Christchurch container crackdown
BODY:
Many Christchurch residents have used shipping containers and other temporary structures to store belongings in while repairs were carried out after the earthquakes. But the Christchurch City Council says it's had an increase in complaints from residents about containers and other temporary structures obscuring neighbours' views or obstructing council berms. Chairman of the council's regulation and consents committee David East says if earthquake repairs are completed, the container may have to go.
EXTENDED BODY:
Sensible discretion will be applied to unconsented tiny homes and other structures erected since the earthquakes, Christchurch Council says.
Many residents have used shipping containers to store their belongings while repairs are made to their damaged homes.
But the council has received a number of complaints about unsightly containers blocking views or obstructing council berms.
Chair of the council's regulation and consents committee David East told Nine to Noon that Christchurch probably had more shipping containers and road cones than anywhere else in the world.
He believed that once work on a property was completed, the containers were usually removed.
But he acknowledged there were still a number that were causing problems for some neighbours.
"We are experiencing a number of complaints from residents, adjacent residents, about these sorts of facilities that have lingered on."
He said if uncompliant structures remained on a property, people would be given a notice to fix them before the council would take any action.
Mr East said each complaint would be reviewed on a case by case basis and they would apply discretion.
The same approach by council would also apply to tiny homes, that are cheap to build and can be moved easily on trailers.
Mr East said if a tiny home was connected to the sewer or other services, it would require a consent.
But he said no single case had set a precedence and the council would look at each case as it cropped up.

Battling WINZ to stop overpayments
BODY:
A Rotorua beneficiary who has been overpaid by Work and Income says it will take him five years to repay the extra money.
EXTENDED BODY:
A Rotorua beneficiary who has been overpaid by Work and Income says it will take him five years to repay the extra money.
Bryce Sinclair says his fluctuating weekend work means he continues to be overpaid.
As reported recently by RNZ, Work and Income is owed $1.28 billion, and $672 million of that is due to unintentional overpayments.
Mr Sinclair has been on a Work and Income benefit for about nine months.
He told Nine to Noon he also had two part-time jobs that he loved, but his fluctuating hours of work meant the amount he was paid by Work and Income was often incorrect to the point where he and his wife now owed $2800.
"There are people out there who are suffering, they're tortured because of this injustice.
"I go online, they have a couple of online portals where I can enter our income and they require that I declare my income for the current working week for Monday through to Sunday, and they require that that declaration be completed by Friday.
"Now, the nature of my work is such that I work sometimes on weekends and sometimes I don't, so WINZ [Work and Income] says to me - basically they're going to ask me to lie to generate a figure of what I think I'll be working on the weekend."
He said the overpayments were not accidental but rather they were occurring, and continuing to occur, because Work and Income was using a faulty system to estimate his income.
Despite trying to declare his income accurately, he had been overpaid 14 times this year, he said.
"I go to WINZ for help, I want help, and what I end up getting is that help but dumped on top of that is their system which allows errors to be made.
"How does that help me, WINZ is not helping me by creating these overpayments and there are a lot of other people who are suffering the same as well."
Ministry of Social Development Associate National Commissioner Te Rehia Papesch said income was considered for the period it was earned and it was simplistic to view the issue as a system issue.
She said the vast majority of overpayments were incurred due to clients not informing Work and Income "in a timely manner of any change to their income and other circumstances that affect their entitlement".
She said that was the law, and Work and Income had to be committed to administering the system consistently.
"In Mr Sinclair's case, we've suggested ways he can avoid incurring overpayments," she said.
"We have met with him on three occasions last month to explain our requirements, and the options available to him including providing us with estimates that can be confirmed or corrected on receipt of a payslip.
"Mr Sinclair has not been receptive to these suggestions."
"Given clients are best placed to know when their circumstances change, we've made it easier to declare income online as soon as they earn it, or estimate their income to avoid or reduce the incorrect benefit being paid.
"Their income can be amended and confirmed, and their benefit payment adjusted accordingly."
Mr Sinclair said while the agency presented the income declarations system as providing estimates rather than concrete numbers, it had a real effect and the debt worried him.
"There are some dire consequences mentioned about what could happen if I have underdeclared and they end up overpaying me. So I have pretty bad feelings about that."
He said he had approached Work and Income managers about the debt but said he was getting no direct feedback and all that happened was that $5 was taken from his ongoing payments.
He had recently bought a house with his wife and because of that it would be very difficult for him to repay the money quickly, he said, but Work and Income managers had told him not to worry about the debt.
"What sort of attitude is that? That's just extravagance, it's a waste of taxpayers' money."
"WINZ needs to find out why they're making these overpayments, how can they put procedures in place to stop them."
"Their system is defaulting to producing far too many overpayments, it is a design fault."
Ms Papesch said that with 280,000 beneficiaries, it was not possible for Work and Income to tailor the system on an individual basis.
"It is not accurate to describe Mr Sinclair's situation as typical of people incurring overpayments - people incur overpayments for a range of reasons, including not declaring income, and not updating us in a timely manner of a change to their circumstances which may impact their eligibility."
"Of course we would welcome anyone looking to pay off their debt in full, and would encourage people to get in touch to arrange full repayment of any outstanding debt."

