Curious kea in trouble
BODY:
Conservationists are sounding the alarm over declining kea numbers. The Kea Conservation Trust is launching a citizen science project to tag the birds. It has also started a Givealittle page. Mark Brabyn is a Kea Conservation Trust volunteer.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand conservationists are worried at the rapid decline in the number of kea, the world's only alpine parrot.
Kea Conservation Trust volunteer Mark Brabyn told Nine to Noon that predators such as stoats and possums were linked to their rapid decline.
He estimated the kea population, which was concentrated in areas around Arthur's Pass, and the Fox and Franz Josef glaciers, at about 3000 to 4000.
"There may be a few more, but it's the rate of decline that's what's alarming us the most," Mr Brabyn said.
He said kea were increasingly attracted to places where tourists gathered, including South Island ski fields.
And human interaction was a problem, especially when people fed them, he said.
"Keas are one of the major dispersal animals for a lot of our alpine plants, so by keas eating muffins and pies and things, they're not eating the actual berries and dispersing all our native plants," he said.
Mr Brabyn said it was also a problem when kea started "hanging around" towns, where they ate things they should not, such as lead nails.
He said a kea was recently treated for lead poisoning, linked to its diet.
Predators like stoats, possums and cats were also taking their toll on the species.
A number of kea nests and a group of critical breeding females had all been destroyed in recent years, he said.
The kea population was most at risk during seed production (mast) years, which triggered an increase in mice.
"And then the stoats increase because there all these mice to feed on, and then when they die in winter the stoats then switch to birds, including kea," Mr Brabyn said.
He did a lot of back-country tramping, and in the last 20 years had noticed a real decline in kea.
"You go to areas where there's no predator control and you're lucky to see one or two. Friends have been in Fiordland where there've been none sighted."
The trust has started a citizen science project to encourage the public to help monitor the birds, and to help support a tagging project. And a Givealittle page set up to raise funds attracted $6000 in its first week, and currently sits at over $8000.
The trust has set a target of $30,000.
Mr Brabyn said they planned to set up a kea display in Arthur's Pass, a website and a brochure that included a form for people to record kea sightings. It would also be developed for online users, via mobile phones.
"We want to involve the public, tourists, backpackers, trampers. We want them to record the kea and get to know them," Mr Brabyn said.

BODY:

EXTENDED BODY:
Professor Craig Franklin has been studying crocodiles in Australia's far north Cape York peninsular for 14 years.
And it has been more than just theoretical study: he's been up close and personal, conducting the largest and longest crocodile tracking programme ever undertaken.
Animals are trapped in cages, and fitted with satellite and acoustic transmitters in order to find out how far they roam, how deep they dive, how long they stay underwater, and how they're adapting to climate change.
Craig was born in New Zealand, but has been in Queensland for many years, where he is now Professor of Zoology at the University of Queensland, as well as director of research for the Steve Irwin Wildlife Reserve.
He was a close friend and research partner of the famous Australian wildlife expert and conservationist, who died ten years ago, and whose wife and children are still involved with his research.
In the field and the lab Craig investigates the way animals adapt, physiologically and behaviourally, to endure in severe and changing conditions.
He's studied the case of the desert frog that can survive for years living in a fleshy cocoon under sand.
He has captured saltwater crocodiles with Irwin, to find out how they live and where they travel and has researched how Antarctic fish survive under the ice in sub-zero temperatures.

