Podmore had represented New Zealand in the 2016 Olympics, but was not selected five years later. Her death sparked shock throughout the close knit cycling community and wider sporting network, and the culture at Cycling NZ was eventually investigated. Now, over three years later, a coronial inquiry into Podmore’s death is due to begin today. NZ Herald reporter Tom Dillane has been covering the story for the last three years, and joins us today on The Front Page to discuss Olivia Podmore’s life, career, and her tragic death.

What is the 4B movement that is seeing US women swear off men post-Trump?

People respond to election losses in various ways, from protesting to legal action to considering moving country. But, what about adopting a vow of celibacy through something called the “4B movement”? That’s what some young women in the US have promised on social media in protest of Donald Trump winning back the White House. No dating. No sex, No childbirth. And no marriage. In a world where: the next US President was found liable for sexual abuse, online vitriol against women is skyrocketing, and the term “your body, my choice” is trending online... how effective could this 4B movement be? University of Otago PhD candidate Rachel Billington has researched how young people interact with each other online, and joins us now on The Front Page to discuss this growing movement.

Treaty Principles Bill: The controversial bill arrives in Parliament as protests continue

David Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to Parliament last week – with its first reading debate scheduled for today. The bill has sparked fierce criticism since it was included as part of National and Act’s coalition agreement last year. Protests are expected outside Parliament today, while thousands of marchers protesting Government policies affecting Maori crossed the Auckland Harbour Bridge yesterday as part of a hikoi to Parliament. So, now that we’ve actually seen the Bill, what’s in it, and what are the chances of it actually getting across the line? Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls joins us to discuss one of the most contentious Government bills in recent memory.

Can Trump fix America's economic problems - or are they bigger than one politician?

As votes continue to be counted in the US, President-elect Donald Trump has swept all seven battleground states, confirming his dominant performance in the country’s election. While many were shocked that the US would return to Trump after four years, many voters have made it clear their feelings about high inflation and the cost of living under the Biden administration swayed them towards the Republicans. It’s a similar sentiment that helped National, Act and NZ First ascend to power in our election last year. But, in a global economic environment, how much sway does one political leader have over how much you're paying for groceries and petrol? Today on The Front Page, we discuss this with NZ Herald business editor at large, Liam Dann. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Gen Z in the workplace: Are they asking for too much or setting a new standard?

Gen Z can be credited with a few things – an uptick in climate awareness, the ability to work any kind of technology, and the revival of straight leg jeans, just to name a few. However, recruiters across the ditch in Australia have spoken out about Gen Z graduates’ demands on employers –saying their arrogant expectations are leaving a bad taste in their bosses’ mouths. The oldest of the generation, born between 1997 and 2012, are 27 years old, so they are set to stick around in the workplace for quite some time. So are they in their wrong with their approach to work, or are they actually onto something? Today on The Front Page, recruitment agency Robert Walters, CEO of Australia & NZ Shay Peters, joins us to discuss the impact of our youngest generation of workers.

‘Shrinkflation’ is becoming more common - but, what is it?

Ever feel like you’re getting less bang for your buck at the supermarket? Well you might be right. As production costs rise, many companies have been resorting to what’s called ‘Shrinkflation’. Rather than raising the cost to the consumer, they make the product smaller while charging the same price. According to a Global Inflation Monitor survey in 2023, 46% of consumers said that they have noticed shrinkflation, with 55% of kiwi consumers noticing the tactic and the same amount stating the practice was an unacceptable response to rising costs. Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Massey University marketing professor, Bodo Lang to discuss the ethics behind shrinkflation. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What a Trump win means for NZ: ‘The devil will be in the detail’

Donald J. Trump will become the 47th President of the United States of America. Democrat Kamala Harris called the former president to congratulate him and offer their support for a peaceful transition of power. Trump won’t take up office until January 20 next year – and there are a few things that’ll happen between now and then. He faces sentencing for his felony conviction for a start, that’s put down for November 26. A judge, though, could decide to throw it out though before then. There are then some formalities – like appointing some 4000 political positions in a new administration – and it’ll be next year when the idea of tariffs will come to the fore, but it’s something the rest of the world is already anticipating. On the campaign trial, he promised anywhere from 10 to 20% tariffs on imports. So, what does that mean for New Zealand exporters, specially given the US is one of our biggest trading partners? Today on The Front Page, Beef and Lamb NZ chair, Kate Acland is with us to discuss, but first, we speak to NZUS Council executive director Fiona Cooper, about our blossoming relationship with the United States – and why we should all probably take a deep breath.

Ultra-fast fashion: who is really paying the price?

The rise and rise of online retailers has hit an all-time high – with the likes of Temu and Shein dominating consumption worldwide. New research has revealed over the course of three months, one in four New Zealanders surveyed purchased products from ultra-fast fashion retailer Temu. A further 14% of Kiwis are estimated to have recently purchased from Shein. The stats keep coming: Tearfund’s 2021 Ethical Fashion Report found in 2019 that 40% of clothes imported into New Zealand could be made using forced and child labour. It’s all while one study found garments were thrown out after no more than 10 wearings. So, when it comes to t-shirts and dresses being sold as low as $6 – who is really paying the price? Today on The Front Page, Tearfund head of advocacy Claire Gray joins us to discuss. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
