On today's First Up pod - the Rafah border between Gaza and Egypt is open for limited humanitarian relief and the evacuation of foreign nationals; outgoing deputy prime minister Carmel Sepuloni joins us on the eve of the special votes coming out; put some CRC on the bike chain... we're down in the deep south, where the famous Tour of Southland cycling race is in full swing and a local bootmaker, in 2023!
