People respond to election losses in various ways, from protesting to legal action to considering moving country.

But, what about adopting a vow of celibacy through something called the “4B movement”?

That’s what some young women in the US have promised on social media in protest of Donald Trump winning back the White House.

No dating. No sex, No childbirth. And no marriage.

In a world where: the next US President was found liable for sexual abuse, online vitriol against women is skyrocketing,  and the term “your body, my choice” is trending online... how effective could this 4B movement be?

 University of Otago PhD candidate Rachel Billington has researched how young people interact with each other online, and joins us now on The Front Page to discuss this growing movement.

Regional development has been a major focus of the coalition government.

The Fast Track Bill, the return of oil and gas exploration and the Regional Infrastructure Fund is all promised to get work back to the regions and help them thrive. 

And the man running the show is the so-called Matua of Mining and Prince of the Provinces, Shane Jones.

He’s the Minister for oceans and fisheries, regional development, and resources – and there’s not an endangered frog or a surfing hippie that’s going to get in his way.

Today on The Front Page, Jones joins us to discuss his reckons on what’s best for the regions, and whether you can fight climate change at the same time as backing provincial New Zealand.

The Government’s promised the “free ride” for gangs, is officially over.

From today, gang patches will no longer be allowed to be worn in public, courts will be able to issue non-consorting orders, and Police will be able to stop members from communicating with each other.

Greater weight will also be given to gang membership at sentencing – and repeat offenders continually convicted of displaying their patches in public will be subject to a new court order, prohibiting them from possessing any gang insignia in public, or private, for five years.

But any of this be any kind of deterrent to the more than 9000 gang members in New Zealand?

Today on The Front Page, lifetime Black Power member and community advocate Denis O'Reilly is with us to discuss his perspective on these new laws.

New anti-gang laws come into effect - but will they actually work?

The war in Ukraine has hit the one-thousand-day mark.

On February 24, 2022 – Russia invaded Ukraine – since then, hundreds of thousands of people have died, many more have been injured, and millions are displaced.

It's been called the largest and deadliest in Europe since World War II.

This week, US President Joe Biden gave the green light for Ukraine to strike Russia with US-made, long-range missiles.

It comes just nine weeks before Donald Trump takes office, who on the election trail pledged to put an end to the war.

So, after a thousand days how will these missiles change the war, and what will a Trump peace deal look like?

Today on The Front Page, Waikato University international law professor, Alexander Gillespie, is with us to discuss if there’s an end in sight for the conflict.
