Arno spoke to Dr Emily Harvey, a researcher from the University of Auckland who created scientific models to see what would happen if the requirement was removed or not closely followed by most people.
Arno started off by asking what the scope of the research conducted was.

Recent advice to the government suggested that the cost of international carbon credits to meet New Zealand's climate obligations might be as high as $23.7 billion dollars by 2030. Alex talked to climate scientist Kevin Trenberth about how carbon credits work (do they work?) and how else one might spend the money to mitigate and prepare New Zealand for the climate impacts ahead.
Since Covid there has been a bus driver shortage leading to around 1000 buses being cancelled every day. Alex talked to Dennis Maga, the General Secretary of First Union about the challenge to recruit drivers. Pay is part of the problem but so are working conditions. Maga describes the realities of doing split shifts, the impact on health and family life, and how bus drivers feel a duty of care for their passengers even when they are subjected to verbal and, occasionally, physical abuse.
