There are a number of employment dispute avenues in New Zealand, dependent on what industry you’re in.

If you’re one of the 114,000 registered teachers in this country – you have to appear before something called the “Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal”.

Last year, there were 524 complaints, mandatory reports, and self-reports received by the Teaching Council - which is 0.5% of the total number of teachers who held a practising certificate.

It’s more than 2023, which saw 462 -- that accounted for 0.4%.

For the latest in our series looking at how different tribunals work, today on The Front Page we’re joined again by Open Justice reporter Jeremy Wilkinson.

Teachers Disciplinary Tribunal: How misconduct is handled in teaching

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/7784f840-c291-422a-924b-ad9000bbad71/clips/d9b3ac8c-2785-4b5d-a242-b2c2001c8a08/transcript

It was February 19, 2013.

Maree Schafer was excited to start a hairdressing course at the Eastern Institute of Technology the next day.

That night, three cars - a silver Holden Commodore, a blue Ford Falcon, and a grey Nissan Skyline were street racing near Napier.

The Commodore continued through an intersection, going well over 180km/hour, when the driver lost control, slid sideways across the road, and crashed into a tree.

There were three occupants in that car. One was 18-year-old Maree. She died at the scene.

Twelve years later, and boy racer events are still happening.

People are injured, cars totalled, police intimidated, and, people die.

Just last month, riot police clashed with what the Police Minister’s called “cowardly, try-hard idiots” in Levin and Palmerston North – and police are preparing for more gatherings.

Today on The Front Page, Coreen Schafer, Maree’s mother, tells us what she’d say to one of these kids, and what life is like after losing her daughter to street racing.

Reissue: Mother calls for tougher boy racers laws, 12 years after daughter's death in street race

French exchange student, Eloi Rolland, was last seen five years ago, today.

The then-18-year-old's disappearance has baffled authorities ever since... Was it a murder, kidnapping, an accident, did he get lost in the bush, commit suicide or plan an escape. Is he still alive, does he want to be found?

He searches Google Maps for directions to Piha about 5am the morning he vanished. He catches a train. He walks for nearly two hours. He turned on to Piha Road at 9.16am. At 9.48 the battery on his phone goes dead.

And then... nothing. Nothing for five years.

Today on The Front Page, Herald senior journalist Anna Leask joins us as we take a look back at Eloi’s disappearance.  

We’ll also hear some from Eloi’s parents, Thierry and Catherine, and Bruno Dupuis of Acapella Productions, who directed a documentary series in France about Eloi’s story.

New Zealanders will finally get to experience the labyrinth that is an IKEA store from December 4.

The new Sylvia Park site in Auckland is one of the company’s largest in the Southern Hemisphere – about the size of three rugby fields.

There’ll be thousands of products available online and in store, and yes, they will be serving up their famous Swedish meatballs in a 426-seat cafeteria.

So, why do we get so excited about international brands setting up on our shores? And, is there enough appetite for IKEA to succeed where others haven’t?

Today on The Front Page, Quantum Jump CEO and marketing expert Ben Goodale is with us to explain the hype around one of the world’s leading retailers coming to our shores.
