The Wire with Jemima: July 20, 2021

Today on the Wire, Joe Wickins produces his first show and Erin from GATEWAY joined us for the day.

Jemima Huston speaks to Māori Party co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer for their regular catch up. This week they discuss the National Party’s Demand the Debate Campaign and the 2.75 million dollars in funding the government has put into a drug rehabilitation programme with links to the Mongrel Mob. 

On Tomorrow’s World Stella and Isla talk about the future of farming with Hawkes Bay Hawke's Bay Regional Council regulator Molly Alton. 

Joe asks Debra Ashton, the CEO of Safe about the legal action they are taking against the government for their failure to ban rodeos.

Joe wraps it up with an interview with Professor Asaad Shamseldin, from the Faculty of Engineering at the University of Auckland, on the extreme weather occurring in the South Island and its connection to climate change.
