09:05 Whistleblowers law "weak, patchy and out of date"

Workplace whistleblowers are left unprotected by "weak, patchy and out of date" legislation, according to a new report. Kathryn Ryan talks to the report's authors Professor AJ Brown of Australia's Griffith University  and Michael Macaulay of Victoria University who compared policies across the public, private and not-for-profit sectors, and found 23 percent of public agencies don't have procedures to record or track whistleblowing incidents.

 

09:20 Interactive online STEM subject boost for NCEA students

A new online tool in education has been rolled out in Northland to help NCEA students in rural areas, where it can be difficult to attract specialist teachers of STEM subjects. STEM Online NZ is a free interactive teaching and learning resource, which supports teachers and students of science, technology, engineering and mathematics. The resource is the brainchild of Professor Graeme Aitken, the Dean of the University of Auckland's Faculty of Education.

Cleverman is an indigenous dystopian super-hero drama (not something you hear everyday!) which has been causing a stir since it was first aired in May 2016. Kathryn Ryan talks to Ryan Griffin, the show's creator, about how he journeyed deep into his Aboriginal culture to create a searing social commentary in a post-apocalyptic Australia. Now into it's second series, the Australian-New Zealand co-production (Pukeko Pictures, Weta Workshop, Park Road Post Production) continues to tackle contentious issues like racism and assimilation from an Aboriginal perspective. The second series of Cleverman can be seen on TVNZ OnDemand and Duke, which will start airing the show on Monday, July 10.
