Compliance issues with construction in Auckland
BODY:
With Auckland facing unpredecented growth in construction over the next few years it's a juggling act to make sure all building work is up to standard and that there are enough skilled tradespeople to fill the demand. Ian McCormick is the Auckland Council's Manager of Building Control, he sees first hand where the system is working and where it falls short. He says a new problem is some home owners creating a non compliant secondary dwelling within their existing house, that they can rent. The Government's last National Construction Pipeline Report stated that $200 billion worth of building projects are expected over the next few years, driven by Auckland housing activity. It predicted 80,000 new homes will be built in Auckland alone by 2020, compared with 30,000 over the past six years.

Grayson Perry's 'Pretty Little Art Career'
BODY:
Artist, Turner Prize winner, broadcaster, transvestite and worshipper of teddy bears. Grayson Perry is a flamboyant concoction of many things, not least, satire. He talks to Nine to Noon about what makes him tick and his first exhibition in the Southern hemisphere, being shown at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia exhibition Grayson Perry: My Pretty Little Art Career. He's one of Britain's best known artists of his generation, and winner of the 2003 Turner Prize, primarily known for his ceramics, sculptures and tapestries, not to mention a love of pop culture. His largest ever project was a recent foray into architecture with his eccentric make-over of a House for Essex in collaboration with Charles Holland of FAT Architecture. Perry's exhibition runs until 1st May 2016.
EXTENDED BODY:
Works by Grayson Perry, one of Britain's most popular artists, are on show for the first time in the southern hemisphere.
Turner Prize winner, broadcaster, transvestite and worshipper of teddy bears, the artist is a flamboyant concoction of many things - not least satire.
His work is on show at his first exhibition in the Southern Hemisphere.
The exhibition at the Museum of Contemporary Art Australia, titled My Pretty Little Art Career, covers a complete cross-section of everything he's done over the last 30 years.
It is the biggest exhibition of his work ever, featuring tapestries, ceramics - and the largest vase he has ever made, Mr Perry told Nine to Noon.
"Each piece took months sometime to make.
"When I walk around the gallery I get almost slightly depressed at the number of man hours of my life that are sort of gathered together in one place."
Mr Perry was the first potter to win the acclaimed Turner Prize and said the win was a breakthrough for the perception of pottery.
"There's certainly been more of an acceptance of craft media in the art world.
"There's no thing that you have to do to be an artist anymore, you can make a career - if you do it in the right way - doing anything, even pottery."
However, he said there will still minimum requirements for art.
"You've got to convince other people that what you're doing is art.
"You can shout 'til you're blue in the face - if nobody agrees with you, then it probably isn't."
Mr Perry said he ended up in ceramics by chance.
"I was a squatter, I didn't have a studio - my girlfriend's sister suggested going to the local evening classes because they were cheap and quite fun."
"I'm always interested in anything that makes the art world slightly uncomfortable, because that's a sign that perhaps the great 'baggy-bag' of art isn't quite expansive and welcoming as it would like to think it was."
Mr Perry, who is a transvestite and has a female alter-ego named Claire, said he was proud if he met someone he had been able to help deal with their transvestism.
He said the theme of angry young men recurred across the world.
"Masculinity is an issue that we need to deal with in the world.
"All of the problems of the world would be easier to deal with if we didn't just deal with the overarching one, which is masculinity."
Mr Perry said as he got older he found his work was less "spiky".
"Perhaps I try to make things that are more joyful.
"Despite some of the gloomy subjects I have dealt over the years I hope people will come out of the exhibition feeling uplifted, because of a sort of visual joie de vivre."
Listen to Grayson Perry talking to Kathryn Ryan on Nine to Noon.
The Museum of Contemporary Art Australia exhibition Grayson Perry: My Pretty Little Art Career runs until 1st May 2016.
If you can't make it that far you can also see his an example of his work at Wellington's City Gallery.

