Changes have been revealed to the Treaty Principles Bill.

The IRD is giving your data to Facebook – taxpayers' data to Facebook, that was the headline yesterday. We give them our data in trust and confidence. Well, we don't actually, we give them our data because the law says we must file our tax returns and tell them who we are and how much we're earning. But perhaps you assume that the law says that they must keep it to themselves. Not so. I think this is a scandal. To be honest when I read the headline, I thought IRD must have been hit by one of

Interesting op-ed from The Conversation by Chris Gledhill, Professor of Law at Auckland University of Technology. It's about the Government's new gang legislation and argues that the changes that are being made in some last-minute ones could impinge on the Bill of Rights, and it makes some good points. It says people join gangs for various reasons for some it's a matter of family connections, for others gang membership may arise from being marginalised from society. The Royal Commission on Abuse

The Mayor of the Ruapehu District wants the Government to step in to save two businesses facing closure.

A criminal defence lawyer says it's very rare to see the public caught in the crossfire of a homicide. Since the start of August, Police have launched 11 homicide investigations around the country. One has since been deemed not a homicide and has been referred to the coroner. Lawyer John Munro told Ryan Bridge Police may be stretched. “The promising thing is that we have a very, very good Police force. They’re very well-equipped, they’re good Police, they’re competent.” LISTEN ABOVESee

There are hopes New Zealand can help lead the effort to clean up space. Space Minister Judith Collins has announced we've joined a US-led multi-national space initiative: Operation Olympic Defender.

Semi-professional rugby tours may soon be back on the table.

According to the group who are upset about the monopoly-duopoly that's happening in our grocery sector, you could save, at most per person, about $74 per year. That's if they were to have perfect competition in the sector, which obviously would be very hard to achieve. Do you know what else costs you $80 a year? A friend and I were chatting at the gym the other day and he showed me his rates bill, which he had kindly brought to the gym to encourage him to run faster. There's an $80 targeted
