While the big wet has plagued the North Island this summer, particularly on the east coast, it's been a different story at the other end of the country. High pressure systems have kept the South Island relatively dry, particularly parts of Otago and Southland which have seen limited rainfall. That's seen some councils impose water restrictions in some areas, like Mosgiel and the Queenstown lakes district as well as fire bans. Kathryn talks to the Metservice about what's on the cards for the south, and Queenstown Lakes District Mayor Glyn Lewers about the restrictions.

New research has found a respiratory disease is what caused high numbers of hoiho / yellow eyed penguin chicks to die over the last three years.  The collaborative study by Otago and Massey Universities, Dunedin Wildlife Hospital, and two government departments discovered about 25 per cent of the chicks on the mainland died during the 2021 hatching season.  One of the study's leads, Jemma Geoghegan, spoke to Charlotte Cook.  

Dr. Barrie Tan is extremely excited about vitamin E and is actually hailed as a trailblazer and the world's foremost expert on vitamin E. A scientist first and foremost, Dr. Tan earned his Ph.D. in Chemistry/Biochemistry from the University of Otago, New Zealand and spent several years as a professor at UMass. Dr. Tan has committed himself to researching and developing phytonutrients that reduce and slow chronic disorders. Dr. Tan is credited with discovering a form of vitamin E called tocotrienol from three major sources – Palm, Rice and Annatto. Editor of two prestigious books on tocotrienol and the International Tocotrienol Conference founder. He is currently the President of American River Nutrition and his mission is simple — improve the everyday health of people's lives.  In our conversation, we learn what vitamin E is, why we need it and if we need to supplement with it. We also get into what an antioxidant really is and what it really does in the body (hint: it is important).  Dr. Tan also explains where vitamin e is found, how Pharma companies don't give plants their due credit, and what changes in your body when you get enough vitamin e. Other important aspects we cover are how vitamin e affects diabetes, triglycerides and fatty liver disease.

Emma is back for her first Thursday show of 2023! She hosts Neil Vallelly, researcher at the University of Otago in New Zealand, to discuss his book Futilitarianism: Neoliberalism and the Production of Uselessness. First, Emma runs through updates on a second set of classified documents being found at Biden's Wilmington home, House GOP introducing two anti-abortion bills, Kevin McCarthy's quid pro quo to obtain the speakership, the NYC Nurses' strike reaching a tentative agreement after three days, and Barbara Lee's potential run for Senate in Dianne Feinstein's seat, before Emma parses through updates on Israel's apartheid expansion as Bibi Netanyahu's far-right coalition comes into power, and Rashida Tlaib's statements on the House floor. Neil Vallelly then joins as he dives right into the inspiration for his book coming out of direct exposure to budget slashes at University, and the impacts they have in driving students into specific realms of study more suited to capitalist endeavors, exploring how the humanities and social sciences are painted as indulgent and useless for occasionally challenging capitalism rather than seeking to serve it. This brings Professor Vallelly to the topic of how different things get constructed as “useless” in our world, following how the emphasis on utility in education came alongside a shift towards privatized and debt-driven universities, thus requiring students to shape their own educational path alongside the universities' economic projects. Next, Neil steps back as he traces the path from Jeremy Bentham's theories of utilitarianism to contemporary neoliberalism, first exploring how he came to view money as the objective quantifier of utility, justifying the growing capital accumulation in the world and the growing economic theories of the time, with even the anti-utilitarian theories of the 20th Century, namely Keynesian and Hayekian economics, grounding themselves in this concept of maximizing happiness (whether for the masses or individuals). After tackling how the Friedman-Hayek form of anti-utilitarian utilitarianism won out over New Deal economics, Neil and Emma explore neoliberalism's separation of the market from “democracy, the greater relationship between enfranchisement and utility, and how nihilism can help us analyze it, before wrapping up by walking through more specific examples of utilitarianism's impact on neoliberal policy. And in the Fun Half: Emma is joined by Brandon Sutton and Matt Binder as Matt discusses his time at the CES Tech Conference, and they talk with Bro Flamingo on the NFL and punitive measures against political coups. They also cover updates on Matt Schlapp's alleged sexual assault, Prince Harry on the relationship between his family and his family jewels, and the Daily Wire's flunking filmmaking endeavor and the celebs they're taking down with them. Tony from San Jose calls in to parse through the potential Saudi acquisition of the WWE, with Binder filling in many of the gaps of what led up to this, plus, your calls and IMs!

