A Mungrel Mob run meth rehab program ended up at the center of a fierce political fight. After being funded by Jacinda Ardern's government, the coalition government turned off the tap for drug rehabilitation program Kahu Kora. But behind the politics, did it actually help people get off meth? And what does it tell us about who is best placed to deliver addiction treatment? Today on the front page, NZ Herald's senior writer Derek Chang has gone through the reports on the program's intakes, and he joins us now to talk through what really happened and the role of gangs in frontline services.
