Natalie details the case of a local Doctor who has just been found guilty of prescribing medication to family and friends. Also she has the latest twists and turns in the case of Hamilton City Councillor Andrew Bydder who wrote an expletive-laden rant with ableist slurs to Waipa District Council, where he lives.

Hamilton Gardens has introduced an entry fee. Now, if you are aged 16 and over and don't live in Hamilton it will cost $20 to get into the 18-themed gardens. Natalie has gauged reaction.
