Several former Gloriavale workers are planning to sue the Crown for negligence. Members of the group have accused public servants of knowing about the slave labour within the community - and refusing to do anything about it. Lawyer Brian Henry says these public servants knew about the witnesses who were interviewed and the allegations. "You just don't go to the potential criminal and say - did you steal that? And if he says no, he'll walk away. You actually go evaluate the evidence and look around

One expert says Paul Goldsmith's proposed new media bill could jump-start conversations about the future of news content in New Zealand. The Broadcasting Minister plans to implement an amended version of Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill, forcing tech giants to pay for news content.

A historic Supreme Court ruling has expanded the scope of US presidential power. The United States' top court has ruled six to three that former presidents can be granted immunity from prosecution over acts done in office. This means Donald Trump's alleged role in the Capitol riots in January 2021 likely won't make it to trial before the election. But Cornell University law professor Randy Zelin says the decision isn't as earth-shattering as it's being made out to be. "The Supreme Court is saying -

Now, onto the outgoing boss of Kāinga Ora and his $365,000 pay-out to leave - no surprise here, but the tone that’s been adopted on that is that it’s massive. Mega. Eye-watering. No it’s not, that's tiny for a CEO. That's only half his annual salary, that's not a lot. When Tony Gibson quit the Ports of Auckland, he was on $820,000 a year, which is not that much more than the boss of Kāinga Ora - he got a pay-out of about $1 million. When Kevin Kenrick left TVNZ, he was on a salary of $560,000

A coastal west Auckland community wants rules for driving on beaches tightened, after recent events. Auckland Council says the bylaws aren't fit for purpose. People who want to drive at Muriwai beach require a permit - but data indicated less than a quarter of drivers had obtained one. Muriwai Community Association co-chair, Clare Bradley, is unsure if changing the bylaws would fix the wider issue.

AA has confirmed people have had to wait months to sit their driver's license test. The Government is trying to cut the long wait time for tests, by allowing only one free resit. The last Government removed fees for resitting theory and practical tests, significantly increasing bookings. AA Chief Policy Officer Simon Douglas says they'll ease in the new rules over time. He says once the three month transition period ends, they'll monitor whether the changes have the impact they want. LISTEN ABOVE

The Media Minister says there is a risk digital platforms will retaliate if they're forced to pay to use New Zealand news content. Paul Goldsmith has confirmed the Government is pursuing an amended version of Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill. It aims to ensure internet giants like Facebook and Google pay local media companies for using their work. Goldsmith says some platforms have been clear they're not keen on the bill.

The Government's moves to force tech giants to support New Zealand-produced news have been met with scepticism. Fair Digital Bargaining Bill has been amended - in a bid to ensure Google and Meta pay to use news content on their platforms. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says it's unlikely Meta will respond well, considering the action they've taken against Australia and Canada.

Wairoa's Mayor is demanding an apology from the Hawke's Bay Regional Council after last week's flooding. The bill is expected to top $40 million, with more than 100 properties significantly damaged. The district is still recovering from Cyclone Gabrielle last year, and ratepayers are already facing a 20 percent rates rise. Mayor Craig Little says the council hasn't been able to pinpoint what went wrong. "They treat us like we're a small population, yet we're 30 percent of the land area of Hawke's
