On Thursday the 19th September, the Ministry of Justice opened consultation on changing jury trials to improve flexibility and increase thresholds for when individuals can opt to use a jury trial.

The proposed changes would allow individuals to opt for jury trials up to and until their case review hearing, and increase the required seriousness for offences before a jury trial can be used.

Producer Josef spoke to Associate Professor of Evidence and Criminal Procedure at the University of Auckland, Scott Optican, about jury trials, and the balancing of interests that comes with setting jury trial procedures.

Jim White spoke to Jonny about the self-titled debut album from The Hard Quartet, released last Friday as well as how the supergroup formed and an exciting tour planned for next year. Whakarongo mai nei ~

Whakarongo mai!

A total of 149 projects have been selected for fast tracking through the government's new Fast-track Approvals Bill.

There’s a variety of projects on the list, in sectors including farming, infrastructure, energy, and mining. 

The fast track approvals bill went through public consultation without a public release of the list of projects. 

This meant the public didn’t have specific details when submitting on the bill. 

Now the 149 projects on the list have been revealed, a number of environmental concerns have arisen over projects that were successfully opposed in the past. 

Forest and Birds Richard Capie calls this an assault on Aotearoa’s democracy. 

Producer Evie spoke to Capie about the list of projects and Forest and Birds concerns around them.

The data of New Zealand's rainbow community has, for the first time, been incorporated as a part of the country’s 2023 Census.

This is a huge win for the country’s LGBTQIA+ community, as queer people have been advocating for decades for their inclusion in Census data, which would in turn help aid in better resourcing for the country's rainbow community.

News and Editorial Director and Monday Wire Host, Joel, spoke to the Workplace Services Development Lead at InsideOUT Kōaro, a queer national charity group, Rosie Leadbitter, about the data, and what this means for New Zealand’s queer population moving forward.
