The Wire w/ Castor: 13th August, 2024

On the Tuesday Wire this week...

For Dear Science this week, we chatted with our expert Dr Cushla McGoverin about a parasite carrying drugs to the brain, tarantulas with lots of friends, and lions changing social groups with age. 

In our weekly catchup with the National Party, Wire host Castor spoke to MP Katie Nimon about changes to visa fees and police involvement in firearms law reform. 

They also talked to president of the New Zealand Police Association Chris Cahill about the association’s open letter to the government about firearms legislation reform. 

And they spoked to CEO of immigration advice organisation Aims Global and chair of the New Zealand Association for Migration and Investment, Arunima Dhingra, about the visa fee changes and how they’ll impact immigration to Aotearoa.
