Mapping the cost of our at risk kids:
Every person in the country aged up to 17 has been screened for factors that could later see their life take a turn for the worse - and cost taxpayers.
The Treasury has carried out the analysis of anonymised information after being given access to a detailed dataset compiled by the Ministry of Social Development.
The work is part of the Government's "investment approach" to social spending, which aims to identify where up-front spending can cut costs later.
Warehouse Group offers extra leave to staff struggling with domestic violence:
Victims of domestic violence among the Warehouse Group's 12,000 staff have been offered extra paid leave, in a move that Women's Refuge wants other employers to follow.
The retailer announced on Tuesday that its staff would be entitled to an extra 10 days off a year on top of existing leave to get medical treatment, attend court, and seek refuge without the burden of financial pressure.

Kiwi mum, Aussie Kids: Families immigration dilemma:
When Michelle Budd's marriage ended, she never expected it would spark a complex immigration case, which has left her struggling to support three kids.
The New Zealander moved to Australia in 2005, with her young son Benjamin in tow. She started work as a hairdresser, married an Australian man and had two children with him.
"It's not until recently that my marriage fell apart, due to domestic violence, that I realised I was on the wrong visa, so I was not classed as a permanent resident," she told Perth's Radio 6PR.
High profile deaths of Queensland women prompt copycat threats:
The highly publicised deaths of two Queensland women allegedly at the hands of their estranged partners have prompted copycat threats to other women at risk, says the state’s key domestic violence crisis service.
DV Connect’s chief executive, Di Mangan, said the chilling threats were among those reported by clients whose numbers had doubled to 400 a day since Tara Brown and Karina Lock died last week.

Sex offender register will enhance child safety - Tolley:

Women's Refuge targets misogynistic radio hosts after George FM incident:
Women's Refuge has penned an open letter to "misogynistic" New Zealand radio hosts after two young women were "slut-shamed" on-air.
George FM Breakfast hosts Kara Rickard and Thane Kirby were suspended and forced to apologise on Friday after they described the women as "do-nothing b****es" who "sit around and post half-naked pictures of themselves".
The hosts referenced their Instagram profiles, reading out their full names and calling them "rank" and hoes".
Govt pushes responsibility onto NGOs:
The government is being accused of expecting charities to do an increasing amount of the core work its agencies should be doing. The Council of Christian Social Services said in the past year a lot of complex work had shifted from Child Youth and Family to non-government organisations, with no funding increases to match.
