Election Year
Grab a paper and join three of Aotearoa’s top journalists as they discuss the day’s news and share their thoughts on the upcoming New Zealand general election. Expect predictions, hot takes and a behind-the-scenes glimpse at how the media presents politics.
Editor at large at The Spinoff, Toby Manhire hosts the Gone By Lunchtime podcast. Former Sunday and Marae host, journalist and author Miriama Kamo co-hosts The Elephant at NZME, while Guyon Espiner presents the daily Midday Report on RNZ, the RNZ podcast Context with Corin Dann, and the interview show 30 with Guyon Espiner.
Do take the opportunity to grab a drink and a bite to eat from the friendly staff at our in-house caterers, Federal Diner. They will have a pop up café open in the Armstrong Room for the duration of the festival weekend.
Chris and the team from Paper Plus Wānaka will also have a book stall in the Armstrong Room featuring books by several of our speakers. Chris will kindly donate a percentage of sales back to the festival, so buying a book not only supports a great local business, but also supports our festival events!
