While The Front Page is on summer break, we’re taking a look back at some of the biggest news stories and top-rated episodes from the podcast in 2024.   

Once it came into power, the coalition Government signalled “everything’s on the table” when it comes to a major shake-up of New Zealand’s gun laws. 

The world praised us when we took swift action following the Christchurch terror attack – banning semi-automatic firearms and assault rifles.   

But, now a coalition agreement between National and Act could see semi-automatics make a return to gun ranges. Various stages of reform are currently been worked through by politicians.  

In the US, April 20 marked 25 years since the Columbine high school massacre – where two teenagers murdered 12 students and a teacher.   

15-year-old Daniel Mauser was one of those killed in the school’s library.  

Daniel’s father, Tom, has spent the last 25 years advocating for gun control in America – and he joined us on The Front Page to discuss why New Zealand shouldn’t be complacent when it comes to firearms.   

New episodes return January 13th.
