The motor industry is warning there are not enough mechanics trained to service and repair a surging number of electric and hybrid vehicles on our roads. Pure battery electric vehicles make up about 1.5 percent of the country's total fleet - with 68,853 EVs on the roads as at the end of October. There are a further 230,000 hybrids. The Ministry of Transport is forecasting the pure electric fleet to more than double to up to as much as 150,000 by the end of next year. The Motor Trade Association says the number of mechanics being trained is not enough to keep up. Hamish Miller, automotive and engineering academic leader at Otago Polytechnic, says he wants a nationwide framework similar to what he has seen in Australia.

Today's episode features Peter Bilous. Peter is a yankee who resides in Wanaka, New Zealand. He has spent 70-plus seasons playing and working in the snow.

An imagined series of puzzling artefacts from a time travelling civilisation has taken out this year's top Portage Ceramic Award for their creator, Richard Penn. His collection's called Artefacts. Richard and his family moved to Aotearoa from South Africa just a couple of years ago. He's taught ceramics at Elam School of Fine Arts at the University of Auckland and Otago Polytechnic and held residencies at Auckland Studio Potters and at Driving Creek Pottery in the Coromandel. Lynn Freeman asks Richard about his winning entry, which he says is part of a much larger body of work:

For the three years before sculptor Peter Nicholls' death last year, he worked with his friend and editor Don Hunter on a biography charting his 60 years of creating often monumental work from found materials. While he didn't live to see the finished book, which he titled Dynamics / Memory / Grace: Peter Nicholls, he did proof a colour draft of it a fortnight before he died, in his 80s. Most of his sculptures, crafted mainly from 'found' native wood and steel, were designed for outdoor settings. But many are also in galleries and homes around the country. We have a selection on them on our webpage rnz.co.nz/standingroomonly. Peter also shared his expertise with the next generation of artists as a lecturer in Sculpture at the Dunedin School of Art, Otago Polytechnic from 1979 until 2001. That's where Don Hunter first met Peter, as he explains to Lynn Freeman.

Dr Francesca Brown is a veterinarian who graduated from Massey University's class of 1998.  Since graduating and gaining experience in clinical practice she moved to education and then leadership in Allied Veterinary Professional education, at both Otago Polytechnic, as the Head of the School of Veterinary Nursing and nationally as the Chair of the Educational Standards committee for Allied Veterinary Professionals. Over her career Dr Francesca's seen first-hand, and through her network of colleagues in the industry (both vets and allied veterinary professionals), the significant challenges faced to personnel. Today she talks about one of her most recent research projects – which she expects to publish in early 2023 – Veterinary Client Storytelling.Dr Francesca wanted to know “what's important to clients when they visit a vet clinic”.   Dr Francesca discusses the following questions and top level ‘more research required' topics:    What can clinics do to improve the clients' experience when they visit?Are clinics relying too heavily on the sale / inclusion of medication as a revenue generating component?What steps can veterinary staff – from front of house through to the veterinarian – do to greatly enhance the clients' experience?How to recognise the critically important human-animal bond to each individual clientListen to what the client has to say – explain the rationale for discounting Dr Google's diagnosisOffer professional guidance when giving clients choices around future treatment option(s)The importance of partnership clinic+client+petWould clients pay extra to have more time to settle their pets?Would slowing things down and allowing more time be beneficial?   What would the benefits look like?How important is always seeing the same vet to the client?What needs to happen is this standard practice in a clinic?How can the clinic + client relationship be maintained?   How can feedback become a gift?What can clinics / people do when a blind spot is exposed? VetStaff leading veterinary sector recruitment in New Zealand | veterinarians | locums | nurses

Tall Poppy syndrome is back in the news following scientist and philanthropist Sir Ray Avery announcing he is leaving New Zealand for Australia. In a statement Sir Ray said New Zealand has a culture which punishes individualism and unfairly calls out its fellow Kiwis if they don't live up to their expectations. It's not a new accusation made against New Zealand culture by our high achievers but is it really that pervasive? Dr Jo Kirkwood from the Otago Polytechnic researches the impact of Tall Poppy Syndrome in New Zealand particularly on businesses.

Oliver Hartwich talks with Professor David Rozado from Otago Polytechnic about his research in positive/negative sentiment words and terms loaded with political connotations in academia and news/opinion articles from news media outlets.

