7:12 Looking after Stranded Migrant Workers and Tourists on Waiheke Island.

A Budgeting service on Waiheke Island is keeping its migrant workers going with help from civil defence until they're allowed to work again. Almost 250 migrants were on the island when lockdown began - they have been getting food parcels from the Waiheke Budgeting Service and the budgeting service wants the Government to include them in the emergency benefit category.

Amelia Lawley, the service's manager joins us.

Episode 7 - New planes, new rules.

Ramping up Spitfire production requires another new factory. Bigger, better, full of cutting-edge machinery and the best workers in the business. But it's a catastrophe - one that nearly costs Britain dearly.
