TAKATĀPUI TALK: ELECTION SPECIAL — POLITICS, POLICIES & A LITTLE BIT OF FILTH! 🌈🗳️

Politics has never sounded quite like this!

With the election approaching, Takatāpui Talk brings together a fabulous, outspoken panel for an unapologetically queer conversation about the issues affecting our communities across Aotearoa.

Host Donald Hollingsworth is joined by Paul Heard, Steven Oates, Tiffany Wayne, Annah Pickering and Mihirawhiti Searancke for a lively discussion covering Te Tiriti o Waitangi, housing, homelessness, healthcare, social welfare, transgender rights and the political decisions shaping our lives.

There are serious questions, differing opinions, personal experiences and moments that remind us why our voices deserve to be heard.

And then, naturally, things get a little naughty!

From outrageous political hypotheticals to our very own Fashion Police, no politician's wardrobe is entirely safe from scrutiny.

It's political commentary with humour, heart, a healthy dose of cheekiness and absolutely no shortage of personality.

Because politics affects all of us, and being informed doesn't have to be boring.

Whatever your political persuasion, we encourage you to listen, question, investigate the policies and make your own informed decision at the ballot box.

Our voices. Our stories. Our future.
