This week on The Wire for Rāmere, Friday:

Liam had a korero with the University of Canterbury's Bronwyn Hayward about the upcoming COP27 summit 

He also had my my first regular chat with Waitemata and gulf councillor Mike Lee for City Counselling

He also spoke to Lisa Woods from Amnesty Aotearoa about reforming hate speech laws in New Zealand.

While David spoke to Robert Patman from Otago University about the US midterm elections.

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.

The recent local elections have resulted in Michael Lee becoming the new councillor for Waitemata and Gulf. 

Lee has previously held the position before losing in 2019, now coming back in the midst of a wave of new councillors. 

Liam had a chat with him for our City Counselling segment, to learn more about his run, his goals for the future, and helicopters. 

Three quarters of Hans Pucket, Callum, Callum and Jonathan come into the studio to celebrate the release of the band's highly awaited album No Drama! Whakarongo mai nei and catch them at The Tuning Fork on Sunday alongside SKILA and Power Nap!
