I want to get a picture of crime in NZ today, and I want it explained. Former top cop, forensic investigator Lance Burdett joins me. What’s going on? Who is behind the rise of violent crime? Who on earth actually loads a gun and brings it to town and kills a man? What sort of deluded, detached, thug lives in that universe? How many of these cold, ruthless animals exist in NZ?
Crime worries us, and gangs can intimidate us, so are t...
Razor Robertson has been over to Japan to meet with Richie Mo'unga...he wants him back! He's currently on a $2m+ contract in Japan, and we've now realised we're buggered in the first five department. Change the eligibility rules I say! But how'd NZRU stuff up negotiations with Mo'unga so badly in the first place?

The shooting in Ponsonby on Sunday night wreaks of something in downtown LA...but this is Auckland, New Zealand. Who does that? But this is now normal. These gangs and their thugs have been exported from Australia and this is how they deal with things. They're ruthless, have no moral compass, and are deluded. There's no room for bail with these idiots. Let's get on with it.

He's the man in the pink jandals, and he's well and truly in your corner...or their corner anyway. I'm chatting with former boxer, no trainer, Isaac Peach. He's got a high profile stable of West Auckland fighters that are taking the boxing world by storm. Peach Boxing is the home of world champ Mea Motu.
So, how do you train and become a World Champ from a garage in West Auckland? What is Isaac Peach doing different to other gyms?...
The red tape around building in this country is keeping us out of pocket, slowing us down, choking our families, and choking our economy. We look like snails in comparison to Australia - it took under 6 months for me to build a house in Australia, whereas here, on average it takes 600 days, almost 2 years! No wonder it costs twice as much here as it does there...
It's not about removing safety measures, it's about removing the un...
Rugby is our "national game". Personally, I love it. I've grown up playing the game, watching it, and my son plays now too. But there's something not quite right at the moment...

Craig Luxton is a former rep rugby player here and o...
Erica Stanford, the new Education Minister, is promising a massive shake up of our education system. Aside from the banning of cellphones which is, well, by the bye, Stanford promises a new curriculum that's explicit, smarter reporting, stronger learning support, use of clear data, and much more.
This interview will rock you to your core. If you are a parent and don't feel this, there's something wrong.
Along with this, I've go...

But how much is too much to borrow, and what levers can you pull when your mortgage ...
