How Netsafe went from championing online safety to fighting bullying claims

The US blockade of Iranian ports has begun.

President Donald Trump is warning any ships that try to disrupt US efforts will be eliminated. Earlier, Iran's parliament speaker said the country would not "surrender under threats".
Weekend peace talks between the US and Iran ended without resolution, with Trump blaming Iran 's unwillingness to end its nuclear ambitions.

Vice President JD Vance has said that it’s up to Iran and the “ball is in their court” about furthering peace talks.

So, what exactly is a blockade? Is it legal? And, what could it mean for the wider conflict?

Today on The Front Page, University of Waikato international law professor Al Gillespie is with us to unpack the implications and explore what this move might really achieve.

Why Trump’s Iran blockade could backfire at sea

It’s 208 days until Kiwis hit the polls and vote for the next Government.

And despite campaigning not officially starting, the Prime Minister’s performance has been called into question, time and time again.

Accusations range from Luxon leaning too much into corporate speak and acting like a CEO to dodging questions, and even dodging entire press conferences during a global fuel crisis to open a stadium.

With flubbed media interviews going viral, Christopher Luxon’s behaviour is being put under a microscope. So much so that there are whisperings of a coup. 

Can one man’s public image impact an entire party? And who’s been sent in to help National months ahead of election day?  

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Editor-at-Large, and Media Insider, Shayne Currie is with us to break down Luxon’s trials and tribulations, and how he might turn them around.

There are more than 70 Kiwis banged up abroad, according to new data.

But, the true figure is likely higher, with many detainees choosing not to tell the New Zealand government they’ve been arrested.

They’re detained across dozens of countries, from the US and Australia to parts of Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

NZ Herald senior journalist Anna Leask has been looking into New Zealanders locked up overseas, she joins us today on The Front Page.
