National has resurrected its "War on P" with a promise to fund an intensive treatment programme and 13 detox beds to reduce methamphetamine harm.

The party's drugs policy, launched by National leader Judith Collins in Hawke's Bay on Monday, includes a promised $50 million in contestable funding for community-based harm reduction programmes, and more drug dogs at airport and ports to stop drugs entering the country.

“We can either decide that we’re going to lose the war, or we’re going to decide to take it seriously,” Collins said.

“The use of this drug tears families apart, fuels violence, enriches criminals and destroys lives. We cannot tolerate the continued misery this drug causes, which leads to rising levels of violence and poverty, and widespread social harm.”

Poll: Is New World misleading customers with its price labels?

New World has found itself in hot water following claims it is misleading customers with its price labels.

Consumer NZ spokesperson Jessica Wilson said the chain was prominently displaying its “Clubcard price” as the main price, while the regular price was in much smaller font and easier to miss.

Until recently, checkout operators could scan a temporary Clubcard for customers without one, which would allow all shoppers to access the loyalty scheme’s discounts. But that has since been stopped.

A Foodstuffs spokeswoman said it had removed temporary Clubcards from checkout counters after “lots of communication” with customers about the loyalty programme.

The spokeswoman disagreed with Consumer NZ’s claims and said it failed to point out that other retailers offered loyalty programmes.

Hi everyone, PJ here, and this Saturday, community radio station East FM has a special guest coming to play live in the studio, while talking to us about his musical life deep down in the blues.

Darren Watson started out as frontman of the much-loved, dynamic rhythm and blues band Chicago Smoke Shop in the 1980s, and since going solo he’s put out six substantial albums that have been well-received on his home turf and internationally.

Darren Watson’s coming to play live at Auckland’s Wine Cellar (St Kevin’s Arcade, K’ Rd) on October 10, and his new album, Getting Sober For The End Of The World, is out on October 1.

With those exciting events on the horizon, Darren Watson’s coming to visit with us at East FM, this Saturday, September 12, from 3pm to 5pm.

On The She’ll Be Right on Saturdays Show, with me, PJ Taylor, we’ll talk about his career, the new album, the history of the blues, and if we’re really good, he’ll play live – because that’s what he does – entertains the masses, makes them think and delivers a good dose of reality.

On the new album, Watson has an important NZ work, a song in tribute to the memory of Ernie Abbott, who was tragically killed in the bombing of Trades Hall in 1984.

So please join us, with Darren Watson, our special guest on The She’ll Be Right Show, this Saturday from 3pm, on East FM.

The volunteer community-powered, public service radio station, East FM, is proudly in its 13th year, broadcasting from the Bill Mudgway Studio in Howick Village on 88.1FM and 107.1FM in East Auckland; globally at www.eastfm.nz... and on NZ-app Radio Schmadio.

Senior students in Auckland will be able to get bonus NCEA credits and enrol in summer school after the second Covid-19 lockdown disrupted their learning.

Education Minister Chris Hipkins announced a raft of temporary changes to NCEA for Auckland students, who have missed an extra two a half weeks of school compared to pupils in the rest of the country.

The changes build on the system of bonus credits previously announced for all students.

Auckland teenagers will now earn one bonus credit for every four credits they achieve, up to a maximum of 16 bonus credits at level 1, and 12 at levels 2 and 3.

In the rest of the country, students will get one credit for every five they earn, up to a maximum of 10 and eight.

Four thousand students will now be able to enrol in summer school through Te Kura Correspondence School. There is normally a cap of 1000 students.
