The construction industry in New Zealand is struggling – with building companies going to the wall as the housing market falls away. It also has one of the highest rates of workplace injuries of any industry. But there's another workplace hazard that we're not talking about. Construction workers are six times more likely to die from suicide than from an accident at work, and last year that number climbed to 80 suspected suicides, according to one report – the highest on record. Today on The Front Page, we're joined by New Zealand Herald property editor Anne Gibson to talk  about what's going on in the sector, and how severe the mental health issue is.

The Government has moved on Auckland apartment developer Du Val Group, taking the rare step of placing it in statutory management. The move follows the group of companies being placed in interim receivership on August 2 after an application by the Financial Markets Authority. NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson says investigations are still ongoing. "We don't really know what's going on here - we know that it is complex and serious."  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government's stepped in on Auckland apartment developer the Du Val Group, placing it in statutory management. This follows Du Val Capital Partners and related companies being placed into interim receivership by the High Court earlier this month, with a police raid on the home of company founders Kenyon and Charlotte Clarke. About 120 investors have put money into the entities. So what do these moves mean for those investors, and how unprecedented is this level of response? Today on The Front Page, Herald property editor, Anne Gibson, joins us to walk us through what happened, and who was pulling the strings at Du Val.

SkyCity Auckland will close its casino for five days following a Department of Internal Affairs investigation – set to cost the company a million dollars a day. It was prompted by a complaint from a customer who gambled there between 2017 and 2021 – with 23 incidents where they were able to gamble continuously without detection. This will mark the first voluntary closure of a casino and the longest suspension of operations in a casino under the Gambling Act. NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson has been following this ongoing investigation for some time, and she joins us today on The Front Page to explain what this means for the country's largest casino.

SkyCity could be forced to cough up millions for alleged breaches of legislation on money laundering. The Department of Internal Affairs is accusing SkyCity of violating the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering Financing of Terrorism Act, after a company review. NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson says SkyCity will be more concerned about the hits to their reputation, over a prospective fine. "This is quite damaging to them, it's not so much about the fine- if there is one." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The skylines of our cities are starting to change. Slowly but surely, new high-rise housing developments are cropping up all over Auckland.  From built-to-rent schemes, to luxury hotels, to developer-iwi partnerships, there's a wide variety of projects underway, all with different markets in mind.  Something they all have in common, though, is that they signal a move away from suburban sprawl, to a new type of city living.  So what are the main projects opening this year, how affordable will they be, and in a booming market, why are some struggling to make it to their open homes?   NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson joins The Front Page to look at how apartment developments could dominate the property market in 2024.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Today is officially the 160th anniversary of the New Zealand Herald. Listen in to hear a bevy of birthday well-wishers including Chris Hipkins, John Key, Theresa Gattung, comedians Jono and Ben, journalist Patrick Gower, broadcaster and restaurant reviewer Jesse Mulligan, One NZ CEO Jason Paris, and finance columnist Mary Holm. The publication has survived through and witnessed two world wars, earthquakes and more than a few recessions. But it also captured many of our proudest moments: from Kate Sheppard's quest for suffrage to Sir Edmund Hillary's conquest of Everest. The Herald has been there through it all, telling our stories and reflecting on the people of Aotearoa. So what comes next for a title that has become part of the cultural fabric? And what tales will be told over the next 160 years? Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald managing editor Murray Kirkness, property editor Anne Gibson and data journalist Julia Gabel join us to offer a glimpse of what was and comes next for what some have called The Royal New Zealand Herald.

Property is the biggest investment most of us will make in our lives – and it's often the biggest expense we face on a monthly basis. With a change in Government, property rules will invariably shift as politicians look to deliver on the promises they made to voters.  These changes will lead to winners and losers across the country as the balance of power swings in a different direction.  So what does a National-led Government mean for renters, first-home buyers, state house residents and property investors? And how could Act and NZ First influence what our property rules might look like in the coming years?   Today, NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson, is on The Front Page, to give Damien a glimpse at what's headed our way.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Nearly 600,000 rental properties across New Zealand are home to 1.3 million tenants.  The relationship between those renters and landlords hangs in the balance.   Under the current Labour Government, we've seen a number of strong protections come in to give renters more certainty.   But now, both National and Act are promising to reverse some of those restrictions and in doing so return more power to the landlords.   Today, NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson joins Damien to break down the policy differences between the parties and explains why even small changes could drastically shift the balance of power.

