Dr Claire Achmad was given around five weeks' notice that she would be exiting her role of Children's Commissioner. First appointed to a five-year term to advocate for young people in New Zealand, that became a one-year term in 2025, and when she signed off on Friday July 31st, she left office two years earlier than she'd expected. She says that she has been a "fair and balanced critic" of Government policy when it comes to child poverty, and that she has not been told by the Minister for Social Development, Louise Upston, why she wasn't brought back. Dr Achmad sat down with Jack Tame in her final week in the role. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.

Spy allegations: NZ's relationship with Russia in focus Russia's principal security service says a Russian citizen has been detained in the country's far East. The man is accused of spying for New Zealand's SIS. Jack Tame sits down with Russia's Ambassador Stanislav Krans at the Russian Embassy in Wellington to ask more about the case. And nearly four and a half years into the military invasion of Ukraine, and following 35 rounds of New Zealand sanctions against Russia, he asks about the relationship between Russia and New Zealand. Most people want fewer cars, Dutch academic says Twenty years from now, people will look back on high speed limits we have in cities now and find them just as unbelievable as smoking indoors - a relic of the past.

"Discriminatory" law focus of Green MP's bill Migrant families can be split apart when family members are denied visas on the basis that their disability would be a burden to New Zealand's health system, a Green MP says.

One of the main concerns Kiwis have when planning out their retirements is the cost of getting old – especially when it comes to healthcare. Ed McKnight runs through a couple of the key things you need to take into consideration when it comes to health after retiring. Public is free, but you pay the price of waiting Over 36% of patients have waited more than four months for surgery The Government's target is 5%, which is why two-thirds of elective surgery in NZ now happens in private facilities (some of that is publicly funded). People wildly underestimate what private costs Most Kiwis think a hip replacement is under $10,000. It's about $27,700–$33,100. Prostate cancer surgery runs around $26,700–$32,300 and breast cancer surgery is around $9,400–$31,100. Ultimately, it's about quality of life. One Auckland man was quoted $165,000 for back surgery, couldn't pay, and sat at home on nine pain prescriptions until the public system took him. Insurance fixes that, but the premium quadruples by 65 Health insurance for a non-smoking office worker is about $170 a month at 35, but it's about $676 at 65. By 75 you're nearing $1,000 a month — over $100,000 across that decade. Over-65s claim more than three times what 35–49-year-olds do.

We're often told to shop local, but not all stores claiming to be NZ owned actually are. A website with the name My Tamariki, says it sells products that support everyday family life in New Zealand. However the business address is based in Hong Kong. According to reviewers on Facebook and Trust Pilot, the products it sells are also available on sites like Ali Express. So how can we make sure we're supporting local and not getting ripped off? Consumer's Chief Executive Jon Duffy spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

 In this episode, sponsored by Autex Acoustics, we talk with Tamara White from Warren and Mahoney (WAM), whose work spans creating environments that support human performance, connection, and healthier futures. We discuss how designers are redefining what sustainable spaces look and feel like — and what that means for the people using them.” Our theme is on how can architects and designers create spaces that are not only environmentally sustainable, but actively support human health, wellbeing, performance, and connection? This conversation also explores the evolving relationship between sustainability and wellbeing across workplace, airport, and hospitality design and will examine how designers are responding to changing expectations around equity, flexibility, resilience, and the human experience. This podcast is brought to you in association with Autex Acoustics, proud sponsors of our 2026 Sustainability series of podcasts.

Justine Smith has been a fixture of New Zealand comedy for more than 30 years - a Seven Days regular and one of the few women who lasted in a room that pushed most others out.She opens up on the comedy environment younger women were up against, the treatment she swallowed to keep going, and how she turned that guilt into becoming the person the next generation of female comics now comes to. She's also very funny about the rest of it - falling into comedy almost by accident, the terror of her first gig, and three decades of standing in front of a crowd talking about herself for a living.And she tells the remarkable story of her own beginning: adopted as a baby, and reunited with her sister through a single phone call that almost didn't happen.Between Two Beers is proudly brought to you by One New Zealand.

What does Mark McCrindle know about 2050 that the rest of us don’t? The futurist and social researcher explains our changing world, and what’s next for our family units, working lives, social norms, and wealth. Mark outlines emerging trends around AI pessimism and screentime backlash, and the skills we’ll need in the decades to come. We explore how house prices have under-35s looking for assets beyond property, and why that carries real long-term risk. Hear how parents and grandparents are "giving with warm hands," passing on their wealth within their lifetimes, and how multigenerational households are losing their stigma. And how Gen X has become the "sandwich generation," absorbing costs from aging parents and adult children. Plus, why the next global challenge won't be overpopulation, but the opposite: a shrinking world.

Why are younger investors embracing ETFs while older generations are more likely to have built wealth through property? In this bite from Shared Lunch, Smart's Tom Bentley explains how rising house prices, changing demographics, and easier access to investing are reshaping the way people build wealth.

Two things you'll find in Golden Bay are horopito and takahe, and they're two things that father daughter duo Peter and Lucy Butler have put together. Peter Butler transitioned from a failing organic kiwifruit orchard to successfully farming the native horopito plant. He's also behind Health Post - New Zealand's largest natural health and wellness store - which is 100% NZ family-owned - founded by his late wife, Linley. It runs on the principle you shouldn't profit from people's ill health, and ultimately led to the establishment of HealthPost Nature Trust. Together with his daughter Lucy Butler, they have recently released takahe onto the Onetahua Farewell Spit, after their team to put up an impressive predator-proof fence. The father-daughter duo join Paddy.