Who's ruining the internet?
BODY:
Cory Doctorow is a world famous digital activist, science fiction author and co-editor of the website Boing Boing. He stands among those who'd like to see big changes in how we use the web.
EXTENDED BODY:
World-famous digital activist Cory Doctorow wants to see big changes in how we use the internet.
When the World Wide Web was still in its infancy it was driven, in part, by egalitarian ideals that it could be a place where everyone's voice could be heard - eliminating the power of gatekeepers to decide what information the public could access.
But according to Doctorow, who is a science fiction author and co-editor of the website Boing Boing, things have changed dramatically.
He says that while the intentions of those who were “inspired by and excited about the possibilities for directly connecting people with one another” were to keep the internet open, constant compromises meant that over time it became less egalitarian, a less competitive, and eventually less free.
“You know [that] kind of self-delusion that many of us make along the way in terms of our own morals and ethics.
“You can see it playing out until we arrive at a place where people who should have known better, have millimetre-by-millimetre, put themselves into a position where they effectively have digital monopolies.”
Websites like Facebook (which Doctorow describes as a “massive face-hugging vampire squid that is devouring the web”), Flickr and YouTube make their billions sweeping up huge amounts of original content developed by their users and selling advertising around it - and selling users personal information too.
And increasingly, those companies are using algorithms to decide what content users see, bringing accusations of censorship and psychological manipulation.
Meanwhile, governments have also passed legislation extending the powers of copyright on the web and enabling mass surveillance of online activities, including our government in New Zealand.
Doctorow says that one of the “most shameful incidents in internet policy” is Section 92A of the Copyright (New Technologies) Amendment Act here in New Zealand.
“This bill was rammed through and considered at the time to be so disproportionate that people rose up there were street demonstrations, there were mass movements against it and eventually your government rescinded the law.”
He says the fact that it was eventually reattached shows that “someone was exerting huge influence over your democratic process” in terms of internet policy.
“In the wake the Christchurch earthquake you had a parliamentarian who refused allow the emergency legislation to dig out of the rubble to go through unless your Bill 92A was reattached and made back into law.”
Doctorow talks to Kathryn Ryan about current issues with the internet and how he thinks it should change.