SkyCity Entertainment Group could soon have the operator license for their three casinos suspended if the Department of Internal Affairs has its way.  It all stems from a complaint related to just a single customer, but this move has already had a huge impact on their share price – and, if the suspension goes ahead, it could be even more damaging.   So how unprecedented is this move, and how does it add to woes the company is already facing after troubles in Australia?  Today on The Front Page, we're joined by NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson to discuss the uncertain future ahead for our biggest casino operator.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Waiwera Thermal Resort was once filled with sound of splashing water and laughing families enjoying a much-needed day out.   Those happy sounds have been replaced by an eerie silence, with the entire complex sitting empty for the last six years.    Waiwera's facilities have collapsed into disrepair in the long wait for a buyer who never came. And now, left with little other choice, it will all be demolished.    So how did this tourism favourite fall so quickly, and is there a warning here for other businesses?  Today on The Front Page, Damien is joined by NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson to get the inside story on the Auckland icon that became a wasteland.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

One of the country's biggest developments is currently underway in south Auckland. Over 50 hectares of fields are being transformed into a new city the size of Napier – it's called Drury East. The new project is set to house tens of thousands of people when it's completed.   What can we expect from the country's newest city, and how will it help ease Auckland's burgeoning population growing pains?  NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson shares the backstory behind Drury East.  Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

A house, once owned by the Sultan of Brunei, in the affluent Auckland suburb of Herne Bay has become the centre of a dispute with community residents divided over whether the new owners should be allowed to build a boatshed. Some wealthy backers have come out in support of the plan, while others reckon it would be an eyesore. So why do people care so much about what wealthy people are doing in their backyards? Will this boatshed end up being built? And do communities even stand a chance going up against these well-resourced individuals? NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson is on The Front Page today to talk about what we can and can't build in our backyards.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

The Pacifica has become a familiar part of Auckland's skyline.  With 57 floors spread across 178 metres, it is the country's tallest apartment building.   But in recent weeks, it's gained a reputation for more sordid details, including concerns over air conditioners, fire sprinklers – and a mysterious vibrating device.   As more apartment buildings sprout up across the country – and many Kiwis look to them as a way of owning their own property – are the concerns around the Pacifica a warning sign to potential buyers?  Today, NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson takes us into the bowels of this troubled tower.   Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

The appeal of having a vista overlooking the city can come at cost. Dramatic photographs of a cliff slide under a Stanley Point home captured the full peril of having a home built on the edge. Warnings from experts that extreme weather events will become more common have so far not dissuaded those living in these beautiful cliffside homes from moving. In fact, some of these homes were only built recently. So, why are people allowed to build in these areas? Is it time for the rules to change? And will the insurance sector stop taking on the risk of covering these homes? Today, Damien asks NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson what danger the future holds for Aotearoa's cliff dwellers.

A spate of recent accidents has drawn attention to the dangers of working in the construction industry.   Amputations, explosions, electrocutions and a number of other horrific events have all shown why construction consistently rates as one of the most dangerous jobs in the country.  So why are these tragic events continue to happen? Is New Zealand's safety management up to scratch? And is our 'she'll be right' culture undermining progress?

