Interest-free student loans: success or failure?
BODY:
A new report by the think tank The New Zealand Initiative finds that the scheme has failed to help students from poorer backgrounds access tertiary education. Kathryn Ryan speaks to head of research the the NZ Initiative, Dr Eric Crampton.
EXTENDED BODY:
The government should start charging interest on new student loans, the New Zealand Initiative think tank says.
In a new report, 'Decade of Debt: The cost of interest-free student loans', the group said the no-interest policy did not help poor students and had cost nearly $6 billion in written-off interest since it was introduced in 2006.
The savings made by charging interest could be used to provide more means-tested financial help for students from poor families and to better prepare poorly-performing secondary school students for tertiary education, it said.
New Zealand Initiative head researcher Eric Crampton said the zero-interest policy was an expensive failure.
"If the scheme [was] intended to improve tertiary accessibliity for low-income communities or non-traditional tertiary communities, it's failed magnificently in achieving that end, and it's failed to the tune of about $600 million per year in interest write-offs."
Charging interest on the loans was a "no brainer", he said.
Students paid about 18 percent of the cost of their education as a result of the policy, the report said.
That benefited rich and middle income families that could afford to pay more for their children's tertiary education, it said.
Tertiary institutions could be required to cover some of the cost of defaulted loans in order to encourage them to ensure their courses led to employment, it suggested.
As of June 2015, 730,000 people owed money to the loan scheme and by March this year, the total debt owed to the scheme was $15 billion.
The Child Poverty Action Group also recently suggested a rethink of interest on student loans.
Too many students, especially those with children, were in hardship and the government should increase both the number of students eligibile for allowances and the amount paid to them, the group said.
It might be worth considering whether interest should be charged on student loans as a trade-off for providing those increases, it said.
The no-interest policy had made it easier for governments and tertiary institutions to put more of the cost of studying onto students, the group said.

When tiredness is dangerous
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan talks to worker fatigue expert Professor Drew Dawson, who says organisations need to be aware that sleeplessness can affect performance as much as alcohol. So just how much sleep do you need before going to work? And what are the consequences of not getting enough?
EXTENDED BODY:
Worker fatigue expert Professor Drew Dawson says businesses need to be aware that the effects of fatigue on performance are similar to the effects of alcohol.
Professor Dawson is the director of the Appleton Institute at the Central Queensland University campus in Adelaide - one of the largest behavioural sleep research groups in Australia.
His research focuses on the effects of shift work and sleep loss on the health and well-being of employees.
One of the problems with fatigue-related errors is that they don't occur often enough for someone to change their behaviour.
“For example when you interview people who have fallen asleep driving, they’ll say ‘I’ve driven this tired plenty of times before and I’ve never died before’. So while people are quite good at estimating how fatigued they are, they are very poor at their capacity to judge how safe they are because the frequency of incidents is very low.”
Like taking drugs or alcohol, the effect of sleep deprivation starts off at low levels builds up over time.
“[With] drugs and alcohol, the more impaired you are, the poorer your decision making, but it can be quite different behavioural manifestations of that at low, moderate and high levels of fatigue.”
There has been a decline in the average number of hours of sleep over the last century, with a drop of around an hour and a half to two hours per night, Dawson says.
“I think we are facing an increasing generation of people who never catch up and because of the combination of work, family life and shall we say, the attraction of the options other than sleeping…”
“People will say to me how come people were getting 10 hours of sleep every night 100 years ago, and part of me will say, ‘Well, there wasn’t anything else to do’.”
Modern cultural expectations are also having an effect on the amount of sleep people get.
“A short sleeper is read in ways that make you seem more motivated, more likely to succeed. The sad reality is the facts don’t actually support that to the extent that people believe.”
“When we ask first year university students how much sleep they get and then they actually measure it on them, they tend to under estimate their sleep a lot because they want you to believe that they’re up partying every night and they’re living fabulous social lives.”

