For Max's final Wire 😢 he spoke with Green Party MP Ricardo Menendez March for our weekly catchup w/ The Green Party. They discussed the latest report on Auckland homelessness, a potential social media ban in Aotearoa, and the Government’s RMA reforms.
In June, former Wednesday Wire host Oto spoke to an Iranian New Zealander living in Iran, going under the alias ‘Maryam’, to discuss Israel launching missiles inside Iranian territory.
In September, Max spoke with John Minto from the Palestine Solidarity Network Aotearoa to discuss US President Trump’s leaked Gaza Riviera plan.
In October, Producer Manny spoke with Professor of Conservation Biology James Russel, on preparations made to prevent an explosion of predator species when the beech trees fruit.
And earlier this month, Producer Flo spoke with University of Auckland researcher Kirsten Tilleman, about the safety of queer people on public transport.
The Wednesday Wire will return in January 2026... Merry Christmas to all, and a happy New Year!
