Golriz Ghahraman - A Voice for Refugees

This podcast was started with the aim of creating non-biased political conversation. Host Steve Oehley aims to remain neutral, but does challenge guests on certain issues.

This month we have Green MP, Golriz Ghahraman. She's the first refugee to be elected into government. Steve talks to her about early life in Iran and how she and her family settled into New Zealand.

We talk a bit about her career and then discuss immigrants and refugees settling into New Zealand, including whether they should assimilate into New Zealand culture or integrate.

We also briefly discuss religion in schools and whether or not the Hijab has a place in New Zealand.
