What Elon Musk's censorship fight with Australia means for the internet and free speech
The Australian government has found themselves in a battle with billionaire Elon Musk and his legions of supporters.
Australia’s eSafety commissioner last week ordered Musk’s social media platform X – formerly known as Twitter – to remove images of the alleged stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, which was captured on a live stream earlier this month.
X only blocked the images to Australian users, prompting a further legal challenge that was upheld temporarily by an Australian federal court.
Parallels with this case can be drawn with New Zealand’s own efforts to remove videos of the Christchurch terror attack from social media.
Former Chief Censor David Shanks made that decision to permanently censor that video. He joins us now on The Front Page to reflect on that move, and this fight happening across the ditch.

Why many of our veterans aren't getting the support they need
Pressure continues to pile up on the systems intended to support our military veterans.
The government agency charged with meeting veterans’ needs is cutting services and has a year-long waiting list.
The VIP scheme, until now, had been seen as a way of acknowledging service and offering support to those otherwise excluded from our veterans’ welfare system.
So, as we come together to remember the fallen – is it about time we start thinking more about those who survived?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher joins to discuss Veterans’ Affairs – and how to better support those who served.

NZ Rugby's governance battle: Inside the fight to shape the future of the game

How can we fix NZ's productivity crisis - and what does it really mean for workers
Rarely a week goes by without some sort of headline proclaiming the woes of New Zealand’s ‘low productivity’.
It’s a phrase that has been discussed by economists and politicians for years, and was a particular bug-bear of Sir John Key.
The Herald’s very own Liam Dann is the latest columnist to highlight it as a potential cause for some of our economic problems.
But what exactly does low productivity mean, how does it impact your back pocket, and why do we struggle to do anything about it?
Today on The Front Page, Liam Dann joins us to explain the issue, and what we might be able to do about it.

Did Christopher Luxon deliver on his trip to Southeast Asia?
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has spent the last week in South East Asia.
His first overseas trip beyond the Tasman Sea saw Luxon visit Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, joined by several MPs and a delegation of business leaders for a trip largely focused on “reinvigorating” New Zealand’s relationships across Southeast Asia.
So did he make much of a splash there, and does he have any wins to bring back home?
NZME Managing Business Editor and managing director of NZ Inc Ltd Fran O’Sullivan has been part of the business delegation, and joins The Front Page from the Philippines for her thoughts on how it’s all gone.

Simon drought
Nice summary.
Snappy yet in-depth look into topical NZ stories
Love the 15-18 minutes of a story, gives well rounded views from a variety of experts, some in-house but others that I wouldn’t usually think Herald would showcase. Gives me enough information to have more of an informed discussion on what’s happening in NZ.
Really Dame Claudia?
So this land was a Maori country she says……
Interesting to know how she defines a country, it is indisputable that the land was inhabited by tribes who, prior to the “ land wars” had no concept of nationhood, no capital city, no legislature, etc etc, pretty much the same as most of Europe before the common era.
The current mania for distortion of this land’s history will ultimately be laughed at by generations to come, and Claudia and her kind will have their reputations shredded. Meanwhile us in the real world get on with life, each other and hope this divisive rabble purporting to represent Maori, and these do gooder academics will be moved on asap.
