10:17 MIQ changes "simply not enough"

Big news today for New Zealanders overseas who are trying to get back home. Covid-19 Response Minister Chris Hipkins says it's time to rethink how the country manages the border. From November 14th, returnees will only need to spend seven days in MIQ and three days at home and from early 2022, more travellers will be able to isolate at home. Andrew Bates finishes his MIQ stint tomorrow after sailing by catamaran from Australia's Coffs Harbour last week. He says people should simply be able to isolate at home if they have tested negative for COVID.

FIFA, the international governing body for association football have been up to their shin-guards in branding and forming their "sound identity". They've chosen an official song to be the sound of the FIFA Women's World Cup 2023 which is being held in Australia and New Zealand for the first time as we're sharing the duties as host nations. FIFA have been "building a palette based on the rainforests, earth, mountains, cities, and water of the two countries." and tonight they unveiled the official slogan, emblem, and full soundtrack for the FIFA Women's World Cup. Former Football Fern Maia Jackman joins us for a first-hand reaction to the launch.
