1.20: Moana Papa, CLASS

At least a quarter of secondary schools currently offering night classes are now warning they will no longer do so, as the axe comes down on their funding - the deadline to apply for the remaining cash to hold them is this Friday, and some already see it as a hopeless cause. Moana Papa, who runs the night class programme at Auckland's Flat Bush High School, speaks about the consequences.

1.40: Duncan MacDonald, Avondale Community Board Chairman
The NZ Transport Agency has confirmed the form the SH20 Waterview Connection will take - a combined surface/tunnel option which will see 365 houses knocked down in the area. speaks out about why the move shows government still isn't listening to Avondale and Waterview residents.

A diplomatic row was forming late last week between Australia and Indonesia, after the former's police announced they were launching a war-crimes investigation into the 1975 deaths of the 'Balibo Five' - a TV news crew comprising two Australians, two Britons, and a New Zealander that were murdered in East Timor by invading Indonesian forces. Dr Fernandes is one of Australia's foremost intelligence experts on East Timor and a consulting historian to a new docudrama about the killings, and he makes the case for why the investigation should finally go forward.

1.30: Darien Fenton, Labour MP
A Members' Bill to be tabled in Parliament at the end of the week is touting minimum notice and compensation for redundancy for employees who lose their job. Sounds comforting in a recession, but it's encountered fierce criticism and opposition from employers' association and advocates. Its creator, Darien Fenton, defends the bill's purposes and desired effect.

1.45: Max Whitehead, Whitehead Group
Max Whitehead is an employment law expert claiming the move to institute redundancy compensation would be unwise and a likely nail in the coffin to small business. He explains why he thinks Darien Fenton's bill should be opposed.
