This week Zazi and Brooke have their regular chat, talking about the lights going out in Waikato earlier this week and the Government's recently proposed Hate Speech laws against incitement, hatred and discrimination. 

Zazi starts off by asking Brooke about the power outage in Waikato. She asks Brooke about the ACT party's reaction to it, New Zealand's current sources that are used to generate electricity and whether this power outage should start another conversation about reducing our use of, or better distributing, electricity. 

Brooke and Zazi then briefly speak on the recently proposed Hate Speech laws, discussing the ACT party's submission and whether Brooke believes that there is a way we can protect free speech and address Hate speech at the same time.
