As the cost of living crisis drags on, it seems even some of the country’s top educators can’t avoid the woes of inflation.

An analysis by the Herald has revealed school fees for many of the country’s top private schools have risen drastically in the last two years.

So what’s driving those costs – and do these schools results justify the fees?

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior journalist Alex Spence talks us through the rising cost of going to the country’s most exclusive schools, and later, Head of Data Chris Knox looks at the results for these schools.

Are private schools worth their increasingly rising fees?

Climate change conference COP29 has wrapped up with a significant but controversial final agreement.

Negotiations came down to the wire over a US$1.3 trillion to help finance poorer countries to deal with the impacts of climate change and cut emissions.

But, only about $300 billion of that target will come from direct payments or loans from richer countries – which has sparked backlash from nations in the direct line of fire from rising sea levels and increasing temperatures.

So what does this deal actually mean, and is getting a deal better than no deal at all?

Today on The Front Page, University of Canterbury Professor of Political Science and International Relations, Bronwyn Hayward is with us to discuss the details.

New research shows a third of New Zealand adults are obese – and policies focused on individual responsibility are failing.

A Helen Clark Foundation report suggests tackling obesity will require cracking down on junk food advertising, the proliferation of takeaways, and bringing in new levies on unhealthy products.

So, is the era of placing the blame on the individual going to be a thing of the past? And can the government to anything to curb obesity in this country?

Today on The Front Page, Helen Clark Foundation executive director Murray Bruges is with us to discuss.

Regional development has been a major focus of the coalition government.

The Fast Track Bill, the return of oil and gas exploration and the Regional Infrastructure Fund is all promised to get work back to the regions and help them thrive. 

And the man running the show is the so-called Matua of Mining and Prince of the Provinces, Shane Jones.

He’s the Minister for oceans and fisheries, regional development, and resources – and there’s not an endangered frog or a surfing hippie that’s going to get in his way.

Today on The Front Page, Jones joins us to discuss his reckons on what’s best for the regions, and whether you can fight climate change at the same time as backing provincial New Zealand.