Preschool speech and language development
BODY:
How and when do pre-schoolers develop speech sounds? What is 'normal', and when should parents be concerned. Speech and Language therapist Christian Wright explains.
EXTENDED BODY:
What are 'normal' language skills for a preschooler? And when should parents be concerned?
Wellington speech and language therapist Christian Wright talks first first words and sounds with Kathryn Ryan.
At around 3 months months old, a baby will open their mouth and sound comes out - usually vowel sounds, with consonants coming at around 6 months old, says Christian.
By 12 months a baby will usually have played around with a small group of consonants and vowels and be ready to produce their first word.
In rough order, humans first form sounds at the front of the mouth with the lips, because lips are easy to bring together – Bs, Ps, Ms, Ns, Ds and Hs.
Over time, the tongue, teeth and lips start to interact, until at 1.5 to 2 years old Ks, Gs and sometimes F sounds are produced, followed a little bit later on by ‘shuh’ and ‘juh’, Rs and Ss.
At roughly 3.5 years, a child shouldn’t be making sounds at the back of their mouth. For example they shouldn’t still be making Ks and Gs into Ts and Ds.
When a child reaches 4 years old, an unfamiliar listener should understand two thirds or more of what the child is saying, says Christian.
If parents are concerned, it’s a good idea to write down some of the words your child is saying and how are they saying them, then look for what the sound change was. For example, if they’re saying ‘dun’ for ‘sun’ you know they’re turning Ss into Ds and can start to work with that.
Despite these recommendations, Christian says speech and language development is often not linear.
“I believe that parents always know when it’s not right.”
Christian Wright recommends parents refer to the language development charts on the website Little Bee Speech.

The Expats: Nathan Morris, NYC film-maker
BODY:
Filmmaker Nathan Morris is a lad from the Hutt Valley now based in New York, and his first short film is making critical waves there.
EXTENDED BODY:
Filmmaker Nathan Morris is a lad from the Hutt Valley now based in New York, and his first short film is making critical waves there.
Nathan has only been in New York for eight months, after 16 years in London, but is already enjoying life there.
His film At Dawn has just won the directors’ choice award at the Rhode Island international film festival.
He sank his life savings into the film, which he says has been a useful calling card as he works to break into the New York industry.
“There’s a lot of work here, but it’s very hard as a director to get your foot in the door.”
Nathan says his reasons for moving to New York weren’t entirely professional.
“My heart, it was for a girl that I met.”
And so far he has had no regrets about the trans-Atlantic move.
“New York is a very, very convenient city; the people are lovely, intelligent, smart and super friendly.”
He spent 2 to 3 years writing At Dawn.
“I’m a very slow writer, I thought about it a lot. It’s about an insomniac who drives around London at night delivering ice to bars and cafes and night clubs.”
He was struck by that nocturnal service when he lived in London.
“I thought that was very odd. Why don’t they just have ice machines? And then I met a guy, he was an insomniac, insomnia ruined his life couldn’t hold down a job."
So he put the two things together to make the central character in At Dawn.
New York isn’t without challenges, Nathan says.
"It’s hard to break into the industry here, there’s so much trust involved in directing, you’ve got to prove yourself - even though I’ve been doing it for 20 years.”
Although being a Kiwi in New York is no disadvantage, he says.
“You meet people in New York and they say, ‘Where are you from?’ and you say ‘New Zealand’ and they say, ‘that’s amazing’
“I’ve even achieved something here just by being born!”

Kapiti Coast council proposal on ashes 'bonkers'
BODY:
A proposed ban on scattering ashes in public places in Kapiti, north of Wellington, is being called "stupid" and "unworkable".
EXTENDED BODY:
A proposed ban on scattering ashes in public places in Kapiti, north of Wellington, is being called unnecessary and unworkable.
The Kapiti Coast District Council's draft bylaw, expected to be approved next month, proposes to ban people from emptying urns on beaches, rivers and parks.
The council's website already states that scattering ashes in public places is not permitted.
Funeral Directors Association chief executive Katrina Shanks said it was "bonkers" that grieving families should be required to get a permit if they wanted to scatter their loved one's ashes.
The council has responded by saying the bylaw was more of a guide than a decree that they would actively enforce.
But Ms Shanks said she wasn't convinced.
"Actually, I think it goes a bit further than that proposed bylaw. I think it's actually intending to be that if you're a greiving family and you'd like to scatter the ashes of your loved one, you have to go to the council and receive written approval to do that."
About 70 percent of New Zealanders were cremated, although many were interred into plots, she said.
It was a private and respectful time and most mourners were sensitive to environmental and cultural considerations, she said.
"I don't believe that you need to regulate if there is no evidence of harm, and we haven't seen any evidence of harm in this instance."
Guidelines would be more appropriate than formal regulations, she said.
"When the families come in and say 'we're going to scatter our ashes', the funeral directors can give them some expert advice in how to do that and the sensitive issues around [it]."
Earlier this year, several iwi said they should be consulted on where ashes could be scattered to avoid it happening in sacred areas or places were seafood was gathered.

Speaker upholds complaints from New Zealand First leader, Winston Peters, and Labour's chief whip, Chris Hipkins, about the Prime Minister's delay in correcting a mistake in an answer to a correction. Instead of making the correction by way of a personal statement, Mister Key waited to include it as a clarification when answering another question the following day. But the Speaker rules that Social Development Minister, Anne Tolley, was in order to refuse to admit the imminent creation of a ministry for vulnerable children the day before the official announcement of its formation.
