Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with the Brain Drink, Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Stewart Sowman-Lund asks why a National MP has been advertising on an "anti-vax" website blacklisted by RNZ, Tim Batt worries about David Farrier after watching his new documentary and Marcia Welch introduces the inaugural Bug of the Year candidates.
“As one of only three piercing shops in the country that has a registered nurse onsite administering piercings, Wendy and Pete at The Crystal Ball in Thames have welcomed pretty much every type of customer through their doors, from 78-year-old divorcees getting their belly buttons bejewelled to teenage girls getting their tongues transfixed. They are also very used to customers seeking advice on botched piercings that have been done elsewhere at bargain bin prices. ‘It’s profit before people,’ Wendy says. ‘They rely on volume, and that’s when people get sloppy.’”
