Remains finally found: What happens next in the Yanfei Bao case?

It’s estimated we spend a third of our life at work – with the average worker clocking a staggering 90,000 hours in employment over a lifetime.

Covid lockdowns saw companies adapt to remote and flexible working practices, while schemes like four day weeks have gained traction globally.

Some international companies though are pulling back or restricting employees from working at home, while one CEO has gone as far as to try and stop people leaving the building during work hours.

So what is the best practice, and how do we adapt our workplaces for a changing world? 

Today on The Front Page, we are joined by AUT associate professor and organisational psychologist Dr. Rachel Morrison to discuss the changing workforce.

The latest trends coming to your workplace - and why some bosses are pushing back

Originally due to run for six weeks, the trial of Philip Polkinghorne is now in its seventh week.  

The former Auckland eye surgeon is accused of murdering his wife, Pauline Hanna, who was found dead on 5 April, 2021. 

He maintains she took her own life. 

More witnesses from the defence took the stand to discuss their thoughts on how Hanna died, and the risk factors that could have pushed her to take her own life.

New emails from Hanna were read to the court, and the question on if she used her phone the night before she died saw one Crown witness returned to the stand. 

You can listen to episodes of Accused: The Polkinghorne Trial through The Front Page podcast feed, or find it on iHeartRadio or wherever you get your podcasts.

This series is presented and produced by, Chelsea Daniels, with producer Ethan Sills and sound engineer Dan Goodwin. Additional production support by Helen King. Additional reporting by Craig Kapitan and George Block.

Days 27 - 29: Email highlights Hanna's work stress as witnesses weigh in on her mental health

We may be two years away from our next general election, but the possibility of more tax is already being debated. 

Labour is starting to warm the public up to the idea of a wealth or capital gains tax being part of their 2026 manifesto - with leader Chris Hipkins saying its necessary to deal with our ageing population.  

The possibility of introducing either tax has been debated by the left, and rejected by the right, for years – but is it time we have that conversation? 

Today on The Front Page, we discuss this with tax experts Robin Oliver from Oliver Shaw and Geof Nightingale from Geof Nightingale Advisory.
