Employment Lawyer Gareth Abdinor Answers Listeners' Questions 06.12.22

This week on The Highlight Reel you'll hear a call to Simon Barnett & James Daniels from a drink-driver who, even after hitting a pedestrian, still drives after drinking.

Sextortion is on the rise with 200 reports to police every month, the pair talk to a parent, a digital forensic investigator and an older listener threatened with the release of a video of her.

Other questions on the table: Is running a preserve of the rich? Is it OK to take babies to a comedy gig? Did Chris Luxon do the right thing dealing with Melissa Lee?

Is using the satellite images on google maps to look at people’s properties creepy or a smart way to find a house you want to buy?

And both Si & James are finding that learning how to grandparent is an ongoing process, one that is especially challenging for clean freak Simon.

The Highlight Reel Episode 26: The challenges of grandparenting

Embattled Broadcasting Minister Melissa Lee has been stripped of the portfolio and booted from Cabinet. 

The Prime Minister has revealed the change after weeks of Lee struggling to front on the collapse of Newshub and cuts at TVNZ. 

Chris Luxon says Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith will pick up the portfolio.

He says there has been significant change in the media environment which has moved quickly, and he wants a good senior Minister responsible.

Political Editor Jason Walls told Si and James that this was unexpected news, but it makes sense.

He said that Luxon didn’t say that the Ministers were doing a bad job, they just weren’t performing optimally and so he had to move them around.

Lee continues to hold the Economic Development portfolio, which Walls said is quite an unusual one to have outside of Cabinet, especially for a party that has such a strong focus on economic development.
