The Wire with Joel

It's another packed show on the Thursday Wire with Stewart Sowman-Lund, and producers Liv and Grace. This week:

• Media commentator Duncan Grieve talks to Stewart about Facebook - why is their live streaming platform still available after the Christchurch mosque attacks almost two weeks ago?
• After that, Labour MP Andrew Little joins Stewart for their weekly catch up. Today they're talking security concerns.
• Then, Liv talk to commentator Rod Oram about the trucking industry’s role in transitioning to a low carbon economy.
• Grace talks to Generation Zero about alternative fare options for Auckland’s public transport
• Finally, Grace speaks to Ellie Kraft from the Healthy streets alliance auckland about making Auckland’s streets safer and more inclusive

All that plus another illuminating edition of Poll Position, some riveting chat and some fascinating texters. 

Grace Speaks to Leroy Beckett, Auckland director of Generation Zero, about their report on ways to make Auckland Transport more fair. They also discuss ways to encourage more Aucklanders to use public transport.

Rosabel Tan is the director of the Pantograph Punch, which is an online arts and culture journal. They focus specifically on showcasing emerging writers, and supporting writers who may not be heard in the mainstream, as well as giving those writers the opportunity to dig a little deeper with the space they are given to write. Recently the Pantograph Punch hosted a number of talks with the Auckland Arts Festival dealing with some political and social issues that are currently affecting Aotearoa. Lillian Hanly spoke with Rosabel to find out more but we started by talking about the importance of long form journalism.

Tuesday Wire host Oscar talks to Chief censor David Shanks about his decision to make the manifesto of Christchurch's white supremacist terrorist illegal to possess or share.
