Matthew Dallas - Regional Editor for Stuff joins us to discuss some of the stories coming out of Manawatū over the past couple of weeks including a lack of information from the Ministry of Education regarding the number of teachers stood down due to vaccine hesitancy. We also look at the fatal crash at Kuku (south of Levin) and the community's support for motorists delayed for hours as a result, Paul O'Brien's op ed supporting the 'Palmy' branding rolled out by PNCC, public surgeries taking place in Crest private hospital and the Intercity buses stopping in Feilding.
