Former FBI Director James Comey has expressed concern about what a second Trump presidency could mean for the Department of Justice.

Comey famously claimed he would move to New Zealand if Trump was re-elected for a second term back in 2020.

Comey says Trump was a threat to the rule of law during his term in the Oval Office - and could easily make things worse.

"If he got another four years, he would be a continuing threat - and a more dangerous threat, because he'd be both smarter and more interested in retribution."

James Comey: former FBI Director concerned about the impact of a second Trump presidency

Girl Falling by Hayley Scrivener. She wrote a book a few years ago called Dirt Town which fit right into the recent genre of Australian country/Outback thrillers, and I loved. In this one, Finn and her best friend Daphne have been extremely close friends all their lives, growing up in the Blue Mountains in NSW. Now that they’re older, Finn is away at university and Daphne’s working as a guide in the Mountains where she’s fallen in love with a beautiful woman named Magdu. This romance puts real strain on her relationship with her old friend who starts to act strangely, trying to keep control of the friendship they’ve always had. One day, the three of them go mountain climbing and Magdu falls to her death – is it suicide, or a terrible accident, or something more sinister…?

Home Truths by Charity Norman who is a New Zealand author living in Hawkes Bay. This book though is set in Yorkshire, where Livia and her husband Scott have a very happy life with their two children, until Scott’s disabled brother dies suddenly one day which spins their whole world out of control and Scott goes searching for answers – a search that takes him into the world of conspiracy theories.  As his grip on reality slides, he makes a decision that will put the family on a collision course with tragedy – as we see at the very start of the book where Livia is on trial for attempted murder.

This week on the Sunday Panel, journalist and broadcaster Wilhelmina Shrimpton and Chris Henry from 818 PR Agency joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more!

Should we be more concerned about political corruption? A new report from the Helen Clark foundation suggests the political sector needs reform, citing concerns about donations and lobbying. Do we need to address this?

Why are we so mean? Between the Rachael ‘Raygun’ Gunn backlash at the recent Olympics and the hate directed at Marla Kavanaugh, it feels like people are piling on with the abuse and vitriol. What do we make of this?
