Good afternoon. I'm Raylen Ramsey. This says your afternoon news
fix for Tuesday, the eleventh of March. Hopes reclassifying certain
drugs will give police and customs more power against suppliers.
Cabinet is progressing plans to further control twenty three substances,
including synthetic versions of cannabis and opioids. It's also aiming
(00:26):
to categorize three drugs similar to fentanyl as Class A substances,
with harsher penalties for making them. Health Minister Simeon Brown
says synthetics are often more potent and harmful.
Speaker 2 (00:38):
This government takes law and order incredibly seriously, and that's
why we are reclassifying these drugs to give law enforcement
agencies the ability to be able to crack down on
people who elicit and pedal misery on our streets.
Speaker 1 (00:50):
No talks yet on continuing school lunch issues between the
Minister of Education Ericus Stanford and Associate Minister David Seymour.
They fail to rea share. A meetup canceled a week
ago citing time constraints. Today, meal provider LaBelle Group was
placed into liquidation. It has a contract for one hundred
(01:11):
and twenty five thousand meals a day. The government promises
that liquidation will not impact lunch deliveries. Seymour doesn't think
the lack of a meeting with Erica Stanford is a snub.
Speaker 2 (01:24):
I'm more a sunny side up in glass half full
type person.
Speaker 3 (01:27):
I'm sure we'll meet.
Speaker 1 (01:27):
I'm sure we'll meet very soon. Criminal charges filed against
Hullow Fresh are not the first red flag raised about
its behavior. The Commerce Commissioners filed criminal charges against the
meal company, accusing it of offering former customers a discount
voucher without clearly stating it would reactivate their subscription. Consumer
(01:49):
in Zis Jessica Walker says they've received a number of
complaints over the years.
Speaker 2 (01:54):
In twenty twenty three, we raised concerns about people who
were having problems with the Halifra subscription when they believe
that they had paused them.
Speaker 1 (02:04):
Six electric cars, mostly Tesla's, have been tagged in Central Auckland.
The vehicles were spray painted and driveways from Freeman's Bay
to Mount Eden, leaving the cars undrivable. Lachlan Renie has.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
More Video supplied by some owners seem to show the
same man tagging the vehicles. The owners believe it's a
protest against Tesla boss Elon Musk in his controversial role
in Donald Trump's administration. It comes as Tesla vehicles, dealerships
and charging stations have been attacked worldwide.
Speaker 1 (02:35):
Police have been informed FARMC is offering new birth control
options from next month. The progestogen only oral contraceptive pill, Desigestral,
can be taken within a twelve hour window each day,
much longer than other funded alternatives. It's branded as Sarah
Zette Sexual Wellbeing Alter as doctor Beth Messenger says, Desigestrel
(02:59):
is a highly aff effective contraceptive that can also help
with other health challenges. A win for all with rules
changing to let VET nurses perform pet dental procedures. Associate
Agriculture Minister Andrew Hogart is changing the rules so approved
nurses can remove Tata and Plark to sport and All
(03:20):
White's coach Darren Baisley is touting the strength of the
squad at his disposal for the final stage of the
Oceania World Cup qualifiers. Baisley has made just one tweak
to his last squad, with defender Finnsermon staying in America
and replaced by Jesse Randall. Paul Coles headed to familiar
territory to compete in the Australian Squash Open this week,
(03:43):
where he began his pro career. Motorsport legend Craig Larnes
will end his twenty year association with Triple eight Racing
after this supercar season. That is your latest news fix.
We'll be back with the next update tomorrow morning from
the Newstalk because it'd be a news room m
