Green Party MP Kahurangi Carter has put forward a bill to parliament that would remove any chance for prosecution of someone who needs medical assistance for a drug overdose.
The bill has passed through its first reading, with support from the Greens, Labour, ACT, and Te Pāti Māori. It is now set to go to select committee for consultation.
To discuss why the bill has come about and what kind of impacts it could have on drug safety in Aotearoa, News Director Castor spoke to executive director of the NZ Drug Foundation, Sarah Helm.
For City Counselling this week, Wire Host Caeden spoke to Councillor Julie Fairey on Mayor Wayne Brown’s controversial comment towards an RNZ staff member, the latest statistics on illegal dumping in Auckland, and alternative names for the City Rail Link.
News Director Castor spoke to Executive Director of the New Zealand Drug Foundation, Sarah Helm, about a new bill that would remove the possibility of prosecution for those looking for medical support after an overdose.
For our weekly catch-up with the Labour Party, Producer Pranuja spoke with Shanan Halbert about proposed changes to Te Tiriti, the NZ–India Free Trade Agreement, and rising anti-Indian sentiment in New Zealand.
She also spoke with World Vision New Zealand National Director TJ Grant about the first reading of the Modern Slavery Bill.
And she spoke with Dr Peter Wills about punctuated equilibrium, the origins of genetic code, and why this research is gaining international attention.
Silas McClintock joins Emma Gleason to discuss his new Silas Futura album Life Begins After Despairand the road to get there, logging off, and how he found a sense of community in taonga pūoro. For those looking to learn more about it, Silas recommends this Facebook group as a good place to start.
The Modern Slavery Bill has passed its first reading in Parliament with strong cross-party support. The Bill would introduce mandatory reporting for large businesses, requiring them to publish annual statements on modern slavery risks in their operations and supply chains.
World Vision says the Bill is an important step in strengthening New Zealand’s response to child labour, human trafficking, and exploitation.
Producer Pranuja spoke with World Vision New Zealand’s National Director TJ Grant about what the Bill would change, how modern slavery can end up in everyday products, and what happens next at the select committee.
