This week on the Wire, Dear Science's Allan Blackman talks the Nobel Prize in chemistry for the discovery of CRISPR, and kiwi scientist Roy Kerr. 

Our topic for election coverage this week is Human Issues, so Bronwyn speaks to NZ First’s Tracey Martin about the party’s Tertiary Policy and new early-intervention for at risk tamariki.  

Felix brings us a report on the different parties’ policies affecting young people.

And on a brand new legal segment called “approach the bench” Bronwyn speaks to Dr Jane Norton about both Greenpeace and Family First being granted charitable status.
