Loose Reads w/ Suri thanks to Time Out Bookstore. Get your bookwork on as we talk books, music books, other books and more books.

ACT MP Simon Court has come under fire in the last few days for comments he made to a submitter in a select committee meeting about menstrual products.
During a hearing on benefit sanctions a female submitter was outlining concerns about period poverty and the impacts menstrual products can have on a low-income family budget.
In response to these concerns Court asked if she was aware of, or had people around her aware of, a menstrual cup - outlining its cost and where to buy it. He was heavily criticised by Te Pati Maori, and later Labour for ‘mansplaining’, calling his comments ‘deeply offensive’ as he doubled down.
For our weekly catch up with the ACT Party Producer Evie spoke to Simon Court about these comments. They also spoke about the Destiny Church protest at Auckland Pride over the weekend, as well as the Director General of Health’s resignation, the third key health role resignation in recent weeks.

And Matt Hart joins us in studio to discuss fandoms and micro-fandoms, following on from Laneway the week before last.
The report ‘Reuniting Families, a path forward for Aotearoa New Zealand’; a collaboration between the University of Auckland and the New Zealand Red Cross, was recently released, with the report highlighting the concerns with Aotearoa’s family sponsorship system regarding the intake of those forcibly displaced from their home countries, and the 7-year backlog of those a part of the system.
News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the Co-Director at the Centre for Asia Pacific Refugee Studies at the University of Auckland’s Faculty of Education and Social Work, Professor Jay Marlowe, about the report, and what the report details to better correct the system.
Firstly, they started by asking how the family sponsorship system works.
In light of RFK Jr, a notorious, prominent anti-vaxxer, being appointed as the US Secretary of Health and Human Services, many are concerned about what direct consequences we could see as a result of this move.
News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to vaccinologist and Professor in the Faculty of Medical and Health Sciences at the University of Auckland, Dr Helen Petousis-Harris, about the appointment of RFK Jr, and what consequences we could see not only in the US, but internationally, due to this decision.
They started off by asking who RFK Jr is, and how he was able to take up this role.
