On the Monday Wire today...

Louis spoke to comparative linguist Dr. Martine Robbeets about the origins of Transeurasian languages and DOC's Aaron Flemming about progress on the Hump Ridge Track.

Charlie talked with Shine's Holly Carrington about family violence in light of a new report and the Minister for Conservation, Kiri Allen, about the new marine mammal sanctuary in the Bay of Islands. 

Finally, Christina was joined by Glenda Fryer, as she finished her six-week segment with the Waitemata Local Board. 

Enjoy.
