The number of business going belly up are in record numbers. In the six months to the end of June there been 594 applications to wind up businesses that owe money that's a six year high. IRD enforced liquidations made up more than 70% of applications last month. For the past two years IRD insolvency applications have outstripped all other creditors combined as the Department applies more pressure for failing businesses to cough up tax debts. Partner at specialist insolvency firm McDonald Vague Keaton Pronk spoke to Lisa Owen.

A former IRD prosecutor is calling for changes to the student loan system so that Kiwis living overseas aren't put off coming home because they're worried about being arrested at the border. In April, interest rates for overseas borrowers was lifted from 3.9% to 4.9% and the late payment interest rate for all borrowers to 8.9%. Tax barrister Dave Ananth says this is putting people off returning to New Zealand at a time we should be encouraging skilled people to come home. Bella Craig reports.

Some former students now living overseas have told Checkpoint they are too scared to come home because they could be arrested for being behind in payments, with heavy penalties adding up. Students loans are interest free unless people head off shore for more than 6 months. In April the interest rate went up to 4.9% and the late payment interest rate for all borrowers is 8.9%. IRD emailed more than three and half thousand student loan defaulters earlier this year warning them they are being monitored, and could face additional enforcement including arrest at the border. One expert doesnt think IRD's tactics are working. Tax specialist Terry Baucher spoke to Lisa Owen.

They are among New Zealand's lowest paid employees. The wages of home and community support workers, who look after the country's elderly, typically max out about $29 an hour. They also use their own vehicles to travel between jobs and, while they're reimbursed for that, it's at an amount significantly less than IRD recommends for personal vehicle use. The issue was part of a pay equity claim by the female dominated workforce, who consider themselves underpaid in comparison to those dominated by men. That's now off the table after the government changed the law last month. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

In a world of pressing problems one of the bigger, longer term ones is due a good looking at because if we don't, when we get there we will want to shoot ourselves. IRD has been looking at the cost of stuff and where that money comes from. The trouble, and this is not new, is we have more older people needing more money and fewer younger people to work to raise the money to pay the bills. This is more than Super. It's health. It's pretty much everything. Currently 16% of the population is over 65-years-old. By 2060 it will be a quarter. The IRD conclusion is that people will likely have to pay more tax. Really? Is that it? Well, no. Somewhere in the advice they mutter something like "we could always cut costs". Bingo! Give those people a prize. And why that idea is not top of the pile of ideas, I don't know. Because here is what I do know. Most of the money to pay for all this comes from you and me. Personal tax is over 50% of Government income, its 52%. Companies pay 17%. GST is 25%. A lot of GST is us as well. In fact our top tax rate is 39cents. Add GST on to that you are at 54%. Add the bits and pieces on top - the ACC, the road user charges - and top income earners will be parting with 56-57% of everything they earn. And the IRD advice is we will need more please. So how much more? And at what point does it become ruinous? At what point do the young, bright things move offshore? The ones of course that haven't already. So let's take stock. We are highly taxed. Remember at the other end we have no tax free component in income. We are a low wage economy. We have a massive savings issue with KiwiSaver at an average of $30,000-ish and a fiscal cliff in a bunch of years where the main idea is we will bleed you some more. Spot the red flag. So, what to do? And how urgently do we do it? Ideas please. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A draft Inland Revenue briefing supports lifting the GST rate if required - and notes tax credits could help people on lower incomes. The IRD briefing also brought up the lack of a capital gains tax, but did not endorse any specific view on it. Tax expert Geof Nightingale told Heather du Plessis-Allan that lifting GST is a fast and efficient way to raise revenue. But he says while quick, it's much harder on lower-income people.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How do you feel about the prospect of paying higher income tax rates and more GST? I think it's inevitable. So does the Inland Revenue Department. Because of our ageing population. Especially if people think we can have a whole lot more of us 65 and over —which is going to happen— and still provide the same level of assistance and support that is provided now. So IRD is making its case for more tax in what's called its “Long-term Insights Briefing”, which puts ideas on the table for governments to consider and to help the country plan for the future. It's saying cutting costs is one way, but it would be much better to generate more government revenue. To collect more tax. Which I agree with. It's saying today that the future is uncertain, and we need a tax system that can be changed relatively easily, which is why it's focusing on income tax and GST. Because those taxes already exist. Income tax makes up 52% of the tax take and GST accounts for 25%. So there's nearly 80% of the total tax take covered just through PAYE and GST. Company tax, by the way, accounts for just 17% of the tax take. Here are a few more numbers which IRD is using to justify more tax money coming in to cope with the ageing population. At the moment, 16% of us are 65-and-over. But we're on our way to, eventually, having a quarter of our population 65 and older and somehow, we have to pay for that. Because as the Infrastructure Commission pointed out this week, we're going to need less schools and more hospitals. But as we know, hospitals are a lot more expensive than schools and we're going to have to find the money somehow. IRD isn't giving any specific numbers. So it isn't saying what it thinks GST could or should be increased to. Likewise, it's not saying anything about what income tax rates could be increased to. It's just saying that we need to get used to the idea of paying more. Which is another demonstration, isn't it, of how the Government made a mistake reducing the amount of tax revenue it gets. Because I know it talked about us paying less tax and reducing costs at the same time. But running a country costs money, you can only cut costs to a certain point. And when you throw an ageing population into the mix —and the costs that come with that— we all have no option but to chip in a bit more money to pay for it all.

