It’s been a year since terrorist group Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel – sparking the deadliest conflict in the Gaza region for decades. 

Since then, at least 40,000 people have died, many more injured, 1.9 million displaced, and countless buildings and homes destroyed. 

Aid organisations have consistently warned of the humanitarian crisis on the ground – and are pleading with the world for help. 

Today on The Front Page, World Vision New Zealand’s Head of Advocacy and Justice, Rebekah Armstrong discusses the extent of the crisis after a year of fighting.

One year since October 7 attacks: What can be done to end Gaza's humanitarian crisis?

The Prime Minister has initiated and survived a motion of confidence as National Party leader. 

After about a three-hour caucus meeting, Christopher Luxon read a short statement out to media before leaving without taking questions. 

This all comes after weeks of speculation about whether his performance during the Iran fuel crisis mixed with poor polling would be enough to get him kicked out of the Beehive. 

So, does Luxon actually have the full support of his caucus? Will this all quieten leadership rumours? And what will it mean for the election?  

NZ Herald chief political reporter Jamie Ensor was in amongst the action all day today – he joins us now on The Front Page.

Luxon survives confidence vote, but questions remain

The Government has quietly agreed to repeal several references to Treaty principles within laws. 

The move – which wasn’t publicly announced – follows a coalition agreement to review Treaty provisions across 23 pieces of legislation.

Ministers argue the changes will bring greater clarity and consistency.

Critics warn it could strain Māori-Crown relationships even further, and could trigger legal challenges.

So, what does it all mean? And, does it echo the deeply controversial Treaty Principles Bill in any way?

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald chief political reporter Jamie Ensor is with us to break it down.

Government quietly moves to cut Treaty principles from some laws

It seems the ongoing uncertainty of whether pumps will dry out has got people thinking greener.

As at April 12, there were 5,137 EVs registered this year – up 116% from the same time last year. Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle, or PHEVs, are at an all-time high up 75% and Hybrids up 5%.

These kinds of numbers haven’t been seen since the Clean Car Discount/post-lockdown boom seen in 2023.

Sellers and auction sites are reporting hugely increased interest in zero-emissions cars; with good reason, because a typical EV might cost you as little as $10-15 to "fill" at home overnight.

But, before you Covid-style panic buy an electric vehicle, it might pay to do some homework first. Today on The Front Page, motoring expert Clive Matthew-Wilson.
