The Government will introduce legislation later this year to create the Young Serious Offender category and empower Youth Court judges to send them to new boot camps. 

It’s all while Oranga Tamariki officials supported the view of experts that boot camps are not effective. 

So, why have every other iteration of bootcamps failed – and how might this government make them better?  

Today on The Front Page, Herald senior writer Derek Cheng is with us to discuss our tattered history of bootcamps, and what officials have warned the government about them this time round.

The Government has set its sights on sorting out Wellington City Council. 

After councillors last week voted against a plan to sell shares in Wellington’s airport, the city’s long term plan will need to be re-opened.  

It has prompted Local Government Minister Simeon Brown to seek advice on potential interventions, and he has labeled the situation a ‘shambles’. 

So how bad have things got in the Capital? 

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Wellington issues reporter and host of On the Tiles Local Edition, Georgina Campbell, is with us to unpack the issues.

Government considering Wellington City Council intervention: Is it really a 'shambles'?

This week marks one year since the 2023 election. 

That election saw Labour’s historic majority cut in half, and started weeks of negotiations between National, Act and NZ First about the shape of the government.  

Marking the anniversary, a 1News Verian poll shows 30% of respondents believe the country is in better shape than a year ago – while 40% think it’s worse.  

That divisive nature has been a cornerstone of this government, but is that having any impact on their policies? And what about the other side of the aisle?  

Today on The Front Page, political commentator Ben Thomas joins us to analyse the last year in politics.

How is the coalition Government performing, one year after being elected?

The Official Cash Rate’s been cut to 4.75 percent – which is being touted as welcome news for households all over New Zealand. It’s the lowest the OCR has been in 18 months.

The Monetary Policy Committee said that annual consumer price inflation was within its 1 to 3% inflation target range and converging on the 2% midpoint.

While plenty of people are popping the champagne over this announcement, is this latest cut masking some of the other issues in the economy?

Today on The Front Page, Herald Business-editor-at-large Liam Dann joins us to discuss the stats you need to know.