You know what I'm not going to miss? The census. If there anything that showed how bad Governments can be at embracing technology, it was the census. At a time when Governments collect huge amounts of electronic data about us, it seemed ridiculous that they were also asking us to fill out a paper form and send it in. They already know what we're earning, the IRD has that. They already know how many babies are being born and how many of us are dying and how many of us getting hitched - Births, Deaths and Marriages has that. They already know how many of us are leaving the country and coming into the country, that's collected too. They know how many one, two or three bedroom houses there are, that's all collected already. And yet - they were asking us to tell them that all again on the census form. Which made the exercise a giant waste of money. The last one cost $325 million and the next one was going to cost $400 million. Now I accept that there is information we will lose. Because as far as I know, no Government department collects information on how many languages you speak or what your sexuality is or what your first language is or how many people live in your house. So yes, by scrapping the census, we will end up with an incomplete set of data. But we already have an incomplete set of data because of the huge numbers of us that didn't fill it in. In 2018, we didn't count one in six Kiwis. That's not complete at all. So either way, we won't know anything. Except one way was going to cost us $400 million. Scrapping the census was way overdue.

Inland Revenue's cracking down on unpaid tax bills. It's been allocated an extra $35 million in Budget 25 to boost its tax compliance and collection activities. The tax department expects to return an additional $4 for every dollar in the first year, and $8 in year two. IRD Commissioner Peter Mersi told Mike Hosking it's hard to estimate how much tax is owed across the board. He says they don't really know the size of the gap, but believes it's around $9 billion.

In this episode of the BroadEye Podcast, hosts Shawn Maloney and Dr. Bruno Fernandes welcome Prof. Michel Michaelides, one of the most active clinical researchers in ophthalmology today. Prof. Michaelides leads a large inherited retinal disease clinic—seeing 30–40 children and adults each week—and splits her time between patient care, advanced imaging research, and steering more than ten ongoing clinical trials.   Why This Matters Inherited retinal diseases affect hundreds of thousands worldwide, and for most there is still no approved treatment. Over the past two years, we've seen multiple Phase 1/2 gene-therapy trials move into registrational studies, alongside novel antioxidant approaches and AI-driven biomarkers. Today's conversation cuts through the jargon to give you a clear picture of where the field stands—and where it's headed.   Key Takeaways Beyond RPE65: While Luxturna paved the way, newer AAV-based therapies for X-linked RP (RPGR) and other targets are now in Phase 2 and Phase 3 trials, with early data showing promising safety and efficacy. Imaging & Function: Prof. Michaelides is pioneering next-generation retinal imaging devices and novel functional assays to capture meaningful changes in vision—critical for shortening trial timelines. Antioxidant Strategies: High-dose N-acetylcysteine trials are under way, offering a non-viral approach to slow photoreceptor degeneration across multiple genetic subtypes. AI in Stratification: Machine-learning algorithms on retinal scans can help predict progression rate and identify the best candidates for specific therapies, improving both trial design and patient outcomes. Balancing Dose & Safety: Finding the sweet spot between transgene expression and immune activation remains a core challenge—Prof. Michaelides shares lessons learned from dose-escalation cohorts. Phase 3 & Beyond: With over a hundred patients enrolled in pivotal studies, we're closing in on potential approvals—but long-term follow-up and real-world evidence will determine ultimate impact.   About the Guest Prof. Michelle Michaelides is a clinician-scientist specializing in inherited retinal diseases. She leads dedicated adult and pediatric IRD clinics, oversees the development of advanced imaging and functional biomarkers, and serves as principal investigator on over ten clinical trials spanning gene therapies, antioxidant agents, and AI-guided stratification tools. Prof. Michaelides regularly lectures at international conferences and collaborates with industry and academic partners to accelerate the translation of research into real-world treatments.