How the sugar industry downplayed links to heart disease
BODY:
Newly released documents reveal how the US sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease and instead promote saturated fat as the culprit.
EXTENDED BODY:
Newly released documents reveal that in the 1960s the US sugar industry paid scientists to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease and instead promote saturated fat as the culprit.
The internal sugar industry documents were discovered by a researcher at the UC San Francisco, Cristin Kearns.
Details from the papers have been published in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
The documents cast doubt on 50 years of US nutritional and dietary advice and show the insidious influence of the sugar on an influential Harvard study.
Kearns says she came upon the documents while looking into why advice about diabetes seemed to avoid mentioning a link with sugar.
“I went to a conference looking at the links between diabetes and gum disease all the way back in 2007 when I heard from some of our national leaders talking about dietary advice for diabetics. No-one was talking about reducing sugar consumption and I found that to be very unusual.”
She decided to delve deeper and stumbled on archives from a sugar company that went out of business in the 1970s. That company had donated its records to local libraries.
Those documents revealed the PR tactics of the Sugar Research Foundation, including its influence on the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) review of the safety of sucrose and also how the sugar industry sought to influence thinking on tooth decay.
"The US national tooth decay research programme got launched in 1971 and they [Sugar Research Foundation] are able to contribute to influencing research programmes to shift our attention away from researching sugar and instead look at things.”
Some of those suggested side alleys were developing a vaccine for tooth decay or finding an enzyme to add to toothpaste to break up plaque on the teeth.
“And of course we know how those things panned out”, says Kearns.
In the latest find she discovered correspondence kept at Harvard University between Harvard nutrition scientists and the sugar industry back in the 1960s.
At the time evidence was emerging linking sucrose to coronary heart disease, the media was picking up on it and the sugar industry was jittery.
“So they turned to these Harvard researchers to help them shift public opinion.”
The industry paid three Harvard scientists the equivalent of about US$50,000 in today's dollars to publish a 1967 review of sugar, fat and heart research.
The studies used in the review were hand-picked by the sugar group, and the article was published in the prestigious New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM)
“The industry set the objectives of the review, they sent the Harvard researchers articles they wanted them to critique that would make sugar look better.”
A subsequent article in the NEJM in 1967 didn’t disclose any sugar industry funding.
“The authors of the review have died so we can’t ask them about their direct role, but they were very influential figures in the dietary debates in the US in the '50s and '60s and '70s.”
Two of the authors, Hegsted and Stare, went on to advise groups like the American Heart Association and help shape national dietary advice.

NZ Live: Debbie Harwood & Hammond Gamble
BODY:
Two of New Zealand's best loved performers are on New Zealand Live today. Debbie Harwood inherited a musical bent from her father and took lessons in ballet, violin, recorder, flute and piano from age four. Hammond Gamble was born in the Lancashire village of Bolton-Le-Sands to an English mother and Kiwi father, and settled in Whangarei with his family, aged 11. When performing as Mary Magdalene in 1980, she was approached by a two guys from the orchestra who wanted her to sing in their band. They kept coming back until she agreed. After leaving school he became a shipping clerk and earned enough money to buy a Fender Telecaster and a Twin Reverb amp - and that's when he started playing the blues.

The Edmonds Cookbook rises again!
BODY:
Alexa Johnston has revamped the Edmonds cookbook, it's the first time in over two decades that it has had a proper review.
EXTENDED BODY:
For the first time in over two decades the Edmonds Cookery Book has undergone a revamp - soused trout is out and bliss balls are in!
Alexa Johnston talks with Jesse Mulligan about a job her stepson likened to "rewriting the Bible".
Alexa says that over the years New Zealand’s favourite cookbook has changed a lot and she wanted to make this issue “the best of the best”.
So what is out?
“There were big international sections which – to be honest- really didn’t work anymore because people know if they go to a Japanese restaurant they're going to get tempura - and it’s Japanese, it’s not chinese, which it was [described as] in one of the early editions.”
And what’s in?
Of course plenty of baking (including gluten-free).
“Baking is a treat, baking is an occasional thing. We don’t have to live on biscuits. Also I think things can be small. We’ve got a bit of a gigantism problem.”
Ignoring the two-tiered slab that ginger crunch has evolved into, Alexa included the recipe she grew up using, for “a very thin biscuit with a very thin layer of icing”.
Also included are some recipes she says have ‘drifted out of the limelight’ - Elsie’s fingers, Dad’s cherry cake, a coconut loaf that appeared in the ‘50s and was dropped in the ‘70s, and mock whitebait fritters (made out of grated potato, egg and cheese - with poppy seeds for eyes!).
Previous editions have assumed quite a lot of prior knowledge about cooking and baking and the 2016 edition is more user-friendly with detailed instructions, numbered stages and an introductory description of each dish as found in most other cookbooks.
Alexa shares a 1923 recipe for Elsie's fingers and a new recipe for bliss balls.

