It's expected twice-convicted double-murderer Mark Lundy will be slipped back into the community. 

He's been released from prison after more than 23 years for the murders of his wife Christine and 7-year-old daughter, Amber, in their Palmerston North home. 

The now 66-year-old has always maintained his innocence 

Criminal lawyer Steve Cullen told Mike Hosking where parolees are released is never made public. 

He says there'd be a risk of vigilante groups or media throngs if it was.

The All Blacks are focusing on discipline heading into the third test of Rugby's Greatest Rivalry.  

The score is tied at one-all, and although there's still one test after this weekend's clash at Soweto, this is technically the series decider. 

Fabian Holland has dropped to the bench for this test, and he told Mike Hosking they need to clean up their discipline – that was how they led the Springboks into the game and that showed on the scoreboard. 

He says another big area is going to be set pieces, especially scrums and the lineout, as they kind of let themselves down there last week.

The country's bolstering its National Security Strategy by jumping on board a new partnership. 

New Zealand and the ‌US will jointly fund a major port upgrade on the island of Penrhyn in the Cooks – a former military base. 

China had previously expressed interest in seabed mining in the area. 

Retired Major General John G. Howard told Mike Hosking we likely didn't spend as much on foreign investment in the past, but it's where we need to spend in order to build our national security resilience.  

He says we'll never be able to compete with superpowers, but the port upgrade is not a material figure against our GDP, and the effect will outweigh competition and build that resilience.

The Government's proposed move-on orders look set to be watered down.

The Bill will let Police order people out of public spaces for rough sleeping, begging, and disorderly behaviour. 

The Justice Select Committee suggested changes include lifting the minimum expulsion age from 14 to 18 and reducing fines from $2000 to $1000. 

Committee Chair, National's Tom Rutherford told Mike Hosking two contentious changes his party didn't agree with, also got through. 

He says this includes narrowing the definition of begging and allowing people to come back to the area after receiving a move-on order. 

But Rutherford says he's overall happy where it's ended up, as they've made some pragmatic changes.
