Director of Government relations and communications firm Awhi and also Engage, a company that teaches you how to lobby the Government, Holly brings a fresh perspective to our industry as she educates us on how the new Government may work and what our industry needs to consider as the Residential Property Management Bill works its way through Parliament under a new Executive.

David Faulkner said last week he would never talk about Methamphetamine again. That was until Miles Stratford of Safe & Healthy Homes Solutions challenged David who subsequently invited him onto the show for a robust debate as to what the standards should be around Methamphetamine contamination in rentals. Stratford rose to fame when the Meth pandemic was in full swing. He became the unofficial spokesperson for the Meth testing industry as the media-frenzied on stories about properties contaminated with Meth. In 2018, the Gluckman Report changed everything and the industry was dealt an almost terminal blow overnight. Miles joins us to argue the point that Gluckman got it wrong. Can he convince the boys that he is right and Sir Peter Gluckman was wrong?

It is over five years since the Gluckman Report blew away the shackles that were the debacle of testing for Methamphetamine across New Zealand. However, as a bill to change the law that will set definitive standards around safe levels languishes in Parliament, we still have no clear means that everyone works to. David Faulkner, Will Alexander and Harrison Vaughan discuss what needs to be done.
