Kim Ledger speaks frankly about son's death
BODY:
Heath Ledger died from a lethal combination of several different prescription medications at age 28. Eight years on his father Kim is warning others not to make the same mistake. He is in New Zealand attending The Cutting Edge Addictions Conference in Rotorua.
EXTENDED BODY:
Kim Ledger is on a mission to warn others about the dangers of the prescription drug abuse that killed his Oscar--winning son.
Heath Ledger died eight years ago after mistakenly taking a combination of several different prescription medications.
At the time of his death Heath Ledger had a busy schedule; working on night shoots for The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and travelling between filming locations in Canada and London, and his home in New York. Ledger relied on ambien and opioid painkillers to get to sleep.
"It was the chemical concoction between the ambien and then the various elements of the prescription meds that he was also taking that literally put his system to sleep, forever,” Mr Ledger said.
Mr Ledger now uses his experience to raise awareness of the issue in his role as a patron for Scriptwise, a non-profit organisation that aims to prevent prescription medication misuse. He is speaking at The Cutting Edge addictions conference in Rotorua next week.
The stigma of addiction keeps people from reaching out for help, Mr Ledger said.
“People won’t verbalise it among their friends or families. If they have become addicted, they fear they will be labelled as junkies. They are less likely to talk about the issue.”
A high-pressure lifestyle means athletes and busy professionals are most at risk of a heavy reliance on prescription medications, Mr Ledger says. What is originally a simple prescription for one issue can easily turn into medication misuse.
"If you have to take pain killers to continue you're not listening to your body's message. The body needs time to repair.”
There is no easy fix for the complex problem of medication misuse Mr Ledger says, but he would like to see more money spent in schools to educate kids.
“Children soak up what they see their parents doing, so if we educate our kids at a young age maybe then they will go home and discuss the topic with their parents to help their families become aware of this issue,” he says.

Shadi Hamid on Islam exceptionalism
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan speaks to political scientist and author Shadi Hamid about his new book "Islamic Exceptionalism: How the Struggle Over Islam is Reshaping the World" which explores why religion and politics cannot be easily separated for Muslims. Shadi Hamid is a senior fellow in the Project on US Relations with the Islamic World at the Brookings Institute.
EXTENDED BODY:
Political scientist and author Shadi Hamid is challenging the idea that Islamism will someday settle on a more secular path to fit in with western ideas of democracy.
His new book Islamic Exceptionalism: How the Struggle Over Islam is Reshaping the World explores why religion and politics cannot be easily separated for Muslims.
Mr Hamid says unlike in most other major religions, in Islam it is almost impossible to separate the two, and this makes it a major stumbling block to integrate pre-modern Islamic law into modern society.
He says for those looking for an explanation for the rise of Islamic State (IS) recognising the fundamental quest for an Islamic political order is a good place to start.
It is wrong, he says, to assume a kind of Islamic reformation will take place where reformation leads inexorably to enlightenment, secularism and then liberal democracy.
Much current thought tends to superimpose that model - one that was the experience in Christian western societies - on Islam.
“Part of what I want to do is challenge the idea that all people want to end at the same end point of liberalism.”
Islam emerged from a very different place to that of Christianity and it still informs Islamic thinking today, he says.
“You have to go back to the founding moment of Islam 24 centuries ago. unlike Jesus, Prophet Muhammad was a politician, he wasn’t just a cleric, he was also a head of state; a state builder.
“So naturally the Koran is going to have more to say about law and governance than the New Testament; Jesus was never in a position to govern.”
From the very first moment of Islam the religious and political were intertwined, he says.
For that reason, secular Muslim reformers in the Middle East today have an uphill battle, because if they argue against the prophetic model it’s unlikely to gain mass traction among ordinary Muslims.
In Christianity there is no equivalent to Sharia law, Mr Hamid says.
“Muslims go further than the Koran being the word of God, they would argue that it’s God’s actual speech, every letter and word is directly from God with no human mediation or experience. It’s different in the Bible where you have an acknowledgement of human authorship.
“If something is directly God’s speech, you have to be more careful how you deal with it.”
Observant Muslims believe the Koran is divine, a miracle directly from God.
“If you lose that, then the rest of the religion doesn’t really have much coherence and integrity. Religions mean something, they matter they can’t be anything we want them to be.”
Although there are different ways of practising, most Muslims want Islam to play a role in public life, he says. Although they may disagree about what that role is.
“There are very few people in these countries arguing for a full separation of religion from politics.”
A distinction must be made, he says, between Islam and Islamism.
Islamist groups are those that believe Islam or Islamic law should play a central role and go out of their way to emphasise that identity, don’t define themselves according to class or economic concerns.”
He says in Muslim countries; democracy rather than secularism is the answer.
In the west, where there are not Muslim majorities, secularism will probably hold sway, although there are tensions in Europe about the public display of religious adherence – such as the burka in France.
Conflicts are more likely in the Middle East even in countries with Muslim majorities, he says, where there are fundamental disagreements about the role of Islam in public life.
“The meaning of the nation state in countries like Egypt and Jordan, the role of religion in public life hasn’t been resolved.
“You see that very clearly in the most populous Arab country – Egypt.”
He says the only real hope is to let these tensions play out through the democratic process.
“People might disagree with Islamists, but they must have a seat at the table. They should be able to participate in the democratic process.”
He says that was one reason the Arab Spring uprisings failed because Islamist views were not acknowledged.
“Religion is very raw, it’s existential, it’s almost metaphysical, you’re not debating tax policy or the environment - you’re debating the way you relate to God.”
As for groups like IS; they’re here to stay as you can’t kill an idea.
“ISIS has set the standard for extremist groups. Even if you defeat a group like ISIS they can come back very quickly if we don’t address the sources of their rise”