Giving back - Leprosy Mission NZ in Bangladesh
BODY:
It's a disease of poverty. There are about 5 million people affected by leprosy around the globe. Lynda Chanwai-Earle and Justin Gregory bring us a story about high profile Asian New Zealanders in Bangladesh bringing aid to leprosy sufferers. The group of 6 are part of New Zealand's Leprosy Mission and they're there to give back to their home country.
EXTENDED BODY:
Bernard Gomez is no stranger to the annual flooding disasters facing Bangladesh, his home country. He was interviewed by Geoff Robinson during his work there for World Vision in 1998 but on January 22, 2016 Bernard’s mission that has seen him travel back there is very different.
Annual flooding disasters in Bangladesh causes more than widespread homelessness, diseases follow and the repercussions that result can cripple already vulnerable communities in third world countries.
Leprosy (also known as Hanson's Disease) is an often stigmatised and misunderstood disease caused by a bacterium that attacks nerves in the hands, feet and face. One of the oldest diseases known to mankind, if left untreated, leprosy can affect the peripheral nerves and cause the fingers and toes to claw inwards.
It’s a disease of poverty. According to The Leprosy Mission New Zealand (LMNZ), there are around 5 million people affected by leprosy around the globe, with thousands afflicted in Bangladesh every year.
Bangladesh is one of the poorest and most densely populated countries in the world and leprosy is still a major health problem - The Leprosy Mission New Zealand.
The disease can also attack the eyes, resulting in infections, cataracts and even preventable blindness. Ulcers and infections in the hands and feet are common because bruises, cuts and burns are ignored when the skin loses sensitivity. Untreated infections can become so severe that disfigurement and amputations may result.
Many leprosy-affected people live in extreme poverty and face stigma and discrimination in their daily lives.
Historical discrimination against people with leprosy in Bangladesh was legally sanctioned and sufferers could be arrested on sight. Finally on the 24th November 2011 the Bangladesh Government repealed the 1898 'Lepers Act' that segregated people with leprosy from society.
The disease is curable with a success rate of around 99% if sufferers are given a combination of drugs. Disability can be completely avoided if leprosy is diagnosed and treated early enough.
LMNZ has a long partnership in the Chittagong Region which has one of the highest prevalence rates of leprosy in the country. LMNZ have had a number of projects operating in Chittagong for the last 15 years or more and it's one of these projects that Bernard Gomez is taking part in.
A group of four volunteer Asian New Zealanders including Ataur Rahman (the Hon Consul for Bangladesh) have just arrived in Bangladesh this month to bring aid to leprosy sufferers as part of New Zealand’s Leprosy Mission. This pilot programme is a first for the Ministry of Foregn Affairs and Trade (MFAT) to support Asian volunteers.
It’s part of a new ‘super diversity’ trend in NZ Aid and Development but for the four Asian volunteers, it’s much more personal because the group are working for The Leprosy Mission, there to give back to their home country.
Who’s going and how will they help? Just before their departure Justin Gregory attended the Leprosy Mission HQ in Auckland to learn more. Introductions were facilitated by LMNZ Board member Phil Johnstone, who is currently in Bangladesh with the group.
Bernard Gomez works at the Office of Ethnic Communities as a Senior Diversity Advisor, (Department of Internal Affairs). As a community leader, Bernard's connections with the Bangladesh community and his previous experiences working with NGO's such as World Vision on the ground in Bangladesh made him an invaluable member of the group but this was Bernard's first time to work with leprosy. He tells Justin he has learned a lot about the disease and just how much stigma surrounded it.
Brent Morgan (Executive Director,Leprosy Mission New Zealand) tells Justin that the LMNZ has been working in Chittagong for the last 15 years, particularly with sustainable micro-enterpriose development projects.
LMNZ works with groups of leprosy survivors who have been marginaised from their communities, to enable them to find meaningful work to lift them out of dire poverty. The overall aim of the project is better quality of life through sustainable economic living and social inclusion for the 3800 approx disabled/marginalised/excluded poor people being targeted. The Leprosy Mission works in partnership with a Cooperative association that comprises federations of these self-help groups.
The leprosy mission provides funding and lots of support and works closely with the partner organisation as it sets up the self-help groups etc. Titled the Chittagong People-Led Development Project, it's funded by Leprosy Mission supporters in NZ and gets match funding from the New Zealand Government.
LMNZ also educate local communities about the disease, helping overcome stigma and superstitions surrounding it. They encourage the communities to embrace the leprosy survivors and bring them back into the families and neighborhoods.
Dr Bashir Ahmed is a GP and owner of the St Lukes Medical Centre, Auckland. As a Bangladeshi he was asked to return home share both his medical knowledge but also his entrepreneurial knowledge in the medical business. Dr Bashir tells Justin that he aims to return to do more voluntary work in the future.
The only woman in the group is Purabi Bhuiyan. Purabi has had plenty of experience working with NGO's and the UN in the Asian regions, but particularly in Bangladesh. Chittagong is also her home city. Growing up there as a child she tells Justin that she also had to overcame her own childhood prejudices against leprosy.
Women sufferers of leprosy have had to face double stigma and prejudice. How difficult is it to work for the marginalsied within the marginalised?
Purabi's background and education has focused on women's rights, health and well-being in third world countries, but her expertise also covers micro-enterprise development.
Purabi is very keen to keep utilsing her skills in Chittagong. She is optimistic about the growing awareness of women's rights in Bangladesh.
She tells Justin that she sees the motivation to improve living standards and to speak out against inequity amongst women as growing too. She believes that it starts with the women, especially when women educate their own family members from within their communities.
Other Leprosy Mission New Zealand Projects:
Chittagong Sustainable Development Project (CSDP)-provides leprosy-affected individuals and their families with the skills and knowledge they need to take control of their own lives.
Chittagong Hill Tracts Programme- helps to reduce the prevalence of leprosy and ensures leprosy-affected families have access to vital health services, education about self-care and skills training so they can lift themselves and their communities out of poverty.

3:10 Adam Stelzner
There's just plain crazy and there's the right kind of crazy. A career as a NASA engineer seemed crazy to Adam Stelzner when he was an average student, failing geometry, playing bass in a band. But that changed when he found his passion in the stars. Landing a rover safely on Mars seemed crazy too, but Stelzner led the team that put Curiosity on the Red Planet. He talks about the right stuff the engineers on the ground need to pull off big projects in space in his new book, "The Right Kind of Crazy: A True Story of Teamwork, Leadership, and High-Stakes Innovation."

Film-maker Taika Waititi says he knew he was on to a winner when the Sundance film festival audience applauded his latest film.
The adventure comedy Hunt For the Wilderpeople premiered at the US festival earlier today and has already drawn praise from international critics who attended the screening.
The Guardian and Roger Ebert.com have both dubbed a hit, while the Hollywood Reporter said it was "a deliciously good time".
Watch the trailer for Hunt For The Wilderpeople here:
Waititi told Checkpoint's John Campbell the film played to capacity crowds at each screening.
"It's great to hear 1300 people laughing at these jokes you thought might be funny a year ago ... [and] hearing people crying at the right places and then big roars of applause and cheers at the end - it was really amazing."
There had already been interest from distributors, Waititi said.
New Zealand reporter David Farrier's documentary Tickled, which delves into the strange underground world of competitive tickling, is also premiering at Sundance today to positive early reviews.
