The Hui

This award-winning Māori current affairs show aims "to increase understanding and awareness among mainstream New Zealand about the issues facing Māori and the unique aspects of our culture". The format includes interviews, investigative reports and panel discussions. It screens on Three and Whakaata Māori, and has been fronted by Mihingarangi Forbes (winner of Best News and Current Affairs Presenter at the 2020 NZ TV Awards), and from 2023, Julian Wilcox. An April 2017 report on the experiences of men abused in state boys' homes won acclaim, and led to a government inquiry. The Hui is produced by Great Southern Television.