Nathan Mikaere Wallis is founder of X Factor Education in Christchurch. He was formerly with the Brain Wave Trust and has been a lecturer at the Christchurch College of Education, lecturing in human development, brain development, language and communication and risk and resilience.
Read an edited excerpt from the interview below:
Remind us of what is so important in the first three years of a child’s life. What are the developmental occurrences in that time that make them so important?
Essentially it’s because your brain number four, the brain that you’ve got that a dog doesn’t have, the one that’s going to contain all of your cleverness, is relationship dependant. It doesn’t just grow because of genes, it doesn’t just grow because Einstein’s your dad. It grows in response to that environment.
It needs stimulus, and we’ve talked about empathy, for example it won’t develop unless it is stimulated.
Empathy is up in that brain number four, along with your ability to focus your attention. Attachment is another. Understand consequences. Just control your emotional response. All of us have a brain like a two-year-old, where to reach out and hit someone does not require much control. That’s because it’s brain number three, a two-year-old does it. It’s the wanting to hit someone and not doing it, that requires a frontal cortex. That’s the part that is optional. It’s about those first three years of life that is largely the determinant of whether you’ve got that frontal cortex or not.
What are some of the things that can go wrong, either by absence or occurrence that your or UK psychologist Oliver James talk about can be healed or at least mitigated to some extent. What kinds of interventions are we talking about?
He’s just talking about going back and that the brain is developmental. That you can meet its needs at any age. If you are dealing with a 15-year-old who has spent 15 years in an orphanage, it doesn’t mean it’s too late, it means we’ve got to go back and give his brain what it didn’t get as a newborn baby. You could simplify that down to say that brain number one needs a solid dyadic relationship with one other person and having the attachment relationship and that could be seen as what brain number one needs. So whether you’re bringing the child home from the hospital or you’re adopting a 15-year-old from an orphanage, they both have a need in brain number one to start off with a dyadic relationship.
They both have a need in brain number two to have a rhythmic pattern. If you gave your baby a pattern by rocking them. If the kid’s lying in an orphanage and that hasn’t happened, the needs of brain number two haven’t been met. If you get him at 15, you still need to do that. You might not be rocking him, but you might put him in a swing or a rocking chair or a hammock or something. But you’ve got to do something to put that rhythmic programming in for brain number two.
I’m simplifying this obviously, it’s way more complex than that and you’ve got whole practitioners working just in that area. But the way to heal it and what Norman is talking about is very in line with people like Bruce Perry, who are saying that you can fix those things, you just have to do them in the developmental order that they should have been done in the first place.

Work and Income figures on beneficiary debt show that $672 million is owed by people who were overpaid by accident, and have to pay it back. Rotorua beneficiary Bryce Sinclair has two part time jobs and his hours of work fluctuate from week to week, and therefore his income. Bryce declares this income to WINZ, but because of the way the system works, he's found himself overpaid, and he and his wife now owe nearly 2 thousand 8 hundred dollars. He tells Kathryn Ryan that despite his best efforts, the debt has mounted, which he finds very stressful.

Geoffonomics: The price of clean, green electricity
BODY:
Can we have clean, green electricity without blowing the power bills?
EXTENDED BODY:
We're now into the coldest time of the year, the time when we fire up Huntly power station and everyone's power bills go through the roof. We are supposed to be weaning ourselves off fossil fuels by the 2nd half of this century but can we do it without the lights going out and our power bills exploding?

The Expats: Helen Simmons in Oslo
BODY:
Helen Simmons has lived in the Norwegian capital for 12 years, and loves the changing seasons, but the very short winter days can take their toll.
EXTENDED BODY:
Helen Simmons has lived in the Norwegian capital for 12 years, and loves the changing seasons, but the very short winter days can take their toll.
Helen Simmons says Oslo is getting increasingly crowded and housing is a growing problem. She says there isn't really a tradition of going flatting, everyone wants their own place and not to share it with strangers.
"In general Norwegians are very reserved with strangers, and appreciate their privacy and peace and quiet. Once you get to know people better, they are friendly and warm and like to do things together - eating, going for walks. But you need to get past that initial reserve, and take the initiative to make friends"
She says one thing she particularly enjoys is the focus on the changing seasons. She says there are traditional activities for each season, like picking berries and mushrooms in autumn, cross-country skiing in winter.
"At the moment it's summer, which means walks in the forest, picnics, swimming in the sea and in lakes, and staying up all night because it doesn't really get properly dark at night in July. I love summer in Norway, closely followed by autumn when all the leaves turn orange."

1:15 Part Stingray, Part Robot
Yesterday on the show we spoke with Submarine designer, Lucy Collins, and one of the questions she was asked was whether submarine design has ever tried to emulate the flexi-torso techniques used by sea creatures to displace water more effectively.
Our next guest works on exactly this kind of thing. Professor Kit Parker of Harvard University looks to the natural world for engineering inspiration... and has built a robotic stingray, which imitates the movement of a living stingray.
