The coalition government’s first Budget is out on May 30.

After a rush to find savings, cancelling multiple major projects and cutting back the public service, Finance Minister Nicola Willis has been tempering expectations for a splashy budget.

What you need to know about Budget 2024: Will we still get our tax cuts?

New Zealand politics kicks off this year under the shadow of a looming general election.

From a continued cost of living crisis and economic recovery to Treaty debates and tensions between coalition partners, this year will see a mixed bag from the Beehive.

It comes off the back of a major push for economic growth in 2025, with RMA reform and fast-track approvals dominated headlines.

But, will all that pay off?

Today on The Front Page, we dive into where each party stands, what they’ve announced thus far, and what the election campaign could bring us with Newstalk ZB political reporter Ethan Griffiths.

A major online security breach has raised questions about how safe our private information is online.

Manage My Health’s health portal systems were compromised over the New Year, putting the data of over 120,000 users at risk.

We check in with internet security expert, Blackveil’s Adam Burns, who immediately identified flaws in the website – which isn’t unusual for Kiwi domains.

But first on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior reporter David Fisher has been following the breach, and will break down what happened, and who is behind it.

Mark Mitchell has heralded the government’s promise to be tough on crime.

He’s been incredibly clear from the get-go that his primary goal is to make New Zealand an uncomfortable place for gangs to operate.

He holds five portfolios: Police, Corrections, Emergency Management and Recovery, Ethnic Communities, and Sports and Recreation.

So, how does an MP with so many hats feel about how his government has tackled the big issues?

Today on The Front Page, Mitchell joins us to talk cops, corrections, and communities.
