Stewart's back and this week he's joined by Producer Bronnie in the bFM studio.
This week on the show:
Dr Bill O’Connor from the NZ Dental Association talks to Stewart Sowman-Lund about our quite shocking rates of child oral health problems.
Then, Bronnie talks to Letitia O’Dwyer of the Asthma and Respiratory Foundation NZ about her views on the government’s “Vaping facts” website.
After that, Professor Jon Waters from the University of Otago tells Bronnie about how by using sea kelp, he hopes to identify locations at risk of earthquakes.
Finally - Neighbourhood Watch is back for another week… Our correspondent Zoe catches Stewart up on all the latest Aussie news.
All that plus a flood of listener texts on vaping and fluoride. It's The Thursday Wire!
Skycity Chairman Rob Cambell is currently attending a “Wellbeing at Work” conference to talk with heads of business about the importance of fair and transparent practices for pay, performance management and promotion. Meanwhile outside the conference, Skycity workers will be picketing his talk over unfair wages for long and unsociable hours. Workers have gone on strike for the past month over not receiving time and a half pay for working late and on weekends. SEA-Unite Skycity Union Convenor Joe Carolan highlighted the two and a half thousand dollar entry fee to the conference, stating that “it's pretty safe to say there won’t be any low paid workers views expressed inside.” William Boyd spoke with Joe about the protest and workers pay troubles. Will started off by asking him why workers were picketing the conference.
