The Wire with Caeden

On The Wire today!

Lillian starts the show by acknowledging the passing of Te Wharehuia Milroy. 

For Dear Science we talk about the 1 million species nearly extinct due to human actions, the T-Rex's cousin and mind altering drugs from 1000 years ago.

Lillian touches on the two big announcements made by the government today on the Zero Carbon Bill and the 6 principles which will guide the government in responding to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into historical abuse in state care and in the care of faith-based institutions.

Sherry gives us Part 1 of a report on her visit to the largest landfill in South-East Asia, Bantar Gebang.

Tania Sawicki-Mead from Just Speak tells us about their event next week where they hope to get everyday people talking about transformational change in the justice system. 

And finally, Episode 6 Part 2 of Economic Anxiety with Rod Oram where Lillian asks about the governments commitments to wellbeing and the environment. 

On Wednesday the 8th May the government made two big announcements. Firstly the details of the Climate Change Response (Zero Carbon) Amendment Bill. And secondly, the six principles the government has agreed on to guide how government agencies and the Crown responds to the Royal Commission of Inquiry into historical abuse in state care and in the care of faith-based institutions.

Lillian Hanly breaks these down a little. 

On Dear Science with AUT’s Marcus Jones we talk about the report released yesterday showing a million species are being driven to extinction, we talk about the T-Rex’s relatives and very very old mind altering drugs.
