This week for Wire Worry Week we focused on LGBTI issues and spoke to the Executive Director of Rainbow Youth. We also looked at the plans to reopen the Albert Park tunnels, a new exhibition looking at South Auckland music, the unfortunate experiment and lots more.
New plans are in progress to reopen the main tunnel that runs under Albert Park. Bill Reid is hoping to open the tunnel as a walking and cycleway connecting Victoria Street to Parnell. Sam Smith spoke to Reid about the project.
Today is the first day back at uni for Auckland uni students and it’s a busy day on campus. All of the uni clubs have set up their stalls in the quad and Albert Park in the hopes they’ll get some new sign ups. Mary-Margaret went to ask some of the people at the stalls about joining clubs at uni and what it can add to your uni experience. She started by asking the student running the netball stall how many players are on their netball team.

If you would like to donate food to the mission you can drop it off on Hobson street, or at the New World supermarkets at Victoria park and Devonport.
Again with that fuel tax, out with the old and in with the new, right Mikey? And parks, open spaces, selling, trading, what are we doing here Phil? Mikey finds out what's going down with His Worship here on Breakfast.
Why are Auckland's parks being evaluated? Why does Nan have to pay extra when she Airbnb's her back shed? Why am I sounding so panicked? Calm down, everyone. Just call the Council, alright?
This week Sam takes a look at "Aquemini," the third studio album from Atlanta hip-hop duo Outkast. Released in 1998, "Aquemini" is considered by many to be Outkast's best album and one of the best rap albums of all time.
