Joel Bray popped in today to talk about his one-man show 'Biladurang' which he is performing as part of the Auckland Arts Festival. Performed in a hotel room to a small audience, the play is loosely based on the Wiradjuri story of the platypus and explores everything from identity, through to sexuality and searching for home.

ustin recaps the main points covered in today's Electoral Response Committee meeting, as reported by Laura Kvigstad and Jessica Hopkins.
Following Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's Alert Level Two announcement yesterday, the committee looks into the impacts of Covdi 19 on the tourism industry. Representatives from New Zealand Māori Tourism, The Haka Tourism Group, Event Impressions, Sounds Air, Pan Pacific Travel, Sudima Hotels and Tourism Industry Aotearoa were all in attendance, with Minister of Tourism Kelvin Davis joining later in the meeting.
The Epidemic Response Committee was established in late March to consider and report to the House of Representatives on matters relating to the Government's management of Covid-19. The chairperson is Simon Bridges, leader of Opposition.
Kaishandao is a Pōneke-born, Chengdu-based musician and producer, who is behind the online portal and touring company Kiwese. A few months ago, she self-released the Homeland EP, an enigmatic debut that seems to wed hypnagogic memories to the pulse, structure and dynamics of dance music. She shares a mix made during an unexpected two-week hotel quarantine, which shifts from slowburning melancholy to meditative rhythms and emotional bops.
To close, we hear from ajhoneysuckle, a Tainui/Samoan deejay based in Ōtautahi. Her sets centre nostalgic melodies, rhythmic breaks, and big basslines, and have quickly seen her get booked for some of the bigger parties across Aotearoa. Tonight, she shares a mix that focuses on the darker elements of Drill, Grime, Dub, and Hip-hop before transitioning into high energy UK-inflected sounds.

Last Monday Wire, Jessica Hopkins talked about the The Harmful Digital Communications Amendment Bill, which would make it illegal to post an intimate visual recording online without consent.
The Justice Committees recently called for submissions, particularly from young people to hear their thoughts on the bill.
Jessica interviewed Louisa Wall, the MP in charge of the bill, about why hearing from young people is important, and her thoughts on the current state of consent education in Aotearoa.
Earlier this week, Jake Bezzant was kicked out of the National Party after an ex-partner accused him of sharing explicit images of her online. The former party member ran for National in Upper Harbour last year and the accusations have raised questions about how the law deals with image based sexual abuse.
Noah Ferguson-Dudding spoke to Netsafe CEO Martin Cocker about the accusations and how the law can be changed to better protect victims. Noah also spoke to Labour MP Louisa Wall who is currently aiming to do just that, by putting forward a members bill to ammend the Harmful Digital Communications Act.
