What Andrew Coster's departure means for Government's policing plans

Police Commissioner Andrew Coster announced this week - he is ending his term early, to take up a new role as the head of the Social Investment Agency at the end of the year. Coster was the face of the previous government’s push to ‘police by consent’ and copped a huge amount of criticism from National when they were in Opposition. The race is on to replace Coster – so who will National pick, and what will that decision say about their approach to tackling law and order? Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage will share his insight into Coster’s tenure, and how the Government might change tack.

Mānawa Bay opening highlights Auckland Airport's growth plans, tensions with airlines

Last week, a brand-new outlet mall opened in Auckland... right next to the International Airport. Mānawa Bay is a new 200-million-dollar mall on the airport precinct, boasting 100 stores and eateries, including some never seen before in New Zealand. The opening weekend though was marred by large traffic delays around the airport, which caused some flights to be delayed as crews were caught up in the congestion. So why has the airport decided to build a mall right next door, and how does this factor into the rebuild of our biggest international terminal? Today on The Front Page, we are joined by New Zealand Herald deputy business editor Grant Bradley to tell us more.

Economist predicts 'net zero' migration: What does that mean for New Zealanders

New Zealand is a country of immigrants, with tens of thousands of people moving here each year. We’re also a country of travellers, and those new arrivals help make up for the population shortfall as Kiwis migrate overseas. Due to the stream of migrants in recent years, our population has been steadily growing, but new forecasts from one economist predicts net migration may slow to zero by 2025. So if the number of new arrivals is even with the number of long-term departures, what impact will that have on our economic growth? Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon, to discuss his immigration projections, alongside NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann.

Financial fraud in NZ: Inside the huge cost of white collar crime

For the last few years, our headlines have been dominated by talk of ram raids, robberies, and gang members misbehaving. Those stories have fed through to politics, with governments making a big deal about tackling gangs and cracking down on crime. But while these crimes may make for a great photo and deliver political soundbites, little is ever said about the extent of white collar crimes like fraud. NZ Herald investigative journalist Matt Nippert has been reporting on fraud and corruption for much of his career. He joins The Front Page to discuss the extent of it in New Zealand, and if our politicians should pay more attention to it.

When a six figure salary isn't enough: Why more Kiwis are struggling financially

The pressure of the cost-of-living crunch has been felt by most of us for a few years now. Many of us hope that the more we earn, the less we have to worry about bills, unexpected costs and living week to week. This week though, Wellington Mayor Tory Whanau revealed she’s had to sell her car - in order to help pay her bills. So if a mayor on a salary of just under $190,000 a year is finding it tough – can you really earn enough to avoid financial pressure? Today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Katie Wesney, head strategic coach at EnableMe, to discuss how to survive the cost of living and why those on high salaries are struggling as well.
