Our red meat sector appears to be sitting pretty amid a turbulent global market. 

The sector's gathering in Wellington today for a conference focusing on resilience to market shocks, export demand, and geopolitics in supply chains. 

Exports continue to surge, with combined receipts forecast around $12.6 billion across 2026 and 27. 

Special Agricultural Trade Envoy Nathan Guy told Mike Hosking it's a success story given exports are still flowing while two wars rage. 

He says the UK, China, US, and Europe markets are all performing well.

The Privacy Commissioner has some advice for schools struggling to manage student image restrictions. 

Research by Christchurch tech company Hail shows 68% of schools have accidentally published an image despite consent restrictions. 

It found 53% rely on manual processes or staff knowledge to manage these. 

Michael Webster told Mike Hosking schools should try to focus on an activity when taking photos, rather than identifiable faces. 

He says they could take a photo of sport or a school production, but not in a way that could lead to people cutting and pasting the faces of children once the photo's online.

A building physicist says townhouses and multi-unit buildings are most at risk of overheating.  

The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment says any detailed changes to fix hot homes need to avoid unintended consequences and require sector consultation.  

It told RNZ it won't be part of the Building Code review until 2031.  

Building Research Association's Stephen McNeil told Mike Hosking townhouses often have lots of floor-to-ceiling glass and can't ventilate properly.  

He says without proper glass treatment, like shading, these homes turn into greenhouses. 

McNeil told Hosking modelling should be used to understand how a house will perform. 

He says simple rules are needed, with uptake low for modelling despite being cheap at the design stage.
