The Education Review Office has found chronic absence in our schools has doubled over the past decade, saying we have reached a crisis point. Adam Duchac from the Tupuranga Attendance Service talks to Ryan about what's going wrong. 

NZ Post could be cutting back on the number of days it delivers mail - does it matter when we're sending hundreds of millions fewer mail items than 20 years ago? Rural Women Chief Executive Marie Fitzpatrick discusses the situation.