1:15 How the sugar industry downplayed link to heart disease and obesity
[image:82108:full]
Newly released documents reveal how the US sugar industry paid scientists in the 1960s to downplay the link between sugar and heart disease and instead promote saturated fat as the culprit.
The internal sugar industry documents, were discovered by a researcher at the University of California, San Francisco, Cristin Kearns.
And they call into question the past 5 decades of nutrition and dietary advice - and just how much they have been shaped by sugar lobbyists.
Details from the papers have been published in the medical journal JAMA Internal Medicine.
1:25 The challenges of being a student loan borrower who has moved overseas
Earlier this week we spoke with the president of the NZ Union of Students Association Linsey Higgins about student loan borrowers who are too scared to come home from overseas due to their debts.
While the 110,000 overseas borrowers only represent 15 percent of everyone with a student loan, they make up 70 percent of all borrowers with overdue payments - and the government is now getting tough with overseas defaulters - working with the australian tax department and even detaining people at the airport when they return to the country.
When I hear about people overseas not paying back their loans I, like a lot of people, find it hard to feel sorry for them. I think: well you borrowed the money, you work out how to pay it back, just like any other debt.
But we got a very thoughtful email from one student loan borrower, Charlotte who is now living and working in Australia - who's had an experience that is easier to sympathise with . She says she is nearly being crippled by the repayments she has to make.

20 people, including two newborns, in one home
BODY:
Two sisters were living in an overcrowded house with 16 others and their newborn babies until their midwife referred them to a housing provider, because they did not know who to ask for help.
EXTENDED BODY:
Two mums with newborn babies, sharing a four-bedroom house with 16 others - that was the situation for two sisters, before they were referred by their midwife to an Auckland housing provider.
And advocates say the sisters' case is far from isolated, with more babies being born into overcrowded houses or to no home at all.
"I got my sister there and her husband and four kids, and the other sister and husband and seven kids, so heaps of people around there," said Polohivia Kaufusi, as she described her former home.
"And grandma too," her sister, Ahiahi Kaufusi, said.
In total, 20 people lived in the four-bedroom house.
"It was scary," Polohivia said, adding that she feared the crowded conditions would make her newborn baby ill.
The sisters came to New Zealand from Tonga in 2012, under the Pacific Quota Ballot system.
It was not until their midwife visited the house after their babies were born that they managed to change their living situation.
Distressed by what she saw, the midwife called Danielle Bergin, who runs Island Child Charitable Trust.
"They were in a single room, there was two newborn babies with their mums as well as two teenagers on bunks," Ms Bergin said.
"She rang me and she was just so worried. She said, 'Dani, it cannot happen. I cannot leave those babies in that environment.'"
Ms Bergin set up the non-profit organisation to support marginalised people in the greater Auckland area.
Her clientele never used to be homeless mothers with newborn babies, and it never used to be midwives that referred people to her, but such cases now made up the majority of her work, she said.
"Pretty much my last six cases over the last two months have been people with newborn babies.
"We rehomed a mum two days ago who was due that day to give birth," she said.
Barriers to getting help
Polohivia and Ahiahi Kaufusi had now found Housing New Zealand accommodation.
They, and their babies, were happy and healthy.
However, getting there was made tough by the language barrier - they had no idea how to ask for help in a strange new country.
Ms Bergin said their new life in New Zealand was worlds away from what they had in mind.
"They said, 'It's so hard.' They had no idea how hard it would be."
"Why don't we just portray the truth, you know?
"If you get a resident visa on a Pacific ballot scheme, be prepared to come to New Zealand and do it really hard. Because that's the reality."
Ms Bergin said babies being born into homelessness were yet another signpost of an ever-worsening housing crisis.

Labour calls for immigration system to be reviewed

The Labour Party is calling for a review of the country's immigration system following fresh claims of human-trafficking.
EXTENDED BODY:
The Labour Party is calling for a review of the immigration system following fresh claims of human-trafficking.
Investigators are looking into an allegation that people-traffickers are using Facebook to lure migrants into jobs paying less than $10 an hour on New Zealand orchards.
The Labour Party's spokesperson for immigration, Iain Lees-Galloway, said it was the latest in a string of stories about migrants being exploited.
He wanted an inquiry into this specific case, and a review of the system, he said.
"Our immigration system is absolutely out of control and the government is failing migrants.
"It's allowing them to be exploited, and it's failing New Zealand by having an immigration system which is absolutely broken. We are now getting these stories on a daily basis."
In a statement, Labour Inspectorate regional manager Kevin Finnegan said there were currently no investigations into the "luring of migrants into underpaid jobs via Facebook".
But he said they took any allegations of migrants being exploited very seriously.
He said there had been successful investigations into the exploitation of seasonal workers in the past.
"The Labour Inspectorate undertakes joint operations with Immigration New Zealand (INZ) as part of a whole-of-government approach to combat migrant exploitation.
"Migrants who are found to be working in breach of the conditions of their visa are putting themselves in a very vulnerable position. Where we do find this to be the case, we will report it to INZ."
