The Wire w/ Castor: 27th August, 2024

This week on the Tuesday Wire...

For Dear Science we chatted with our expert Professor Allan Blackman about mosquitoes using infrared, digital versus paper tests, and potential uses for whisky waste. 

In our weekly catchup with the National Party, Wire host Castor spoke to MP Katie Nimon about changes to the Fast Track Approvals Bill and potential amendments to the Marine and Coastal Area Act. 

They also spoke to Forest and Bird’s Geoff Keey about the Fast Track Bill, both the announced changes and what more they say needs to happen. 

And they spoke to Rachel Mackintosh from the E tū union about the recent Uber employment case. 

Producer Josef spoke to Peace Action Wellington Representative, Valerie Morse, about the New Zealand Defence Force’s contract with BAE systems.
