The Panel speaks to independent researcher John Horrocks. A major new study into how the New Zealand accent changes over time is underway at the University of Canterbury, with the help of a $614,000 grant from the Royal Society's Marsden Fund. The Panel speaks to University of Canterbury linguist and senior lecturer Dr Lynn Clark who is leading the research. Farmers are being urged to make safety a priority after a spate of accidents, including two quad bike deaths within a week.