The Shareholders Association, and Fletcher Building investors with a $35 million stake, plan to meet the chief executive and chairman to discuss the Gib supply crisis on Friday.Sam Stubbs of Simplicity Living said he plans a "frank, positive discussion" about how the company is looking after shareholders in the midst of the shortage.A meeting with Fletcher chief executive Ross Taylor and chairman Bruce Hassall is planned."Default KiwiSaver provider Simplicity and the NZ Shareholders Association are meeting with the Fletcher Building chair and CEO this week, to discuss the Gib supply crisis," said a statement from Stubbs, association chief executive Oliver Mander and Shane Brealey, also of Simplicity."Simplicity owns $35m of Fletcher Building shares on behalf of its members, representing 0.8 per cent of issued shares," the statement said.Last week Simplicity cancelled all contracts to buy Gib for its first 550 affordable homes in Auckland.It offered to share details on how to import high-quality substitutes and has already received more than 60 inquiries from developers and builders.They range from New Zealand's biggest group home builders to family-run developers, all over New Zealand."The number of inquiries in such a short time confirms that this is a nationwide crisis," Brealey said.The association is also attending the meeting, given its long-standing concerns regarding the governance of Fletcher Building."We're concerned about the political and reputational impacts caused by the Gib supply issue on the sustainability of shareholder returns," said association chief executive Oliver Mander.Stubbs said he hoped the meeting would be open and constructive."As a customer of Fletcher Building, we have voted with our feet and cancelled all future Gib orders and as a shareholder, we want to understand how they can better deliver for all stakeholders," he said.The meeting is scheduled for this Friday.Taylor said the company understood people's views.Fletcher has a three-pronged strategy to ease the crisis: running its mills 24/7, working with merchants to create a fair distribution of supply, and opening a new $400m plant at Tauriko, Tauranga.- Anne Gibson, NZ HeraldSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In recent weeks, numerous construction companies and developers have folded amid the pressures plaguing the building industry. Bay of Plenty’s Oceanside Homes, two South Auckland developers and Wellington’s Armstrong Downes Commercial have all gone down. Why are businesses in the booming construction industry struggling to make ends meet? And is the dominance of a few large companies bringing down smaller players?

Fletcher Building exceeded its own forecast by earning 47 per cent more operating profit in the latest half-year, rising from $219 million to $323m.New Zealand's biggest building construction and materials manufacturing business had forecast making $305m to $320m but came in $3m above the top end of its own range.Revenue was up from $3.96b to $3.98b, net profit after tax up 48 per cent from $82m to $121m and shareholders will get an interim dividend of 12 cents per share, paid on March 24.Fletcher Building chief executive Ross Taylor said: "The strong result reflects good progress made on our strategy to drive consistent performance and growth. The improved earnings and profitability are the outcome of initiatives undertaken over the past three years to improve operating disciplines and efficiencies across the group.Group cash flows from operating activities of $428m were significantly higher than the $5m outflow in the prior period, resulting from a higher EBIT and a material improvement in working capital. Group EBIT margins improved to 8.1 per cent from 5.5 per cent with improvement across all operating divisions."We have seen a broadly stable market environment. Growth in the New Zealand residential sector has been offset by softer demand in Commercial and mixed conditions in infrastructure in both New Zealand and Australia. In all businesses, we have remained focused on executing our strategy, especially improving the underlying disciplines and efficiencies of our operations. The sustainable improvement in margins was achieved through pricing disciplines; targeted share gains; consolidation and automation of manufacturing and supply chains; and a more efficient overhead cost base," Taylor said.Market factors contributed 15 per cent of the group's EBIT rise but the other 85 per cent came from "strategic improvements in operating efficiency", Taylor said.In mid-2018, he announced a five-year plan to transform the company and indicated today the result was paying off.Shareholders will get the 12cps dividend due to the better performance."The board is pleased to declare an interim dividend of 12 cents per share. Given the strength of the group's performance and balance sheet, the company has been able to put in place an updated banking agreement with its lenders which allows the company to pay an interim dividend and retains the more favourable covenant levels until June 2021. The board also expects to be in a position to approve a final FY21 dividend," Taylor said.Rohan Koreman-Smit and Ashton Olds of Forsyth Barr said in a pre-result analysis that they expected a strong set of results underpinned by resilient New Zealand residential activity and a material cost base reset.They forecast 1H21 revenue at $4.02b, up 1.6 per cent from the previous corresponding period of 1H20 of $3.9b. EBIT was forecast to rise from last year's $219m to $308m, underlying profit from $107m to $178m but no dividend was forecast.At Fletcher's AGM in November, Taylor told shareholders that the first six months looked promising."The trading update also showed we are making good progress on improving the operating performance across all of our businesses. Through the first four months we saw group revenues up slightly by 1 per cent, group EBIT of $227m up $80 million, group EBIT margin up 2.9 percentage points to 8.4 per cent due to improved operating efficiency, and our cash flows and balance sheet remain strong with net debt at $388m and available liquidity at $1.4b as at October 31, 2020," he said then.Fletcher has been trading on the NZX at around $6.44, up $1.20 or 23 per cent in the last year, giving it a market capitalisation of $5.3b. On the ASX, it is at A$5.98, up on November's A$5.33.text by Anne Gibson, NZ Herald