Donuts, cupcakes, lattes, and cookies–sometimes it seems like the best things in life are full of it: the sweet, delicious thing we call sugar. It's one of the first places we look to when we're trying to make a “lifestyle change,” and also one of the first places we look to when we need a pick-me-up. Some scientists say that sugar is akin to a poison, giving rise to diseases like diabetes and metabolic syndrome. Others say, it's not actually that bad. So what's the truth? This week, we talk to Professor Jim Mann from the University of Otago in New Zealand. Is sugar bad for us? Are all sugars the same? Should we even be giving up sugar at all? Find out on our sweetest episode yet.  Remember to head to our website for our show notes! Follow us on Instagram @foodweneedtotalk.

Otago and Southland mayors and regional chairs are urgently requesting a meeting with the government following significant budget cuts to a new hospital. In the week before Christmas the health ministry announced a ninety million dollar cut to Dunedin Hospital, citing supply constraints in the construction industry. Twelve beds, two operating theatres and two scanners have been dropped from the final detailed business case, along with a link bridge and a pavilion. Clutha Mayor Bryan Cadogan spoke to Morning Report's Charlotte Cook.

Why do wasps exist? While many see them as unfriendly bees who sting out of spite, their aggression could be interpreted as a fierce form of family protection. They are hugely understudied and even more underappreciated, with hundreds of thousands of different species carrying out jobs in our ecosystems. Some live together in nests whereas others hunt solo, paralysing prey with antibiotic-laden venom. In abundance, they can destroy environments - outcompeting most creatures and taking resource for themselves - but could we harness their predatory powers to take on pest control? Adam Hart and guests are a-buzz about this much-maligned insect and explore why we should be giving them more credit. Professor Seirian Sumner, behavioural ecologist at University College London, and Dr Jenny Jandt, ecologist at University of Otago, New Zealand.

Today on the Gut Health Reset Podcast, we are discussing the importance of Vitamin E in your body with Dr. Barrie Tan! Vitamin E, a powerful antioxidant found in many foods, is gaining recognition for its positive effect on gut health. Studies suggest that Vitamin E can influence certain gut bacteria which helps to restore and maintain gut health. Since gut issues only stand to increase amidst the modern lifestyle of processed foods, Vitamin E may offer us an easy way to combat these problems before they start. By restoring gut balance it appears that Vitamin E can improve not just gut health, but overall wellbeing as well.We will answer these questions:- Why did Dr. Tan begin researching Vitamin E?- Why is Vitamin E so important for your gut health?- Can Vitamin E be helpful for anti-aging?- How can you tell if you're Vitamin E deficient?- And more!-Recommended Supplements: Antioxidant Support - https://drannmariebarter.com/product/liposomal-glutathione/ Wired But Tired - https://drannmariebarter.com/product/wired-but-tired/ -About Dr. Barrie Tan:Dr. Barrie Tan is hailed as a trailblazer and the world's foremost expert on vitamin E.

On today's show we discuss blood abnormalities in the vaccinated, including clumping of red blood cells, the ribbons of semi translucent material, the tube like structures and shard like entities. Constraints on live blood research. GUEST OVERVIEW: David Nixon graduated MB, ChB from the University of Otago in NZ in 1992. David has been a GP (family medicine doctor) for over 25 + years. Since retiring from Clinical Practice due to ongoing AHPRA restrictions and investigations of performance with respect to Covid management. David has published and lectured in Long Term Condition Management with a particular focus on Cardiovascular Risk Assessment and Population screening. David has been using a darkfield microscope to examine live blood for 6 months. He has had significant interaction with colleagues who have been performing live blood analysis for over 20 years. David is concerned about the abnormalities that have been seen in the blood for the last 18 months, some of which are also seen in the vaccine, and some which are associated with pathological states of the blood. David is keen to assist people to assess their own blood safely and affordably and is working on developing a population screening and management guideline.

A cervical cancer screening study will give its participants the option to test at home.  The study will look at the impacts of the Human Papillomavirus (HPV) test, which will be Aotearoa's main screening method for cervical cancer from next year.  About 3,000 participants will be able to choose whether to have their test at their doctor's surgery or do it themselves from home.  University of Otago, Christchurch, associate professor Peter Sykes spoke to Māni Dunlop.   

The Port Chalmers branch was the first railway line build in Otago and 150 years later it's still operational. To celebrate the milestone a group of enthusiasts put together a special anniversary event yesterday.

