This is the last Wednesday Wire of the year, so we are doing a semi best of 2018 show.

For Dear Science we are recapping some of the biggest science stories from this year

Lisa replays her report on the ghost homes of New Zealand, and part of an interview with Associate transport minister Julie Anne Genter.

Lillian doesn't do best of but instead gives us an investigative piece on the restructure posed by CanTeen NZ in the past couple of weeks and the effect that will have on it’s members.

Report: What is the future of CanTeen NZ?

Wed, 19 Dec 2018 00:00:00 +1300

Lillian Hanly spent some time this past week looking into the restructures posed by CanTeen NZ. As she did so, the story grew and grew. It’s a complicated issue where funding shortages have resulted in restructures and those restructures may very well affect the way the organisation operates in difficult ways. As a warning, some of this content discusses suicide and mental health.

You can donate to CanTeen NZ on their website or over their phone line 0800 CANTEEN (0800 226 8336).
