On the Wire today, Dear Science's Allan Blackman discusses a trojan-horse cancer treatment without drugs, electricity-exhaling bacteria, and the dangers of eating too much licorice.  

Bronwyn speaks to NZFirst’s Tracey Martin about the Department of Internal Affairs' use of NeoFace facial recognition technology. 

This week's topic for election coverage is the Environment, so Minister Martin also talks about aquaculture and the billion trees programme. Felix brings us a report comparing the different parties’ climate policies, and Bronwyn reports on feral cats by speaking to Predator Free’s Jessi Morgan and her very own grandad, Alan Wilde.
