Ali Mau hosts Table Talk Tuesday 26 April – Cannabis: Beyond Prohibition
Table Talk returns to Ika with a new partner – 2016 Canon Media Awards Finalist for “Website of the Year”, The Spinoff, a fabulous guest host and a cast of experts on the topic of Cannabis: Beyond Prohibition. Join Ali Mau on Tuesday 26 April, with Russell Brown, Dr Chris Wilkins and MP Kevin Hague talking about the politics and policy of cannabis law reform. This year Helen Kelly and the widows of Paul Holmes and Martin Crowe have brought the illegal use of cannabis for symptom relief into the spotlight. Next week the UN General Assembly holds a special session on Drugs – and Russell Brown will have been there. Book now for a delicious dinner from our a la carte menu and join the conversation.
This Wednesday we host the third and final lunchtime lecture in our Ikanomics series, featuring Professor Jane Kelsey. It’s almost booked out so be quick if you want one of the last few places. We’ve been organising the next series. Check out “Cooler together” for three lectures on climate change and climate action.
Then on May 17 our Ika Salon guest, Charmaine Pountney, will reflect on The Eighties – the decade that history is fast forgetting. Follow Charmaine’s personal, professional and political journey as Principal of Auckland Girls Grammar School in through a decade that changed this town forever.
We are up for a blockbuster month of Food for Thought – and of just great food enjoyed with friends. Come for dinner any time Monday-Saturday, treat Mum to the bounty of sea and land at our Mothers Day lunch. Discover some surprises from the autumn garden.
