The Police Commissioner is supporting an Interpol base in the Pacific, and says many pacific nations are also on board.  

Interpol has pitched the idea to police representatives from 22 Pacific Island nations at a conference in Waitangi, in the Bay of Islands.  

Richard Chambers says 13 of the countries are already members of Interpol.  

He told Mike Hosking it would be a big help to those police forces.  

Chambers says it provides them with information and intelligence to fight crime.

The Warriors are in for a challenge as they aim to go two for two in the NRL season.  

They stunned the Roosters in their opening clash, claiming victory 42-18 at Mt Smart Stadium.  

The Warriors are back at Mount Smart tonight, this time for a clash against the Raiders. 

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking the Roosters were ill-disciplined – they didn’t give respect to the Warriors, and they got caned in all areas of the game. 

But the Raiders are a different side, and he says their ruck speed is the best in the game – if you control that, you control the game.

A massive new power user could put extra pressure on the South Island’s electricity system. 

Datagrid has just received resource consent for a $3 billion, 78 thousand square metre data centre north of Invercargill. 

About 1,200 jobs will work on the construction and about 50 people will staff the facility. 

It will be the second-largest power user in the country behind the nearby Tiwai Aluminium Smelter. 

Auckland University computer science lecturer Ulrich Speidel told Mike Hosking it's going to shift the power balance in the South Island quite a bit. 

He says in terms of power use, that’s about 70% of what Christchurch consumes, and you can’t just add major power users without eventually running into generation limits.

She says a Sheraton Hotel is opening next year in the former Noah's Hotel building, which will add 240 rooms.
