A survey of 7,500 Kiwi teens has found their sexual activity has dropped - but so too has the use of condoms and other forms of contraception. The just-released Youth19 Rangatahi Smart Survey found overall, the number of sexually active students who always wore condoms had dropped from 49 per cent two decades ago, to 41 per cent. The numbers were more stark when broken down by ethnicity: 42 percent of Maori and 30 percent of Pasifika reported using contraception consistently, compared to Pakeha - at 61 per cent. To talk about why condom and contraceptive use hasn't improved in 20 years, Kathryn talks to the study's co-lead investigator, Associate Professor Terryann Clark, CEO of Family Planning Jackie Edmond and Christine Cammell, who's project lead for the School Nurses Association.

Callaghan Innovation says local companies are on the way to making billions by turning industrial and biological waste into innovative products. James Muir, Callaghan Innovation Business Innovation Advisor, Energy and Environment says a good example is Lanzatech, whose technology turns industrial gas into ethanol, which can be used as an energy source, such as jet fuel. He says 120 Kiwi CleanTech businesses are on the agency's database, 51 percent focussing on solutions for stable climate, 28 percent on smart resource use, and 21 percent on clean water. Kathryn also talks with Nigel Slaughter, Chief Exploration Officer at Nanotechnology and extraction specialist firm, Ligar.

10:05 Pioneering TEAL aviator - Oscar Garden

In 'Oscar Garden, A Tale of One Man's Love of Flying', his daughter Dr Annamaria Garden, takes a personal look at both her father's lone adventures, as well as his becoming chief pilot of TEAL, the forerunner of Air New Zealand during the flying-boat era. He was the fifth and the youngest pilot to navigate a solo journey between England and Australia. Oscar died in 1991, aged 93. Dr Garden spent the early years of her working life as an economist with Treasury in New Zealand and the UK, and is the author of six books in the field of management psychology.

They now have five icecream parlours: two in Hamilton, two in Auckand, and their latest, in Wellington's Cuba Street opened just a month ago.
