There’s a belief a social media ban could benefit young people. Australia's holding an age-verification trial in coming months, but it's unknown what the cut off age will be, or how it will be enforced. Christopher Luxon has also expressed interest in the idea.

He says if things like social media are banned, it may be revealed as the major cause of the country's mental

The US presidential debate looks to be a chance to get to know the candidates. Vice President Kamala Harris is facing off against Donald Trump for the first time at 1pm our time in Pennsylvania.

A wild, bizarre, and highly entertaining media scrum took pace in Wellington yesterday, culminating with an MP saying he didn't mind swimming in other people's sewage. Yes, human waste. A chaotic caucus run with Labour's Ōhāriu MP Greg O'Connor. He was asked why Wellington's dying - with cafes closing down, etcetera: "There's not enough to do along that waterfront, there's been stopping things from happening. You can walk a long way there, there's no cafe, there's nowhere to actually get a

A global manhunt is underway for a man who allegedly poured boiling hot coffee on a nine-month-old baby in Brisbane. Police say the 33-year-old has fled the country since the August 27th incident in a Stones Corner park.

There’s a drive for change in the construction industry on the back of a spike in suspected suicide rates. In 2023, 80 construction workers died from suspected suicides - a jump from previous years. MATES in Construction Research Manager Lauren Donnan says mental health across the board is improving, but high workloads, job instability, and a lack of support remain key stressors. She says 15 to 24-year-olds and Māori workers can be particularly vulnerable. Donnan says we need to understand

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 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

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