Tenants rights could be strengthened soon.The Residential Tenancies Amendment Bill is due for its second reading in the House tomorrow.It will end no-cause evictions, meaning landlords' must offer more robust reasons for getting rid of tenants.Herald property editor Anne Gibson told Kerre McIvor it's a pathway towards creating tenants for life - similar to New Zealand's employment laws."People are embedded in the community. Why should they be told '90 days, you're out, and we don't have to give a reason'?"Last week, Kris Faafoi, associate Housing Minister, vowed the change would become law shortly."It is still the Government's intention to see the RTA reforms passed in the term of this Parliament," said a Faafoi spokesman when asked if the overhaul would be passed in this Parliamentary term before the September 19 election.LISTEN ABOVE

Each week the NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's what you should expect from the housing market, and how to adapt to it. Hosted by Frances Cook.Your house may be your castle, but it's also the biggest investment many of us will make, and it comes with the commitment of mortgage debt. So as we try to ride out the severe shockwaves from Covid-19, you won't be surprised to learn the current situation is also a gamechanger for housing. For one thing, unemployment is going up, and every time that happens house prices tend to go down.With tourism stopped, AirBnB is a nonstarter. Many former hosts are either switching to go into the long-term rental market, or opting out entirely and putting the property up for sale. Either of those would be a big force for change on their own, but now we have that and many other issues forcing change all at the same time.So let's rip the bandaid off and start with the bad news, although I promise there is some good news in this, so stick with us. For the latest Cooking the Books I talked to Herald property editor Anne Gibson.We discussed what's happening with housing in lockdown, what experts are forecasting for the future, and what this means for both first home buyers and current property owners.

Each week The Front Page takes you behind the scenes of the biggest story from the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB. Today it's the proposed changes to fix the homes we live in. Hosted by Frances Cook.Rental property law is a bone of contention currently, with proposed changes to how the system works. It could have a huge impact on people's lives, as there's about 600,000 rental homes in New Zealand, and 1.5 million of us live in them. The Government has announced a raft of possible changes, which if passed would be the biggest changes to tenancy laws since 1986. Landlords are nervous, and particularly pushing back on the idea of scrapping "no-cause terminations" - the ability to tell tenants they need to leave without giving a reason. But it's not just rentals, there is also problems with our housing stock more generally. The latest Stats NZ data shows mould is a problem in more than a third of NZ homes. It is more prevalent in rental homes than owner-occupied. For the latest Front Page podcast I talked to Herald journalists Anne Gibson and Ben Leahy. We discussed what the debated changes would mean for New Zealanders, if the tenancy tribunal needs more teeth, and how to make sure housing isn't hurting our health. For the interviews, listen to the podcast.

Each week The Front Page takes you behind the scenes of the biggest story from the New Zealand Herald and Newstalk ZB. Today it's why the SkyCity fire raged so far out of control, and what to expect next. Hosted by Frances Cook.A shocking blaze at the $700m SkyCity convention centre has brought Auckland to a standstill, with 150 firefighters battling the fire at its peak. As the fire raged, smoke filled the central business district, with many reporting sore throats, burning eyes, and coughing. The fire is now under control, but firefighters say they expect to be at the site for days, dampening down hotspots. How on earth could this fire rage out of control in modern times, and how bad will this be for our economy?To answer common questions the newsroom was sent during the fire, Anna Leask and Anne Gibson came on The Front Page podcast. We discussed what made the fire so challening to put out, whether there were problems with the building construction, and how far into the millions the damage could go.

