The All Blacks are scheduled to play against Italy on Saturday in Wellington for a Round 2 Nations Championship test match.

Dave Rennie has announced a raft of changes for the run on team including two new rookies. 

Newstalk ZB's lead rugby commentator Elliott Smith told Andrew Dickens, "he's probably retained the skeleton, I guess you'd say, of the team that won this week against France in Christchurch, but also brought in some of those players you mentioned there, just to try and change things up, give them game time and see what they can do in a black jersey."

Psychology PHD student and advisor to B416 Claire Reid says she is in support of the ban as 'a first step'. 

"I'm not a politician, I'm a scientist, but what I'm really clear about is that the harms to the children are real," she told Andrew Dickens.

The New Zealand Government is formally exploring the idea of joining the Ocean of Peace Alliance signed by Fiji and Australia on July 6

The treaty commits each country to come to the other's aid in the event of an armed attack in the Pacific.

Retired Major General and Senior Fellow of the New Zealand Initiative, John G. Howard, told Andrew Dickens "with the rising complexity that we see in the geopolitical domain, it would make sense for all nations to think, quite clearly about what they want to do for their nation's security, and that's the opportunity here."

One of Newstalk ZB's most familiar voices has been recognised in the King's Birthday Honours, two decades after first being sounded out.

Barry Soper's been named an Officer of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to journalism, recognising 43 years in the parliamentary press gallery.

He says he considered the honour 20 years ago while serving as political editor, on the advice of senior colleagues.

"And asked their opinion on whether it would be seen, or I could be seen as politically biased - and I think the conclusion was: that was a possibility. So I didn't want to compromise my independence."

Caution's being urged as automated decision-making moves a step closer to use in welfare services.

A bill aimed at improving efficiencies passed its third reading under urgency in Parliament on Friday. 

Social Development Minister Louise Upston says it will modernise the system and reduce unnecessary manual processing, but won't use generative AI.

Gorilla Technology's Paul Spain says it will do exactly what it's asked.

"This really comes down to the human oversight, how well this is put together, and that it's monitored appropriately."
