Georgia Rajic: Australian sports commentator ahead of Matildas v England World Cup semi-final

Nearly half of youth offenders placed in community remand homes run away.

A memo from Oranga Tamariki revealed between August 2020 and February 2023, 40 percent of youth offenders placed in community remand facilities nationwide escaped lawful custody. In Auckland, 49 percent escape. 

Blue Light Chief Operating Officer Brendon Crompton tells Mike Hosking the remand facilities have no restraint policy, meaning the youth can not be stopped.

Teenagers are impulsive and not necessarily able to recognise that the community space is a good place for them to be – with three meals a day and programmes on offer.

Boeing is poised to launch astronauts to the International Space Station for Nasa.

The Boeing Starliner is set for launch tomorrow, years behind schedule and more than a billion dollars over budget. 

US correspondent Richard Arnold tells Mike Hosking Boeing has struggled with all sorts of technical issues as they work to become the alternate space operator.

When it was tested for the first time, the Starliner had a computer problem that put it in the wrong orbit – detrimental if it were to have had people on board.

Plus, the emergence of trillions of cicadas is under way in parts of the US. The invasion is expected to last for six weeks.