Hosted by Frances Cook.When people are trying to get onto the property ladder, they're often told to think outside the box.Sure, you might have grown up in a standard three-bedroom house surrounded by garden, but that's unlikely to be what you can afford when you're trying to get into that elusive first home. Or frankly maybe you just don't want that, even if you have the budget to consider it. Maybe the allure of inner-city living has you thinking about an apartment. Or keeping your weekends free for fun rather than mowing lawns has you thinking about a townhouse. There are all sorts of different property types out there, each with their own price point, and lifestyle. But before you decide which one you want, you need to know some serious pros and cons for each. For the latest Cooking the Books episode I talked to Anne Gibson, Herald property editor, and David Whitburn, a property investor and developer. We discussed the pros and cons of houses, townhouses, terraced houses and apartments. If you have a question about this podcast, or question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.

Fight Club is riddled with commentary on modern society, and it's explosive ending suggested a main character with schizophrenia or dissociative identity disorder. But is the movie's depiction of multiple personalities accurate or even fair? Neuroscientist Jenifer Einstein joins us in this season finale to help us understand these disorders, the psychology of economics, what the heck synaptic plasticity means, and how she would fund her own "Project Mayhem." **Follow Jenifer on Twitter! @AerialNeuroSci Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Cinema Science was graciously funded by the University of Utah Neuroscience Initiative.

With our ever evolving technology, Black Mirror addresses the potential dark future of our society's relationship with advanced technology. We discuss "all the cool dark science" (as Anne puts it) in this television series. Dr. Marsa Taheri helps us understand the difference between artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, how a robot could creep us out, and what technology presented in Black Mirror she would most likely use and stay away from.  Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Cinema Science was graciously funded by the University of Utah Neuroscience Initiative.

This is the first episode in a two-part special on neurotoxins! We watched Toxic Shark, a trashterpiece comparable to Sharknado. Peter joins us to help us better understand the difference between poison vs venom, how he'd become best friends with an immortal snail bro, what toxins can do to your brain, and his endless supply of puns!

The Walking Dead portrays the complexities of life following a zombie apocalypse. Naturally, chaos ensues, but how dangerous are zombies... really? Evan teaches us about zombie-like diseases that occur in real life, why zombies eat, what to do if you see a drooling deer, and how he would survive a zombie apocalypse. Diseases discussed include: mad cow disease, Dengue, tetanus toxin, rabies, and cerebral malaria.

James Cameron's epic science fiction film Avatar was a breakthrough in 3D technology when it was released. In it, Jake Sully is a parapalegic former marine who takes control of an Avatar to explore a planet that is essentially a... brain. In this episode, Deeptha joins us to help us learn about spinal cords, what happens when they become damaged, how closely related we are to zebrafish, and whether or not you can (and should) make a tiger avatar. We also debate whether Heidi should continue creating an avatar in her basement or switch to making an exoskeleton out of washing machine parts.   To learn more, check out our website: cinemasciencepodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Cinema Science was graciously funded by the University of Utah Neuroscience Initiative.

If they hear you, they hunt you. We watched the movie A Quiet Place in which a post-apocalyptic world of silence is overrun by creatures that hunt using sound. A bearded-John Krasinski and his family navigate this quiet world, surviving games of Monopoly, grain silos, and babies. Bioengineering Graduate Student Marta Iversen joins us to help us understand how we hear, how hearing aids and cochlear implants work, and how hearing compares to a cat.

Rick and Morty: Rick Potion #9, Rick creates a love serum for Morty to use at the school dance; as per usual, a mantis-disaster occurs leading to a world of hurt and destruction. Rick confesses the delicate balance of designing a love potion, but what does neuroscientist Joshua Barrios think? In this episode, Josh talks about monogamous voles, whether petting your dog can cause oxytocin release, and what combination of species' DNA he would use to create the most dangerous animal possible.

