This week on the Friday Wire, Bronwyn fills in for Ayana.

Producer Noah Ferguson-Dudding speaks to National MP Christopher Luxon about Parliament declaring human rights abuses in China and plans for the national rail system. He then talks to Stephen Noakes, Director of the China Studies Centre at the University of Auckland, more broadly about New Zealand’s relationship with China.

In our regular segment with Auckland Council, Bronwyn chats to Pippa Coom about a range of environmental projects around the city.

Lastly, Bronwyn plays an interview with Mark Pascall about the Wellbeing Protocol, a project to empower communities through blockchain technology.
