The Justice Minister talks with Kathryn about his plans for the biggest changes to the criminal justice system for 30 years. Andrew Little is not ruling out law changes, even before the next election. He says a major summit to be held the week after next, is the first step in reforming what he says is a broken system. The summit later this month will include experts in criminal justice, victims, victims' advocates, and front-line workers.

A group of five industry members have joined together to challenge MPI's directive to contain or destroy over 48,000 seedlings, because they were unauthorised goods under the bio-security act. The seedlings were mainly for apples, peaches and apricots and included new varieties of fruit, being developed for the market.  The group claims the Ministry's behaviour is costly and unnecessary,  it would destroy the benefits of six years work spent in developing new fruit varieties and take 10 years to catch up. MPI has agreed that no trace of serious diseases had been found among the cuttings but said it could take no chances on biosecurity.  Kathryn talks with Kerry Sixtus from Pattulo's Nurseries.

10:05 Sport and New Zealanders: A History

Why does sport mean so much to New Zealanders? Do Kiwis punch above their weight internationally? What role have Maori played in NZ's sporting life? And why did rugby become more popular than football? These are questions that academic and sport enthusiasts, Greg Ryan and Geoff Watson have attempted to answer in their book, Sport and the New Zealanders: A History. They join Kathryn to talk through NZ's rich tapestry of sporting life.

Arguably, the 1956 Springbok tour represented the high-water mark of rugby nationalism in New Zealand. The All Blacks prevailed 3–1 in an intensely contested series. Businesses were well aware of public interest in the tour, as seen in this window display at G. Mitchinson, Tobacconist, in Featherston Street, Wellington. W. D. & H. O.

Swimming pools were readily available in New Zealand compared to many other places in the world. Pictured here c. 1950 are the Hokowhitu School Swimming Baths in Palmerston North, which were built by unemployed workers on a relief scheme during the depression.

Agricultural and pastoral associations played an important role in promoting sport, as providers of both facilities and sporting events, notably show days.

So now you've hit the turbulent teens - what to do ? They're attracted to risk, increasingly distracted, and less and less attached to adults. Many conventional forms of parenting rely on tools such as rewards and consequences and while these strategies work quite well with most young adults, they are least likely to work with the ones who have the most behavioural needs. Adrienne Wood, an ex high school teacher and lecturer in human development, who works with parents of adolescents and pre-teens experiencing significant behavioural issues. She talks to Nine to Noon about using the attachment-based developmental theory of Canadian psychologist Gordon Neufeld.
