David Faulkner said last week he would never talk about Methamphetamine again. That was until Miles Stratford of Safe & Healthy Homes Solutions challenged David who subsequently invited him onto the show for a robust debate as to what the standards should be around Methamphetamine contamination in rentals. Stratford rose to fame when the Meth pandemic was in full swing. He became the unofficial spokesperson for the Meth testing industry as the media-frenzied on stories about properties contaminated with Meth. In 2018, the Gluckman Report changed everything and the industry was dealt an almost terminal blow overnight. Miles joins us to argue the point that Gluckman got it wrong. Can he convince the boys that he is right and Sir Peter Gluckman was wrong?

David Faulkner, Will Alexander and Harrison Vaughan discuss what needs to be done.

We have seen a trend in the Tenancy Tribunal in the past few weeks. A number of adjudicators are throwing out pet clauses saying they are unenforceable.

From obese Guinea Pigs to Flemish rabbits. This show has it all.
