Policing gang crime
BODY:
Detective Superintendent Virginia Le Bas is the National Manager Organised Crime, and leader of the police gang intelligence centre. She gives a picture of the methamphetamine problem across the country and how the police are changing tack when it comes to policing gang crime.
EXTENDED BODY:
There is no 'War on Drugs' in New Zealand because drug users should be treated as victims, not enemies, a senior police detective says.
The amount of methamphetamine seized last year was three times more than in 2014, and last week police seized 500kg of the class A drug valued at half a billion on the street - the biggest-ever haul in New Zealand.
Most of it was found on a washed-up boat on 90 Mile Beach in Kaitaia.
The seizure was more than the total combined amount of meth seized in this country in 2015.
Detective Superintendent Virginia Le Bas said police had adopted a prevention-first approach to combating more methamphetamine coming into the country - and it was working.
Ms Le Bas leads the newly created police gang intelligence centre and said the number of drug users was decreasing
She said the police's primary focus was on treating drug users as victims.
Ms Le Bas told Nine to Noon users should be helped where possible, and police work with other agencies to remove people from the drug lifestyle.
"Community intelligence is basic policing where we collect data and assess what are the actual problems and where intervention is required.
"It's a complex issue and there's not one agency that can work by itself to solve it."
She said any officer had a responsibility to focus on prevention.
"Prosecutions will be undertaken and evidence will be provided to the courts, but it's also about building a resilience in the community so they can say no to crime and what they can do to prevent it.
"New Zealand should work to be the safest country in the world and be proud of it."
Ms Le Bas said about half of all methamphetamine came from gangs. However, it was mostly individual gang members operating on their own, rather than organised collectives, she said.

The Garden to table programme has been enormously successful in teaching school children to grow, harvest and prepare seasonal fruit and vegetables.
So far it has only been available to schools in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, where there are coordinators to work with the schools to set up the gardens and help the teachers and students throughout the year.
But now schools in other parts of the country will be able to join, at a much a cheaper cost.. An on-line version of the Garden to Table programme has been set up, to allow schools out of those main centres to set up and run their own gardens with on-line support, and at a much cheaper price.

EXTENDED BODY:
The documentary series Making a Murderer follows the story of Steven Avery who was wrongfully convicted of a crime, exculpated by DNA evidence then rearrested for a new murder by a police department many people believe were out to get him.
Avery's lawyers in that trial are coming to New Zealand to present a live show in November. Jerry Buting is one of those lawyers - he talks to Jesse Mulligan about the ongoing implications of this case.
Read an edited excerpt of their interview below (contains spoilers):
When you watched the documentary, having lived through it, were you satisfied with the filmmakers’ portrayal of how it went down?
I was. I thought it was very well put together. I actually saw a preview of it about a week before it aired so that I could meet with Steven Avery and prepare him for what was going to happen, although I don’t think anybody expected this kind of response. I thought it was very fairly balanced, particularly with the evidence that was most fought over at the trial. There was some of the state’s evidence that was left out, there was some of the defence’s evidence that was left out. It was, after all, a six week trial. On balance I thought it was a very good portrayal of what we fought about the hardest. Both sides, throughout that six weeks.
Ken Kratz, the district attorney who featured in the show, he prosecuted in the case, said in an interview after the documentary was released that the filmmakers ignored almost 90 percent of the physical evidence that he used to convict Steven Avery of the murder. Does that sound true to you?
That sounds about as true as the narrative of his press conference about bloody murder with stabbings and throat-slitting, none of which was corroborated with any of the physical evidence. No, it’s not true. What he did, is he listed six or eight or ten things that were not in the documentary that he later claimed were so important to the state’s case, but if you go back and look at the transcripts of his closing argument… what lawyers spend time on in their closing argument is a good idea of what they think is the most important. The things that he mentioned he barely touched on, very briefly in his closing argument. If it didn’t mean so much to him then, then it certainly couldn’t have meant that much to the jury either.
The documentary filmmakers had to make a decision. ‘What are we going to cover, what are we going to include, what are we not going to include?’ The main points both parties argued about were covered. The bones, the blood, the magic key and the magic bullet, those are all covered pretty thoroughly on both sides throughout the documentary. I disagree with Mr. Katz’s statement after the documentary just as much as I disagreed with him throughout the trial.
What are you most often asked?
A lot of people are very troubled by what they see with Brendan Dassey, the 16-year-old nephew’s interrogation…
Can I just catch people up on that? So Steven Avery is the main subject of the series, but there is another storyline of his nephew who is arrested for the same crime and a lot of the most moving footage of the documentary is when various people interview him and he is a teenager with developmental problems and it really feels like he is getting bullied into this confession that ends up putting him away in jail for a long, long time and no one was there standing up for him.
Right, so that’s what people ask if they have seen the documentary, ‘How common is that? Can that really happen?’ You’ve seen it happen in your country with the Pora case. He was a 16-year-old man when he falsely confessed. In fact I think your government agreed to compensate him just last week, right?
That’s right, there are a lot of parallels there.
There’s a lot of parallels and unfortunately it’s utterly common, at least in America. Less so in most of the rest of the English-speaking world, particularly in the last 10 years or so. Most of them have gone away from the confrontational technique that is depicted in this documentary, but in America it really hasn’t.
People say, how can this 16-year-old be called out of class in high school, brought down to the principal’s office and then arrested and interrogated without a lawyer, without his parents, nobody there for him, is that really legal? And unfortunately, it is. It doesn’t have to be that way and there are some people now who are trying to change the law of various statutes to prevent that from happening, but the techniques that are used, these confrontational type of questions where they don’t accept a denial, no matter how many times you say you didn’t do it.
Thankfully, relatively recently, American courts have started to record interrogations from beginning to end and if it wasn’t for that… in fact there was something new in Wisconsin that was passed as part of Mr. Avery’s wrongful conviction. After his 18 year wrongful conviction there was a commission that was started to look into reforms of the criminal justice system and one of the things that they did was to require mandatory recording of interrogations, so ironically that ended up helping the documentarians and the public see what happened to this 16-year-old, who was really no match for these trained police officers.

