Today we are going to hear from the Epidemic Response Committee who is hearing from a range of media outlets in terms of how hard the industry has been hit by the Covid19 pandemic. First though, some context. Recent weeks have seen New Zealand’s media suffer a lot of closures and downscaling, with Bauer Media announcing its closure earlier this month and NZME’s recent announcement of job cuts. Felix takes a look at the current state of our media and what it could mean for the future.
On Dear Science with Allan Blackman we talk about quantum computers, ancient recipes and the natural colour blue, and faster degrading plastic.
We have our regular Epidemic Response Committee notes and today the committee is hearing from the health sector about some of the vulnerabilities that come from these industries.
We have NZ First’s Fletcher Tabuteau on the show today speaking about moving to level 3, contact tracing, an injection of cash into the regions and the announcement from the SFO that their decision regarding NZ First’s political donations will be out before the election.
And, given that SFO decision will be out before the election, Felix takes a look back at the reports which came out at the end of last year outlining the scandal that hit NZ First regarding their donations process.
Sherry Zhang has her weekly chat with Green Party Co-leader James Shaw, on criticisms brought up by the Human Rights Commision on the goverment's COVID-19 response and also on changes to the Resource Management Act.

Finally, Sherry speaks to Massive Theatre Company's director Sam scott on how theatre is adapting during rāhui. and a snippet from one of their physical theatre workshops on zoom.
We have NZ First back on the show this week, but Fletcher Tabuteau was unavailable, Mark Patterson was keen to speak with us though. He is the party’s agricultural and primary industry spokesperson and touches on biosecurity too. We spoke about governmental reviews following the Covid-19 crisis, the Budget announcements and the latest poll numbers, but Lillian started by asking whether he had much to do in his responsibilities with keeping our imports and exports moving early on in the Covid-19 lockdown.
In the run in to the election, we decided to take a look into healthy homes. It is very well to call for healthy homes, but what actually makes a home healthy?
We heard that researchers from the University of Auckland were questioning the accuracy of some ‘green certified’ rating tools used by the building industry to measure the warmth and efficiency of New Zealand houses, after independent research failed to verify their claims.
With that in mind we were joined by Rochelle Ade, one of the lead researchers behind the claim to find out more about healthy homes.
Late last week the AUT Gambling and Addictions Research Centre, Hapai Te Hauora Tapui, The Salvation Army, and The Problem Gambling Foundation announced their support for three new global gambling guidelines. The guidelines aim to provide straightforward quantitative limits for people of legal gambling age who want to make more informed choices about their gambling.
To reduce gambling harm, these three guidelines must be followed -
HOW MUCH? Gamble no more than one percent of household income per month.
HOW OFTEN? Gamble no more than four days per month.
HOW MANY? Gamble regularly on no more than two types of gambling or games.
News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston speaks to Associate Professor and Director of the Gambling and Addictions Research Centre at AUT Maria Bellringer, who was part of the research process that led to these guidelines. They discuss why global gambling guidelines are important, how they might be used in Aotearoa, and how receptive the gambling industry is to public health and regulatory advice on gambling habits.
