In the near future, a controversial government bill bars people with terminal illnesses from receiving treatment. Pianist Irina, a Ukrainian refugee, is cared for at home by her son with a dubious mix of natural and illegal remedies. When Irina’s feisty daughter returns from the war and a famous former pupil appears on their doorstep, hope and delusion blur together making us question the morality of fighting for your life and your loved ones.

In her own words, she was a ‘Maori teen mum from the ’Naki’ who others expected to end up on the DPB. Instead she worked her way up through the fashion industry, launched her own online fitness community and clothing brand, and is now in demand as a motivational speaker and social media influencer. She has overcome depression and what she now recognises was an unhealthy relationship with her body, to promote a message of self-love and empowerment.
In Keeping it Real, Makaia openly shares her struggles and the strategies that help her to maintain a positive body image and outlook. Her story is a reminder that physical and emotional well-being starts with self-acceptance. As she says, 'self-loathing is imprisonment; self-love is liberation'.

At about 8.40pm, there was an altercation between two groups of people outside a restaurant on Lunn Avenue before the parties separated and got into two vehicles.
Detective Inspector Glenn Baldwin, of Auckland City CIB, says the occupants in one vehicle allegedly discharged a firearm towards the other vehicle.
“Both vehicles fled immediately after, however our staff were in the area, and signalled one to stop.
“The other vehicle has continued on towards Mount Wellington and was tracked by the Police helicopter heading towards Māngere.”
Detective Inspector Baldwin says the Police helicopter provided commentary as the vehicle pulled into a property on Mountain Road, Māngere Bridge where the occupants ran through properties and got into another vehicle.
“The offenders then continued onto the South-Western motorway towards Manurewa and officers attempted to stop it on Puhinui Road, however, it failed to stop.
“A pursuit ensued towards a Burundi Avenue address where two people were arrested, both with gang links.”
He says a sawn-off shotgun was also located in the vehicle.
“While officers were at the scene another vehicle drove through Police cordons and failed to stop when signalled so that driver was also arrested.
She was the partner of one of the arrested men.
“We know incidents like this are distressing for the wider community, so these swift arrests by our diligent staff are really pleasing and significant to ongoing public safety.”
The police investigation is continuing and further arrests are not excluded.
A 30-year-old man will appear in Auckland District Court today charged with unlawful possession of a firearm, failing to stop, and intent to cause grievous bodily harm with a firearm.
Detective Inspector Baldwin says there are currently no known links between a later firearms incident in neighbouring Counties Manukau district.
“We are keeping an open mind at this very early stage,” he says.
