A daily, midday, news package which featured an in depth interview about a current news topic. Viewers could phone in and ask questions of the key interviewee.

  • 1Road Murder Last week Auckland's coroner struck a chord with many people when he issued a broadside to New Zealand's drunk drivers and pussy-footing politicians. The Parliamentary Under Secretary for Transport snapped back, saying that he was unsure what could actually be done about the problem. Options include tougher laws against drink driving, harsher penalties for those who supply liquor to young drinkers, better use of traffic officers, more random breath-testing, education of increasing the price of alcohol. Discussion and viewer talkback with Dr Stephen Street, an intensive care specialist at Auckland Hospital. He believes cars should be considered a deadly weapon, and that in the wrong hands, they are more dangerous than guns or knives.
