NB: Following the broadcast of this interview it has come to 95bFM's attention that the subject of this interview, Rick Giles, espouses political and historical views that the station finds particularly unsavoury. We will not be removing or editing the interview, but wish to make it clear to all listeners that 95bFM does not support or align itself with the personal politics of the interviewee. Our decision to provide Mr. Giles a platform during a week-long discussion on anti-government movements was one that, with hindsight, would not have survived greater scrutiny and vetting process. The station, its volunteers and wider associates do not wish to endorse Mr. Giles' particular brand of historical revisionism in any way, shape or form and we sincerely apologise for any concern or aggravation caused via our negligence in this case.
If you wish to speak to us regarding this matter, please get in touch with our News Director at newsroom@95bfm.com.
Wire Worry Week is focusing on the concept of anti government; expanding upon how movements that have worked against governmental systems have influence on the current state of the world. Laura Kvigstad reached out to creator of the Facebook page, Anarchist History of New Zealand, Rick Giles to discuss what exactly anarchy is.
The Auckland Women’s Centre is an organisation working in the area of primary prevention for sexual assault, as well as family and sexual violence. This means community education and support groups to enhance women’s self esteem, coordinating a group of preventing violence agencies, and making submissions to government. Recently, the Family Violence laws have been reformed, something that Green Party MP Jan Logie, the Under-Secretary to the Minister of Justice for domestic and sexual violence issues has been working on for a while. The law expands the definition of family violence to include coercive and controlling behaviour, but proving that could be challenging. Under the wider definition, police will consider more factors when issuing a protection order such as the abuse of pets, withholding care and dowry abuse. Sherry Zhang spoke with Auckland Women’s Centre Manager Leonie Morris about the changes.
