Kiwi kids will return to school tomorrow - but the cellphones won't be part of the experience. The Government's ban on phones in schools kicks in from term two, meaning students won't be able to use them during the day, including lunch time and breaks. NZ Secondary Principals' Council chair Kate Gainsford says schools across the country already have measures in place - but these changes will make it easier to stop distractions. "Parents have really appreciated the support, because they're often

Prime Minister Chris Luxon has pulled no punches in his first Cabinet reshuffle during his tenure. Media Minister Melissa Lee and Disabilities Minister Penny Simmonds have both been dropped from their portfolios, after a string of controversies surrounding them. ZB political editor Jason Walls says Luxon has acted on the number one rule in politics to remove all distractions. But he says he has a bit more sympathy for Lee, where the Government was hamstrung on what they could do amid the media's

It was amazing to see so many people out commemorating ANZAC Day at Dawn Services and parades around the country this week. We may move chronologically further away from the horrors of World War I, but it’s heart-warming to see so many people continue to honour the sacrifices made by our servicemen and women at any point in history, and currently. Our Deputy Prime Minister and Foreign Affairs Minister was in Turkey and delivered a moving tribute at the dawn ceremony in Gallipoli, which was quickly

2024/04/21

Last weekend in the aftermath of the Bondi Mall stabbings, we saw a prime example of how badly wrong the internet can go. For 14 hours, Sydney student Ben Cohen was widely named and wrongly identified as the killer - and it spread like wildfire internationally. By Sunday morning, his name had made its way into the mainstream media - with Australia's 7News misidentifying Ben as the attacker. Barrister Chris Patterson joined Francesca to discuss how this happened. LISTEN ABOVESee

In 1944, Phyllis 'Pippa' Latour parachuted into Nazi occupied Normandy as an undercover agent. Had she been discovered, she would have been shot instantly - however Pippa made it out. In fact, she was one of the last female special operations agents to get out of France Alive. After the war, Pippa ended up here in New Zealand, but never told a soul, not even her husband or children, about her mission during the war. Before she died last year, she told her fill story to Jude Dobson. LISTEN

2024/04/20

I’m not sure the government thought through the timing of this week’s release of guidelines around kids’ illness and school attendance. Half way through the school holidays, I can assure Associate Education Minister David Seymour that after another week most parents will be happily marching their children off to school, snotty nose or not. Which isn’t to say we don’t love our children. They’re the most important things in our lives, we’d do anything for them, and we love spending time with
