ticket enforcement as a source of revenue.
And Joel spoke to Missy Morton, a Professor in Disability Studies & Inclusive Education at the University of Auckland, about the government’s announcement of a charter school for autistic students and her concerns with the move.
Whakarongo mai!
Last year. Half a million parking tickets were given out in Auckland by the city's growing fleet of Automatic plate-recognition vehicles. The city now has 25 of these vehicles. With non-compliance tickets having doubled since 2024, concerns have been raised over how these systems generate revenue for Auckland Transport and the council.
While Auckland Transport has defended revenue as an unavoidable consequence of non-compliance systems, and insisted that they must stay consistent in their policing and management, some have labelled this as a ‘commodification of non-compliance’
Monday Wire Producer Alex spoke to Senior Lecturer in Architecture and Planning at the University of Auckland, Mohsen Mohammadzadeh about these tickets, revenue, and how this technology should, or shouldn't, be used.
The government has recently announced a new draft curriculum for years 0-10 that has seen changes to various subjects, including history, as per National/ACT coalition agreements.
ACT Party Leader, David Seymour, says the changes to the Aotearoa New Zealand’s Histories curriculum removes “dismal, divisive and overly political ‘big ideas’”.
However, these changes have received criticisms from the NZ History Teachers Association over a multitude of concerns.
For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party’s Simon Court, News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to him about these changes.
They also discussed Labour’s Capital Gains Tax policy, and the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas.
But first, they talked about the government’s proposed history curriculum.
Recently, the government announced that a charter school specifically catering to secondary students with autism would be started up.
The school, the Autism NZ Education Hub, would operate from Wellington and Auckland, with 96 students at first, with Associate Education Minister, David Seymour, saying the structure of the school will be personalised based on a students, needs, strengths, and interests.
However, concerns have been raised regarding whether this is the best approach to support autistic students.
News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host Joel spoke to Missy Morton, a Professor in Disability Studies & Inclusive Education at the University of Auckland about this school, and her concerns regarding it.

Eva During is a multidisciplinary artist, and recipient of the arts house trust and Dunedin School of Art graduate exhibition scholarship 2025. Eva works within spaces of sculpture, ceramics, audio and installation, in which she navigates the complexities of personal identity through her experience as a first-generation immigrant.
Her current exhibition at the Arts House Trust at Pah Homestead, Under the Bridge, follows Eva’s journey as she retraces the path of Aotearoa’s first Chinese immigrants. Visiting these historic sites of the goldmining settlements of Lawrence and Arrowtown, through tracing the path of the Clutha river.
Throughout the journey, Eva collected these organic materials of the land's temporal memory, bringing them back into the studio in which the organic materials were transferred onto pieces of material that Eva then hand stitched into 100s of shā bāo that form a river bed along the gallery floor.
Bringing together a beautiful display of collective memory and dialogue that speaks to the quiet strength that is passed down through generations of Chinese immigrants.
Maya caught up with Eva about the show and overall practice.
