New claims about the spread of the invasive velvetleaf weed

The culprit in the South Island has been identified as fodder beet seed, sourced from Italy and certified by Danish authorities and imported and planted last year.In the north Island MPI says the source is not new, rather the result of an old incursion back in 2011. Farmers in Bay of Plenty and Waikato, disagree. Hew Dalrymple is the Maize Vice Chairman from the Federated Farmers. Colin MacKinnon is the Bay Of Plenty Chairman of the Arable section. Trevor James from AG Research in Hamilton is in charge of the identification of weed seed.

David Gross is a trained chef, activist, filmaker and the host of Wastecooking an Austrian dumpster diving TV show. He talks about whipping up creative meals from what other people throw away, fighting food waste in the process.
His documentary Waste Cooking is part of the Resene Architecture & Design Film Festival 2016.

Read an edited excerpt of their conversation below:
Have some of us developed mental blocks about food because we’re not that familiar with it?
Yes. You see this disconnection everywhere and people don’t even think about the history of the product. This is really important. You mentioned the kids, when you start cooking with kids or start hunting for wild plants, it changes quite a lot. I think this is really important to reconnect to food, to the source, to wild plants, to agriculture, because once you’re re-connected, it’s painful to throw fresh food away while other people are starving.
That is a very interesting point because I know a lot of the older people you spoke to, one person who lived through the war had a very different attitude. The attitude was, you never throw away food and they’re incredibly efficient with their food. Those who have come through the heavily commercialised years of food production, they’re the wasters.
Yes, he is really inspiring guy and he said a quote I like so much. He said, “Cooking is a political act but we can’t all be Che Guavera, some of us have to peel the potatoes” and I like this approach very much because I think it is a highly political topic, eating and cooking and at the end it makes sense to cook food that would otherwise end up in trash and it changes everything. Starting waste diving and waste cooking changed my entire life.
You went to the fish auctions in France, what did you learn there?
France was very interesting because there is a lot of fish waste in the industry, almost one third of all fish caught around France is wasted. They catch a lot of other fish as well, but they can’t sell it so they throw it back, but when they throw it back, the fish is already dead. When I saw this on the fisher boat, I couldn’t believe it and I started picking up the little fish that they usually waste and started cooking fish soup and served it to the staff of the boat.
In the European Union, 90 million tonnes of food ends up in the bin. That’s 180kg per EU citizen. This took you off to the European parliament in Belgium. What did you discover there? Is this becoming more of a political issue?
It is becoming a political issue, yes. In fact, our ideas, well, they always say they need to do something in the European Union about the food waste and so on but we wanted to know, what about their own canteen. What about their leftovers there? So we kind of jumped and dived into the canteen and the garbage of the European parliament so we transformed the leftovers from the canteen, not the leftovers from the plates, the leftovers in the kitchen. For example, they expect 1000 people to eat at the cafeteria and only 500 come, so they have 500 plates they can’t sell, so, a lot of leftovers. We transformed these leftovers into new dishes and at the end they said this food tastes better than the food they normally have at the canteen and hopefully they really start doing something about food waste. To be honest I more count on the civil society.

Alcohol & teens - police advice for parents
BODY:
As ball season looms, what do parents need to know about supplying alcohol to teens, and hosting parties where alcohol is present? Sergeant Andy Smith, Police National Coordinator of Alcohol Harm Reduction.
EXTENDED BODY:
As ball season looms, what do parents need to know about supplying alcohol to teens, or hosting parties where alcohol is present?
Last week, several organised after-ball parties were cancelled after police warned it was illegal for anyone unlicensed to run a party where people drink and where there was any sort of money charged, regardless of age.
But what about a pre-ball or after-ball party, being hosted in a private home?
Can a host gain express consent of the parent or guardian of a minor and provide them with alcohol - legally?
Sgt Andy Smith, Police National Coordinator of Alcohol Harm Reduction says that a number of changes have affected the laws around the supply of alcohol to minors, in particular what constitutes responsible supply.
“It is important that parents and organiser understand what those rules are,” he says.
"The safest way to put it is if you are going to have a part of that nature you have to consider yourself as the duty manager of your home."
Andy Smith talks to Kathryn Ryan about what responsibilities parents have around these events - read an edited snapshot of their conversation
KR: Is the onus on the person hosting the party to establish the age of those at the party?
AS: If I was hosting a party – I’ve got a teenage daughter and she wanted to bring her friends around and one of them turned up and said ”I’m 18” I’d certainly want to confirm that.’
KR: If someone wants to host one of these events at their home, or at a venue, legally what are the issues surrounding doing to people under the age of 18?
AS: Firstly you need express consent – from parent to parent. It’s more than a note from mum, it’s like an informal contract between the parent of the child who’s going to the party and the parent of the person who is hosting it. It’s about saying – look here is my child is under the purchasing age I’m happy for them to be at your party, I’m happy for them to consume alcohol in a responsible manner.
KR: What if young people without express consent turn up?
AS: Once you’re in an environment where you supply alcohol to a minor without that consent, that’s where you step over the line. You have to monitor who is at the party and turn people away at the door if they don’t have that consent.
KR: What is responsible supply?
AS: The standards for this are clearly laid out in the act. As a host you must:
Active supervision of the consumption of alcohol – so keep tabs on what the minors are drinking and watch them
Make sure food is provided
Provide a low or non-alcoholic option
Take into account what the event is – consider the nature of the event and how old the young people are
Think about how long you’ll provide alcohol and the strength of it
And be aware of how guests will get home
KR: What about BYO, when people turn up with their own alcohol?
AS: If you are running a party with people who are under the purchase age, you will have to take that alcohol and take control of it, because otherwise they might distribute it on your premises.
KR: How would parents go about taking alcohol off young people? What practically do people have to do?
AS: In a practical sense the first element of what responsible supply would actually go before the party – you’d say “don’t be turning up with a bottle of vodka".
KR: What if a young person turns up and they have been preloading should you be assessing their level of intoxication?
AS: You want to introduce people to alcohol in a safe way, rather than encouraging them to have a “rip up’ party and binge drink. If you have that express consent prior to them arriving you will know who their parents are and the responsible thing to do would be to ring up and say “look your song or your daughter has turned up intoxicated, can you come and get them?”

