The University of Otago has released a new study looking into public awareness of cancer risk factors, with a particular focus on alcohol and dietary factors, and support for evidence-based alcohol and food policies to reduce people's exposure to these risks in their environment. So, they found that there is some awareness of modifiable risks and those risk factors for cancer, but more needs to be done to increase awareness and give people the knowledge to make healthier choices. They also studied

Really interesting article in the New Zealand Herald today about the number of schools offering Reading Recovery. This system was developed in New Zealand in the 70s in order to support 6-year-olds struggling with literacy. It's been used around the world but now due to new research into how the brain works and learns, it's no longer as popular as it used to be, with less than 40% of schools now offering the programme. There is no doubt the debate as to how to teach young kids the basics of

Yesterday we learned that a young driver, jailed for killing five of his teenage mates in a horror car crash near Timaru, has been released from prison. You will remember this story. Parent or not, this is this tragic story that hit a nerve with all of us. It was just such a sad waste of young lives, families destroyed, and a community torn apart. Just a horrible, horrible story. The young driver, the only survivor of the crash, pleaded guilty to five charges of dangerous driving causing death

Goodness me, the National government elect haven't hasn't even parked its buns around the cabinet table yet and some gang leaders are already having a wah about the proposed legislation around gangs and gang membership. Waikato mongrel Mob Kingdom leader, often in the news, Sonny Fatupaito said the new National government will be devastating to gangs. Well, yes, Sonny, I think you'll find that one of the reasons why Labour was roundly rejected at the polls last Saturday, and one of the reasons why

Apparently we've been doing ops in our hospital theatres on the weekends now for more than twenty years. Who knew? Probably the doctors, nurses, and technicians performing the operations did, and the people had their bits and pieces snipped and stitched probably did, but I didn't know until I heard the President of General Surgeons talking to Mike this morning. In times of surge, apparently, weekend theatres are cranked up in a bid to reduce the number of people on waiting lists. And it seems

Inflation has defied many expectations by falling in the third quarter. Figures show it rose 5.6% in the year to September, a drop from 6.0% in the year to June. The Reserve Bank had predicted it would be six%, and many economists picked between 6.1-and-6.2%. Herald Business Editor at Large, Liam Dann, told Kerre Woodham that it shows the Reserve Bank is making the right moves. He says monetary policy is obviously working and getting people to put their wallets away. LISTEN ABOVE See

The Council of Trade Unions is hoping the new Government will be more responsive to their needs. The CTU want to see the new government's plans for infrastructure, solving child poverty, and post-cyclone recovery. They believe the loss of fair pay agreements will impact many industries, such as those working in hospitality.

In the lead up to the election, National was clear that they would be rolling back a number of policies that Labour introduced, including fair pay agreements. Business NZ has called for the fair pay agreement to be scrapped sooner rather than later, and they would also like to see 90-day trials reintroduced, and a commitment to a long-term programme of infrastructure.

The weekend. Discuss. No there's more than that isn’t there? What a weekend. I owe my texter Muz from Hawkes Bay a bottle of Pinot of his choice. He said that it would be a walkover, that it would be absolutely obvious that National would do well and that they would have partners to support them. I thought the election would be a bit closer, a bit tighter. But ultimately, although it wasn't a complete rejection of the left, it was an absolute decimation of Labour. Not as bad as 2014, but jolly

I had no desire to watch that debate last night. What was the point? I'd interviewed both leaders within the past week. I'd had the ability, as had you, to hear their vision for the country over an hour (commercial hour of course, I know you grumble about the ads). What they thought they could do right, what they thought the others were doing wrong. Rather than spend an hour watching two tired men snipe away at each other, I would much rather have spent it with my family, reading books, playing

If you listen to Labour's ads, and you can't really avoid them right now as we lead up to final days of the election. If you listen to Labour's ads, you'll be able to go in and make an appointment to get all that dental work you can't afford right now done, once the dentists open up at 7am next Monday. If Labour become the next Government. Wrong. Taxpayer-funded dental work is going to only going to be for the under 30s. It only kicks in at the next election in 2026, three years away, and it

The 2023 election campaign is entering its final days. With just three days left Labour and National have both descended into negative campaigning as they scrap for every last vote. NZ Herald’s Deputy Political Editor, Thomas Coughlan, told Kerre Woodham that at the end of the campaign, they’ll tally the time they spent talking about each other versus the time they spent discussing their own policies.

Still more election news. It just gets weirder every day really. The death of a respected and much loved community member in Port Waikato means a quirk of our election process will be triggered. The ACT party's Neil Christensen has died just a week before the election. And that means the electorate vote in Port Waikato will not count on Election Day, however, the party vote will still count. Now a by-election will be held after the election. That will mean there are 121 MPs in parliament after

This time next week, this time next Monday, we'll have all had our say and the Government who will lead the country for the next three years will have been elected, or will it? National and Labour have raised the possibility of another election if they fail to get the votes they need to form a government, if their partner parties fail to get sufficient votes to form a government. Yet more proof, as if anyone needed, that MMP is not the best form of proportional representation. Still, it's the

What an absolute mess our waters are in. Drinking water regulator Taumata Arowai has put 27 councils on notice to have a plan and funds locked in to fix their drinking water supplies by June of next year. I was actually surprised that so many councils still have issues with their drinking water. Still haven't put in barriers to protect against the cryptosporidium and guardia that can be spread through drinking water supplies, especially given the Campylobacter outbreak in Hastings in August 2016

Water regulator Taumata Arowai has found that 27 councils, affecting more than 310,000 people, are lacking sufficient protozoa barriers. National has pledged to scrap Three Waters and deliver local water well, but what does that mean?
