The retail sector is hoping to sit down with the new Police Minister soon.

Ginny Andersen is replacing Stuart Nash in the role, having only been sworn in as a Cabinet minister earlier this year.

She is a low-ranking member of Cabinet, but has 10 years of experience working with Police.

Retail NZ Chief Executive Greg Harford told Kate Hawkesby they want Police to have more resources and tools to deal with retail crime.

He says fundamentally we need a big social change campaign across the whole of Government, including Police, to get the message out that it's not okay to steal.

There are fears health worker strikes could become common place as conditions worsen.

Two and a half thousand resident doctors will strike next month over pay and conditions.

Former Health New Zealand chairman Rob Campbell told Mike Hosking that it could be the first of many more health worker strikes.

He said workers are feeling increasingly disaffected and unheard.

Campbell said that the agency needs to do better to prevent the strikes, it’s not good management for the issue to be hashed out in public.

An American comedian is defending his decision to kick a breast-feeding mother out of his Melbourne comedy show.

Flight of the Concords star Arj Barker asked breastfeeding mother Trish Faranda to leave his Melbourne show on Saturday, claiming her baby was disrupting his performance.

Faranda says it was humiliating to be publicly called out.

Australia correspondent Donna Demaio told Mike Hosking that Barker "feels bad for any upset involved", but says he was thinking of the hundreds of other ticketholders hoping to hear his show.

He says it was a 15-plus show, and the 700 others in attendance needed to be able to enjoy the event.