Une étude génétique révèle les secrets des origines et du goût du café le plus consommé dans le monde, apparu il y a 600 000 ans en Afrique de l'Est, et désormais vulnérable au réchauffement climatique. (Rediffusion) Des dizaines d'espèces de café poussent sur la planète, mais seules deux finissent dans vos tasses : le robusta et surtout l'arabica, qui représente 60% de la production mondiale de café, parce qu'il est le meilleur. Le robusta est le père de l'arabica, né en Éthiopie il y a 600 000 ans, comme vient de le préciser une étude génétique internationale menée par une soixantaine de scientifiques et publiée en avril 2024.« Le robusta s'est hybridé avec une autre espèce d'Afrique de l'Est, l'eugenoides, pour former l'arabica, détaille Valérie Poncet, chercheuse à l'Institut de recherche pour le développement (IRD, à Montpellier), qui a participé à cette étude. Il s'agit d'une hybridation spontanée. Certains pensent que c'est un événement unique, ce qui est encore à discuter. »Faible diversité génétiqueGrâce à l'étude du génome de l'arabica et de ses deux espèces parentales, on sait aussi pourquoi Coffea arabica a un tel succès. « C'est l'une des questions qu'on s'est posée, relève Valérie Poncet : comment l'arabica, issu du robusta, un café plus amer, a un goût aussi fin et équilibré ? En réalité, aucun des deux sous-génomes hérités de ses parents ne domine l'autre. »L'arabica est né par hasard il y a 600 000 ans, et c'est assez peu à l'échelle du vivant, ce qui explique la faible diversité génétique d'une plante qui doit son nom à la péninsule arabique – c'est au Yémen que l'Homme a lancé sa diffusion, sa mondialisation. « On dit par exemple qu'une seule plante a été introduite en Haïti, avant d'être ensuite cultivée en Amérique du Sud. Ce qui fait qu'on a très peu de diversité génétique, donc finalement très peu de potentiel de résistance aux maladies, également très peu de potentiel adaptatif vis-à-vis du changement climatique », souligne la généticienne Valérie Poncet.Un café qui aime le froidLe réchauffement climatique menace l'arabica, une plante qui apprécie les nuits fraîches. « L'arabica est originaire des hauts plateaux d'Éthiopie, à une forte altitude, alors que le robusta est originaire essentiellement d'Afrique de l'Ouest et d'Afrique centrale, à des altitudes très basses, précise Romain Guyot, également chercheur à l'IRD et co-auteur de l'étude. L'arabica a besoin de températures plus faibles pendant la nuit, et s'il y a un degré de plus durant la nuit, on va perdre jusqu'à 200 kilos de café marchand à l'hectare, ce qui est énorme, notamment pour les petits producteurs. »Mais ce qui est énorme également, c'est le coût environnemental du café, établi par le WWF, le Fond mondial pour la nature : 140 litres d'eau pour une simple tasse !

