Men aged over 45 made up 60 percent of the 90 preventable drownings in New Zealand in 2023. Last night I got a first-hand glimpse as to why this is the case when I went fishing with a friend. Come on guys, lets get smarter around the water...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Artificial Intelligence is getting better by the hour. Just ask Christopher Luxon and Simon Gault, recent high-profile victims of A.I created clips. But whilst an A.I generated Luxon talking about his favourite porn sites must be a bit distracting, has the government had it's attention diverted from what it really should be focusing on?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Duncan Garner - Editor In Chief ·

2024/01/23

Whilst what happened recently with the young person dying after being involved in an accident while driving on Muriwai beach was tragic, I hope it does not trigger a knee-jerk reaction. The vast majority of Kiwis drive on our beaches in a responsible manner. Here's my suggestion on how we can continue to do this..See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

My old school, Westlake Boys High, have won rugby’s World Schools Festival in Thailand. I'm so pleased for them but in New Zealand we can sometimes be reluctant to celebrate our successes publicly, be it sporting, business or otherwise. Does the 'Tall Poppy' syndrome still exist in Kiwi culture? Should we be shouting louder about our successes?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
