This week on the Tuesday Wire with Casper Dr Allan Blackman came into the studio to talk science news for our Dear Science segment.
Casper spoke to Dr Shane Reti from the National party, as he does each week, this time discussing the government dropping the traffic light framework, as well as political responses to the death of Queen Elizabeth II
He also had a chat with Labour MP Rachel Boyack about her Plain Language member’s bill which is now going before parliament.
Over the course of this week 95bFM is airing a number of interviews Casper conducted with several of Auckland’s mayoral candidates, and this show's interview was with Ted Johnston.
Yesterday the government announced the scrapping of the traffic light covid-19 protection framework, as well as the easing of many key restrictions.
Mask wearing will now no longer be required outside of healthcare settings, household contacts don’t need to isolate and all vaccine mandates will cease at the end of the month.
In the same announcement the government dedicated a one-off public holiday to honour the passing of the late Queen Elizabeth II.
For Casper's regular interview with National MP Dr Shane Reti they spoke about this announcement and how it has been received by the National party.
Casper started off by asking him how he felt about the announced changes and whether there is anything he would have done differently.
