Before his sold-out Auckland show on 12 February 1998, Ozzy Osbourne climbed up the stairs to be interviewed at the bFM Studios the day before. Despite the constant banging of construction downstairs from Studio 1, Osbourne speaks about the 90s looks like for him, a compilation album release, his familiaral connection to New Zealand, and him getting fired from Black Sabbath.

This week, sewage swept onto the beaches of Wellington and Christchurch as the water management systems failed in both cities.
At the same time the National Party floated their idea for a cap on council rates, the same rates that ostensibly fund those water managements systems.
Last week we also saw the release of a draft decision to decline sea bed mining in the Taranaki bite, a move that had been pushed for by the Green Party.
For this weeks catch up with the Green Party Wire host Manny spoke to MP Ricardo Menéndez March over the rates caps, the infrastructure crisis facing the councils and the draft decision to decline the sea bed mining project in Taranaki.

Last week we saw the release of a draft decision to decline sea bed mining in the Taranaki bite, a move celebrated by a number of local and environmental groups.
One of the voices opposing the project was Forest and Bird. They are now appealing a fast-track gold mine consent in Waihi North.
Following reforms to the fast-track approvals scheme pushed through last year which cut them and other community groups out of the process, the Waihi mine is the final project which Forest and Bird is invited to input on.
Wednesday Wire host Manny spoke to the Waikato and Taranaki regional conservation manager for Forest and Bird, Elvisa Van Der Leden, about the draft decision to decline seabed mining in Taranaki, Forest and Bird's appeal of the Waihi North Goldmine application, and the reforms to the fast-track approvals scheme.
