The Government has put improving education as one of its top priorities.
Yesterday, Education Minister Erica Stanford announced plans to refocus education around ‘structured literacy’, with that teaching style winning the so-called ‘reading wars’ against ‘balanced literacy’.
It marks the end of a big week for the Minister, with the nationwide cellphone ban at schools coming into effect on Monday, the same day she announced the new top priorities for education in New Zealand.
Erica Stanford joins us on The Front Page to discuss her plans to fix education.

In the weeks since Warner Bros Discovery and TVNZ announced cutbacks in their newsrooms, much of the focus has been on what this means for journalism in this country.
The moves come amid wider belt-tightening across the television sector, as falling terrestrial TV ratings means companies are now competing against global giants more than ever to hold our attention.
And that means it's not only newsrooms that could soon be fighting for survival.
This episode, Chelsea talks with Kelly Martin, CEO of South Pacific Pictures, about the impacts on the production sector, and with Lauren Whitney, chief executive of the Comedy Trust, about why this could limit opportunities for the comedy sector.

She joins us today on The Front Page to discuss her research and what New Zealand can learn from our closest neighbours.

It’s time to put away your shorts and sunhats and start getting out your winter coats.
Temperatures are dropping across the country as winter makes its mark on Aotearoa.
And the big news here is that El Nino is starting to fade, and La Nina is set to take its place. But does that actually mean for weather in the coming months, and just how cold and wet will it be?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald reporter Jamie Morton joins us to run us through the weather maps for the months ahead.

The concept of 15-minute cities is the idea that all daily necessities – like work, shopping, education, healthcare, and leisure – can all be reached with a 5-minute walk, bike ride, or by public transit.
While the idea has been embraced by many countries, some conspiracy theorists have described the notion as an instrument of government repression.
Today on The Front Page, University of Auckland school of architecture and planning lecturer Bill McKay joins to explain 15-minute cities and discuss whether we should be worried.

The Australian government has found themselves in a battle with billionaire Elon Musk and his legions of supporters.
Australia’s eSafety commissioner last week ordered Musk’s social media platform X – formerly known as Twitter – to remove images of the alleged stabbing of Bishop Mar Mari Emmanuel, which was captured on a live stream earlier this month.
X only blocked the images to Australian users, prompting a further legal challenge that was upheld temporarily by an Australian federal court.
Parallels with this case can be drawn with New Zealand’s own efforts to remove videos of the Christchurch terror attack from social media.
Former Chief Censor David Shanks made that decision to permanently censor that video. He joins us now on The Front Page to reflect on that move, and this fight happening across the ditch.

Pressure continues to pile up on the systems intended to support our military veterans.
The government agency charged with meeting veterans’ needs is cutting services and has a year-long waiting list.
The VIP scheme, until now, had been seen as a way of acknowledging service and offering support to those otherwise excluded from our veterans’ welfare system.
So, as we come together to remember the fallen – is it about time we start thinking more about those who survived?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior writer David Fisher joins to discuss Veterans’ Affairs – and how to better support those who served.

For eight months, New Zealand Rugby’s biggest test has been happening behind the scenes.
NZR has been at loggerheads with the provincial unions about how to reform governance for the country’s most popular sport.
The battle could be nearing an end, with a meeting to take place in the coming weeks that could resolve it, but will the two sides reach an agreement, and will it be enough to help rugby bounce back from its recent woes?
Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald sports writer Gregor Paul joins to explain the games going on in rugby’s boardrooms.

Rarely a week goes by without some sort of headline proclaiming the woes of New Zealand’s ‘low productivity’.
It’s a phrase that has been discussed by economists and politicians for years, and was a particular bug-bear of Sir John Key.
The Herald’s very own Liam Dann is the latest columnist to highlight it as a potential cause for some of our economic problems.
But what exactly does low productivity mean, how does it impact your back pocket, and why do we struggle to do anything about it?
Today on The Front Page, Liam Dann joins us to explain the issue, and what we might be able to do about it.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon has spent the last week in South East Asia.
His first overseas trip beyond the Tasman Sea saw Luxon visit Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines, joined by several MPs and a delegation of business leaders for a trip largely focused on “reinvigorating” New Zealand’s relationships across Southeast Asia.
So did he make much of a splash there, and does he have any wins to bring back home?
NZME Managing Business Editor and managing director of NZ Inc Ltd Fran O’Sullivan has been part of the business delegation, and joins The Front Page from the Philippines for her thoughts on how it’s all gone.

Our Minister for Space has been working overseas promoting New Zealand’s space industry over in the US.
Judith Collins has returned from the US where she spoke at the Space Symposium -- putting us on the global stage – and she met with senior US government space officials.
According to Deloitte, in 2018 and 2019 New Zealand's space industry contributed $1.7 billion to the economy – but, our Space Minister thinks by now it should be three or more times larger than that.
Today on The Front Page, Judith Collins joins us to discuss what opportunities New Zealand has beyond our horizons.

"Unproductive and unwilling to change" - a scathing report from outgoing Chief Ombudsman Peter Boshier has slammed our country’s prison system.
He told the government’s Justice Committee he’ll “leave the job with disappointment” that he hasn’t made “any impact in having the Department of Corrections as an organisation we can be proud of.”
A report from the Office of the Inspectorate released just yesterday shows that prisoners in three units at Auckland Prison were not able to leave their cells every day, for many months.
Today on The Front Page, Deputy Commissioner of Prisons, Neil Beales joins us to respond to the Ombudsman’s comments.

There are growing fears the Middle East could be on the brink of war.
Over the weekend, Iran launched hundreds of missiles towards Israel, in retaliation for what is believed to have been an Israeli strike on an Iranian diplomatic complex in Syria last week.
It comes after six months of fighting in Gaza, which has drawn the ire of Muslim-majority countries in the region.
With no end in sight for the Gaza conflict, there are now fears that Israel may seek revenge against Iran, sparking a region-wide war that will further divide the world.
Later in this episode, we’ll hear from aid workers working across Gaza for the latest on the humanitarian crisis there, but first on The Front Page, University of Otago Professor of politics and international studies, Robert Patman, joins us to dissect the latest on Israel, Iran and Palestine.

Today, US time, marks the beginning of Donald Trump’s slew of criminal trials.
In what’s been coined the ‘hush money’ case, the former President is being accused of falsifying his company’s business records in connection to a payment to an adult film star in the run-up to the 2016 election.
After a judge just last week dismissed Trump’s motion to toss out the indictment altogether, or delay the trial further, the 45th President will now must fight a criminal trial and an election campaign at the same time.
Today on The Front Page, Politico magazine senior writer and former federal prosecutor Ankush Khardori joins us from New York to discuss the trial that could define the US election.

School holidays kick off tomorrow, and hundreds of families are set to take to the roads and skies to head off on vacation.
For those of us travelling internationally though, the main hope is that the ongoing renovations at Auckland Airport won’t lead to the usual ‘travel chaos’ many of us have come to expect.
So how are those developments going, and is the travel industry as a whole on the road to recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic?

Government ministries are on a mission to cut spending by 6.5 to 7.5 per cent before the coalition Government’s first Budget next month.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis has asked all departments to look for savings to “restore discipline” to taxpayer spending.
For some agencies, cutting costs means cutting jobs – and that number is already at about a thousand roles, give or take.
Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB reporter Azaria Howell discusses the challenges facing our public sector as departments race to cut spending.

King Charles has not been "coronated", he has been crowned. Coronation is the noun, crowned is the verb. Coronated is not a correct word.
