Story
An original member of the Polynesian Panthers says she's not surprised the dawn raid tactic is still being used. Immigration New Zealand's confirmed it has had eighteen interactions during night-time hours in the past ten months. That's despite the Government apologising two years ago for the infamous dawn raids in the 1970s. Melani Anae says this aligns with what she's been hearing. "Well, I've heard accounts from various sources that dawn raids had been going on- they haven't stopped actually since the 1970s." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is this acceptable, especially after the public apology from two years ago? The Government has increased the Ute Tax in a bid to get more drivers into EVs.

Immigration officials aren't committing to an all-out ban on out-of-hours compliance visits to suspected overstayers. Authors of an independent review of Dawn Raids-style visits say the Government should consider banning or restricting the practice. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's chief executive says such visits are very rare. But Carolyn Tremain says they're looking at the report's recommendations. "And we'll be updating our standard procedures and operating procedures and guidelines for our compliance officers." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy ...

Julia Worthing is a mechanic, working in the Fiction Department at the Ministry of Truth. It’s 1984, and Britain (now called Airstrip One) has long been absorbed into the larger trans-Atlantic nation of Oceania. Oceania has been at war for as long as anyone can remember, and is ruled by an ultra-totalitarian Party, whose leader is a quasi-mythical figure called Big Brother. In short, everything about this world is as it is in Orwell’s 1984.

Story
Banned Books explores why some of the world's most important literary classics and seminal non-fiction titles were once deemed too controversial for the public—whether for challenging racial or sexual norms, satirizing public figures, or simply being deemed unfit for young audiences. From the banning of All Quiet on the Western Front and the repeated suppression of On the Origin of the Species, to the uproar provoked by Lady Chatterley's Lover, entries offer a fascinating chronological account of censorship.

Melody is not like most people. She cannot walk or talk, but she has a photographic memory; she can remember every detail of everything she has ever experienced. She is smarter than most of the adults who try to diagnose her and smarter than her classmates in her integrated classroom - the very same classmates who dismiss her as mentally challenged because she cannot tell them otherwise. But Melody refuses to be defined by cerebral palsy.

Story
Long before they became famous writers, Truman Capote (In Cold Blood) and Harper Lee (To Kill a Mockingbird) were childhood friends in Monroeville, Alabama. This fictionalized account of their time together opens at the beginning of the Great Depression, when Tru is seven and Nelle is six. They love playing pirates, but they like playing Sherlock and Watson-style detectives even more. It’s their pursuit of a case of drugstore theft that lands the daring duo in real trouble. Humor and heartache intermingle in this lively look at two budding writers in the 1930s South.

Paris, 1774. At the tender age of eighteen, Marie Antoinette ascends to the French throne alongside her husband, Louis XVI. But behind the extravagance of the young queen's elaborate silk gowns and dizzyingly high coiffures, she harbors deeper fears for her future and that of the Bourbon dynasty. From the early growing pains of marriage to the joy of conceiving a child, from her passion for Swedish military attache Axel von Fersen to the devastating Affair of the Diamond Necklace, Marie Antoinette tries to rise above the gossip and rivalries that encircle her.
