Last week, the New South Wales state government amended the Public Health Act and there are concerns about the consequences for NSW’s LGBTIA community. Ruby and Ian spoke to HIV activist Nic Holas, about his concerns with some of the changes, and what they could mean.

They also speak with to MP Louisa Wall, of the New Zealand Labor party. Ms Wall presented the private member’s bill that legalised Marriage Equality in New Zealand in 2013.

We talked about Marriage Equality and also the upcoming New Zealand Election.
