The Ministry of Justice released a report this morning about barriers to the progression of sexual violence cases through the criminal justice system. Among other things, the report found only 31% of  sexual violence crimes reported to the Police resulted in a perpetrator being charged. 11% resulted in a conviction and just 6% in a prison sentence. Wire producer Bronwyn Wilde spoke to Jan Logie, the Parliamentary Under-Secretary for the Minister of Justice (Sexual and Domestic Violence Issues) about the issues raised by the findings. Logie began by talking about the attrition of cases progressing through the system. If you or someone you know is affected by sexual violence, Safe to Talk is a 24 hour free helpline. You can call them on 0800 044 334, text on 4334, or visit their website at safetotalk.nz.

It's a spooky, Halloween-edition of The Thursday Wire today! And by that we mean Brexit's been delayed.. again. 

On today's show:

  • Mary-Margaret speaks to academic Neal Curtis about Twitter banning political advertising.
  • Then, Andrew Little is back for his weekly chat. Today, an update on the gun buyback, a response to National’s welfare announcements, and should the government ban conversion therapy. Spoiler, yes. 
  • Plus, for International Desk: Brexit has been delayed again and the UK is going to the polls… Justin gives you all the information you need.
  • Then, Mary-Margaret talks to Emmy Rakete about the Prisoner Correspondence Network
  • And finally, Neighbourhood Watch… Why Aussies might soon need to use facial recognition to watch online pornography.

All that plus poll position, and why do all our listeners seem to be in a Midsommer-esque cult?

Join host Stewart Sowman-Lund for the Thursday Wire!
