Winter weather: What to expect in the coming months as La Nina replaces El Nino

Major earthquakes may not be a regular occurrence in New Zealand, but the threat of them is often in the back of our minds.

With a major faultline running through the middle of the country, you only have to look to the events in Christchurch and Kaikoura to know the risk they pose.

Now, new modelling has highlighted the impact a catastrophic quake could have on this country, and if we’re prepared for what that means.

Today on The Front Page, Dr Bill Fry and Dr Matt Gerstenberger from GNS Science discuss the latest research on our seismic threat.

Earthquakes and tsunamis: What the latest research says about the threat of natural disasters

There’s a new movement on social media in response to celebrities’ views – or lack thereof – on the war in Palestine.  

“Blockout 2024” started with an inconspicuous video of a TikTok influencer posed outside the glamorous Met Gala with the sound bite “let them eat cake”.

Now, an online movement to unfollow and block celebrities is gaining momentum – with the likes of Kim Kardashian and Kylie Jenner losing hundreds of thousands of followers.  

It's raised questions like: Will this effort have any effect? Why do we look at celebrities as our moral compass? And what about the celebrities who are escaping being ‘cancelled’ all together?

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago researcher, Dr Sabrina Moro is with us to dive into the latest social media firestorm.

Blockout 2024: Cancel culture takes new form in viral trend, but will it have any impact?

The National-led Government is continuing its crackdown on gangs.

Police Minister Mark Mitchell this week announced New Zealand will get its own National Gang Unit and district Gang Disruption Units.

The announcement follows a rise in gang violence, including the fatal shooting of a man on Auckland’s Ponsonby Rd by a Killer Beez gang member.

It comes off the back of anti-gang legislation that continues to make its way through Parliament – which will see non-consorting laws and gang patch bans introduced.

Today on The Front Page, Mark Mitchell joins to explain this Government’s push to make gang life as uncomfortable as possible.
