    Stephen Scheeler: Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand on whether parental controls are the way forward for social media

    03/2/2026 | 5 mins.
    Following the launch of Australia's ban on social media for under-16s, there's been debate over whether New Zealand should follow this example.
    Meta's Global Head of Safety, Antigone Davis, has labelled the full ban a 'fool's errand' and claims parental controls are the way to go.
    Former Facebook CEO for Australia and New Zealand Stephen Scheeler says parental controls are a safety feature that should be considered - but it won't solve the wider problem.
    "I don't think it's a total solution, but I think it is another tool in the toolkit."

    The Huddle: What's really going on between Henare and Hipkins?

    03/2/2026 | 7 mins.
    Tonight on The Huddle, lawyer and political commentator Brigitte Morton and CTU economist Craig Rennie joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!
    Labour MP Peeni Henare has confirmed he won't be seeking re-election - and that he wants to take a step back from politics and focus on his family, wellbeing and future, and will depart from Parliament in the coming weeks. What's really going on here?
    Transport Minister Chris Bishop confirmed there will be no more full drivers' license test from next year. After passing the restricted license test, drivers under the age of 25 will have to wait out a mandatory 12-month period as a restricted driver before they can apply for a full licence. Do we think this is a good idea?
    Does New Zealand need to become Australia's 7th state? Do we need the extra protection?
