National have announced a post-election policy looking at consent laws.

It aims to better define consent as the presence of a 'yes', rather than the lack of a 'no'.

Labour responded accusing National of walking away from a bipartisan agreement to use this as a campaign piece.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith did not clarify whether the bipartisanship claims were true, but said, "(Labour) had 6 years in government, didn't get around to it, didn't prioritise this."

Yesterday's Strategic Partnership with India means we've elevated our relationship to more than just a bilateral affair.

We've set out a goal to double two-way trade by 2030, expressed interest in other sectors like tourism, farming, and sport, and agreed to increase our maritime cooperation with India's Defence Force.

Canterbury University Professor Anne Marie-Bradydiscusses the caveats and potential concerns of this agreement.
