Today on The Birds The Bees and The Bugs, Care HQ nurses Nikki and Charlotte join Rosetta and Milly in the studio for a kōrero about all things itchy! They talk all things Pubic lice, bed bugs, and scabies. Whakarongo mai nei!

Thanks to Care HQ!

Tomorrow, we are set to see what could be the largest strike in last 40 years, as seperate unions representing nurses, teachers and many more come together to put pressure on the government to take their negotiations seriously. In total, it'll likely be around 100,000 kiwis pushing for better working conditions.

Frequent in their demands are requests for better pay that has been eroded by the inflation of the past few years, as well as safer staffing levels, as many professionals vacate the New Zealand workforce for better working conditions in Australia, leaving our hospitals, schools, and workplaces understaffed.

To discuss the upcoming Mega-Strike, Wednesday Wire Producer Manny spoke with Fleur Fitzsimons, the Natioal Secretary of the Public Service Association. 

The government is looking to introduce a raft of reforms to the driver licence system, officially called the Graduated Driver Licensing System. 

The government aims to make getting a full driver’s licence easier and cheaper for New Zealanders, which is why one of the proposed changes to the system includes scrapping the full licence test. 

However, the government is also calling for reduced eye exams for class one licence holders, saying repeated eye exams don’t have any significant benefit on safety. 

Producer Vihan spoke to the New Zealand Association of Optometrists (NZAO) President Hadyn Treanor about his views on the reduction of eye exams.

He also spoke to a couple of university students about the changes, and their thoughts on it.

Rosetta caught up with NYC House duo musclecars, ahead of their return to Aotearoa this month. You can catch them playing Resonate 03 alongside BBYFACEKILLA this Sunday October 26, presented by Music First and Darklight. Whakarongo mai nei!

AAAAHHH! It's spooky season and Chris Cudby is all alone in the studio on a rainy Auckland evening. What's that strange frequency eminating from the 95bFM studio? It's 100% New Zealand music! 

Thanks to NZ On Air Music!

For our weekly catchup w/ the Green Party, Wednesday Wire Host Max spoke with MP Ricardo Menendez March about the mega strike happening tomorrow, the Labour Party releasing their first major policy ahead of next year’s general election, and the government moving forward with their Roads of National Significance programme.

Max also spoke with Paul Taillon, a senior lecturer in US History from the University of Auckland, to discuss the recent court win by United States President Donald Trump in his attempts to deploy the national guard in democratic cities.

Producer Manny spoke with Fleur Fitzsimons, the National Secretary of the Public Service Association, to discuss the upcoming mega strikes and why so many unions are facing the same problem.

And Producer Vihan spoke to the President of the New Zealand Association of Optometrists, Hadyn Treanor, and a couple of university students about the government’s proposed changes to the driver licence system, and what the reduction of eye exams needed for class one license holders means for the future of New Zealand drivers.
