Minister of Justice Paul Goldsmith says people who are convicted of sexual crimes getting name suppression is “a massive issue”. “Particularly for the victims, they can’t talk about what’s happened to them and they can’t warn others," Goldsmith told Mike Hosking. “We’ve decided you only get permanent name suppression if you’re a convicted sex offender if the victim agrees. And if the victim doesn’t agree? Well, tough luck, you’re not going to get it and you should own up to your crimes. “That’s the

I think at times the Commerce Commission has an easy job in the sense it starts out life, in appearance anyway, as being on “our side. "Our” side being the people's side. We need a hero, a protector to keep the big bad boys away from our lives and wallets. Lately though, they look like they might have a large legal budget that someone has told them to spend or else they will lose it. So out come the lawyers to take on Starlink over their claims about being able to text anywhere in the country. This

Seasons are changing when it comes to secondary school sports. In just over a year’s time, basketball is set to become the most popular sport, with participation jumping 61% since 2000. However, there’s now concerns that New Zealand is 500 courts short to support the growing popularity. School Sport NZ CEO Mike Summerell told Mike Hosking that while schools have great facilities they can only cater for the smaller games, and national competitions are maxing the current facilities out. He says they

There's hopes New Zealand's efforts to stop smoking don't go up in smoke. The latest New Zealand Health Survey shows daily smoking rates have remained steady over the past year. They were just under 7%, which is down from 13% five years ago. Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking we might be tripping at the finish line. She says we're seeing more steady drops which could have continued if New Zealand had passed legislation the previous government introduced

The good news about the arrival of the protest is that after today, it's over. This has been one of the more misrepresented activities in recent years. It's hard to know what it is actually about, or whether those taking part even know what it's about. Is it about the Treaty Principles Bill? Is it about a general attitude towards the Government and their Māori policies? Is it a PR stunt for the Māori Party? And perhaps most importantly of all - what does it achieve? The answer, of course, is

Rhys Darby is returning to his roots. In the last decade, Kiwis have gotten more used to seeing the comedian on the big screen than on the stage, but that’s about to change. Darby has announced his first comedy tour in more than a decade, returning to Kiwi stages next year with ‘The Legend Returns’.

In the past week we have been dealing with three houses currently for sale. They are what you would loosely call "high end" houses. As you wander around with the agent, the usual exchanges take place about size and quality and renovations and street and area, talk about the market, what's the vibe etc. But the question we always ask, is why are they selling? You ask that for a clue. Are they downsizing, what's changed, have they been there their whole lives or have they transferred? The three
