    Youth crime: Are there different ways we could be dealing with problem teens?

    Youth crime: Are there different ways we could be dealing with problem teens?

    Youth crime has been a hot topic over the last two years, particularly when our youngest offenders are involved in brazen robberies and violent ram raids across the country.

    NZ Herald senior crime reporter Anna Leask has been travelling across Australia, witnessing first-hand what groups there have been doing to try and help their troubled youth.

    She joins us today on The Front Page to discuss her research and what New Zealand can learn from our closest neighbours.

    Reporting costs for the series Breaking 'Bad' were covered by the University of Canterbury’s Robert Bell Travelling Scholarship in Journalism, received by Herald senior reporter Anna Leask in 2023."

    Winter weather: What to expect in the coming months as La Nina replaces El Nino

    It’s time to put away your shorts and sunhats and start getting out your winter coats.

    Temperatures are dropping across the country as winter makes its mark on Aotearoa.

    And the big news here is that El Nino is starting to fade, and La Nina is set to take its place. But does that actually mean for weather in the coming months, and just how cold and wet will it be?

    Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald reporter Jamie Morton joins us to run us through the weather maps for the months ahead.

    What are '15 Minute Cities' and why are some frightened by the idea?

    What are '15 Minute Cities' and why are some frightened by the idea?

    The concept of 15-minute cities is the idea that all daily necessities – like work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure – can all be reached with a 5-minute walk, bike ride, or by public transit.  

    While the idea has been embraced by many countries, some conspiracy theorists have described the notion as an instrument of government repression. 

    Today on The Front Page, University of Auckland school of architecture and planning lecturer Bill McKay joins to explain 15-minute cities and discuss whether we should be worried.

    What Elon Musk's censorship fight with Australia means for the internet and free speech

    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

    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.

Nice summary.

WestmereWahine ,

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.