Inland Revenue says attitudes are shifting among student loan holders living overseas. More than $200 million has been collected from overseas borrowers since July last year – a big annual increase. More than 24,000 people are thought to be overseas, collectively owing $1.3 billion on loans going back more than 15 years. IRD's Jane Elley told Kerre Woodham since they received additional funding they've been able to ramp up their workforce, enabling them to be a lot more targeted when chasing debt. Her advice to anyone struggling with their loan is to get in contact with the IRD – ignoring the problem only makes it bigger. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this spirit of taking the good news where we find it, I was absolutely delighted to see the results of Inland Revenue going after student loan defaulters. At the end of April, there were 113,733 people with student loans believed to be based overseas. If you're based overseas, you don't get the student loan automatically taken out of your pay packet. Overseas, it's up to you to make repayments, and more than 70% of those are in default on their loans – so it's up to them to make the repayments. Despite the extraordinarily expensive tertiary education they receive, they don't seem to understand what a loan is. They owe $2.3 billion, of which more than $1 billion is penalties and interest. Even if you wiped the penalties that is still $1 billion, owing to the taxpayer. We paid for the lion's share of the education, around 70% of the true cost of the education, they took out a loan which was paid for by the taxpayer, and $1 billion is owing to us. For about 24,000 of these overseas based borrowers, the debt is more than 15 years old. Inland Revenue has collected more than $207 million in repayments since July last year from student loan borrowers living overseas, and that's 43% up on the same period the previous year. And the reason for the sudden flurry of productivity and getting the money back? Inland Revenue was given the money, student loan compliance funding, to go after the little thieves, so they finally had the resource to be able to do it. According to Inland Revenue, they've contacted more than 12,000 borrowers – 1,320 of them have entered repayment plans, 960 have fully repaid their overdue amounts. Inland Revenue has seen a collective repayment of $9 million once they took an interest. Thank God. The department is also looking at borrowers who own property in New Zealand – there are just over 300 of them. And ever since “hello, it's Inland Revenue on the phone. We understand you owe us money. We also understand you have property in New Zealand”, shockingly, these people are suddenly able to find the money to repay the New Zealand taxpayer. So they've paid up $1.7 million. Any defaulters within the group who have refused to engage and resolve their defaults, says Inland Revenue, will see further legal enforcement taken, which may include New Zealand based bankruptcy or charging orders over their properties. They're doing the same for student loan defaulters who have investments or bank accounts receiving interest income in this country. Just watch these people suddenly come up with the money they owe once they realise Inland Revenue will be able to go sniffing around in their accounts. And as a last resort there'll be arrests at the border. This is so overdue. In the past there seems to have been a reluctance to go after overseas based student loan defaulters. What about when they all flocked back to New Zealand during the Covid times? That was the perfect time to collect the money owed. It is a kindness to the borrowers to keep that student loan debt at the front of their minds. If you can forget about a big debt, if there are other people screaming at you for money who are up in your grills, you'll park it and put it to one side and think I'll do that when I get a bonus at work, or I'll do that one day, and then it gets so big that it becomes terrifying and you just don't think about it. You will remain in blissful and wilful ignorance of the monies owed, and then the penalties and interest that blow out that original loan. Keep it at the forefront of their minds. There are all sorts of arguments that have been put up by student loan thieves over the years. We're the best and the brightest. If you come after us, we won't come home. We'll keep our enormous intellects overseas. Well, you can't be that bloody bright if you don't understand what a loan is, can you? It's not a gift. It was a loan. You have to pay it back. Another argument is, “it's all right for you, your generation got free university education we had to pay for it”. Well, it was really the generation before that received free education. But back then, they really did only take the best and the brightest, numpties need not apply. Total enrolments at all universities in New Zealand was 16,524 in 1960. Today there are 177,000 university students in New Zealand. I'm quite happy to have a discussion about making unit centres of academic excellence and restricting access once again to only the very best and the brightest and pay for that education, absolutely. If we reduce it down from 177,000 to 16,000, we can afford that. Happy to have a chat about means testing but not until you do what most of us manage to do, even the most lowly qualified of us ... pay your bills and pay what you owe.

Why has it taken us so long to get serious about forcing people to pay back their student loans? Last month, IRD had someone arrested at the border. They have now paid back their loan. Isn't that amazing? They had been chased and chased and chased and chased - and you know that they had, because the IRD only arrest you at the border as an absolute last resort, but suddenly they were arrested at the border and despite presumably years of not paying back their loan - they pay it back. Isn't it incredible what a little bit of pressure can do? We've got more on this, by the way. The IRD has got in contact with more than 12,000 people who are living overseas who owe money on their student loans. 960 of them have paid back everything that was overdue, 1300 of them have started repayment plans, and 89 people have been warned they will also be arrested at the border if they don't start paying up. 11 of them, as a result of that warning, have started dealing with their debt - either by paying it back or by applying for hardship provisions. Now, why I'm telling you this is because it's nearly a year since the Government threw extra money at the IRD to chase down these bludgers. And the IRD has put out a press release with the latest figures to show that actually, yeah, putting that extra money in for the enforcement is bearing fruit. The only question we now have is - why didn't we do this earlier? I mean, it is not like this is a new problem, is it? We have complained about this for years, about these people freeloading on the ever-generous New Zealand taxpayer and then getting a free education over here, going off overseas to live their best lives, paying taxes somewhere else, helping out some other country, and then leaving us holding the baby in their debt. Now, I suspect our lack of action in the past - but I probably can't answer the question on this - comes down to a general attitude towards taxpayers, which is a lack of respect for our money. It's been treated like it's never-ending for too long. We've simply handed out to all without actually really requiring them to pay it back. We say you've got to pay it back, but we don't actually mean it. And this is not a historic problem - it's a current problem. A recent case in point is the small business COVID loans that were handed out by Grant Robertson in 2020. Unsecured, right? They are now due to be repaid. At least $800 million is outstanding and a lot of that will never be repaid. We have to get used to that idea. We handed it out and we're not gonna get it back. It is probably too much to wish for - but wouldn't it be great if we could carry on getting money back like the IRD are with student loans at the moment?

