It's time to talk money for Sorted website's annual Money Week...and apparently we New Zealanders would rather talk politics, drugs or alcohol anything other than money... and many of us never talk about money with our family, friends and colleagues.

Sorted Editor Tom Hartmann is to chat about why we don't like to chat about money.

 

10:45 Thousands register for Te Reo parades

Kua tī-mata te wiki o te reo Māori - Māori Language Week has begun - and to kick it off a roaring parade made its way down central Wellington, drawing hundreds of spectators.

As Te Aniwa Hurihanganui reports, 20 thousand people have registered to take part in six parades across the country this week to celebrate te reo - the biggest response organisers have ever had.