1:15 Educating kids about the dangers of meth
Yesterday we covered research showing that grandparents caring for the children of drug-addict parents are struggling to make ends meet. So what is the best way to educate our young people when it comes to drug use?
Andre'a Simmons is an ex-meth addict who's started a school education programme in Australia.
It's called the Australian Anti Ice Campaign, and it involves former addicts visiting schools to tell children aged from seven-years-old, about their experiences with crystal methamphetamine.

1:40 Funding for Predator traps
The government announced last month it's aiming to make New Zealand predator free by 2050, getting rid of all the rats, stoats and possums that endanger our native animals and ecosystem. Today one of the existing organisations working in this field, a group called Predator Free New Zealand has teamed up with Kiwibank to create funding for communities who want to take part in the campaign.
Jessi Morgan from Predator Free NZ explains what this means.

3:30 This Way Up: Eating Bugs
[gallery:2451]
The United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization has championed entomophagy - the eating of insects. With the world's population tipped to reach almost 10 billion by 2050, the UN can see the potential of eating insects to feed an extra 2 billion mouths. It's not exactly a new idea, we've eaten bugs for thousands of years, and there are nearly 2,000 species of insects eaten around the world today, both cooked and raw.
This Way Up's Simon Morton tried some.

NZ Rugby slammed for Chiefs investigation
BODY:
A group of organisations has penned an open letter to NZ Rugby, saying its investigation into the Chiefs scandal was "not appropriate". Dr Jackie Blue joins Checkpoint in the studio.
EXTENDED BODY:
New Zealand Rugby's investigation into the Chiefs' end-of-season celebration is an absolute failure, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner says.
An open letter has been sent to the organisation over its joint inquiry, with the rugby team's management and the New Zealand Rugby Players' Association, into allegations some players abused a woman performing as a stripper.
Read the letter on the website 'Love Rugby. Respect Women.'
The woman, who asked to be known as Scarlette, said some players groped her, threw gravel and swore at her at the function on 1 August at the Ōkoroire Hot Pools, near Matamata.
New Zealand Rugby chief executive Steve Tew said yesterday its investigation found the allegations were unsubstantiated.
It had decided not to take further action, other than giving the team a collective formal caution.
The letter was signed or supported by the National Council of Women, the Council of Trade Unions, the YWCA, the Māori Women's Welfare League, several MPs, the Human Rights Commissioner, the Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner and more than a dozen others.
It called for courage and personal leadership from the sport's senior managers over the incident.
Equal Employment Opportunities Commissioner Jackie Blue told Checkpoint with John Campbell it was a mistake not to make the inquiry independent.
"It really means the inquiry failed, it absolutely failed," she said.
"There should have been some strong recommendations about the process, about the management, about the fact there's a woman who felt so unsafe that she went public.
"It went off the rails completely. The first error was obviously not having independence and doing their own internal inquiry conducted by a paid employee.
"If you're going to ask the same questions of the same people, by the same person, you're going to get the same result."
She said it was unclear what the finding that the allegations were unsubstantiated meant.
"We have no names [of people involved in the investigation], we don't know what kind of questions were asked, we know none of this."
Dr Blue said she had offered support to the Chiefs directly and urged them to do an independent inquiry after news of the incident broke a month ago.
If they had accepted her advice and support, one of the first people she would have told them to contact would be sexual assault victims' advocate Louise Nicholas."They [were] obviously getting on with their inquiry, didn't feel that they needed our support, so we just left the matter."
Mr Tew said earlier today there was no reason to question the integrity of the investigation.
He told Morning Report New Zealand Rugby's general counsel had put an enormous amount of energy and personal effort into it.
"He has interviewed people in confidence who have shared with him exactly what they believed to have taken place, and that's what's bought us to the conclusions we have made," he said.
But Dr Blue said the investigation was appalling.
"Every woman has the right to be safe in their work and their home or when they go about their business no matter what their occupational profession.
"And just to say that the process was wrong, [that] they shouldn't have it on an outside venue, that they shouldn't have hired a stripper or that was inappropriate - the inappropriate thing was that the woman felt so unsafe, when she should have felt safe, she had every right to feel safe."
She said what New Zealand Rugby should do now was accept help from any number of those who signed the letter.
"They have to accept there's an issue, and they should see it not as a failure, but to see it as being courageous and they would be applauded if they came forward and said 'we need help'."
In response to the letter, Mr Tew said in a statement New Zealand Rugby would be talking with the Human Rights Commission about what it could do.
"Despite all we are doing in this area, recent events show we have not got it right," he said.
He noted New Zealand Rugby was continuing to expand programmes that provided social education for players, including on risk awareness, social media, relationships and mental well-being.
"We are continuing to expand on this work, and are developing a respect and responsibility education programme focused further on healthy relationships and consent issues.
"Today, we began advertising for a respect and responsibility manager to spearhead the project underlining our commitment to this important work. In addition, New Zealand Rugby is also leading work with six other sports codes on inclusion and diversity."

