Today on the show we are joined by National MP Simon Bridges who talks us through all the drama at the opening of our 52nd Government. Lachlan speaks with Steven Winter from Auckland University Politics Department on the week’s events in the house. We are then joined by Dr Liam Martin from the school of cultural and social studies at the University of Victoria, talking about the developments at Waikeria Prison, and Harry speaks with Professor John Hewson on his thoughts that the current global political economic scene is riskier and more unpredictable than any other time since the late 1960s, ahead of his speech at the University of Auckland tomorrow night. Finaly Ben takes us back to this day in history in 1989 when the Berlin Wall met its demise.
Up first on this week's Wire, Jemima chats to National party leader Simon Bridges about a number of issues including parliamentary questions and oil exploration. Then, Ben brings us neutral corner on Trump organisations being subpoenaed. Andrew LIttle joins Lachlan for their weekly chat and this week they discuss Waikeria prison, the year and a day rule and his trip to Switzerland to attend the Human Rights Council. Our Wire Worry week returns and this week we’re looking at smoking. Jemima discusses vaping and whether it is the new smoking with Massey Lecturer Dr. Penny Truman. Finally This Day in History looks at Ethiopia becoming a republic in 1975.
While the Health Select Committee is finalising its report on the Medicinal Cannabis Government Bill as we speak, the National Party has announced its intention to drop its support, instead putting a member’s bill in the ballot under MP Shane Reti’s name. National Party Leader Simon Bridges said he would not support an “un thought-through bill”, even though the opposition stood for the government bill in its first reading.
I talked to the Chris Fowlie, the spokesperson of the National Organisation for the Reform of Marijuana Laws, and asked whether he was surprised by National’s support withdrawal, and what it meant for the future.
Newshub had their first political poll of the year last night. It showed National falling well below Labour, and brought bad news for Simon Bridges. But, was it hyped just a bit too much? Stewart talks about the science of TV political polls with The Spinoff’s Duncan Grieve.
Then, we’re back to Europe to chat to our correspondent Justin Wong in Paris. This week, Theresa May’s been in Brussels, and why do France and Italy hate each other?
