Concerns from a former Attorney General, over the sentences being handed down in criminal cases.

The Crown is now appealing teenage rapist Jayden Meyer's nine month home detention sentence, over the raping of four girls and the sexual violation of a fifth.

As well,  a Rotorua woman involved in a drug debt revenge kidnapping plot and brutal beating,  was sentenced to seven months' home detention in emergency housing.

Former Attorney General and barrister Chris Finlayson told Mike Hosking there's an emerging problem of judges having to consider too many factors at sentencing.

The stronger focus on literacy in education appears to be well-received by educators, so far.

The Government's set a target of getting 80% of year eights to the expected curriculum level by 2030.

It's committed $67 million in the upcoming Budget to teacher training and resources, particularly on teaching children how to read using phonics.

Lifting Literacy Aotearoa Chair Alice Wilson told Mike Hosking that it's critical we get this right.

She says they're thrilled the Government's put its money where its mouth is and invested in teacher education in a tight fiscal environment.
