A new non-government organisation, The Backbone Collective, has launched fighting the battle against domestic violence in New Zealand. The organisation gives a voice to women survivors of violence to help push change in the right direction. Using surveys gives the organisation a chance to hear what the women who have suffered or are suffering need in order to feel safe enough to speak out. 95bFM reporter, Tess Barnett, spoke to Deborah Mackenzie from The Backbone Collective about the state of domestic violence in New Zealand and what they believe is critical to bringing change.
In the wake of today’s sweeping executive order by US President Donald Trump to reverse efforts to address climate change and instead protect the oil, gas and coal industries, Greenpeace New Zealand is preparing to go and confront his agenda at sea.

Greenpeace New Zealand Executive Director Dr Russel Norman says Greenpeace will head out to sea for protest in the coming weeks. bFM reporter Ambrose O’Meagher speaks to Russel to find ouot more.
Earlier this year, Revenue Minister Judith Collins announced a planned crackdown on tax-dodging by multinational corporations. Under the plan, various loopholes are to be closed, in order to make it harder for untaxed money to be moved outside of New Zealand. However, there are plenty of other ways for people to reduce their tax bill, such as negative gearing, which went unmentioned by Minister Collins. To gain a greater understanding of what negative gearing is, producer Ben spoke to Deborah Russel, a senior lecturer on taxation for Massey University and electoral candidate for the Labour party.
