As Auckland's flooding has further exposed the city's infrastructure issues, Pattrick talks to Kathryn about how to fund and how much to fund stormwater infrastructure.

Also, the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment, Simon Upton, has written to Energy Minister, Megan Woods warning that the Government's energy strategy timetable is far too slow.

And Pattrick discusses an aspect of the national CO2 shortage that has had very little attention.