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says incomplete or wrong information from the IRD is to blame for shortfalls in the Government's FamilyBoost scheme. The tax rebate of up to $75 per week was initially touted as a $249-million-a-year handout to help with covering childcare costs. Only 1.2% of eligible families received a full subsidy. Christopher Luxon talks to Luxon about the shortfall, his experience at the Pope's funeral and time commemorating Anzac Day. LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Les têtes d'affiches de Denise Epoté de TV5 Monde, comme chaque dimanche sur RFI, aujourd'hui avec Simon Bourtembourg. Notre première tête d'affiche est originaire du Maroc : Hamza Cherkaoui est le responsable de la transformation digitale au sein de l'Autorité marocaine de la supervision des entreprises d'assurance et de réassurance et challenges IRD. La plateforme qu'il a mise au point a révolutionné la gestion des déclarations réglementaires. Une innovation qui lui a valu le deuxième prix de l'African SEO Awards dans la catégorie Innovation. Notre seconde tête d'affiche est originaire du Mali. Du haut de ses 17 ans, Ousmane Dicko dirige depuis deux ans la première entreprise nationale spécialisée dans l'automatisation du service client, fonctionnant à 100 % avec l'intelligence artificielle. Un patron atypique qui est convaincu que, grâce à l'IA, l'Afrique connaîtra une nouvelle ère entrepreneuriale.

The Finance Minister is preparing to tweak the Family Boost payment plan, admitting IRD had the wrong numbers on eligible families. Data to April 9 reveals 249 families received the maximum payment of $975 dollars a quarter - since the scheme came into effect last year. Nicola Willis had said 21,000 families were eligible when launching the policy, but now concedes the modelling was wrong. She says she wants to make sure families in need get the money. "We put aside hundreds of millions of dollars for this policy because the uptake has been lower than the IRD basically estimated - we're not on track to actually get all that money out the door."

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Donald Trump: 1/10 Complete and utter chaotic clown. You don't treat the world economy like this. Clowns: 2/10 In order: Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Pete Hegseth, and Karoline Leavitt. The IRD: 6/10 Collected close to a billion dollars in unpaid tax, simply by looking – quite a good concept! Paul Goldsmith: 6/10 Is it ingenious or worrying when you're asking the Mike Hosking Breakfast for policy ideas? Wool: 8/10 Wool deserves a break. In pure economic terms I'm not sure this is on the Government to spin the line, far less the yarn. But it's Winston's baby and he's 80-years-old today so, why not? Andrew Little: 6/10 Is he the answer for Wellington, or a retired politician looking for work?

An increase in crackdowns has paid dividends for Inland Revenue. It collected $600 million in extra taxes from 3,600 audits between July and December last year – 50% more audits than the same time period in 2023. Half of the money came from fewer than 10 audits. Deloitte Tax Partner Robyn Walker told Mike Hosking it shows the investment at the last budget was worth it, New Zealand getting $11 for every dollar invested. She says because of a previous slowdown in audits there's probably a lot of fruit to pick. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's a sneaky tax rule that could still land you with a surprise bill from the IRD, even if you've owned your investment for decades.You'll learn: What the intention test is and how it actually works Real-life examples of when it does and doesn't apply How to protect yourself from accidentally triggering a capital gains tax you didn't see coming.This is a must-listen for anyone planning to hold long-term but still wanting to cash in eventually.For more from Opes Partners:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the weekly Private Property newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠

Inland Revenue took a softer line with debt of all kinds through the Covid years, but now it's coming down hard on those who owe it money. One tax expert says there's a looming problem with GST in particular, and some companies are in a situation they can't come back from already, even though their other creditors may not know it. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds has more.

