09:10  New CYFs legislation "unworkable" says retired judge

The Law Society says changes to the legislation governing Child, Youth and Family are unworkable and need a complete rewrite. The Children, Young Persons, and Their Families (Oranga Tamariki) Bill changes the focus of CYFs to focus on early intervention rather than the "minimum intervention" approach of the current legislation. Nine to Noon talks to retired Family Court Judge John Adams who is a member of the society's family law section.

For three nights, as the sun sets over the domain, Auckland's War Memorial Museum  will become a blank canvas for the 360 degree projection of  a life size iceberg, to showcase Antartica. Kathryn Ryan talks to visual artist Joseph Michael who captured the footage in a month-long expedition to the frozen continent in 2015.  ANTARCTICA: while you were sleeping, is a collaboration with the Auckland Arts Festival and Auckland Museum. The three night installation is free and open to anyone to come and watch the 45 minute loop. There are also two talks accompanying the exhibition, an artist talk on Friday March 24, and on Saturday March 25 there will be a panel discussion on climate change in partnership with the Deep South Challenge.

And you can also listen to Alison Ballance's four-part podcast of Joseph Michael's trip to Antarctica.
