Police Commissioner Andrew Coster announced this week - he is ending his term early, to take up a new role as the head of the Social Investment Agency at the end of the year.

Coster was the face of the previous government’s push to ‘police by consent’ and copped a huge amount of criticism from National when they were in Opposition.

The race is on to replace Coster – so who will National pick, and what will that decision say about their approach to tackling law and order?

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald investigative reporter Jared Savage will share his insight into Coster’s tenure, and how the Government might change tack.

On August 9 2021, the day after the Tokyo Olympics ended, cyclist Olivia Podmore died in a suspected suicide.

Podmore had represented New Zealand in the 2016 Olympics, but was not selected five years later.

Her death sparked shock throughout the close knit cycling community and wider sporting network, and the culture at Cycling NZ was eventually investigated.

Now, over three years later, a coronial inquiry into Podmore’s death is due to begin today.

NZ Herald reporter Tom Dillane has been covering the story for the last three years, and joins us today on The Front Page to discuss Olivia Podmore’s life, career, and her tragic death.

People respond to election losses in various ways, from protesting to legal action to considering moving country.

But, what about adopting a vow of celibacy through something called the “4B movement”?

That’s what some young women in the US have promised on social media in protest of Donald Trump winning back the White House.

No dating. No sex, No childbirth. And no marriage.

In a world where: the next US President was found liable for sexual abuse, online vitriol against women is skyrocketing,  and the term “your body, my choice” is trending online... how effective could this 4B movement be?

 University of Otago PhD candidate Rachel Billington has researched how young people interact with each other online, and joins us now on The Front Page to discuss this growing movement.

David Seymour’s Treaty Principles Bill was introduced to Parliament last week – with its first reading debate scheduled for today.

The bill has sparked fierce criticism since it was included as part of National and Act’s coalition agreement last year. 

Protests are expected outside Parliament today, while thousands of marchers protesting Government policies affecting Maori crossed the Auckland Harbour Bridge yesterday as part of a hikoi to Parliament.

So, now that we’ve actually seen the Bill, what’s in it, and what are the chances of it actually getting across the line?

Today on The Front Page, Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls joins us to discuss one of the most contentious Government bills in recent memory.
