Following severe flooding in Wellington, concerns are growing over the discharge of untreated sewage into coastal waters, and what that could mean for marine ecosystems. Experts say the impacts could extend beyond immediate pollution, affecting habitats and species over time. Producer Pranuja spoke with Dr Christopher Cornwall, Senior Lecturer in Marine Biology at Victoria University of Wellington, about the environmental risks.
Last week, the Save Science Coalition released a report looking at the impact of government cuts to science over the last two years, finding they have led to over 700 roles being slashed.
The report contained eleven stories of New Zealand scientists who had to move countries or shift into a different field to find work as a result of government cuts, and made suggestions for non-partisan long term funding to ensure the security of New Zealand’s research and development.
To discuss the impacts of cost cutting to publicly funded science and potential solutions to the problem, Monday Wire producer Thomas talked to Save Science Coalition spokesperson Ben Wylie-van Eerd.
This week's show focuses on Stereolab's Emperor Tomato Ketchup, along with their Fluorescences EP - both of which are celebrating their 30th anniversary this year. Features tracks from throughout Stereolab's mid-to-late 90s output, as well as from contemporaries including Broadcast, Tortoise and Pram. Also includes tracks from Jim O'Rourke, Air and Cornelius!
*Note: the upcoming Stereolab concert in Auckland at the Powerstation is on Thursday 25th June, not Saturday 27th June (as mentioned by Yann multiple times during the show).
Elle spoke with Robber Robber, about their sophomore album Two Wheels Move the Soul, released earlier this year. The album was written in amounst precarious circumstances, after a fire had sent their building to demolition.
The uncertainty and chaos of the band’s experience is reflected within the hefty guitar riffs and sharp abstracted lyrics. It's so awesome.
Last week, the Green Party leaders, Marama Davidson and Chloe Swarbrick, hosted their state of the planet address, where they launched their call to electrify the nation.
On top of that, events this week have led the party to criticise the government. The first critique, instigated by the floods that swept the nation, hitting the Coromandel and causing a state of emergency in the Wellington Region, led the Greens to question the government's decreased funding of flood responses as harsh weather increases.
The second critique came with a cabinet paper this week that shows the government is planning on moving ahead with reforms to legislation that will see references to the Treaty of Waitangi and Te Tiriti o Waitangi redefined, in what the government sez is about ‘standardisation’ but what the Green Party sees as dishonouring Te Tiriti.
So for our weekly catch-up with the Green Party’s Ricardo Menéndez March, we discuss their criticisms of the government but start with a discussion of their electrification policy.