Starship hospital doctors will be preparing for the life-saving heart surgery on a baby who's now under the guardianship of the High Court. Te Whatu Ora took the case to court because the parents refused to allow blood transfusions from anyone who might have had the Pfizer vaccine. Doctor have said they would be ready to operate within 48 hours of the decision which came out yesterday evening. The guardianship order lasts until the end of January at the latest, allowing time for the baby to re-cover from the surgery. Both blood and blood products such as platelets and plasma will be needed for the operation and possibly afterwards. The baby will be in intensive care for up to a week. University of Otago bioethics lecturer Josephine Johnstone told Morning Report the ruling was consistent with previous decisions when there have been disputes about what's best for a child with serious medical needs.  Johnstone says many other cases, like when parents have objected to children receiving blood transfusions for religious reasons, have sided in favour of medical advice. She says in this case, very limited decision making has been taken away from the parents, who have guardianship over the baby for everything aside from the surgery.

Will prayer help the praying mantis? Are bees buzzy, drumming up enough support? Hu-hu do these beetles think they'll beat? Or have sandflies bitten off more than they can chew? The Bug of the Year campaign has begun - and it coincides with Otago's Museum's pollination workshop. Tess Brunton got amongst some creepy crawlies.  

DNA ancestry tests might solve some personal curiosity - but are they gifting a treasure trove of data to third parties? Professor Peter Dearden, from the Department of Biochemstry at the University of Otago, and Director of Genomics Aotearoa, says a growing number of people are choosing home test kits without understanding the consequences.

Today on the wire:  Tuva'a has his regular chat with health minister Andrew Little chatting about pain parity and a new emergency department for Whangarei Hospital Liam spoke to Willow Heron about the campaign to reform name change laws for youth in Aotearoa, Stella's had a chat with Micheal Gilchrist about the E Tu Unions strike of Stuff Media members Liam also had a chat with Richard Jackson from the University of Otago about New Zealands terror risk shifting to low, Hanna spoke to Narissa Harding from the New Zealand Council of Trade Unions And Liam to european correspondent Cameron Adams on Eurovision.

The official terrorisiim risk of New Zealand has recently been moved down to low.  The level, desginated the risk of a terror attack at any givn time, now states that a terror attack isn't likely, but possible.  Aotearoa has been at a medium level since the Christchurch Terror Attacks, which caused the country to go into high for a month.  To learn more, I spoke to Richard Jackson from the University of Otago about what this represents.   

Above average temperatures are expected across much of the country this summer but particularly in the west. The West Coast of the South Island, including Fiordland and central Otago, can expect more hot days and possible drought conditions this summer, while the east coasts of the country could see fewer hot days of 25 degrees or more. NIWA meteorologist Chris Brandolino spoke to Corin Dann.  

RNZ journalist Tim Brown joins Kathryn to talk about the controversy surrounding Gore's new Mayor Ben Bell and the attempt by seven councillors to oust his choice of deputy, Queenstown's vulnerable migrants are being squeezed more than ever by rental prices and the mystery of the missing albatross eggs is still unsolved, three weeks later.

The Government looks like its stepping back on a three waters provision that would make it harder for future governments to change the legislation The Green Party wants any move to privatise water to require sixty percent of MPs support. The provision is unusual because new governments usually have the option of overturning legislation with a simple majority of parliamentary votes rather than trying to muster a super-majority in the House.  National says it intends to repeal any three waters legislation. University of Otago law professor Andrew Geddis says such a provision is a potentially "momentous" change to how the country's law is made. He spoke to Guyon Espiner.

The UN Secretary-General António Guterres has hailed a historic agreement at COP27 to pay poorer countries for damage wrought by climate change.  The two week climate summit wrapped last night.  Guterres says the loss and damage decision was a much needed signal to rebuild broken trust between the developing world and rich countries. But he says the meeting failed to get an agreement to drastically reduce emissions, leaving the planet in the "emergency room" in a battle for all of our lives.  University of Otago professor and climate finance and energy expert Ivan Diaz-Rainey spoke to Kim Hill.

A new study suggests a significant number of undergraduate students are uncomfortable sharing their views in class on certain topics - such as gender, politics, religion and sexual orientation. Almost 800 students from Otago, Auckland and Victoria Universities participated in the study, about their comfort speaking in academic settings. Up to 40% said they would feel uncomfortable 'speaking up and giving their views' on gender, politics, religion, and sexual orientation. And 65 per cent said they would feel uncomfortable discussing at least one of these topics. Kathryn discusses the findings with Dr Jamin Halberstadt, a professor in the department of psychology, University of Otago.

It was a conversation with the founders of FASD Ireland Scott and Tristan Casson-Rennie.  Scott and Tristan spoke of their experience of not finding supports for their son with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder.  They decided to step into the gap and in September 2021 they opened their non-profit FASD Ireland to be the 'go to' hub for everyone living with FASD, including families, carers, educators, healthcare workers and the wider community across Ireland.  They work tirelessly to challenge and lobby Government to legislate and implement practical strategies that will reduce and prevent FASD in Ireland.
