Midwives employed by District Health Boards have settled with the government over pay and conditions. Negotiations have been long winded, beginning in 2013 and going through a number of mediations, strikes action, and discussions. Salaries will go up by 17.5% next year, meaning newly trained midwives will make almost $60,000 a year. Lachlan spoke with Jill Ovens, Co Leader Industrial for MERAS, the midwives union in Aotearoa about the agreement.

ACT Party leader David Seymour has had a busy couple of weeks. Firstly, he has been the sole voice of opposition out of all 120 MPs to the government’s gun law reform legislation, which passed its final reading last night. He says it’s not because he’s against changes to our gun laws - but because he doesn’t think there has been enough time to accurately discuss the nuances of what is a very technical bill. But, Mr Seymour has also been in the media’s focus because of his End of Life Choice Bill. The Bill passed it’s first reading at the end of 2017, before going to select committee. Just this week, the justice select committee has reported back on the Bill, making only minor suggestions for how it should progress. Something which Mr Seymour has welcomed. Host Stewart Sowman-Lund spoke to David about both of these issues in some depth - and started by talking about guns. Is he really just against the parliamentary process that has seen this Bill become a law in less than two weeks?

It's The Wire with Stewart Sowman-Lund for another Thursday! This week it's just Stewart and producer Grace in studio - but that doesn't mean it's not a packed show. 

All of that plus another thrilling edition of Poll Position, why you should sleep with the windows open, and bFM listeners try to help Stewart with his feline problem. It's The Wire with Stewart and it's madness.
