Send us your feedback Technology partners Tom Maasland and Kate Cruickshank host this special three-episode series of Tech Suite, marking New Zealand Techweek26. They will explore how the Techweek26 pillars; foundations, growth, and governance are shaping New Zealand's tech ecosystem.In this opening episode, Tom Maasland is joined by Susana Tomaz, Programme Lead for Day of AI Aotearoa New Zealand and Director of Futures and AI Strategy at Westlake Girls' High School, for a compelling conversation on the foundational role education plays in building New Zealand's AI capability.[00:30] Tom and Susana reflect on Tech New Zealand's Tech and Innovation Manifesto 2026 and it's call to strengthen foundations to unlock future productivity, growth, and high value jobs in the tech sector and how education sits at the very heart of New Zealand's AI capability and this call to action.[02:28] Susana shares her learnings from classrooms, school leadership, and global AI initiatives, highlighting that while students are already using AI extensively, adoption without structured capability, ethical grounding, and consistency creates real risks.[03:56] They discuss how New Zealand compares internationally on AI in education, with Susana explaining why countries like Singapore and Australia are ahead due to planned, strategic, system level frameworks, and how New Zealand risks falling behind without similar governance in place.[06:47] Susana considers what New Zealand is doing well, including strong engagement from school leaders and encouraging uptake in the Day of AI Aotearoa programme, while also warning that a lack of national governance and support structures could create inequity and an AI divide between educational institutions.[09:46] Tom talks about the broader innovation ecosystem, linking education to New Zealand tech success stories such as Halter and Rocket Lab. They consider how fear, uncertainty, and inconsistent guidance around AI can stifle creativity, experimentation, and talent retention.[15:49] The episode closes with Susana outlining some immediate government actions she believes are needed, making the case for adopting foundational AI literacy programmes such as the Day of AI Aotearoa across all NZ schools, while building the governance frameworks required for a consistent and equitable systems approach.

Along the way, Christian shares ideas from the book's three-part structure - character, capacity, and culture - including the power of big, ambitious goals, the role of education as a leveller, and the responsibility teachers have to open up possibility for every young person in front of them.Christian Mba is a senior school leader working in secondary education in England.

In this episode, we sit down with Athena Tong, Visiting Researcher at the University of Tokyo and a Research Associate & Programme Lead at the China Strategic Risks Institute, to explore the strategic importance of submarine cables as critical infrastructure within today's geopolitical competition. Athena explains why these systems have become increasingly vulnerable, particularly in regions such as Taiwan and Japan's southwestern islands, where growing military and maritime pressures complicate infrastructure security. She discusses the challenge policymakers face in distinguishing between accidental disruptions and deliberate sabotage, and how dual-use commercial infrastructure can complicate risk assessments. Finally, we examine emerging connectivity corridors and the potential for new routes, including those linking Asia and Europe through Canada's Arctic, to strengthen global resilience and economic security.
It's been revealed the documentary on the disappearance of Tom Phillips will screen on Netflix. He and his children were missing for four years, and the saga ended with a shootout in September, killing the fugitive. Dame Julie Christie is creating a documentary on the case with the help of the Police and has been granted exclusive access. Massey University's James Hollings told Ryan Bridge the primary concern with Netflix screening the documentary, is that it will play out overseas. He says the case has a lot of legal tangle and suppressions surrounding it, and it's hard to know how that will play out or if it will be respected overseas.

In this nourishing episode of Accidental Gods, we delve into the fertile world of seed sovereignty with Katie Hastings and Sinead Fortune of the Gaia Foundation's Seed Sovereignty Programme. Katie, hailing from the lush landscapes of Wales, and Sinead, rooted in the rugged beauty of rural Aberdeenshire, share their passion for reviving ancient grains and fostering communities of growth.Embark on a journey through the tales of black oats, a crop once on the brink of oblivion, now experiencing a renaissance on the cliffs of Pembrokeshire. Discover how these oats, intertwined with the stories of generations, are being brought back into circulation by a vibrant network of farmers, engineers, and chefs, all dedicated to preserving the diversity of our seed heritage.As we explore the practical steps and the profound joy of seed saving, we're reminded that every seed sown is a vessel of potential, a beacon of hope in an ever-changing climate. Katie and Sinead illuminate the path towards a more resilient food system, where local, open-pollinated seeds adapt and thrive, offering unique flavors and a promise of sustainability.This episode is a clarion call to reconnect with the origins of our sustenance, to embrace the community spirit inherent in the cycle of seed to harvest, and to participate in the movement towards a future where our choices at the dinner table also nurture the earth.Whether you're a seasoned grower, a curious gardener with a windowsill plot, or simply someone who cherishes the act of sharing a meal, this conversation is an invitation to join hands in shaping a world where the diversity of our plates reflects the diversity of our landscapes.For those inspired to take root in this revolution, visit the show notes for links to local seed initiatives and resources that will guide you in becoming an integral part of this flourishing movement. Tune in and let the stories of seeds sow inspiration in your heart, as we cultivate a world abundant in flavor, joy, and resilience.Katie's Bio: Katie Hastings is the Wales Coordinator for the Gaia Foundation's Seed Sovereignty Programme, where she works alongside farmers and growers to build a more resilient seed system from the ground up. As part of this work, she facilitates the Wales Seed Hub - a cooperative of agroecological seed growers, and Llafur Ni - a network of people working together to revive rare Welsh oats. Katie is co-founder of the community organisation Mach Maethlon, where she has coordinated a horticultural training programme, food hub and community growing scheme. Katie's seed journey started when she had a mental breakdown and was referred for horticultural therapy by her doctor. She found hope for the future in growing food in community with others. In her free time she swims in her local river and walks her dog up Cadair Idris mountain. Sinead's Bio: Sinéad Fortune is Programme Lead for the Seed Sovereignty Programme, as well as coordinating the programme work in Scotland where she's based. She works with coordinators around the UK and Ireland to support community groups, market gardeners and farmers to train in seed production and to develop and strengthen the connections that make the seed sovereignty movement thrive. Her academic background in Political Ecology focused on food security and community empowerment, and her diverse professional experience spans community food movements, alternative sustainable food production, science education and behaviour change. When Sinéad isn't working in seed sovereignty or willing her crops to grow, she can be found wandering the woods looking for interesting fungi, crafting herbal lotions, potions and remedies, or playing a few tunes on the fiddle.Gaia Foundation https://gaiafoundation.org/Seed Sovereignty www.seedsovereignty.infoSeed Hub Wales https://www.seedhub.wales/about-us/Open Food Network Seed Hub Shop https://openfoodnetwork.org.uk/hwb-hadau-cymru-wales-seed-hub/shopThe momentous black oat feast: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/welsh-oats-back-in-black/Llafur Ni film: https://vimeo.com/489406001Guardian coverage of the Black Oat story: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2022/oct/28/black-oats-llafur-ni-wales-crops-grains-growers-farmers-aoeKatie's article about the issues with oat processing: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/oat-quest-inching-towards-tasting-our-oats/Recent Oxford Real Farming Conference panel discussion I hosted: https://soundcloud.com/user-775591787/orfc2024-the-story-of-black-oats-lost-and-foundKatie's guide to starting your own seed cooperative: https://www.seedsovereignty.info/so-you-want-to-start-a-seed-coop-week-1-finding-your-varieties/

Images are a key part of communicating climate change, and shape how we understand the crisis unfolding around us. But while lots of research has been done into the language we use to talk about climate, images are often left out of the conversation. As a result, over time, a limited set of images have come to dominate how we think of climate change – like polar bears and melting glaciers - which haven't kept up with the changing conversation about the crisis. All too often, these images tend to be abstract, removed from our daily lives and typically don't feature people - when we know that climate change is happening all around us, all the time, and is very much a story with people and communities at its core. So how can we develop a new, and more effective visual language for climate change? What kind of images ‘work' to both convey the urgency of the crisis as well as inspire behavioural change? And what are some of the ways in which photographers are seeking to represent the crisis in a way that transforms apathy into action?

In this episode, we explore social protection. Host Edward Mishaud is joined by Christina Behrendt, Head of the Social Policy Unit at the International Labour Organization, and Dr. Kate Philip, Programme Lead for the Presidential Employment Stimulus in South Africa. The COVID-19 pandemic has put social protection in the spotlight, inviting us to reflect on social protection policy not only in times of crisis but also in everyday life. What exactly is social protection? What have we learned from countries' policy responses to the crisis? How does a robust social protection system contribute to individual, community and collective wellbeing? And what can we learn in order to strengthen these systems for future events? Did it take a global crisis to highlight the critical and multi-dimensional role of social protection? Let's find out.
