New Zealand may be on the cusp of another measles outbreak.

There are ten known cases: One of those cases came from overseas, and the other nine were contracted locally.

Health NZ has said the risk of further measles cases, contacts, and exposures across the country remains ‘very high’.

The confirmation of new cases unconnected to international travel though has experts worried.

Today on The Front Page, University of Canterbury senior lecturer in epidemiology, Anna Howe, is with us to discuss what you need to know.

The Corrections Association says New Zealand’s prisons are in ‘crisis’.

Last year saw record-breaking numbers of assaults on staff, almost double what they were just seven years ago.

There were also more than 15-hundred prisoner-on-prisoner attacks - the highest annual figure on record.

All of this comes with overcrowding, tight budgets, and a growing gang and meth problem.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald senior reporter, Derek Cheng, is with us to dive into the numbers.

There are more than 9,000 gang members in New Zealand, and thousands more associates.

The coalition government from the get-go promised a crackdown on gangs – they've banned gang insignia in public, handed police greater powers, and created laws to disrupt get-togethers. But, is that all enough?

Jared Savage has been a journalist at the NZ Herald for about 20 years, with a focus on organised crime.

His latest book, Underworld, is the third in a series of he’s released since 2020 – and the latest instalment delves deeper into our country’s dark underbelly of gangs, guns, drugs, and money – lots and lots of money.

Today on The Front Page, Savage joins us to discuss the rising threat of organised crime in New Zealand.

A dark day in Australia, as two gunmen opened fire at a Bondi Beach Jewish event marking the first day of Hannukah.

Sixteen people are dead, including one of the assailants.

Police have confirmed there were two offenders and they aren’t looking for anyone else.

One of them, a 50-year-old man, is dead, and a second, a 24-year-old man, is in critical but stable condition. They were a father and son.

There were dozens of people in NSW hospitals overnight, from the ages of 10 to 87.

New South Wales premier Chris Minns has said “Antisemitism is toxic it is cancerous, and leads to devastating implications”.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said “We as a nation are stronger than the cowards who did this”.

Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor, Al Gillespie is with us to discuss this tragic attack and what it might mean for New Zealand.
