National has released a plan to crack down on anti-social state tenants. In a policy titled 'Remind, Remedy, Remove' National's Simon Bridges says "there are people in houses who are intimidating, who are peddling drugs, who won't change their ways." The party's plan is that a housing tenant would be given a warning when there's bad behaviour. Lieutenant Colonel Ian Hutson of the Salvation Army joins the discussion. Picture and personal details of Department of Conservation staff are being shared online by those opposed to 1080. Incidents that have been disclosed by DOC paint a picture of some protesters who will stop at nothing to halt use of the substance. Kevin Hague from Forest and Bird joins the discussion. Climate activist Greta Thunberg posted a photo of herself sitting on the floor of a Deutsche Bahn train surrounded by lots of bags, saying she was traveling on overcrowded trains through Germany. But Deutchse Ban sugested that she might not have spent the whole time sitting on the floor, saying in a statement that Thunberg did have a seat in first class that other members of her team were already sitting in first class.