Lewis Stanton becomes Nelson's hot election issue
BODY:
Nelson's long-time protester and pavement occupier, Lewis Stanton, is becoming a hot election issue in the town. A mayoral candidate has promised a solution...if he's elected.
EXTENDED BODY:
Nelson's long-time protester and CBD camper Lewis Stanton has become a hot election issue in the town.
Mr Stanton, also known as Hone Ma Heke, lives in a makeshift campsite on the city's main street, Trafalgar Street, where he also hangs his laundry and protests his right to live how he chooses.
He has been imprisoned, fined, and trespassed off Nelson's public land, but continued to return, each time to occupy a new space. His habit of living rough has upset many inner city businesses, who say his presence outside their shops, and his anti-social behaviour, turns customers away.
City councillor and mayoral candidate Pete Rainey has put his potential job on the line by promising a solution for all over Mr Stanton's situation, or quit if he can't resolve things.
He said while he had some sympathy for Mr Stanton, the time had come for action.
"There have been various different scenarios with Mr Stanton. It's not just about the fact he's sleeping on the street, and there have been various different attempts to find a solution. I'm saying now that there's potential to try and achieve a new solution and I'm prepared to step and sort that out," Mr Rainey said.
Exasperated retailers held a meeting on Wednesday, with the aim of finding a way to manage the matter themselves. They said they were frustrated that neither the law, nor the council, seemed to have the means available to them to tackle the problem.
Inner city barber shop owner Shawn Stormann said the problem lay in pinning down what Mr Stanton wanted.
"I supported him when he was first protesting but as I learned more of the back-story and was witness to more of what I'd call an 'occupation' of the sidewalk, I think the rights of the shop owners, the tourists and the people sending their dollars here in the CBD should be taken into account as well," Mr Stormann said.
Mr Stanton once carried all his possessions in a cart towed through town by his horse Barney. The horse and cart was then parked for hours in the street outside targeted shops. Barney was eventually taken off Mr Stanton and is now cared for by the SPCA.
Mr Stanton lived surrounded by his possessions, including a copy of the King's charter, the 1215 Magna Carta, and a multitude of press clippings about his many disagreements with law makers and enforcers. He said he was trying to draw attention to society's failings.
"Each and every one of us is guilty of allowing our society to have become the way it is today, simply because we sit on our arse and do nothing ... whence, that's why I'm sitting on my arse to do something about it," Mr Stanton said.
He said he had as much right to live the way he did as a person who chose to live in a house, or a house-truck. He said he respected the rights of business owners.
"Oh, absolutely they have rights, but hang on, what is more important - the money or the humanity?" Mr Stanton said.
Mr Rainey has spent nine years on the council that has tried to sort the matter. He supported people's right to protest, but said Mr Stanton was infringing people's freedom to run their businesses, or just to walk down the street.
However, he would not be drawn on the plan he had in mind.
"I'm not prepared to outline what they (plans) are in the media, because that would be stepping on potentially a relationship between me and Mr Stanton I'm trying to build."
Mr Rainey said he would like a compassionate solution, but if that proved impossible he was prepared to play hardball. He said he would like Mr Stanton to find something else to do with his life.
