VIDEO: Dame Susan Devoy speaks out on NZ ethnic affairs
New Zealand is a racist place, say participants at an ethnicity forum - but views are divided on whether the problem is a lack of tolerance across the board or white institutional racism against people of colour.
Auckland mayor Len Brown told a conference on racism convened by Auckland Council's Ethnic People's Advisory Panel at AUT University last month that racism existed in New Zealand and Auckland, and that it should be combated.
VIDEO: World press freedom and how it is observed in the Pacific
Australian media freedom advocate Professor Mark Pearson talks to AUT Journalism's Khing Chadwick about Pacific free media issues.
Dr Pearson, professor of journalism and social media at Griffith University, says that Australia and New Zealand take media freedom for granted.
He gave the inaugural UNESCO World Press Freedom Day lecture on May 3 at AUT University, organised by the Pacific Media Centre.
