The Wire with Zazi and Frances: October 20, 2021

This week on the Wednesday Wire, Zazi Hewlett hosts the show and Frances Wright produces remotely from her home in Wellington!

The show kicks off with Frances speaking with Social scientist and The Workshop co-director, Dr Jess Berentson-Shaw, about having hard vaccine conversations with family and friends.

Zazi then speaks to Associate Minister of Housing, Peeni Henare, about iwi-led housing solutions and the programme Whai Kāinga, Whai Oranga.  

Frances has her regular segment Dear Science with AUT Professor Marcus Jones. They speak on COVID Super-Immunity; talk about revealing solar system origins on Jupiter; and discuss learning via screen versus on paper.

Finally, Zazi has her regular catch-up with ACT's Brooke van Velden. They talk about three things: the new housing density rules, Aotearoa’s inflation being at its highest in over a decade, and also the fact that pregnant women and their partners do not currently get priority for MIQ spaces.
