Alcohol law reform could be on the cards this government term.

That’s after alcohol was identified as one of the key factors that need to be addressed to reduce deaths from non-communicable diseases in the Government’s Policy Statement on health.

It comes at the start of Dry July, the yearly fundraiser that encourages people to give up the booze for a month – but now, many are adopting that as a permanent fixture in their lives.

To discuss what alcohol reform could look like, today on The Front Page, we’re joined by Andrew Galloway, executive director of Alcohol Healthwatch.

Dry July: Is it time we change the laws around alcohol?

While the final results are set to trickle in slowly, the exit poll for the UK election has shown a historic landslide for the Labour Party.

The poll suggests Sir Keir Starmer will be the next Prime Minister of one of our closest allies, with a potential majority of 170 seats, while the ruling Conservative Party is out after 14 years of power, and has suffered their worst ever defeat to boot.

To discuss the seismic change in UK politics, and what it might mean for a Kiwi OE to London, we’re joined now on The Front Page by former New Zealand political journalist turned expat, Henry Cooke.

UK election result sees big political shift: What you need to know

The Government has unveiled grand plans to ‘flood’ the market with more houses, announcing new changes to planning rules that will require councils to plan for 30 years of housing growth.

It comes after Housing Minister Chris Bishop said he wants to see house prices fall.

He’s already getting his wish though, with prices dropping to a point that in some of the country’s biggest cities, homeowners are delisting their properties rather than selling for a discount.

So, will flooding the housing market work in a country where owning property is the cornerstone of our economy?

Today on The Front Page, Opes Partners economist Ed McKnight joins to give his take on the state of the property market.

Government announces plans to 'flood' housing market - what will it mean for house prices?

In recent months, stories of extreme turbulence have come to dominate travel headlines.

A flight between Spain and Uruguay this week had to be diverted to Brazil after dozens were injured due to turbulence in just the latest incident. In one case in April, a man onboard an Air New Zealand flight from Bali broke his leg, while in May, a violent Singapore Airlines flight saw dozens hospitalised and one passenger die.  

On top of this, we’re also seeing multiple stories of domestic flights where planes have had issues landing, and local and international flights getting turned around midway through their journeys due to technical issues.

So why are more flights seeing extreme turbulence, should we be concerned by flights turning around, and what are your rights as a passenger if flights go wrong? 

Today on The Front Page, chief executive of Massey University’s School of Aviation, Ashok Podavul, talks about the technical side of what happens when things go wrong, and later, Consumer NZ's Jessica Walker discusses
