UK to Cut Planning Hurdles for Small Builders in Housing Push
The UK government said it would cut back planning hurdles faced by smaller housebuilders, as Prime Minister Keir Starmer seeks to deliver on his target of building 1.5 million new homes. Minor developments of as many as nine homes will face simpler planning requirements and faster decision-making, while sites of between ten and 49 homes will also face lower costs, the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government said in a statement late on Tuesday.

Has the Liberal party lost Chinese Australian voters for good?
After two thumping election loses, the Liberal party has a lot of soul-searching to do if it wants to regain government, especially with Chinese Australian communities. In its post-2022 election review, the party admitted more work needed to be done to win votes with Chinese Australians after electorates with significant communities all voted against the Liberal party at a higher rate than others. So why was the drubbing repeated in 2025?

Bridging The Gap In HIV Prevention For Māori: Insights And Resources Now Available
Press Release – Research For Maori Health and Development The research, Investigating Barriers and Enablers to Preventive HIV Access for Mori Communities, reveals that Mori continue to face cultural, systemic, and personal barriers to HIV prevention including stigma, fear, and healthcare services that … Aotearoa risks following global trends where HIV has become a disease of the marginalised — unless urgent action is taken. A new study released exposes critical gaps in HIV prevention for Māori men and takatāpui, and launches a new booklet designed to empower communities with culturally relevant information on PrEP (pre exposure prophylaxis) and sexual health. The research, Investigating Barriers and Enablers to Preventive HIV Access for Māori Communities, reveals that Māori continue to face cultural, systemic, and personal barriers to HIV prevention — including stigma, fear, and healthcare services that often feel unwelcoming or unsafe. 'People still feel whakamā about seeking sexual health services. They're worried about being judged, misunderstood, or even outed. That's not good enough in 2025,' says Dr Clive Aspin, Research Project Advisory Group. Disparities in HIV diagnoses National data shows a concerning trend: while HIV diagnoses among Pākehā have dropped dramatically — from 53 in 2019 to 28 in 2023 — diagnoses among Māori have slightly increased, from 17 to 19 over the same period. This growing inequity signals that Māori are not benefiting equally from existing prevention strategies. 'These numbers may seem small, but they tell a bigger story. Without culturally grounded responses, Aotearoa risks becoming a nation where HIV disproportionately affects its Indigenous people — just as it has elsewhere in the world,' says Dr Amohia Boulton, Research Director. Protecting people from HIV is not just about individual health – it strengthens the wellbeing of entire whānau. This research informs strategies to improve outcomes for Māori by acknowledging and addressing the unique experiences of Māori. By centring te ao Māori in HIV prevention, this study supports the right of Māori to protect our whakapapa in ways that uphold mana and avoid stigma. When Māori can access care and information that reflect who we are, all of us – stand to benefit. A legacy of stigma — and a call for change The research highlights how the trauma of the 1980s AIDS crisis still echoes in Māori communities, with lasting stigma, fear, and misinformation deterring people from accessing care. Participants described discrimination in healthcare settings, lack of privacy, and shame tied to sexual health — especially for takatāpui Māori. Turning research into action: a new resource To support that change, the team has developed a new community booklet that responds directly to the research findings. The resource provides: • Easy-to-follow information on PrEP and HIV prevention; • Culturally resonant explanations grounded in kaupapa Māori; • Voices and experiences from the Māori community; • Guidance for whānau, providers, and allies on how to create safe, stigma-free spaces for care. This resource aligns with the National HIV Action Plan for Aotearoa (2023–2030), which seeks to eliminate new HIV transmissions and ensure everyone living with HIV can lead healthy lives free from stigma. 'Sexual health should be a normal part of wellbeing — not something shrouded in shame,' says Dr Clive Aspin. 'This booklet is a practical, powerful tool to help shift the kōrero and make prevention accessible to all Māori.' Acknowledging partners and looking forward The research team also extends deep appreciation to the advisory partners whose knowledge, lived experience, and guidance shaped the direction and depth of the pilot study. Their contribution helped ensure the work was grounded, relevant, and responsive to the diverse realities of the communities and sectors involved. The booklet and full research findings are available at:
