Some cracking questions from Talk Birdie To Me wolfpackers this week, and Nick and Mark love chatting through them in our feedback pods.Craig is having issue off the tee, he is shanking it, and asks for a few thoughts from the boys....they have some solid advice.David sometimes gets distracted when he's over the ball if he sees some movement in his vision, and this is throwing him off....asks how Nick and Mark would deal with that. Tom loved Nicks story about having breakfast with Jack Nicklaus, if you haven't heard it you can watch it here. And Perry loves the idea of a bonus pod on the Troppo Tour, wants to hear some stories. Mark says that we have to get Wayne 'Radar' Riley on the pod to tell some stories.After the turn, we head to Wanaka in New Zealand to chase to wolfpacker Scott, who asks the boys about maintaining focus when you are playing well. Nick gives some great advice, Mark tells a brilliant story about tour pro Wayne Smith essentially helped him get another three years on tour by doing what Nick advocates, and then Scott is keen to know how Nick managed his mental focus when he was playing Tiger Woods.

On today's First Up pod: India has launched strikes on Pakistan - correspondent in Pakistan Anas Mallick has the latest from Islamabad; the government has rushed through changes to pay equity legislation, Carmel Sepuloni is calling for the Women's Minister to resign - Labour's deputy leader joins us; and we go to Wanaka, where Olivia Caldwell tells us about the local rugby club turning 125 years old. First Up - Voice of the Nathan!

I think I'm encouraged by the numbers of submissions into the Covid inquiry. This is Covid inquiry part two. The second part is to try and rectify the stitch up that was Covid part one from the previous Government, who were determined to set criteria that would not expose the true damage they wrought upon most of us. 31,000 have had their say this time. It is pointed out they came from all ages, all locations and were both positive as well as negative. Given Health NZ submitted on whether Wanaka should have a McDonalds, do not underestimate the establishment's ability to spend an indecent amount of time and money in putting a best-case scenario forward in a butt-covering exercise. This part of the inquiry looks into masks and mandates, vaccines and lockdowns, and 31,000 submissions tells me we are still very much exercised about the historic nature of the event and our keenness to try and come up with something that sees nothing like a repeat of the last exercise. I note the other day poor, old Chris Hipkins still tries to walk that very fine line between admitting they were in charge of a balls up and pretending it went mostly well. He is in an unwinnable place. As the last sap left standing, given Jacinda Ardern and Grant Robertson are long gone, he has the sorry task of defending what really were some astonishingly poor decisions. But that doesn't mean the inquiry will come up with answers. Answers such as will a pandemic be the same, or similar, or not similar at all? What sort of Government will be in? Will that Government be competent or experienced? What roll will the public service play? Will epidemiologists become household names again? Will New Zealanders sink into a myopic funk again waiting for a leader to tell them what sort of stuffed animal to put in the window? What made last time so bad was the control, and out of the control, followed the anger and fear. I'm not sure an inquiry can dictate answers or solutions around emotion. But 31,000 submissions tells you the emotion is still very, very real. At least in putting the second part of the inquiry on, we attempt to recognise how profound those dark and troubled days really were. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Our 200th episode is all about the New Zealand Secce School Champs in Wanaka.

So this week we saw Health Minister Simeon Brown's true colours, and they were a little patronising. Brown said he wanted medical officers of health to stop writing about issues like fast food and “leading advocacy campaigns” on public health issues. Instead, he said their focus should be on “technical advice” and immunisation campaigns. The thing is, promoting health and preventing disease by assessing a community's health needs and the underlying social factors impacting health and wellbeing is what medical health officers do. It's a core part of their job and comes with an obligation to talk about broader health needs such as the impact of alcohol, tobacco, or fast food. Brown clearly has preferences he'd rather they spoke about - like immunisations. Increasing immunisation rates has been a key priority and target for the Government since taking power, and progress is slow. But I'm not sure telling public health doctors to stay in their lane, a lane dictated by Government, is going to keep them on side. Public health officers haven't been banned from speaking out about what might be best for their community or region, but have been told any advice they want to offer will need sign off at a national level. Association of Salaried Medical Specialists Executive Director Sarah Dalton told me on Early Edition this week that Brown is overstepping the mark. She says there are widespread concerns at attempts to silence doctors - preventing them speaking about public health and patient safety issues. She acknowledges we need to be sensible, but should also respect the significant training and responsibilities our senior doctors hold under legislation. It's also an odd thing for Brown to focus on. Maybe he wants a Big Mac next time he drives through Wanaka, but calling out a declined application for MacDonald's was a poor talking point - it was declined because of location not the advice of a medical officer of health. There is so much more to focus on when it comes to our overwhelmed health system. The Government should refer to its own list of priorities which reflects what the public is more interested in - reducing wait times in EDs, providing more primary care and cutting through surgery wait lists. These are the issues we should be laser focused on, not creating an environment in which those with health expertise and knowledge can no longer speak freely. And as for Brown commenting that people should be able to make their own decisions when it comes to their health and what they chose to eat, well, yes, they should. And they do. All the time. Based on good information - including from, you guessed it, medical experts. We rely on doctors and our GPs to do the preventative work, supporting people to make good decisions for both themselves and our health system. As the Ministry of Health said in their briefing to new Minister of Health in January - “enhancing our focus on prevention is essential to create the best possible chance of good health across the life-course”. So maybe we should just leave doctors to it. If doctors aren't allowed to give broad advice on health, I'm not sure who is. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"110% real": New season of 'Nadia's Farm' shows the realities of Royalburn Station It's been about five years since Nadia Lim and Carlos Bagrie took over Royalburn Station, their endeavours growing the 485-hectare farm into the agricultural powerhouse it's become. Founded in 1887, Royalburn Station has a lengthy history filled with grains; barley, wheat, sunflower seeds, peas, and clover seeds quickly becoming the backbone of Lim and Bagrie's business. When they bought Royalburn in 2019 neither of them had any experience with running a farm. Bagerie may have grown up on a southland sheep farm but he's a marketer by trade, and while growing up in dense cities influenced Lim's cooking, it left little space for farmwork. Needless to say, it was a learning experience for both of them. “What I've learned is that you've got to be someone that's okay with not being in control, because things never, ever go your way,” Lim told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking. “That's probably one of the biggest skills you kind of need to have if you're gonna go into farming.” Royalburn Station sits on the Crown Terrace between Arrowtown and Wanaka, surrounded by mountains, a view Lim describes as ‘paradise'. 485-hectares is quite a significant amount of land but all of it is in use, Royalburn Station even having its own abattoir. “You don't need one,” Bagrie said. “But if you want the very best meat, you kind of want one.” The pair's vision for their farm is to create the most beautiful farm in the world, a quality that goes deeper than aesthetics as they aim to be a leader in regenerative, diverse, and ethical food production. ‘The very best' in every area they produce. “We actually won the New Zealand Food Producers Award last year for our lamb,” Lim revealed. Moving down from Auckland, they weren't met with the kindest reception, rumours and gossip going around calling them ‘pretend farmers'. “But I think now people get it that actually, it is a proper working farm.” Bagrie and Lim have diversified the farm quite significantly over the years, producing not only grains and lamb, but also honey, free range eggs, and produce from their organic market garden. They've found success with their model but according to Bagrie, it's not a model that would work for everyone, their location highly influencing their success. “I think out model works because of, I mean, to be really frank, because of our ability to be able to supply those restaurants and have those direct relationships.” Building an agricultural powerhouse is not an easy task, but they've now settled into something of a rhythm. “We've been doing so many new things, this year is all just going to be about not doing anything new, just solidifying what we've got,” Lim told Hosking with a laugh. Diversifying to the extent they have has a certain amount of risk, as if they're not careful they can spread their production too thin. “You'll see when you watch the show, there is a lot of simplification happening.” The show in question is the second season of Nadia's Farm, the first episode having premiered last night. While reality TV tends to be dramatized for entertainment purposes, Lim said that this show is 100% real. “I've done quite a bit of TV now and this show is like, unlike any other show I've ever done.” “There's no scripting, like no makeup, no team. We just go out there and film it,” Lim revealed. “It's as natural, and organic, and unpanned as it gets.” Bagrie and Lim don't want to shy away from the reality of farm life in this show, showing both the pleasantries and the nitty gritty. “I feel like a lot of the problems we've run into now with how food gets to your plate, and a lot of, a lot of it has become taboo and people don't want to talk about it or know about it.” “The more you hide, the worse that knowledge gap becomes.” ‘Nadia's Farm' is out now on ThreeNow and Three.

Do you ever feel just... flat? Not inspired, not excited, and certainly not energised. It might feel like burnout. Or is it compassion fatigue? Maybe it's neither. You know those moments in veterinary medicine when you know the right thing to do, but external circumstances prevent you from doing it? That dissonance, that discomfort deep in your core: that's moral injury. In this episode, we unravel the complexities of moral injury with Dr. Shannon Bass, a leader in veterinary medicine and a passionate advocate for supporting veterinarians through the psychological challenges they face. Moral injury, often confused with burnout or compassion fatigue, is an under-discussed but critical issue in our profession. Together with Dr. Bass, we explore the distinctions between these terms, their impact on veterinary professionals, and how to address them effectively. Dr. Bass brings over 20 years of experience in general practice, emergency veterinary medicine, and leadership to this conversation, where you'll learn How moral injury manifests in daily practice The importance of differentiating it from burnout and compassion fatigue Why 'client bashing' can be a symptom of moral distress, and Practical steps to create healthier and more supportive veterinary work environments.

Elemeno P erupted onto the New Zealand music scene in the early 2000's, making waves with their pop-rock singalong anthems like Fast Times in Tahoe, Verona, and Every Day's a Saturday. They remain one of the country's biggest-selling rock acts, having graced the stage at nearly every venue in New Zealand at least twice. This summer, the group is reuniting to take on Rhythm and Alps down in Wānaka. The members are a bit spread around, with frontman Dave Gibson basing himself stateside in New York. He told Jack Tame that nowadays when they need the band back together, they set out the bat signal. “We all congregate, you know, in our headquarters which is located in a cave in Kingsland,” he joked. “We get the whole band back together and we, you know, do a few a rehearsals.” “We sound like a terrible Elemeno P covers band for the first two, and then by three, you know, it just seems to come back.” Gibson told Tame they have a WhatsApp group chat, and every couple of years they jump back on the horse. “We just really love each other and we love playing and we feel very grateful that there are still people want to come and see us play.” “We feel very lucky all these years later.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The National Public Health Service is exactly what's wrong with this country. The Health Minister, who shouldn't have had to, intervened in their submission to the district council looking at the application for McDonald's in Wanaka. Why was the health service offering a submission? Because the council asked them to. So who is more at fault (the answer is of course both of them), the council for creating work and waste, or the service for creative work and waste? The health service, among other things, talk of health. They talked of health in the wildest of contexts, like the World Health Organisation context, which essentially means anything can be dragged into the health sphere if you are determined. And my word, were they determined. They won't be in future because Shane Reti told them to stop wasting everyone's time. The irony of the outcome is the submission wasn't even correct, hinting perhaps that these people have little, if any, knowledge of what they are actually doing and simply fill their days with pointless exercises. They sighted Te Tiriti of course. What Te Tiriti has to do with fries and a chocolate shake, I have no idea, and I suspect they don't either. But that is why all this is so criminal. Te Tiriti is everywhere for no particular purpose. Its overreach has reached the point of absurdity. So hundreds of submissions, days of hearing, the Treaty and a Government department admonished by the minister. That is why nothing gets done and that is why the country is in the state it is. These people want to sell a hamburger. They want to employ locals, they want to contribute to the growth of the community and they want to pay their tax. They simply want to do business. Why is the industry and apparatus in not doing business so vast, so complicated, so expensive and so wasteful? And who is blowing it up?

This episode features Mark Simmonds of Broken Shed Vodka. It was in 2009 that two Americans came down to Lake Wanaka on holiday. They fell in love with New Zealand. They were drinking vodka martini's with Mark and the asked the question. "Why are we drinking these with imported vodka?" Mark has twenty five plus years of experience under his belt making booze. Conversations ensued and a plan was created to take vodka made in New Zealand to the United States market. They developed a recipe for their vodka that is produced from whey.

Mons Royale is a global retail success story born from the dreams of a 'ski-bum' from Wanaka. 

The Queenstown Lakes District Council is considering committing the district to $2.4 billion in capital expenditure for the decade ahead. 

While it was in Tokyo that Ellesse Andrews emerged onto the Olympic scene, it was in Paris that she established herself as the one to beat in world track cycling.  Silver in the team sprint, gold in the keirin and topped off with a gold in the individual sprint it was historic Games for the 24-year-old as she became the first woman to complete the sprint/keirin Olympic double.  Andrews' three medals took New Zealand's tally to 14 from 17 Olympiads; an impressive strike rate for a nation whose most-Googled Olympic statistic is the medals-per-capita table.  The four-time Olympic medallist told Mike Hosking she feels New Zealand's prowess in cycling comes from people up and down the country who are passionate about the sport, not just in its spiritual home of Cambridge. “I think with cycling in New Zealand it's not just about Cambridge, it's not about that hub it's about the whole country and what cycling means to the whole country. “I have grown up in various different areas around New Zealand. Wanaka being one of them, [it's] amazing for mountain biking, you know. So I would get on my mountain bike as a kid and I'd sprint [against] my parents and that was so much fun and that's what made me excited. “Moving down to Invercargill where I tried track cycling, they have an absolute passion for cycling there. They love it and so the Southland programme really, really helped nurture me Canterbury the same, there's just so many local legends in Canterbury that are just so passionate about what they do.” On Cambridge, Andrews said having a genuinely world class facility to train at gives the New Zealand team a real shot at competing with the best in the world, along with the buy-in from the local community. “Moving into Cambridge, where I moved when I was 16, [it's a] similar thing, you know, we have that facility there - it's world class. I have people who support me, sponsors, the facility, the community, everything there is just so special. “And so I think it's the tight knit community and it's the passion that's within that community.”  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How does a family farm in alpine New Zealand use a diverse range of income streams to thrive? On this episode we're joined by Lisa Johnston, operator of Frog Song Farm, located in Wanaka, New Zealand. Lisa is a farmer who wears many hats, juggling both an organic market garden and orchard pruning business. She also roasts and sells chestnuts at events and markets through her side business Village Nuts. Frog Song Farm's mission is one of regeneration and revegetation. For years Lisa and her family have studied and explored natural farming, permaculture, terraquaculture and traditional farming of the Asia Pacific. They are convinced that the farming systems of New Zealand need to undergo a paradigm shift from farming dehydrated grassed landscapes to farming diverse polycultures in hydrated, treed landscapes. From industrial farming to artisan farming. Growing better, not bigger.  As the farm emerges from this phase of intensive development, Frog Song is looking forward to welcoming more people to the land, as WWOOFers, interns, guests and visitors. Because, ultimately, it's all about the people and creating great things together. Take a vicarious tour of farming in New Zealand on this episode!

Ken Wylie was guiding climbers on British Columbia's remote La Traviata peak, when an avalanche came crashing down, burying him and 12 others. Seven people died that day in January 2003, but Ken survived. The book he wrote about the experience, Buried, is a reflection of the mistakes and the motivations that contributed to the tragedy, how it influenced the rest of his life, and how out of tragedy and guilt came some personal and professional growth. Wylie is now devoted to educating others about hazard management. He appeared recently in Wanaka at the Southern Hemisphere Alpine Conference (SHAC), which the Mountain Safety Council holds every two years.
