Welcome to Wire with your host Zoë Larsen Cumming and Aneeka Moheed. This week 95bFM's election coverage theme is Human Issues. With that in mind, on the show we have: 

Zoë's weekly chat with the Green Party co-leader James Shaw on the the minor parties leader's debate, a possible Minister For Mental Health, the wealth tax, violence against women and children and his final thoughts before the election this Saturday! 

Then, Zoë interviews Dr. Debbie Hager from the school of population health and the University of Auckland who is speaking on behalf on the Coalition for the Safety of Women and Children about New Zealand's violence against women record. 

Then, Aneeka brings a report on period poverty in New Zealand and interviews Dr Terry Flemming, one of the researchers in a Youth19 survey that collected data around Period Poverty in schools, and Miranda Hitchings, the co-founder of DignityNZ. 

Finally, Zoë interviews Green MP Golriz Gharaman on how to call out countries commiting human rights abuses without exacerbating xenophobia in New Zealand.
