The Wire with Jemima: October 13, 2020

Today on the Wire it is our final week of election coverage and we're looking at human issues. 

Karanama looks into the inequity faced by Māori in the healthcare, justice and economic systems in Aotearoa. He speaks with the Green Party co-leader Marama Davidson and the National Party’s healthcare spokesperson Dr Shane Reti about these issues. 

Hanna talks to spokesperson for the Child Poverty Action Group, Janet McAllister, about whether the government’s targeted focus on child poverty has really made a difference this parliamentary term. 

Jemima talks to Māori Party co-leader John Tamihere about Oranga Tamariki and the Māori Seats in Parliament. 

To wrap up the show Jemima chats to University to Auckland politics lecturer Dr Lara Greaves about the Māori Electoral Roll and the Maori Seats and what impact they have on participation in elections.
