The Wire w/ Frances: March 23, 2022

This week on the Wire Alex begins by speaking to the ACT party’s Brooke Van Velden about the history curriculum and the housing market.

Frances then speaks to Gabriel Gati from Bike Auckland about the massive rates of bike theft in Auckland and an initiative called 529 Garage which is hoping to decrease the rates of bike theft. She then speaks with our Europe Correspondent Cameron Mulgan on this week's Eurovision segment. This week we get an update on Ukraine, talk about Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe returning to the UK, and what the music scene is looking like over there in the wake of Brexit 

Alex wraps up the show speaking with Matt Doocey from the National Party about the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission report and the Green Party’s Teanau Tuiono about his call for more long-term support for Maori and Pasifika in the midst of the pandemic.
