This morning, Ilena talked to Golriz Ghahraman, the Green Party spokesperson for Foreign Affairs, on the need to urgently introduce legislation to better regulate the export of military products that could be used to breach human rights in other countries. 

At the beginning of this year, it was discovered by journalists that Air New Zealand staff helped maintain and run vessels from the Royal Saudi Navy while they were enforcing the blockade of Yemen. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had signed off on the export of military-use equipment in Saudi Arabia.

The report from a recent independent review by MPs has a number of recommendations to hold companies and exporters to account. 

Golriz talks about why better regulation is needed and what recommendations are in the report.

Three-storied houses could be more common in Auckland under a new housing policy supported by both Labour and National.

The new policy, which was announced earlier this week, enables people to build up to three homes of three storeys on most sites without any need for resource consent, starting August twenty twenty three.

Analysis from consultants PWC told the government these changes would add between 48,200 and 105,500 new dwellings over the next five to eight years.

Professor John Tookey is a professor in construction management in AUT, and he said while the new policy is a significant step forward the devil is in the details.

Newshub is proposing to slash the radio reporter role after ending an arrangement with Mediaworks.

Currently Newshub’s parent company, Discovery, is supplying Mediaworks radio stations including Magic Talk with radio news, but this will end in December.

Mediaworks stations will also not be simulcasting Newshub’s The Am Show.

Instead, the company will be creating its own newsroom to produce radio news, and a new radio breakfast show.

Justin spoke to AUT’s Head of Journalism Greg Treadwell about the move.
