Coming up on Te Karere... an Auckland kura kaupapa is threatening to take the DHB to the Medical Council. We need to look at how we can now ensure their health in years to come. Two students were administered the wrong immunisation shots. The SkyCity deal is almost cemented but politicians continue to dog it. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. An Auckland kura kaupapa is threatening to lodge a formal complaint with the Medical Council after two students were administered the wrong immunisation shots. A girl received a shot for an older age group, while a boy received a vaccine which is normally only administered to girls and young women to ward off cervical cancer. Tina Wickliffe with that story. We're unable to provide subtitles. Tina Wickliffe, Te Karere. Parliament's speaker has decided that the National Party's convention centre deal with SkyCity will be put to a conscience vote in the house tomorrow. This allows government MPs to vote free of party lines. But that seems highly unlikely. Irena Smith with the details. It's a win for the Greens, but will they gain the result they want? They requested the Speaker of the House to hold a conscience vote over the SkyCity deal. At the moment, 61 are for and 60 are against the legislation, so if one person from the Government votes against it, the bill will be knocked over. But the Prime Minister says he has the support of his members, Tau Henare wouldn't say which way he would vote, but he supports a conscience vote. Just as it is for the Greens, gambling is a big issue for the Maori Party. The first reading will be held tomorrow along with the first vote. If it gets enough votes, it will then go to select committee. A decile 2 school, but the principal believes the education given is of the highest quality. That's her view, following the release of PPTAs research stating that Males, Maori, Polynesian and under privileged are more likely to fail in education. Government stats show one in every five students are failing. Which prompted PPTA to expand those stats, and look deeper in to the matter. However, Alaalatoa says that rather than focussing on looking for remedies, more focus should be put into doing the work on the ground. She also supports the OECD's stance - that poverty should not be a barrier to quality education as long as you have expert teachers. The research also states that Pakeha and Asian students in New Zealand sit on par, or higher than the world OECD education line. Maori are slightly lower, and Pacific students are significantly lower. After the break, is there money in the Geothermal market for Maori? Buck Shelford. Buck Shelford. Hi. You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? You're here for the heart and diabetes TV ad? Yeah. Of course. Of course. What do you mean? Well, heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. I know. I know. So, I'm a woman ` fat and funny ` and you're a... ex-All Black ` not so funny. So? So? So we've got all of the demographics covered. Not all of them. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Not all of them. Oh, hey, guys. Boom. PEOPLE CHATTER And now we cross over to Labour Party MP Shane Jones live from Wellington. Tena koe, Shane. Is Grant Robertson planning on leading a coup? We're unable to provide subtitles. Shane Jones, thank you for your time. The decision to cut dividends to iwi shareholders by Sealord was no surprise to iwi investors, but they admit the blow was bigger than expected. Ngati Kahungunu were annoyed with the decision, but say they saw it coming. Ngati Porou questions the accountability of the board and are expecting an explanation. They say although the amount of the dividends will be significantly reduced, AFL are still bound to provide 40% to iwi. Iwi members also said that now is the time to come together and be proactive about a solution. The Maori Affairs Select Committee has decided against another inquiry into the affects the Tuhoe Raids had on Tuhoe whanau, but they have come up with another idea. Tau Henare says they will ask the police commissioner to come and speak to them on what they have learnt from the independent police commission inquiry and what they would do different in those circumstances. But Waiariki MP Te Ururoa Flavell says that is not good enough. Te Ururoa says he doesn't think inviting the commissioner will have any affect as it is up to him to take up the invitation or not Maori are the ultimate innovators and should be the driving force behind geothermal energy in NZ according to Dr Pita Sharples at a Maori geothermal symposium which began yesterday at the Waiariki Institute of Technology in Rotorua. Our Maori economy represents generations of people, those who have passed on, those alive today and those not yet born. This is what long-term investment means for Maori, the key focus of the geothermal symposium at the Waiariki Institute of Technology. If there are resources sitting there, I see nothing wrong with taking some of it and using it for the benefit of our children. We were happy and eager to come to this hui and to learn all there is about geothermal water and all its uses. It was a positive meeting about the future. These geothermal waters from within the depths of Mother Earth are a gift handed down by the ancestors, the aim now is that Maori as kaitiaki should also be at the helm in all facets of its developments, for Maori, by Maori. They are all sovereign gems, the geothermal waters, the forests and the waters. On future geothermal developments, there were also words of caution; go carefully. Hinerangi Goodman, Te Karere. It was supposed to be an invitation to the Maori Affairs Select Committee to launch an investigation into the Crown's oversight in relation to Te Wananga o Aotearoa and the appointment process for the CEO. But the hearing quickly turned into a grilling for the Tertiary Education Commission and Ministry of Education members. Peata Melbourne was there. It started like any typical hearing, until these attendees were asked if they had a written briefing. It's standard practice for any select committee, but their presentation was anything but. And other members were quick to let them know just how disappointed. Today's hearing was brought to attention when the new TWOA CEO Jim Mather was appointed earlier this year, and it caused chaos amongst the staff claiming due diligence of the appointment process was questionable, and the current CEO Bentham Ohia was rolled out. A grievance that today was to be addressed by the committee through an investigation in to the appointment process, to no avail. An apology was given on the spot but with little remorse from the members. So for now, those eagerly awaiting some action around the CEO appointment will have to wait until the commission members can practice some standard procedures of their own and provide a written briefing, no more and no less. After the break, the weather. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. 50s male. Severe chest pain. Massive cardiac arrest. Get Cardiology down here now. We're losing him. We're losing him. He's flatlining. We're losing him. He's flatlining. Oh my God. What? What? It's Buck Shelford. Heart disease and diabetes kill more than 6000 Kiwis every year. That's why I had a check-up with my doctor. It was quick and easy. Oh, it's OK. I'm not having a real heart attack. That's good, Buck, cos I'm not a real doctor.
