Last Friday Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith announced the new Chief of the Human Rights Commission.

As always, there will be disagreement over the appointment. Dr Stephen Rainbow brings broad experience to the task before him.

Controversy is no stranger. After an hour of discussion, you’ll have a good idea of Rainbow’s stance on some critical issues that, like it or not, influence the society in which we live.

We make comment on corporate involvement in social activism; for example, "diversity, equity and inclusion”, which has become a minefield for companies.

And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer.
