Thousands of high school students gathered around the country in the second climate strike, calling for more action from the government to combat climate change. We speak to one of the organisers, Luke Wijohn from Western Springs College. Hannah Tamaki has been doing media interviews about the new political party stemming from the Destiny Church run by her husband Brian and herself - but has not given any clear details of what the parties policies will be. Religious historian, peter Lineham wrote a book about the rise of Brian Tamaki and joins us to talk about what he knows about the power couple behind Coalition New Zealand. Public Health Professor, Michael Baker says New Zealanders are too relaxed about the flu, whihc he says is among our most lethal infectious diseases, killing around 500 people a year.
