12:15 Midwifery College (TBA)

In the wake of a case where a New Zealand woman gave birth to an HIV positive baby, the Ministry of Health has decided to introduce blanket, but voluntary, testing of expectant mothers for HIV. While this common in most countries it hasn’t been the policy here. The midwifery college has come out saying it isn’t sure that midwives have the expertise or the recourses for such testing. If we’re lucky, we’ll have someone from the college at 12:15.

The Green MP wants Section 59 removed from the Crimes Act. This would remove the defence of reasonable force in child abuse cases. The Greens and the Prime Minister say this will mean that the police will have discretion in prosecuting cases and those who genuinely beating their children will not be able to use the defence that they were disciplining their children.

12:45 Jonathon Milne

It’s another news flash from our man in Wellington Jonathon Milne.
