The Government's announced it's appointing a Crown Observer to Wellington City Council. 

It comes after the council's been forced to re-write its Long Term plan, after reversing its decision to sell its shares in Wellington Airport. 

ZB Senior Political Editor Barry Soper told Matt Heath and Tyler Adams that the Observer will report back to the Simeon Brown, and if the Government needs to take further action, it will based on the Observer’s reports.  

He said that the problem seems to be that Mayor Tory Whanau and her lot don’t seem to understand financing, and so they’ve got to be shown how to do it.

Weight-loss drugs have seen a surge in popularity in recent years - but there's still common misconceptions about what they can do for people.

Drugs like Ozempic, which isn’t available in New Zealand, were developed to treat diabetes but after clinical trials, the drugs were found to aid weight-loss.

Bariatric specialist Dr Richard Barbor explains these drugs can help people with weight-loss - but they're not a 'magic pill' for the obesity epidemic.

"It's overhyped, it's oversold - there's a lot of common misinformation out there around it. I mean, there's no doubt that it's revolutionary... but Ozempic itself is not that great at helping people lose weight."
