How Netsafe went from championing online safety to fighting bullying claims

Donald J. Trump will become the 47th President of the United States of America.

Democrat Kamala Harris called the former president to congratulate him and offer their support for a peaceful transition of power.

Trump won’t take up office until January 20 next year – and there are a few things that’ll happen between now and then.

He faces sentencing for his felony conviction for a start, that’s put down for November 26. A judge, though, could decide to throw it out though before then.

There are then some formalities – like appointing some 4000 political positions in a new administration – and it’ll be next year when the idea of tariffs will come to the fore, but it’s something the rest of the world is already anticipating.

On the campaign trial, he promised anywhere from 10 to 20% tariffs on imports.

So, what does that mean for New Zealand exporters, specially given the US is one of our biggest trading partners?

Today on The Front Page, Beef and Lamb NZ chair, Kate Acland is with us to discuss, but first, we speak to NZUS Council executive director Fiona Cooper, about our blossoming relationship with the United States – and why we should all probably take a deep breath.

What a Trump win means for NZ: ‘The devil will be in the detail’

The rise and rise of online retailers has hit an all-time high – with the likes of Temu and Shein dominating consumption worldwide.

New research has revealed over the course of three months, one in four New Zealanders surveyed purchased products from ultra-fast fashion retailer Temu. A further 14% of Kiwis are estimated to have recently purchased from Shein.

The stats keep coming: Tearfund’s 2021 Ethical Fashion Report found in 2019 that 40% of clothes imported into New Zealand could be made using forced and child labour. It’s all while one study found garments were thrown out after no more than 10 wearings.

So, when it comes to t-shirts and dresses being sold as low as $6 – who is really paying the price?

Today on The Front Page, Tearfund head of advocacy Claire Gray joins us to discuss.

It’s the one story that’s been impossible to escape this year – the US Presidential election.


Months of debates, rallies, and shocking developments have led to today when Americans are heading to the polls to decide who will lead their nation for the next four years.


Vice-President Kamala Harris is the Democratic nominee. Taking over from incumbent Joe Biden, she’s up against former President Donald Trump in what many are calling one of the most important elections of our lifetime.

We speak to NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan who's on the ground in the US - and run through the six months leading to election day.