Dr ANAE NERU LEAVASA to the Minister for Youth: What recent announcements has she made about Youth Parliament?

Former Otago Polytechnic chief executive Phil Ker has called for an apology from Education Minister Chris Hipkins for turning the country's polytechnic education system into "a national disgrace". It comes in the wake of last week's apology from Te Pūkenga's acting chief executive over its beleaguered financial situation and its delays in transitioning the country's polytechnics into a single entity. However, Hipkins said the system was no longer sustainable and change was necessary. Ker agreed change was needed, but believed the problems the system faced were not being addressed. "The so-called reforms are basically a solution for the wrong problem. "Actually, I think they were simply an ego trip on the Minister of Education's part, to be frank." Ker told the Otago Daily Times the core issue was the inadequacy of funding for the polytechnic sector, and between now and the final transition, there would need to be severe staff cuts across the entire network of providers and subsidiaries. "I'd be staggered if there are not redundancies. "You can't address the problems of the magnitude that we have in the sector at the moment without redundancies." Ker believed hundreds of millions of dollars had been spent to reform a system that was not actually broken. "Those hundreds of millions have just gone into structural stuff. "Not a single dollar has been put into improving outcomes for learners, not a single dollar to strengthening the regional providers, and so the issues that we had before Hipkins started this misguided venture, are not only still there, they're worse." He said there was a range of solutions — one being an overhaul of management at Te Pūkenga. "They're just not up to the task." Another was to reconstruct a model where there was a central agency — which would still be Te Pūkenga — that confined its energies to those matters that needed central guidance. "For example, New Zealand learners are desperately in need of a vastly improved learner support system. "The bulk of our learning does not occur on campuses. What that means is that support for learners — academic support, pastoral care, health support — these things can't be delivered to learners nationwide. "They're not being delivered now, not by a long shot. This is something that can't be put together by individual providers, and so it could be a Te Pūkenga initiative to do so. "This is an example of where valuable dollars should be spent to get better outcomes for people — not on bureaucracies, not on large salaries." Otago Polytechnic. Photo / ODT The initial goal was to build a system that delivered more education to more people — particularly Māori, Pasifika and people with disabilities — and to do it better. "I would challenge you to find a single, solitary, additional initiative in the last two years that has delivered more or better. It just hasn't happened. "I think it's a national disgrace." He said colleagues still working in the system felt Te Pūkenga was trying to drive a compliance model, obsessed with rules, standardisation and people obeying the rules. He said the situation had left staff "very disillusioned and disaffected" and he thought it was appropriate that Te Pūkenga leaders apologise to staff because they deliberately pushed away people already in the system that had the knowledge, experience and skill to help drive it. "I want the minister to apologise for this mess that he has foisted on the economy. "What we were looking for was something that recognised the need for some centralisation, but what we got was a minister that went to the extreme model. "They don't need to keep going towards that extreme model. There is a halfway house that will give us the best of both worlds — the best of very agile, innovative, autonomous institutions and the best of a central agency that deals with the things that the individual providers just can't do because they're too small and disconnected." Hipkins said he found it difficult to understand Ker's claim the Government had done nothing to deliver more for learners over the past two years. "Fees Free, and the Targeted Training and Apprenticeship Fund from Budget 2020, have supported more than 208,100 and 209,200 learners respectively since they were each introduced, up to April 2022. "An aligned initiative, Apprenticeship Boost, has supported employers to keep on over 47,000 apprentices through Covid-19, contributing to one of the lowest unemployment rates this country has seen." He said the old polytechnic system had strengths and weaknesses, but the sector needed to recognise it was not delivering the skilled workers that employers and businesses were crying out for. Hipkins said there was an increasing trend towards more on-the-job learning through apprenticeships, and by bringing the old industry training and polytechnic sectors together under one umbrella, the strength of both could be harnessed. He said the previous competitive model of polytechnic provision was damaging. Having Otago Polytechnic set up a campus in Auckland and compete with two other local polytechnics to gather $20 million a year in revenue, was not sustainable. Hipkins agreed the sector was "seriously underfunded" and needed significant change, while continuing the ability of local communities to innovate, and improving the connections with local businesses to tackle regional skills shortages. "That's what the transition is well on its way to enabling. "I want innovation to focus on education and training, rather than having to set up non-core revenue schemes."See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

According to one recent DHB study, nearly one-in-three nursing students quit their studies before qualifying, due to financial pressure, family responsibilities and other factors made worse by Covid-19. At the same time, health boards and rest homes are spending hundreds of thousands of dollars trying to attract nurses from overseas to fill an estimated 4000 vacancies. As a third-year Otago Polytechnic nursing student, Jade Power has been following the difficult situation from ground zero. Power, who also chairs the national student unit of the Nurses Organisation, spoke to Corin Dann.

