New findings have revealed multivitamins are largely ineffective.

A study out of the US examined over 400,000 Americans over 20 years and determined multivitamins didn't help them live longer - and found a link between daily usage and increased mortality.

Nutritionist Nikki Hart says people are spending money on an unnecessary solution. 

"It's like hope in a jar - and I think that's what people are using it for, they think it's magic."

Wairoa's Mayor is demanding an apology from the Hawke's Bay Regional Council after last week's flooding.

The bill is expected to top $40 million, with more than 100 properties significantly damaged.

The district is still recovering from Cyclone Gabrielle last year, and ratepayers are already facing a 20 percent rates rise.

Mayor Craig Little says the council hasn't been able to pinpoint what went wrong.

"They treat us like we're a small population, yet we're 30 percent of the land area of Hawke's Bay, 60 percent of the water mass - they do other things down there and they don't do it here."