Goodie goodie - bird watching with Bill Oddie
BODY:
Use your ears and spend time on your own just listening and observing birds - good advice from one of the world's best known bird-watchers and ex-Goodie, Bill Oddie.
EXTENDED BODY:
Ex-Goodie Bill Oddie is one of the world’s best known bird-watchers, but although he's very serious about birds his comic side still shines through. He says that when it comes to bird-watching he’s what a friend calls an ‘arser’, rather than a ‘legger', meaning he’s more likely to find somewhere he can sit quietly to listen and watch, rather than walking around hoping to come across birds.
Quiet time, on your own, is Bill’s best advice for any budding birders.
And the most useful piece of equipment (ahead of a pair of binoculars)? Your ears.
Bill Oddie first became famous as part of the English TV comedy trio ‘The Goodies’, in the 1970s and early 1980s. Since then he has become equally well-known as a bird-watcher, presenter of many BBC wildlife programmes such as Springwatch and Autumnwatch, and the author of a number of books about birds.
Bill’s fascination with birds began at age 6, when he stumbled across a cuckoo’s egg in a bird’s nest hidden in a local hedge. Collecting bird’s eggs was a popular past time in the 1950s, and by the time he got to secondary school Bill says he had amassed quite a collection of eggs. Over time he became much more interested in observing birds than in the now illegal practise of egg collecting, but he pays tribute to the skills he learnt from his childhood hobby.
He says that he spent lots of time on his own, watching birds, learning their calls and finding out about bird behaviour through first-hand observation. He regrets that the solitary wandering he was so fond of is something which modern children get very little opportunity to do.
Bill says that most birds are heard before they are seen, and now that he’s in his mid-70s one of his biggest frustrations is that he is losing the ability to hear high frequency bird calls.
Despite that, he still gets as much pleasure as ever from birds, especially local birds in his North London garden and on nearby Hampstead Heath. Bill has also become an ardent conservationist, lending support to a number of wildlife charities both in the UK and around the world.
Bill Oddie has been in New Zealand as a guest of the Auckland Writer’s Festival and the Royal Society of New Zealand. He is giving a public talk on Stewart Island at 6.30pm on Saturday 21 May.

1:15 Explaining the Auckland Housing Crisis
[image:68868:half]
Everyone seems to have a view on what is needed to solve the Auckland housing crisis, but how many of those ideas are achievable?
An independent panel has spent the last 20 months hearing and arguments about what should be done and is about to put forward a draft Unitary Plan. Now the government has put Auckland Council on notice that it will step in if the council does not ease restrictions and open up more urban land for development. And the Labour Party is pushing for urban/rural boundaries to be scrapped and density controls eased, arguing they're driving up land and house prices.
The head of the Urban Design Forum, Auckland architect Graeme Scott has been close involved with the design of the Hobsonville Point development, which he sees as the perfect example of what can be achieved when the focus is on creating communities not just more houses.
He wants more intervention, including compulsary land acquisition, so that planners can create more developments throughout the region.
1:25 Pilot says Lake Pukaki foreshore being seriously damaged by tourists
McKenzie basin pilot, Chris Rudge is calling for action over the destruction of the previously pristine foreshore of Lake Pukaki by tourists and freedom campers. He regularly flies tourists from the Pukakai air strip and gets a daily birds eye view of the stunning turquoise lake and surrounding land. He says the foreshore has become rutted from tyre tracks and there used toilet paper has been strewn about.

1:35 New Zealand's Wikipedia edit-athon
Many of New Zealand's rare and endangered native creatures do not have their own wikipedia pages. A team of citizen scientists is out to change that.
A team of wiki-nerds as they call themselves, are planning an edit-athon, which will take place at Te Papa in Wellington on Sunday 29th May, to improve Wikipedia's coverage of some our native and endangered species..
The project is being led by Dr Mike Dickison, the Curator of Natural History, Whanganui Regional Museum.

A radical approach to charity
BODY:
GiveDirectly aims to help people living in extreme poverty in Kenya and Uganda by making unconditional cash transfers via mobile phone. Paul Brennan talks to Ian Bassin about this radical, but simple idea.
EXTENDED BODY:
GiveDirectly started working in Kenya in 2011 expanding into Uganda in 2015 - and according to a recent Guardian article the small California based not for profit has sent shockwaves through the charity sector.
Forbes magazine dubbed its approach as radical, while the Economist said it's as extraordinary as "throwing money out of helicopters".
But what's so new about giving poor people money? Perhaps the way it's being done.
A 2011 paper from the UK Department for International Development said a "quiet revolution" over the past 15 years has seen cash-transfer schemes move "from the margins of development policy towards the mainstream" and Givedirectly is at the sharp end of that quiet revolution.
Givedirectly's co-founder Paul Niehaus has described the organisation as 'the most stripped down, simplified model of giving help to poor people."
We thought we would find out more so Paul Brennan spoke to Ian Bassin from GiveDirectly.
