Labour's anticipating many Kiwi police officers will take up New South Wales' incentivised offer.

The state is 1500 officers short and has announced it'll fast-track New Zealand officers as recruits.

Training requirements will be shortened and Kiwis with at least seven years' experience can keep their current rank, up to senior constable. 

Labour's Spokesperson on Police, Ginny Andersen told Roman Travers that this offers more than other poaching attempts from Australian states.

She says they know that a lot will go, and Police Association President Chris Cahill's said 20 have gone in the last week.

The Government is exploring a potential game-changer for securing future energy supply. 

Up to $60 million from the Regional Infrastructure Fund has been ring-fenced for exploring supercritical geothermal technology. 

The first $5 million will be used for work in the Taupo Volcanic Zone, to help understand if it's a possibility. 

Geothermal wells are drilled to a maximum depth of 3.5 kilometres, but scientists believe by drilling deeper, more energy will be available. 

GNS Science lead Dr Isabelle Chambeforte told Ryan Bridge that temperatures reach around 330 degrees maximum in the normal geothermal systems, but by drilling a few kilometres deeper, they’ll be able to access temperatures of around 450 degrees.  

She says those temperatures offer a lot more energy per well.

Paris authorities are taking no chances with this morning's French football international against Israel at Stade de France. 

The game comes just days after violence between pro-Israel and pro-Palestine football fans in Amsterdam. 

About 4,000 police and 1,600 private security guards will be on patrol, with an elite anti-terror unit providing security detail for the Israeli squad. 

But correspondent Vincent McAviney told Ryan Bridge the stadium itself will be mostly empty, with the Israeli Government advising its citizens not to attend. 

He says after that guidance, no more than a hundred visiting Israeli fans are expected to turn up, but some local Israelis may attend.

Former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson told Ryan Bridge that David Seymour has to realise this was never going to a civil debate due to the emotions involved. 

“The debate takes place against the backdrop of what I perceive to be hostile acts towards tangata whenua over the last year in terms of names and treaty principles… it’s a culmination of a number of things.” 

He said he might not have gone into government with the bill on the table if he was still in office. 

Finlayson said he was “appalled” by the behaviour in Parliament from all sides. 

“You don’t act that way in Parliament”. 

The former National MP also believes the party has moved away from its “conservative values”. 

Finlayson said he has had Māori approach him in public confused about who to vote for now as National no longer represents their values.
