It's Liam's inaugural Friday Wire hosting! Woo! Today on the show:
Liam spoke to councillor Shane Henderson about public transport cancellations and a new tool for tsunami evacuation on our regular City Counselling segment.
As well as Giacomo Lichtner from Victoria University of Wellington about the current state of politics in Italy.
They also had a chat with CCS Disability Action’s Debbir Ward about the Abuse in Care inquiry,
And finally spoke with Rochelle Corrigan from Blind Low Vision about the need for volunteers to raise guide-dogs to be.
Italian politics has been in an immense state of chaos over the past week, as Prime Minister Mario Draghi has successfully resigned after having his former attempt rejected.
This has come as tensions across political lines within the coalition government have reached their breaking point.
Despite the PM receiving a vote of confidence, three other major political parties in the cabinet refused to vote.
Liam spoke to Victoria University of Wellington's Giacomo Lichtner about the state of affairs across Italy, first asking about where this divide in the cabinet came from.
