Thursdays In Black is a student-led grassroots campaign, working towards a world without rape and sexual violence. Last week they published an open letter in response to a decision by the Department of Corrections (which you can find on @thursdaysinblackuoa on Instagram), that allowed a convicted rapist on home detention to attend classes on campus at the University of Auckland, without consultation with the university. Stella spoke to Vice President of the Auckland Branch, Genna Hawkins Boulton, about the letter. 

This week, Tuva'a and Labour's Andrew Little chatted co-governance, and calls by National to pause the mental health programme roll-out.

Welcome to The Thursday Wire! Today, Stella speaks to Vice President of the Auckland Branch, Genna Hawkins Boulton from Thursdays in Black about their open letter to the Department of Corrections. She also speaks to Eugenie Sage from The Green Party on their call to ban bottom trawling on seamounts. Finally, Stella speaks to Associate Professor Grant Searchfield on his recently published Tinnitus research.

Tuva’a has his weekly catch up with Andrew Little, and Frances brings us Greendesk, speaking with Predator Free Rakiura's Project Director, Campbell Leckie. And that's it for The Thursday Wire.

It's a jam packed show today with chats from KMTP about their upcoming gig, Arahi on his 'There's Nothing Like It' piano tour, Zoe from Eggy phones up from across the ditch to talk about their awesome album 'With Gusto'; and Amelia breaks the internet on Word Salad. Whakarongo mai nei!
