  • Te Pāti Māori aims to unite, not divide, says co-leader
    Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is known for unapologetically fighting for the rights of Māori. The co-leader of Te Pati Māori never shies away from speaking her mind -- especially when it comes to social and climate justice. Since becoming co-leader in 2020, and MP for Te Tai Hauauru at the last election, she’s been suspended from Parliament and criticised the coalition’s “intent to dismantle indigenous rights”. At the last election, the party won six electorate seats – its best result yet. So, Today on The Front Page, Debbie Ngarewa-Packer is with us to take us through how the party’s gearing up for Election 2026 and how they’ll appeal to the masses – or, if they even want to?

  • 20 years after Hurricane Katrina: How NZ can learn from disaster response
    20 years on, and the devastation left behind by Hurricane Katrina is still being felt. The category three hurricane made landfall on August 29, 2005 devastating parts of Louisiana, Mississippi, and Alabama – with New Orleans suffering catastrophic flooding due to levee failures. About 80% of the city was inundated with water, and while a mandatory evacuation order was made just one day before landfall, many people – up to 150,000 – did not or simply could not leave. The official death toll is believed to be nearly 1,400. University of Albany professor of political science, Eric Stern, is with us to examine some of the painful lessons learned from Katrina. Then, later we speak to Dr Lauren Vinnell, Massey University Senior Lecturer of Emergency Management, about how New Zealand’s systems have evolved over the years.

  • What is North Korea's Kim Jong Un up to? A possible Trump meeting and a bizarre video
    US President Donald Trump has reaffirmed his ‘close relationship’ with North Korea’s Kim Jong Un. In a meeting with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung, he said he hopes to meet with Kim later this year, saying “I look forward to seeing him... we got along great.” Meanwhile, in an unusual move, Kim has recently released a highly emotive video of a ceremony for fallen soldiers in Pyongyang who died fighting for Russia. So, what is Kim’s game plan here? And should New Zealand proceed if talks turn sour? Today on The Front Page, International Relations professor Robert Patman is with us to unpack the latest.

  • 'Like dwarf-tossing': Concussion experts call for Run It Straight ban
    A group of concussion researchers have likened Run It Straight events to “dwarf tossing”, where organisers turn “real human risk and harm into a spectacle”. There are growing calls to ban these events – where two people tun head-to-head at each other before making body-jarring contact. These ‘sporting spectacles’ have gained popularity in recent times – with competitors promised thousands of dollars for winning. The social media driven craze made international headlines earlier this year when 19-year-old Ryan Satterthwaite died after suffering head injuries in an impromptu contest with friends. Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald reporter Neil Reid is with us to take us through the latest on the world’s newest full-contact competition.

  • Inside NZ's Police college: A leadership shakeup, target backdown, and new cops 'barely' equipped
    There’s been a leadership shakeup at the Royal NZ Police college, after a recruit debacle. It’s while a newly released survey of training officers has found two thirds were concerned about probationary cops’ understanding of police responsibilities when holding suspects in custody. It also found 55% feel new cops were ‘barely or not at all’ well equipped with knowledge of arrest and charge procedures. All of this while the government is slowly backing away from its hardline promise of 500 new cops on the beat by November. NZ Herald senior investigative reporter, Michael Morrah has been looking into the police recruitment process, and joins us now on The Front Page.