Because our first season is all about the brain, it's no surprise that we would ultimately watch Lucy. This movie stems from the myth that living creatures use 10% of their brain, and unlocking the rest of the brain results in reality-altering abilities. Neuroscientist Danielle Giangrasso helps us understand how much of our brain we use, whether we can manipulate our "brain capacity," and whether or not Morgan Freeman actually knows how to apply the scientific method.  To learn more, check out our website: cinemasciencepodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Interested in SciComm science writing?

Christopher Nolan’s Inception ignited a worldwide debate on spinning tops and made us question our dream security. Neuroscience graduate student Kyle Jenks joins us to reveal what our brain is doing while we sleep, why we dream, how we study sleep in the laboratory, and who he would incept, given the chance.  To learn more, check out our website: cinemasciencepodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Interested in SciComm science writing?

We watched Men in Black, an unforgettable movie that caused 90s kids everywhere to question whether or not their parents are aliens. Graduate student Ariadne Penalva teaches us how we store and retrieve memories, why it's hard to forget that embarrassing thing you did 10 years ago, and whether or not neurolyzers can erase your memory of an alien.  Check out our website for more information: cinemasciencepodcast.com Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Co-Hosted and Edited by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Interested in SciComm science writing?

Aliens (Xenomorphs) and Predators (Yautjas) have been battling each other for thousands of years, resulting in an evolutionary arms race. For whatever reason, humans find themselves in the middle of this war and are the clear loser. Special guest Andrew Moran joins us to explore the sensory biology of these species and we debate which alien reigns supreme in the Alien vs Predator (AVP) franchise!  Follow us on Twitter: @CinemaSciCast Theme Music by Kagan Breitenbach, @krbreitenbach Edited by Eli Ramsey, @TheVikingBear__ Co-Hosted by Heidi Febinger, @PandaBumHah Co-Hosted by Anne Gibson, @HubbleGibson Interested in SciComm science writing?

In this episode of Cinema Science, we watched Gattaca, a science fiction movie from 1997 that asks the question: what if we could alter our destiny with a little genetic engineering? Sasha Luks-Morgan helps us understand how exactly genetic editing works, what the heck CRISPR stands for, and whether or not we can actually splice super powers into our DNA.

We watched Drunken Master, and worshiped Jackie Chan’s comedic kung fu youthfulness. In this episode of Cinema Science, Andrew Taibi demonstrates that he is not only the biggest kung fu fan in the world, but he’s also incredibly knowledgeable in traumatic brain injury (TBI) and alcohol. How do they affect your fighting technique and your brain?

Welcome to Cinema Science!! Neuroscience graduate students Heidi Febinger and Anne Gibson chat with their grad school buddies about their favorite movies, games, and tv shows in this podcast. The show is sprinkled with science, but it's mostly just a rare moment of relaxation for these scientists. New episodes will be released every other Tuesday. Season 1 is all about the brain!

Each week the NZ Herald and Newstalk ZB's Cooking The Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's whether it's about to get easier to buy your own home. Hosted by Frances Cook.First home buyers will be crossing their fingers and toes that relief is on the horizon, with the Labour Government working on plans to ban foreign buyers from our housing market.It's a strong move, designed to ease the pressure that's seen home ownership slip out of the reach of ordinary New Zealanders.It's one that appeals to me at first blush. Keep New Zealand homes for New Zealanders, not some foreign landlord that makes us tenants in our own country.It's simple supply and demand; if you reduce the competition for a house, down from the whole world, to just New Zealanders, the prices will surely fall.But the devil is always in the detail with these issues, and housing is a particularly devilish issue.We still need new homes built here, and some say this move will stop the foreign investment that drives big projects like apartment blocks.It could also cause problems for companies trying to go about the business that keeps many of us employed, and the economy ticking over.I talked to NZ Herald property editor Anne Gibson about whether banning foreign buyers would actually help New Zealanders buy their own homes.We discussed what the ban is likely to include, the possible drawbacks for businesses and development, and what difference first home buyers will notice.For the episode, listen to the podcast.If you have a question about this podcast, or an idea for the next one, come and talk to me about it.
