After a month long trial and three days of deliberation, the jury has returned a verdict in the Lauren Dickason trial. 

Dickason has been found guilty of murder for the deaths of her three children, six year old Liane and two year old twins Maya and Karla, in 2021.  

Dickason has always admitted to doing the crime, but pleaded not guilty due to the state of her mental health at the time.  

The trial has been closely followed by thousands of Kiwis over the last few weeks. 

The New Zealand Herald’s Anna Leask has been there covering the trial, and joins Damien to discuss what she witnessed over the last five weeks.

The financial year is coming to an end. 

It means we’ll see a whole bunch of policies and adjustments from April 1.  

Everything from crayfish catch limits and Pharmac funding to changes to the Living and Minimum wages. 

Super annuitants, working families, students and beneficiaries are among those who will receive additional support. 

On the law-and-order front, the government’s crackdown on drug drivers is set to ramp up.

And power bills are expected to increase, after the Commerce Commission agreed to let local lines companies, and Transport, charge households and businesses more a couple years ago.

Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald business editor at large, Liam Dann, is with us to break down what changes are in the works, and what it might mean for you – and our economy.

With the word ‘crisis’ now comes talk about working from home.

As oil prices rise and the cost of petrol surges towards $4 a litre, it’s been flagged as a potential voluntary measure in contingency plans.

There’s been no direct government endorsement or mandate for working from home, but it’s been recognised as a possible fuel-saving step if the crisis worsens, alongside prioritising essential sectors.

Today on The Front Page, University of Otago business school associate professor Paula O’Kane is with us to take us through different ways of working, and what businesses could do to help out their employees.