Stuffed animals used to be a fixture of Victorian houses and museums, though for modern eyes they elicit complicated responses. They're certainly striking - often magnificent - examples of the taxidermist's skill. But they're also tragic, particularly when the animals are endangered, or even extinct. Now a modern exhibition offers life-sized skeletons of endangered animals, made not from bone but from knitting. Sculptor Michele Beevors believes the sense of loss to those looking at them, will be just as profound. From tiny frogs to a towering giraffe, she's knitted their skeletons as part of a two-decade-long project, and many have been included in exhibitions about the country. This selection from the Anatomy Lessons menagerie is about to open in Otago Museum's animal attic Michele's twelve chosen creatures will sit alongside some of the museum's historic skin and fur taxidermied exhibits. Michele is principal lecturer in sculpture at the Dunedin School of Art at Otago Polytechnic. She tells Lynn Freeman that, for her, these frozen-in-time creatures have held a sad fascination for her since she moved to Otepoti Dunedin 20 years ago. Michele Beevors: Anatomy Lessons opens at Otago Museum on the 9th of April.

Dr Helen Beattie grew up on a South Island Central High Country station before going to Massey University.   Her veterinary career started off in a mixed animal clinic in North Otago.Helen's OE included working on the UKs foot and mouth response in the UK.  From there she came home to Godzone and bought a companion animal clinic in Dunedin.From clinic ownership Helen ventured into teaching vet nurses at Otago Polytechnic.   Not standing still on the education front, Helen picked up the books herself to become a warranted animal welfare inspector whilst employed as the Director of Animal Welfare at SPCA Otago.If you didn't know who Dr Helen Beattie was at the beginning of the current Covid-19 pandemic, you sure would have heard about her come March/April 2020 because Helen was the NZ Vet Association's Chief Veterinary Officer – burning the candle at both ends helping kiwi vet clinics navigate the ins and outs of staying open and safe whilst NZ was declared a State of Emergency.   At the NZVA , her role was one of national level advocacy, leadership and politicking on behalf of the veterinary profession and for animal welfare.Helen left this position late 2021 and in February 2022 Helen launched an organisation providing a unique new voice for animal welfare - Veterinarians for Animals Welfare Aotearoa. The organisation was the brainchild of several veterinary colleagues, and provides a veterinary-led, science-backed, independent advocacy voice on animal welfare.Dr Helen Beattie - qualificationsBachelor of Veterinary ScienceCertificate in Animal Welfare InvestigationsGraduate Certificate in Tertiary Learning and TeachingCertificate in Mata ā Ao MāoriVetStaff leading veterinary sector recruitment in New Zealand | veterinarians | locums | nurses

An exhibition about disruptive fashion designers was delayed by that big disruptor of the moment - Covid-19. Now, a year or so later than planned, Fashion FWD > > Disruption through Design will soon open at Otago Museum. It will show some of the most original work by Emerging Designer finalists in the city's annual iD Fashion event, that's been running for more than 20 years. It took some detective work to track down the designers, who are all over the country - and indeed the world. But by the end of 2019, the curators had the selected garments safely at the museum. At last they're going on show alongside work by some of the city's top fashion labels, as well as historic pieces from the Museum's textile collection.

What do you consider when buying running shoes? Research shows that most runners think getting the "correct shoe" is important for avoiding injuries. But how do you know if you're in the "correct shoes"? Dr Codi Ramsey is an expert on running shoes and has been investigating the relationship between shoes and running injuries. Dr Ramsey is the Academic Lead for the Masters of Applied Science program at Otago Polytechnic in New Zealand. She joins me on the show today to discuss the problems we face when trying to use the evidence to make informed decisions about our running shoes. We discussed the difficulty in making strong recommendations based on the current evidence, as well as the problems that have arisen from shoe companies putting the marketing-cart before the research-horse. She also shares some practical tips that runners can use to evaluate shoes right there in the store, before making a purchase.
