A modelling study from the University of Otago has found that increasing alcohol taxes, reducing its availability, and banning marketing would result in significant health gains for New Zealanders.
To find out more about these health gains and what policies could be implemented to reduce alcohol harm, Arno spoke to Dr Anja Mizdrak, a senior research fellow at the Department of Public Health at the University of Otago Wellington.
Arno started our interview by asking what the purpose of the study was.
Newly released data has shown eight of ten of the warmest years in recorded NZ history have been in the last decade. Among other freak weather events this year, concerns are raising about climate change and the effect we are having on our environment.
To find out more, Arno spoke to Jason Attewell, General Manager of Economic and Environmental Insights and Statistics at Stats NZ.
Arno started our interview by asking how long climate data has been recorded for.
