Our education system is in a code red emergency. We are failing our students, parents and educators yet we are unwilling to have constructive debate on the root cause. Hot topics like the structured literacy versus balanced literacy debate results in sensationalist biased headlines that deepen the ideological divide. According to New Zealand's Audi…

Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times.

If you ask most people, a safe and just community is a key part of social cohesion. People want safety to go about their business, certainty that there are consequences for bad actions and opportunities for both success and redemption. But what does that look like? A large topic of discussion is whether we are tough enough on crime. Are we doing en…

Nothing is certain but death and taxes. Death is coming for all of us, but why are we so afraid of talking about it? As a doctor, most of my job has been about saving people. Saving people from harm to their body or mind and alleviating suffering. But what if some of our choices are causing more suffering? What if by sterilising and ignoring the pr…

One of the biggest challenges facing us in the 21st century is significant demographic change. We have an ageing population with people living much longer and with fewer children being born.

This is part two of a two part series with Dr. Mike Murphy. On episode one, we took a deep dive into the relationship between the healthcare system and the pharmaceutical industry.

As doctors, we rely on the pharmaceutical industry to produce medications, from everyday paracetamol to advanced targeted cancer therapies. The industry faces constant pressure to innovate and create profit for shareholders, while governments face pressure to approve and fund these medicines from patients and clinicians. What we are seeing is a ris…

Modern day living values universal individual freedom and rights. This has helped open the doors to many great things like individual reproductive choices, same sex marriage and a focus on tackling discrimination against immutable characteristics. But what are the trade-offs? I have this growing feeling that we no longer have communities, at least …

As doctors, we carry an enormous amount of risk; sometimes, we quite literally hold people's lives in our hands. Under these extraordinary circumstances, with increasing expectations and limited health resources, it's no wonder the pressures on our health workforce are sky-high, making hospitals an even less welcoming place for both patients and he…

This is Revolving Door Syndrome, and I am Dr Nina Su. Everywhere you look, the statistics tell a story of Maori doing worse. Of Maori struggling, of Maori poverty.

Why in this age of hyper connectivity and social media are we lonelier than ever? Regardless of race, gender, sexuality, or class, mental health for young people is getting worse.

Falling literacy rates are a concern in New Zealand and developed countries around the world. The future generations of New Zealanders are based on the early foundations we set in childhood.

Food waste affects our growers, sellers and our wallets. It affects our farmers who try to grow food that meets strict beauty standards.

It affects our environment where wasted food decomposing in landfill contributes to our greenhouse gas emissions and…

Widespread, free and quality education has lifted the masses out of poverty. Or at least that's what it used to do.

Let's talk about sex. Sex education has been a particularly divisive topic, yet hasn't really had the quality debate about what good sex education should look like. I get it. People probably have very mixed experiences on how sex education was delivered to them by their schools or their parents. Some people feel squeamish about delivering sex educa…

As the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. And in the context of our health system, prevention looks like a strong primary care service that’s focused on keeping you healthy and out of the emergency department. The problem is though, Primary Care, as we know it, is broken. Our current funding model has driven GP practices …

Cults have come and gone but for the survivors, the trauma remains. Most every day people think that they'd be immune to a cult and could never fall for something as silly as a cult. The reality is that anyone can end up falling into a cult willingly or unwillingly whether as an adult or child. It is important that we equip ourselves with the skill…

Imagine a future where healthcare looks more like the tiers of a Netflix subscription. Where if you can afford it, your premium, gold-plated health service gets you your own personal family doctor. Meanwhile, those on the ‘free tier’ still get access to healthcare, but it’s delivered via algorithm and internet. In the eyes of Melissa Clark-Reynolds…

The issues of health, education and welfare can often feel intangible and immovable.

Rarely in conversation, do we hear about the state of Asian health. Despite being over 15% of the NZ population, it feels like this issue has dropped completely off the map. If we take the data at face value, it appears that on average asians in New Zealand, are doing alright. But within this demographic are a superdiverse population, heterogenous …

For a long time, New Zealand has traded off the back of its agricultural and farming expertise. Producing enough food to feed 40 million, we export most of that overseas.
