The Wire w/ Andre: 10 May, 2023

On the show for Rāapa: 

Andre spoke to Lauren Vinnell, Lecturer of Emergency Management at Massey University about our recent bouts of extreme weather, how Aucklanders and emergency management teams have reacted to it, and how in the future as these events become more frequent, how we may need to change our response. 

Andre also spoke to Dylan Asafo, Senior Lecturer in the Faculty of Law at the University of Auckland about why the 2021 dawn raids apology wasn’t enough for the Pacific community, and also about recent revelations that dawn raids are still happening in the Pacific community. 

On the Green Desk, Jack Marshall speaks to Sarah Bealing, a Restore Passenger Rail supporter from Wellington, about why causing traffic chaos and delays in the Wellington CBD is good for their cause.

Producer Alex Bonham speaks to Grant Hewison from Lawyers for Climate Action, and Associate Professor Alys Longley about the physical and online exhibition “Let Us Drink the New Wine Together.”
