This week on the Tuesday Wire Joel Rindelaub joined Casper and Christina in studio to talk science news for the Dear Science segment.
Casper spoke to Dr Shane Reti from the National party, as he does each week, this time discussing engagement in local body elections as well as the independent electoral review now under consultation.
Christina spoke to Dr Lara Greaves, a political commentator from the university of Auckland about the outcome of the Sam Uffindell bullying investigation.
She also had a chat with UoA student Layba Zubair about her petition to reform consent legislation in Aotearoa.
And Casper talked to Dr Tanisha Jowsey about a petition being read to parliament about officially classifying Chronic Fatigue Syndrome as a disability.
Voting for this year’s local body elections has begun, which is bringing increasing scrutiny to the issue of voter engagement.
Particularly for young people, Maori and Pasifika, but also for the general population, voter participation in local elections is relatively low and on the decline.
In regards to next year’s national election, the Independant Electoral Review Panel has begun seeking public input on potential changes to the electoral system that could benefit New Zealand’s democracy.
For Casper's weekly catch-up with National MP Dr Shane Reti, they discussed this topic of voter engagement as well as what might be expected from this electoral review and which changes he might believe to be useful.

Christina sat down with Layba Zubair to talk about her petition to reform consent laws in Aotearoa, which had received 12,000 signatures by the time it closed and will now head to Parliament.
