Last week, the government announced that planned developments to Dunedin’s hospital may exceed the planned budget of $1.88 billion, and reach as much as $3 billion. As such, ministers Chris Bishop and Shane Reti announced that the plans may require reductions or an extended timeframe.
The announcement was met with mass opposition both on social media and in public, with some 35,000 protestors turning out on the streets of Dunedin on Saturday to march against the change.
Wire host Castor spoke to the Mayor of Dunedin, Jules Radich, about the state of public health in Dunedin, the necessity of upgrades, and how the public response may impact the government’s future decision-making.
For Dear Science this week, our expert Professor Allan Blackman chatted with us about potentially debunked neuroscience findings, the Franklin expedition, and cancer medication thalidomide.
Our weekly catchup with the National party was off this week, as our regular MP Katie Nimon was away.
Wire host Castor spoke to the Mayor of Dunedin, Jules Radich, about the state of health in Dunedin and how the hospital cuts have been received.

And on the Green Desk this week, reporter Jack Marshall spoke to Principal Scientist from Manaaki Whenua, Linda Lilburne, about changing crops due to climate change.

We all need to eat, but climate change is changing the world in which food grows. So what will a warmer climate mean for agriculture? This week on the Green Desk reporter Jack Marshall speaks with Principal Scientist Linda Lilburne, from Manaaki Whenua - Land Care Research.
