It’s no secret that women and minorities are under-represented in the music industry. With the release of the Northern Bass line up last week, this severe lack of representation became even more evident with the festival announcing a total of four acts for its female lineup. Wire Producer Harry caught up with pop music commentator and columnist, Miriama Aoake, to learn more about the music scene in New Zealand, and how we can provide more accessability and exposure for the women and minority communities involved.
This week's Wire Worry topic is LGBT issues/Pride. Today, we focus on a particularly sensitive issue: blood donations from gay and bisexual men.
Although the situation of MSM ("men who have sex with men") donations has improved in the last 10 years, there is stil a one year deferral period. This means: if you are a sexually active gay or bisexual man, you have to go through a year of total abstinence if you want to give your blood.
The Wednesday Wire team discusses the deferral, the science behind it, and whether it can be perceived as discriminatory. Facts and figures provided by our producer Lisa Boudet.
We had contacted NZ Blood Service for comment but no one was available at the time to speak on the matter, so bear in mind this discussion is only a fragment of a longer report, which will be broadcasted and uploaded soon.
This Wire Worry Week, we are focusing on reframing the refugee crisis.
We have been speaking about The EU and Italy, discrimination of Refugees in NZ, and decontexualising the term crisis.
This Month saw the government up it’s quota from 750 to 1000 refugees per year, in accordance with with the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees. This week saw five families, 21 refugees in total welcomed to New Zealand as part of a Community Organisation Refugee Sponsorship Program. The group will spend two weeks at the Mangere Refugee Resettlement center, before being settled in communities with support from approved sponsors. Harry spoke with Manager at the Centre Qemajl Murati to find out a little bit more about the welcoming of Refugees to NZ.
After speaking with Qemajl, Harry wanted to find out more about the issues faced by refugees once they leave the center. One of the organisations that works to support asylum seekers and refugees is The Refugee Council of New Zealand (RCNZ) whose purpose is to provide advice, information and assistance, and promote a strategic response to the needs of refugees and asylum seekers. Harry spoke with president of the Council Dr Arif Saeid to unpack some of the issues refugees in NZ are facing once resettled.
Today the Helen Clark Foundation released a poll which found 69 percent of respondents would prefer legalisation or decriminalisation of cannabis over total criminalisation. Lyric spoke with Snadra Murray from Make It Legal NZ about these figures, fears around cannabis corporate harm, and more.
