Justice Minister Kiritapu Allan has recently announced that she plans to reform New Zealand hate speech laws before next year's general election. 

This comes after a royal commission report stemming from the christchurch terror attacks stated that  New Zealand does not "provide a workable mechanism to deal with hate speech".

Amnesty International Aotearoa has called for stronger laws covering digital hate speech and a widening of which groups are covered.

However, the opposition has opposed these calls, with the ACT party stating they would overturn the changes if they went into power. 

Liam spoke to Lisa Woods from Amnesty NZ about the laws, first asking for an overview of the current hate speech laws.

The 2022 United Nations Climate Change Conference, commonly known as COP27 is soon set to take place in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt. 

This is the first COP27 to take place since Russia invaded Ukraine, which has brought world tensions to their brink and seen focus on climate legislation delayed. 

That being said, action on the climate crisis remains important - in Europe alone the temperature is rising at .5 degrees celsius per decade according to the World Meteorological Organisation. 

To learn more about what this conference will look like, Liam spoke to Bronwyn Hayward, a political science professor at the University of Canterbury.
