The Police Association says it's pleasantly surprised at the surge in new recruits. Recruitment numbers have soared in the past year, with five and a half thousand applications in the first eight months of the year. President Chris Cahill says one reason behind it is the state of the economy, and policing is seen as a place of stable employment. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan some rule changes for recruitment have also helped, such as only needing a full license by the time they reach police

An education leader says there needs to be a long-term plan for school property. The Government's expected to respond to the Ministerial Inquiry into School Property today. The inquiry was launched in February to address the issue of planned works being unrealistic and unaffordable. Principals Federation president Leanne Otene told Heather du Plessis-Allan there are issues with existing school property - like ventilation and mould.

There's scepticism over our decreasing acne rates. New research in the British Journal of Dermatology has singled out New Zealand as the only country with decreasing rates, but only by a small amount. Germany had the highest rates of reported acne, while the rate in the UK had increased to almost 15% from 1990. Dermatologist Louise Reiche told Heather du Plessis-Allan the research is based on people who went to doctors for it. She wonders if it's down to not having as much acne, or maybe people

The Health New Zealand leader says their cost growth has plateaued. Its report for the June quarter shows the preliminary result for the financial year is a $934 million deficit. Earlier, in quarter three, a $299 million surplus was forecast. Chief Executive Margie Apa told Heather du Plessis-Allan they've stopped their cost growth and have stabilised in the past quarter.

Labour’s going to have to sort itself out over this Middle East situation. This is about Damien O'Connor's tweet. I was really surprised yesterday when I was listening to Carmel Sepuloni being interviewed on this, as the deputy leader of the Labour Party. She was asked if he should apologise for his tweet and instead of saying yes, which is the only answer to give, she made excuses for him, saying he feels strongly about the situation as if that makes it OK. Let me just remind you what he tweeted -

Christchurch's Business Association is calling out the food truck plans of the city's Arts Centre. The centre's applied for licences for 33 trucks to operate 12 hours a day, seven days a week. But the Christchurch Business Association believes this is unfair, with chair Annabel Turley saying city businesses are subsidising the Arts Centre. She told Heather du Plessis-Allan that the centre is getting $5.5 million over the next decade, and the rate differential for commercial compared to residential

An investigator says it was obvious Gail Maney didn't murder Auckland man Deane Fuller-Sandys in 1989. Maney and Steven Stone's murder convictions have been quashed, and a re-trial's been ordered for Stone. Colin Maney and Mark Henriksen have also had their accessory to murder convictions quashed. The Crown's accepting the police failed to disclose important information, which caused a miscarriage of justice.

There’s fiery opposition to the Government's charter schools move by the teacher's union. Associate Education Minister David Seymour's championing a move to convert 35 state schools to charter schools, allowing $153 million for the initiative.

I’m loathe to keep talking about this, but I think Chris Luxon is being treated really unfairly on the sale of his apartment. And because he’s being treated so unfairly, it’s hard to avoid saying something. The latest instalment on this is a series of articles pointing out that Chris Luxon would’ve paid up to $70 thousand in tax on the sale of his apartment if it wasn’t for his government changing the bright-line test rules. He bought the apartment in 2020 when the bright-line test was five years

Key issues expected to be on the agenda include the economy, cost of living, and border security. Republican strategist Matt Terrill told Heather du Plessis-Allan if Vance focuses on those, he'll have a much better night than Walz. He says many voters will be questioning