Nearly one billion dollars is still owed as the deadline for Covid-era loans approaches. Inland Revenue says many Small Business Cashflow loans will default in June if not paid off. About 130,000 businesses were issued the loans, totalling $2.4 billion. ABC Business Sales Managing Director Chris Small told Mike Hosking he's not surprised so many owners haven't paid it back yet. He says there were no personal guarantees or general security agreements, so it was a free hit for business owners. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

*This month in partnership with Choroideremia Research Foundation**Our Carrier Connections program features a different X-linked condition each month with the goal to increase awareness of X-linked conditions and how they impact the lives of women and girls.This month, we are featuring choroideremia (CHM). CHM is an X-linked disorder caused by mutations in the gene, CHM, which produces a protein that plays a critical role in the cell's ability to transport proteins and organelles within and outside of the cell. When this gene is dysfunctional, the cell can no longer support this protein escort ability, resulting in premature cell death primarily in the eyes. Typically, this condition is characterized by progressive vision loss. These symptoms may begin at any age, but tend to onset between childhood and adulthood. Females carriers of CHM have been proven to experience a spectrum of symptoms, ranging from mild to severe retinal degeneration. Today, we are featuring Dr. Sena Gocuk. Dr. Gocuk is an optometrist and postdoctoral research fellow specialising in inherited retinal diseases (IRD), with a particular focus on female carriers of X-linked IRDs. Her research explores the unique challenges female carriers face, from variability in disease expression to their underrepresentation in clinical trials. Dr. Gocuk has led innovative studies investigating retinal changes in female carriers, providing insights into emerging treatments such as gene therapy. She is an advocate for the inclusion of female carriers in research and treatment interventions, regularly sharing her findings to promote better care and access for this often-overlooked population.RESOURCES:Choroideremia Research FoundationRetinal Characteristics of Female Choroideremia Carriers: Multimodal Imaging, Microperimetry, and GeneticsLongitudinal assessment of female carriers of choroideremia using multimodal retinal imagingFemale carriers of X-linked inherited retinal diseases - Genetics, diagnosis, and potential therapiesCarrier Connections is sponsored by Kyowa Kirin and Amgen.

Our guest this week is Sebastien Pelletier of Montreal, Canada a financial professional and father of four, three of whom were diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa.  The Pelletier family was also featured in the National Geographic documentary BLINK.Sebastien and his wife, Edith Lemay, have been married for 14 years and are the proud parents of four children: Mia (13), Leo (11), Colin (9) and Laurent (7).  Mia, Colin and Laurent have been diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa, a rare genetic disorder also known as Inherited Retinal Dystrophy (IRD) that causes loss of vision.  There is no known cure for IRD that will eventually lead to complete blindness.  In lieu of just providing their children with images, videos and movies to bolster their visual memories, the family embarked on an 18 month, 15 country journey around the world, which became the subject of the 2024 National Geographic documentary BLINK.  BLINK is more than a beautifully filmed travelogue to once-in-a-lifetime destinations, it's about the family's love, resilience and unshakeable sense of wonder to ensure that their uncertain future does not define their present.Today's episode is also a touching reflection about a couple's commitment to family and adventure, all on this episode of the SFN Dad to Dad Podcast.Show Links - LinkedIn –  https://www.linkedin.com/in/sebastien-p-62840b/Quebec Foundation for Visually Impaired – https://fondationdesaveugles.org/en/Blink Documentary Official Website - https://films.nationalgeographic.com/blinkEdith's Book - https://www.amazon.ca/Plein-leurs-yeux-gardent-m%C3%A9moire-ebook/dp/B0DGLLRD2KAQPEHV: https://www.aqpehv.qc.ca/ Mira: https://www.mira.ca/en/Fighting blindness: https://www.fightingblindness.org/MiraUSA Guide Dogs https://www.mirausa.orgRegister for the 6th Annual SFN Dads Virthual Conference on May 10, 2025: https://us02web.zoom.us/meeting/register/TLkN_ViJTTqnaK-M8pHPNA After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the meeting.Special Fathers Network -SFN is a dad to dad mentoring program for fathers raising children with special needs. Many of the 800+ SFN Mentor Fathers, who are raising kids with special needs, have said: "I wish there was something like this when we first received our child's diagnosis. I felt so isolated.  There was no one within my family, at work, at church or within my friend group who understood or could relate to what I was going through."SFN Mentor Fathers share their experiences with younger dads closer to the beginning of their journey raising a child with the same or similar special needs. The SFN Mentor Fathers do NOT offer legal or medical advice, that is what lawyers and doctors do. They simply share their experiences and how they have made the most of challenging situations.Check out the 21CD YouTube Channel with dozens of videos on topics relevant to dads raising children with special needs - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCzDFCvQimWNEb158ll6Q4cA/videosPlease support the SFN.
