The New Zealand Bar Association came out supporting the semi-automatic firearm ban. Council member of the association Josh McBride says what is needed now is immediate changes to the underlying legislation to ensure that all military specification assault rifles are prohibited, irrespective of their configuration or aesthetics. Josh has prepared a discussion paper and submission to the Government on behalf of the bar association saying assault rifles have no legitimate civilian use. Josh believes they should never have been allowed in to NZ. He believes previous legislation and regulations failed to adequately restrict the importation and sale of these types of rifles and ammunition, ones which are characterised by the use of intermediate cartridges to reduce recoil and enable rapid firing. Gautami Sithambaram spoke with Josh to find out more and started by asking how these semi-automatic weapons came to be in NZ in the first place.

3 hours of sweltering, saucey tunes for your little taringa's. We also fumbled around on the XDJ's for a brief mix in the middle of the show and then keep the energy rolling throughout.
A huge thank you to Aneeka for absolutely blowing the doors down last week on the show while I was answering questions in a test booklet.
As always see you next thursday.
Spotify playlist attatched for your listening pleasure. 💚
Another Thursday rolls on by and Jenn is back on her bullshit ;)

Do you fancy yourself a bit of cocktail conisseur? Does the thought of Don Draper rolling up his perfect sleeves to concoct an old fashioned make you salivate? Do you look at that creepy, bowtied bartender in the Shining and think "Yes. Mess me the feck UP, Lloyd!" Well thank god for Liquor King and Jonny and Big Hungry, because Cocktail Corner is gonna shake you, stir you, and roll you out the door into your liquor dreams. Cool.
