RocketLab's Peter Beck talks 50th launch, defence contracts, and looking towards Mars
In May 2017, Rocket Lab launched its first rocket into space.
Over the last seven years, the company has grown to become a powerhouse in the global aerospace industry, and has driven the growth of New Zealand’s space sector.
The company’s astronomical success has seen founder Peter Beck receive a knighthood in the recent King’s Birthday Honours.
Ahead of the company’s 50th launch, Beck joins The Front Page to discuss how far he plans the company to soar – and why the sky isn’t the limit for New Zealand.

The future of Kāinga Ora and social housing under the microscope
It’s been five years since social housing in New Zealand was put under the banner of Kāinga Ora.
Over that time, questions have been asked about the financial stability of the organisation, and the loaded remit Kainga Ora has to also lead and develop urban renewal projects.
The Government made it a priority to investigate the state of the agency, ordering a review led by former PM, Sir Bill English, that painted a stark image of its fiscal situation.
With Housing Minister Chris Bishop processing the recommendations from the report, some are wondering what the future holds for the agency responsible for over 70,000 public homes.
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan joins us to discuss his recent reporting into the future of Kainga Ora and social housing in New Zealand.

Inheritance wars: Expert advice for what to do when wills turn sour
Losing a loved one is one of the worst things a family can go through.
But it can get a lot worse if people start fighting over the will before the body’s even cold.
With so many of us relying on inheritance these days to get on the property ladder, being cut out of a will can be a devastating blow – but contesting it can sometimes be more trouble than it's worth.
So how should you go about getting your fair share, and what can you do to make sure your final wishes are clearly communicated?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior journalist Jane Phare joins to share the Dos and Don’ts she’s picked up from legal experts when it comes to inheritance.

Why are we so obsessed with Married at First Sight - and the changing face of reality TV
There’s no better way to unwind at the end of a long day of work than binging on reality TV.
From The Block, to Celebrity Treasure Island, Kiwis have always had a soft spot for the genre. Right now, the country is obsessed with Married at First Sight New Zealand, back for its fourth season after a five year hiatus.
And while we may still be mad about the genre, a lot has changed for reality TV since the local version of the international hit debuted in 2017.
Today on The Front Page, AUT University senior communications lecturer, Rebecca Trelease, joins us to discuss our MAFS obsession, and the changing world of reality TV.

How capital markets and investments are faring in a struggling economy
The global economy is still recovering from a difficult few years, and New Zealand is not immune.
The NZX 50 has been struggling recently, the recent mini-reporting season saw largely disappointing results for many companies, and the usual investment opportunities are not delivering.
In these times of difficulty though, there are plenty of opportunities for new industries to invest in, and different countries for New Zealand to look at for trade.
NZME Business editorial director, Fran O’Sullivan, is covering all these ups and downs in her latest Capital Markets and Investment special, and she joins us now on The Front Page to discuss the state of the market.

Agriculture and Trade Minister Todd McClay talks relationship between the two ahead of Fieldays
New Zealand is a farming country, and that’s not going to change anytime soon.
Agriculture and the primary sector remain central to our international trade, with export revenue hitting a record 57.8 billion in the year to June 2023.
That number is expected to dip when the next figures are announced, as the tough economic climate is felt throughout all parts of society.
Looking to get the most out of both the primary sectors here and overseas is the Minister for Agriculture and Trade, Todd McClay.
As he heads to Fieldays this week, the Minister joins The Front Page to discuss the state of his key portfolios.
