Coming up on Te Karere... iwi who are a part of Aotearoa Fisheries may not receive big returns on their shares this year. Will the NZ Geographic Board make Te Ika a Maui and Te Waipounamu official? One of Auckland's historic waterfront buildings is celebrating its 100th birthday with a make-over. Due to the live nature of Te Karere, some segments will not be subtitled. Tena koutou katoa, and welcome to Te Karere. The NZ Geographic Board is set to reveal to the Government its decision today on the official names of NZ's two main islands. The board wants to make the North and South names official, but had also been consulting with the public about whether to also formally assign official alternative Maori names to the islands. This is Te Waipounamu, this is Te Ika a Maui. A decision to make the names of these two islands official could mean these two names are chosen. They're beautiful names that speak of our aspirations for this beautiful country. The member of the Far North says it's only right they should be made official. The North is the north. Those other names are useless, even though they're the most commonly used. Today the NZ Geographic Board met. There are four Maori on the board - Matanuku Mahuika, Te Maire Tau, Merata Kawharu and Rikirangi Gage. There have been over 2000 submissions to the board. Over 700 are against one, some or all of the names. Despite my request for an interview with the Board, no one is available because they are currently meeting to discuss the submissions. At the end of the day however I like it because I've always known them to be named that. The NZ Geographic Board will make a statement tomorrow. Roihana Nuri, Te Karere. Meetings between Sealord and iwi who are a part of Aotearoa Fisheries are underway to explain the reason behind a shortfall in returns this year and where to from here. Tribes in Wellington came to get answers. That's what the Sealord CEO has told them in their fourth road trip meetings. They are frank in their explanation. Shareholders are supposed to get a 40% dividend of the profit per year, AFL are say they are bound to that. Whaimutu Dewes says the hope is to ease shareholders worries, and to discuss moving forward. Shareholders say they just hope lessons are learned from this experience. Just how much of a loss is made and what little dividend the shareholders will get won't be known till the end of the fishing calendar which is in September. Irena Smith, Te Karere. Should the act of 'whakapohane' (baring of buttocks) continue to be performed, or should it be abandoned? Last year, Hinewhare Harawira bared her buttocks to a group of elderly outside Te Tii Marae's kaumatua flats in Waitangi. This matter is in front of the Maori Land Court. Hinewhare Harawira is no stranger to controversy. She went out on to the road, took down her pants and exposed her bottom to them. It was her response to kaumatua questioning her eligibility to be able to live in a kamautua flat. Its disrespectful to our elders of Ngati Rahiri. If some go to that extent to show their opposition against elders, they should be removed. Even though Hinewhare is a trustee of Te Tii B3 Trust, the caretakers of the kaumatua flats and land in Waitangi, a dispute broke out after she wasn't allowed one. 3 kaumatua, Hapeta Rameka, Joyce Baker and Billie Taituha took exception to her behaviour They are elders of Ngati Rahiri. They say they were not entitled to kamatua housing because they were not kaumatua, despite coming from there. It looks like they will have to resolve this issue amongst themselves when they hold their annual meeting in September. Tini Molyneux, Te Karere. We have Labour MP Shane Jones live with us now. Was Hinewhare Harawira's act of 'whakapohane' acceptable? We're unable to provide subtitles. Shane Jones, thank you for your time. After the break, a fat tax is being raised as a way to improve the health of Nzers, according to new research.

Oh, hey, guys. Boom. PEOPLE CHATTER Te Arawa FOMA is calling for Maori farm owners, and operators to collaborate, and explore new science to improve the land use, and further implement clean energy farming as water pollution levels continue to rise around the lakes district with the hope of reducing the use of heavy artificial inputs such as nitrogen. Picturesque to the naked eye, but the reality is, Te Arawa's lakes are heavily polluted thanks to run-off coming from Maori farms. Hence the call to Maori farm operators, local and nationally, to start exploring new science, and more environmentally sustainable ways of farming. Up until now, the traditional method used by most farmers involves using large amounts of chemicals, and fertiliser to boost soil, and growth, which also increases pasture quality. But White says, the time for change is well overdue. A soil researcher presented what could be a remedy, but that also makes things more complicated. While it's still in its very early stages, the issue is something Te Arawa FOMA will be looking to take to the country. Kereama Wright, Te Karere. A fat tax is being mooted as a way to improve the health of New Zealanders, according to new research. The breakthrough study by Otago University researchers shows that switching just 5% of your daily energy intake from animal fats to plant fats decreases heart disease by 10%. The study proposes switching red meat for canned tuna, cheese for nuts and butter for canola oil. Heart disease affects around 300,000 New Zealanders. After 100 years on the Auckland Waterfront, Shed 10 has been renovated to welcome guests from cruise ships from all over the world and will also double as a convention centre. As Peata Melbourne reports, Maori art is an evident inspiration in the renovations. The marking of a momentous occasion and new beginnings for the refurbished cruise ship stop. The Waterfronts chairman receiving a gift from local iwi Ngati Whatua honouring their combined efforts in refurbishing the new cruise ship stop and events centre to its completion. Right next door is The Cloud that was built as the events centre as part of the Rugby World Cup celebrations. Now however it has a new neighbour and people can now come to this side of the wharf. $12.5 million later, the project has been completed. We want the oral histories to be told to welcome guests with compassion and hospitality as our ancestors would have, that's how we should be, as should the future generations. Artists like Will Ngakuru were invited to partake Artists like Will Ngakuru were invited to partake in the project and produced this waka called Te Haumi. A big space, and not so big decor, but all in context says Makoare. I don't see this as a wall, I don't see this as a wall, this is what the sky looks like at night. The carving shines in the dark, and like the night, ventures from the darkness into the light. Auckland's new cruise ship terminal hasn't yet been given an official Maori name, but will begin its operations in October. Peata Melbourne, Te Karere.

Over 100 Chiefs fans ventured out into the cold this morning Over 1000 Chiefs fans ventured out into the cold this morning to buy tickets to see the Chiefs clash against the Brumbies in the Super 15 finals in Hamiton on Saturday. The temperature in Hamilton was freezing this morning as they lined up to buy their tickets, but some even slept outside the gates so that they wouldn't miss out on tickets to what they believe will be a Chiefs victory. Organisers believe tickets will be sold out by the end of the day and it's said that 12,000 people will turn up to watch the game. That's all we have for today. Turou Hawaiki.
