Newshub Nation: April 17, 2021
Episode description
Power pair Tova O'Brien and Mihingarangi Forbes host a blockbuster exploration of the nation’s health services.
Associate Health Minister (Maori Health) Peeni Henare joins Mihi to talk vaccinations, mental health - and how much power we'll give the new Maori Health Authority.
Fresh from the front lines of public health herself, she was catapulted into Cabinet, where she’s in charge of much of women’s health. Associate Health Minister Ayesha Verrall is live with Tova.
And a special report: If you want to have a child by surrogate in NZ, you'll have to navigate 66-year-old laws. Simon Shepherd follows the twists and turns of one baby’s journey.
And a crack team of political commentators share their analysis - Dr Rhys Jones, senior lecturer in indigenous health, High Court barrister and solicitor Brigitte Morten and Chair of the National Urban Maori Authority, Lady Tureiti Moxon.
