A Wellington City councillor isn't a fan of her Council's competition - hoping to get inspiration on cycleways. It's offered an $8500 prize pool for ideas on improvements. Councillor Diane Calvert told Andrew Dickens it makes no sense. “Well I think it is one of the many bonkers ideas that Wellington City Council has, and never really makes a difference to the city.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Judith Collins says amending hate speech laws in light of the Christchurch mosque attacks would breach the right to free speech. The Government's officially ended the coordinated response to the 2019 tragedy that killed 51 people. 36 recommendations from a report into the attack have been adopted - but eight won't be, including hate speech amendments. The Lead Coordination Minister told Andrew Dickens inciting violence is already restricted. She says someone who states they don't like someone

An Auckland restaurant is pleading customers to not order from them through Uber Eats. Henderson's Fried Chicken Headquarters says every order through the service loses it money on fees. It was once left with just $84 dollars from $800 in sales. Co-owner Juri Loninia told Andrew Dickens it has no choice but to take the hit. “Unfortunately, as a small business, we can’t just switch off Uber and call it a day, because it helps us with exposure.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for

A new report by Independent Children's Monitor says the child protection system has not shifted enough since the death of Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz - despite a 2022 review recommending sweeping changes.

Briscoe Group Limited has posted a near record net profit after tax of $84.2 million for the year ending January 28, 2024. The group, which runs both Briscoes and Rebel Sport, says profits have nearly reached the $88.4 million record set last year - despite a tough economic climate impacting the retail sector.

Government agencies are being urged to get on with changes to child protections. A review in 2022 after Tauranga five-year-old Malachi Subecz was murdered recommended sweeping changes. The Independent Children's Monitor says they haven't happened, and children are no safer today than when Malachi died. Chief Executive Arrun Jones says these findings are disappointing.

Four New Zealand rowing crews have the chance to supercharge the country's slow start in day six action at the Paris Olympics. Both double sculls duos and both coxless four combinations contest their respective finals from 9pm tonight. Former Olympic rower Eric Murray says Brooke Francis and Lucy Spoors are likely to bring home a gold medal for women's rowing.

The Police Union says judges let too many high-level drug offenders off easy. A meth bust in Hawke's Bay and Gisborne in 2021 ended with the arrests of 15 - but only five went to jail. Police Association president Chris Cahill says the problem is sentence discounts. He says one person who imported 4 kilos of meth got five different discounts.
