New Zealand is still looking to secure their first medal in this year’s Olympic Games.

There’s concerns a crackdown on gangs could go too far. Proposed Firearm Prohibition Order laws would expand bans on holding a firearms licence to people committing lower-level offences, and allow warrantless police searches of suspects. The Justice Select Committee is asking for it to be scaled back, concerned it gives police too much power. Labour's Justice Spokesperson Ginny Andersen told Ryan Bridge the proposal is still too broad. She says it's designed to look tough, but it's not clear

I love watching the Olympics. I'm still watching, I'm still excited, but there are just a few little niggly things that are putting a slight dampener on it for me. The river Seine is dirty again. That's the second day with no practice. You've got to do a triathlon, you want to practice swimming in the river that you're going to compete in, but you can't because it's dirty. It's filled with E Coli and it rained in the weekend, still affecting the water quality. So, that's the second day in a row

2024/07/28

Is it just me or does it feel like democracy is somewhat under threat or at risk? Just reading the international news headlines day in day out, it feels precarious. Trump, over the weekend if you missed it, is suggesting that he will fix the next election. And I know he's probably joking, but you never really tell with Donald Trump. "You won't have to do it anymore, four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine. You won't have to vote anymore. My beautiful Christians, I love you

It’s being suggested that New Zealand's freshwater quality targets are unworkable. A Beef + Lamb-commissioned independent review shows more than a third of our rivers won't meet national sediments standards. That's even if agriculture is removed and catchments are returned to their natural state. Chair Kate Acland told Ryan Bridge they're asking for a pause to work on something more practical. She says it's not trying to delay regulation —and acknowledges farming's impact on freshwater quality—

Shock horror and online hate this week for that American who came here, the reality TV show contestant, who came here and murdered one of our native birds and then ate it. It was a Weka that he killed and ate. I have a confession for you: I too have killed and eaten a Weka. Yes. But it was buff wicker on the Chatham Islands, and you're allowed to. It's the only place you can do it in New Zealand. And it's delicious, I have to confess. It tasted like a cross between chicken and pork quite
