Protecting our police: Should NZ frontline officers carry guns?

Growing concern about public safety has reignited the idea of arming our frontline police officers. The police union says 68% of officers support routine arming – and, our new police commissioner, Richard Chambers, is apparently ‘open’ to discussions around it – although he’s also said we’re ‘proud of having unarmed police’ and he’d like to keep it that way. This is all while, in the first hours of 2025, a car rammed into a police vehicle at a Nelson gathering – Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming later died in hospital, another officer was critically injured. This was followed by another attempted ramming a week later. So do we need to look at better protect those whose jobs are to protect us – or are there risks to giving more power to the police? Today on The Front Page, Auckland University criminology lecturer Dr. Emmy Rākete joins us to discuss. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

On the ground as fires burn through LA: What lessons can NZ take from this disaster?

Destructive. Devastating. Apocalyptic. That’s how the wildfires burning across Los Angeles over the last week have been described. The blazes have largely brought the US’ second largest city to a standstill, destroying thousands of buildings have been destroyed, and forcing tens of thousands of people to evacuate. It comes as officials declare 2024 the hottest year on record, with temperatures breaching the target of 1 point 5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels for the first time. Today on The Front Page, we’ll be discussing the ongoing climate risks that New Zealand faces with Victoria University of Wellington Professor Jonathan Boston. But first, we’re in Los Angeles with 9 News USA correspondent, Lauren Tomasi. Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.

Billionaire to political influencer: Is Elon Musk now the most powerful person in the world?

Billionaire Elon Musk is not content with just having the ear of US President elect Donald Trump. Over the past few weeks, the world’s richest man has weighed in on European politics, first writing an op-ed backing Germany’s far-right AFD party. But the UK has become a particular obsession, with Musk frequently commenting on his social media platform, X, about child grooming and rape gangs, laying the blame squarely at the feet of the six-month old Labour Government. So why is the tech mogul so interested in politics overseas, and how are the US’ European allies meant to respond when Musk is firmly in Trump’s inner circle? Today on The Front Page, senior reporter for CNN Politics Stephen Collinson joins us from Washington DC to discuss the thinking behind Musk’s political commentary.

Chris vs Christopher: What our two main party leaders told The Front Page in 2024

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. The 2023 general election was a battle between the two Chrises – Labour's Chris Hipkins, and National’s Christopher Luxon. It was a battle that Luxon ended up winning, thanks to the support of two coalition partners in Act and NZ First. But it’s a match-up that currently looks set to be repeated next year, with Hipkins sticking around as Labour’s leader – and showing no signs of stepping aside. That’s likely because the polls between the coalition and Labour, the Greens and Te Pati Māori remain pretty evenly split. At the end of 2024, we caught up with both leaders a week apart for a wrap of the year. New episodes return January 13th.

How Trump's election caused '4B Movement' to gain ground on social media

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. 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 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 joined us in November on The Front Page to discuss this growing movement.

25 years since Columbine: Victim's father warns NZ over gun law changes

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. Once it came into power, the coalition Government signalled “everything’s on the table” when it comes to a major shake-up of New Zealand’s gun laws. The world praised us when we took swift action following the Christchurch terror attack – banning semi-automatic firearms and assault rifles. But, now a coalition agreement between National and Act could see semi-automatics make a return to gun ranges. Various stages of reform are currently been worked through by politicians. In the US, April 20 marked 25 years since the Columbine high school massacre – where two teenagers murdered 12 students and a teacher. 15-year-old Daniel Mauser was one of those killed in the school’s library. Daniel’s father, Tom, has spent the last 25 years advocating for gun control in America – and he joined us on The Front Page to discuss why New Zealand shouldn’t be complacent when it comes to firearms.

Gloriavale's past, present and future explored in documentary series

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. For over 50 years, the secretive Christian community of Gloriavale has fascinated New Zealanders. While the community has long been discussed by former members who have left Gloriavale behind, in the last few years, multiple official investigations and Employment Court proceedings have shone more light on what's happening behind the scenes. In March, a new TVNZ documentary, Escaping Utopia, premiered, looking back at the community’s chequered history and its recent problems. We spoke with co-director Justin Pemberton – who explained his fresh look at historic concerns. New episodes return January 13th.

Boeing's safety controversy: Aeronautics expert dissects the airline's problems

While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024. It’s safe to say that in recent years, Boeing has gone through a patch of turbulence. In 2024 alone, we saw a door plug blow off mid-flight on an Alaska Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 9 in January – while closer to home, a LATAM Airlines flight from Sydney to Auckland plunged mid-air, injuring at least 50 passengers. In October 2018, Lion Air Flight 610 crashed into the Java Sea in Indonesia with 189 people on board. It was a Boeing 737 MAX. Barely five months later, an Ethiopian Airlines Boeing Max aircraft crashed, killing 157 people. One of those people was Graziella de Luis y Ponce, a United Nations interpreter. Her brother is Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics lecturer, Javier de Luis. He served on the US Federal Aviation Administration’s panel that reviewed Boeing’s safety practice last year. We spoke to Javier in March about what’s gone wrong, and what should change, at Boeing. New episodes return January 13th. Host: Chelsea Daniels Audio Engineers: Paddy Fox, Richard Martin Executive Producer: Ethan Sills See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
