The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change has just released a harrowing report that says our time is fast running out to avoid catastrophe. While the report focuses on what can be done to avoid catastrophe, a recent spotlight on some disappearing carparks shows some in New Zealand are unwilling to make those changes.

Today, NZ Herald senior writer Simon Wilson joins Damien to look at what New Zealand can do to make a difference.

IPCC report shows why we need to stop listening to 'loudmouths'

You might look on Facebook marketplace for a new couch, a lamp, a rug.

But, what about class A drugs? Or how about a ghost gun?

A Herald investigation has revealed at least 56 listings were circulating on the site offering magic mushrooms, cannabis, and in one case LSD across the North Island and top of the south.

And that could just be the tip of the iceberg of illicit sales on social media.

So how do we get on top of this?

NZ Herald senior investigative reporter Michael Morrah has been looking into this, and joins us today on The Front Page.

Reissue: From drugs to weapons, illicit items are for sale on social media

It’s been revealed that Police ignored sex allegations against a former top cop, and instead prosecuted a woman for ‘revenge emails’.

The woman had emailed police, politicians, and newsrooms accusing former deputy police commissioner Jevon McSkimming of being a sexual predator.

The police watchdog has released a scathing 135-page report into how the allegations were treated, and how the “ambitions of a senior police officer were put above the interests of a vulnerable woman”.

Police Commissioner Richard Chambers said she was “ignored and badly let down”.

He has said it makes for “appalling reading” and the conduct of the former top brass is “inexcusable”.

He was briefed about the situation just two days before he stepped into the top role.  

During the course of the investigation, detectives discovered McSkimming had used his work devices to search for pornography, including bestiality and child sex exploitation material, for at least five years.

The 52-year-old resigned in disgrace and was later charged with possession of objectionable material. He’s pleaded guilty last week and will be sentenced next month.

This whole ordeal has been indisputably damaging to one of the most important institutions in our country.

Later we’ll speak to HELP Auckland’s executive director Kathryn McPhillips about how to support anyone who has experienced sexual abuse.

But first, someone who knows all too well what it’s like to step up to those in power is Louise Nicholas.

She alleged police officers raped her as a teen in the 80s, this resulted in criminal trials, a Commission of Inquiry, and an officer being jailed for attempting to pervert the course of justice.

She is a campaigner for victims of sexual assault, and joins us now on The Front Page.

Reissue: McSkimming scandal: How there is hope for survivors in those who spoke up

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.
