He also spoke to Yvonne Booysen from drug testing service Know Your Stuff and Splore Fesitval's Director John Minty on funding for drug testing at festivals.

He also talked to Fatima Imran and Tessa Guest, the presidents of Massey University's student association in Manawatu and Wellington, after the university's Massive student magazine feedback survey raised eyebrows for asking questions on censorship and editorial control.

An annual feedback survey for Massey University’s student magazine Massive has raised eyebrows on questions about censorship and editorial control.

Massey University has 10 student associations for students in Auckland, Manawatu, and Wellington, and they make up the Massey University Students’ Association Federation or MUSAF.

The survey by MUSAF asked students whether it is the right for student associations to censor magazine content, or whether the editor, MUSAF, or an individual student association should retain editorial control of the magazine.

Fatima Imran and Tessa Guest are the presidents of the Massey University Student Association in Manawatū and Wellington.  They spoke to Justin Wong.

The government has said $800,000 would be given to boost drug testing at festivals.

Justin spoke to testing provider Know Your Stuff's Yvonne Booyston and Splore Festival's Director John Minty about the move.

Two cases of Covid-19 have been detected in Christchurch, with one travelling from Auckland earlier this month and could be infectious in the community for up to two weeks.

The city remains at Alert Level 2.

Otago University epidemiologist Professor Michael Baker said earlier rapid antigen testing for departing passengers is needed to limit transmission out of Auckland.