Gardening guru, Lynda Hallinan with winter salad greens and how to grow them.
EXTENDED BODY:
How to grow winter greens
Lynda Hallinan says the key from now on is that very little growth happens in cold, wet soil, so if you want a constant supply of salad greens through winter, grow them in plastic pots or troughs. They still need as much sunlight as possible, so position pots on a sunny deck, or indoors in a conservatory, or under a clear plastic polytunnel outdoors.
"A few years ago I did a lettuce trial for NZ Gardener and found that winter lettuces grow roughly a third faster if they are in plastic pots rather than in the soil"
She tells jesse it is important to avoid the pots getting waterlogged, and it can help to put them under the eaves for extra warmth and shelter, and water with liquid fertiliser diluted in warm water.

1:15 School gardening programme expands
The Garden to table programme has been enormously successful in teaching school children to grow, harvest and prepare seasonal fruit and vegetables.
But it has only been available to schools in Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch, where there are coordinators to work with the schools to set up the gardens and help the teachers and students throughout the year.
But now schools in other parts of the country will be able to join, at a much a cheaper cost.. An on-line version of the Garden to Table programme has been set up, to allow schools out of those main centres to set up and run their own gardens with on-line support, and at a much cheaper price.
[image:72478:full]
Jesse talks with two big fans of garden to table, the principal of Papatoeotoe West School Dianna Tregorworth
and one of her former students, 12 year old Matthew Parr, who is now at Kowhai Intermediate...

1:25 The ongoing implications of "Making a Murderer"
The documentary series Making a Murderer is one of the most talked about television shows of the modern era.
It follows the story of Steven Avery who was wrongfully convicted of a crime, exculpated by DNA evidence and then rearrested for a new murder by a police department many people believe were out to get him.
Much of the show is based around his trial for that murder, and Avery's lawyers in that trial are coming to New Zealand to present a live show in November.
Jerry Buting is one of those lawyers - he talks to Jesse Mulligan about the ongoing implications of this case

Ten of those were top, young South East Asian agri-business leaders and entrepreneurs.
They'd been selected on recommendations from our embassies and High Commissions in South East Asia and were in New Zealand on a programme managed by the Asia New Zealand Foundation - especially timed to coincide with Fieldays.
The Foundation says the programme was designed to give the participants an idea of what we do well in New Zealand, how we use technology to farm and to detail government regulations around agriculture and why they've been put in place. The idea was also to put them in touch with people they might want to do business with.
The young agri-business leaders were from Vietnam, the Philippines, Indonesia, Malaysia, Laos and Myanmar.

Colin Cox - pioneer deer farmer and possumer
BODY:
Colin Cox was been involved in the very beginnings of deer farming in New Zealand, and the development of possum fibre for use in clothing. He's written down his life experiences which Country Life has turned into a booking reading series. Today he sets the scene for his role as a New Zealand pioneer.
EXTENDED BODY:
These days it's pretty hard to remember a time before deer farming was legal, but until the 1970s it wasn't. And we've all heard of warm clothing made from possum-fibre wool blend, but until the mid 1990s it was yet to exist.
Colin Cox of Whanganui was a pioneer in both these areas. He's also gone on to develop a possum-fibre back warmer that's helped the likes of Olympic rower Mahe Drysdale.
Colin has written down his life experiences which Country Life has turned into a book reading series, read by Colin himself.

EXTENDED BODY:
Auckland entrepreneur Josiah Firth had his fingers in a lot of pies.
He was briefly in the House of Representatives, was a Director of the Bank of New Zealand, the Thames Valley Rotorua Railway, the New Zealand Frozen Meat company, owned the largest flour mill in Auckland, was a large investor in gold mining and built a dairy company; he also came to own 55-thousand acres of land at near Matamata.
Firth also had a penchant for towers.
He had New Zealand's first concrete tower built on his estate near Matamata and one at his home in Mount Eden. Both still stand. He's the father of what came to be known as Firth Concrete.
This year marks 150 years since Josiah Firth started farming in Waikato; first leasing the land from Ngati Haua and later converting it into his ownership.

EXTENDED BODY:
The Southland Community Nursery in Otatara grows locally-sourced native plants best suited for Southland conditions.
Brian and Chris Rance started the nursery about 20 years ago after they purchased a block of swampy farmland near the New River Estuary. They wanted to restore a paddock into bush but they couldn’t afford to buy lots of native plants so they set about doing it themselves and it’s grown for there.
“In the 1980’s the paddock was cleared of bush and we’re taking a lifetime to put it back up again...” Chris says.
About 8000 plants were grown at the nursery this year and many are allotted to volunteers who plant them on their properties.
“The idea is we’re a charitable trust, the nursery, and people come and help out and can take plants for free if they volunteer.”
They also supply plants to the Southland Multicultural Council in Invercargill who give them away to new citizens who settle in the area.
“More recently we’ve been selecting kōwhai because they attract tui and bellbirds and they’re a very significant plant for New Zealand and Southland, so that’s often the plant we give away now.”
A recent addition to the nursery is an education centre that is used regularly by school groups.
"It means that school groups can come, they are not discouraged by the weather, but we always want to get them outside so it’s just a means to and end really."
