10:18 Feral cats rampant in Hawke's Bay

Hawke's Bay farmer and owner of Tunanui Station, Andrew Russell is dealing with hundreds of feral cats who appear to be dumped domestic pets. For the past 15 years Andrew usually traps about 100 cats annually but this year he has caught more than 400. The cats kill many birds and native lizards in the forest but also spread diseases such as toxoplasmosis.

10:25 Kiwis ditching kale

New research has revealed the kale craze is officially over. The leafy green has long been a favourite of Kiwis and could be found in smoothies, baked into chips and mixed into salads. LeaderBrand, New Zealand's largest producer of salad leaves, believes we're now looking for more palatable alternatives to kale. CEO of LeaderBrand Richard Burke explains why he thinks Kiwis have given up on the nutritious leaf.

10:36 Older Kiwis excluded from digital Covid updates

The reliance on technology for Covid Vaccine passes is highlighting the digital deficit among our seniors. Many seniors don't have a phone or computer which makes it difficult for them to participate in everyday life. Digital Seniors is a Wairarapa volunteer organisation who's been flat out helping older folk get print outs of their vaccine passes so they can carry them with them. Community manager, Sarah Wright is seeing people who don't even have an email address and she warns its a problem that should concern all of us at any age as tech develops faster than we do.
