09:05 Councils picking up the slack for cops say mayors

18 local councils are complaining they are being left to pick up the slack from police cutbacks. The Hastings Mayor and head of Local Government New Zealand, Lawrence Yule, says local police have told him they haven't had a funding increase in five years which has forced them to consolidate their focus on more serious crimes. Nine to Noon speaks to Lawrence Yule, as well as Roly Ellis, the Mayor of Tararua District and Police deputy commissioner Grant Nicholls.

There is no public funding for autoinjectors which deliver adrenaline in a single stab into muscle and the cost of 150 to 200 dollars is a significant barrier for many people who need them to have them, especially because they only have a shelf-life of 18 months from time of manufacture. Allergy New Zealand's chief executive is Mark Dixon.

Into The East are a duo from Invercargill. They are Liv McBride and Graeme Woller, both of whom sing, write songs and play a myriad of musical instruments. Best of all, their voice blend beautifully when they sing harmonies. Their first album, Fight From The Inside, was release in 2013 and was nominated for a Tui for New Zealand Folk Album of the year. Now they are back with How To Turn A Blind Eye, their stellar-sounding second album. But only briefly…they played their last show ever this week.
