This week on the Tuesday Wire, Allan Blackman joined Casper and Christina in studio to talk science news for the Dear Science segment.

Casper spoke to Dr Shane Reti from the National party, as he does each week, this time discussing the possibility of expelling the Russian ambassador to New Zealand.

To kick off Mental Health Awareness Week, Christina spoke to Netsafe’s Youth Ambassador Andre Fa’aoso about their campaign with Bodyright to promote body positivity.

And Casper had a chat with Catherine Delahunty, the chair of the Coromandel Watchdog of Hauraki, about mining on conservation land.
