Podcast appearances and mentions of Justice minister

For our monthly catch up with the National Party, Rosetta and Milly chat with Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith about the recently announced move-on orders for rough sleepers and anti-social behaviour in city centres; who the policy will effect, where rough sleepers will be moved on to, and the impact the orders will have on police resourcing. Whakarongo mai nei!

On Sunday the Government announced a plan to grant police the power to issue move-on orders to help deal with disorderly and dangerous behaviour in public places. The move-on orders apply to anyone displaying disorderly or intimidating behaviour, impeding someone entering a business, breaching the peace, begging, rough sleeping, and behaviour indicating an intent to inhabit a public place. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith joined Tim Beveridge to chat about what this announcement means in reality. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government is proposing a law which would allow Police to order someone rough sleeping or begging, to leave a public space for up to 24 hours. They could be fined up to two thousand dollars or three months in jail if they don't. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith joins Andrew Dickens. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government has ditched the idea of a referendum on a four year electoral term this election. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says a bill has been taken to select committee as part of coalition agreements. But he says to have a referendum would require passing the bill through the rest of the stages in enough time before the election. Goldsmith says the Government can't do everything at once, and taking care of more pressing issues, like crime, is more important at this stage.

Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party plans to recommend former Justice Minister Eisuke Mori as speaker of the House of Representatives, the lower chamber of the Diet, the country's parliament, senior LDP officials said Friday.

Keith Walsh, Family law solicitor at Keith Walsh Solicitors, joined Sean off the back of the announcement from the Justice Minister that the government is to introduce a ‘child maintenance calculator' to help couples make DIY agreements. But what does this mean and will it help the often complicated task of try sorting out child maintenance.

The Justice Minister says his retail crime advisory group has been successful and productive. It'll been cut short, ending in May - not the planned September - after three members resigned last month. It leaves just two members, chair and dairy owner Sunny Kaushal and liquor retailer, Ash Parmar. Paul Goldsmith says he could have appointed more people for the next six months or wrapped it up early. "The simpler thing to do was say - look, you've got a couple of things you need to finish, you've got three months to do that and then we'll go off on our merry way. The Government's got lots of ideas to work with." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's no evidence retail crime has fallen, despite claims the Government's Retail Crime Advisory Group delivered more change than ever before. The Justice Minister has confirmed the group will be disbanded early, months ahead of schedule, after several members resigned. Chair Sunny Kaushal says he doesn't think there is any other Ministerial advisory group that's delivered eight key reforms in two years. But Retail NZ CEO and former group member Carolyn Young told Ryan Bridge it's an election year, he's a politician and he wants votes. She says people must focus on what's headline news and what's actual news, to see what's been put in place and has actually made a difference.

The Taoiseach has conceded that the trial of five members of An Garda Síochána, including two with strong connections to Clare, had a "severe negative impact" on the careers of those involved as well as on garda morale. Micheál Martin has pledged to speak to the Justice Minister about the case of a retired superintendent and four senior gardaí who have this week been found not guilty of perverting the court of justice. The charges were in relation to alleged attempts to terminate tickets for road traffic offences. Responding to Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe in the Dáil, who's demanded an apology for the Garda Commissioner, the Taoiseach says a review "needs to happen" to examine the implications of the case.

The Justice Minister's dismissing suggestions there's an issue within the Ministerial Advisory Group for victims of retail crime amid resignations. Three of the five members have resigned in recent weeks including Michael Bell, Lindsay Rowles, and Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young. Young says her relationship with its chairman Sunny Kaushal became untenable. Kaushal's refused an interview but says it's well known himself and Young have different views on the group's recommendations. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking it's a total beat-up. He says the group's been very productive with two of the five promoted into higher jobs, with one member not happy. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Justice Minister Abubakar Malami Begs Nigerians For Justicehttps://osazuwaakonedo.news/former-justice-minister-abubakar-malami-begs-nigerians-for-justice/#Issues #Buhari #Dasuki #Dss #EFCC #Kanu #Malami #Sowore January 24th, 2026 January 24, 2026 11:53 pm Abubakar Malami, a former Minister of Justice and Attorney General of the Federation who was in office from November 2015 till May 2023 when the then President Muhammadu Buhari completed his eight years tenure in office, under which, Courts of competent jurisdiction granted several detained Nigerians bail but the Buhari government refused to release them and even rearrested some of them after they had perfected their bail conditions, the then Minister of Justice, Abubakar Malami who was saddled with the responsibility of protecting citizens' rights, came out openly and apparently justified the violations of court orders by the then Buhari led government, and during the administration of President Muhammadu Buhari, Abubakar Malami, frequently defended the actions of the government's refusal to obey courts orders of bail granted to high profile individuals by asserting that national security and public interest superseded individual rights, some of the high profile individuals included Colonel Sambo Dasuki, the former National Security Adviser in the era of President Goodluck Ebele Jonathan who was held for four years from December 2015 to December 2019, despite being granted bail by at least four different Nigerian high courts and the ECOWAS Court, he was repeatedly re-arrested by the Department of State Services, DSS immediately after fulfilling bail conditions, Sheikh Ibrahim El-Zakzaky and his wife Zeenah, detained from December 2015 until they were released in July 2021 were refused bail after Federal court declared their detention illegal in 2016 and ordered their release by January 2017, but the government under which Abubakar Malami was a Justice Minister did not comply, until they were eventually acquitted of all charges by a Kaduna State High Court in 2021, also, Omoyele Sowore, an activist and a Journalist who is the founder of SaharaReporters news media remained in DSS custody for several months in 2019 despite fulfilling bail conditions set by Justice Ijeoma Ojukwu, he was re-arrested within the courtroom just 24 hours after a temporary release,Nnamdi Kanu, the convicted and jailed Indigenous People of Biafra, IPOB Leader was refused bail during his initial trial in 2015, President Buhari then publicly stated during a media chat that Kanu among others would not be allowed to go on bail due to the nature of their alleged crimes, despite court rulings, in addition, was Navy Captain Dada Labinjo who was detained by the Nigeria Military from September 2018 until at least late 2019, despite a Federal High Court order for his release and during these periods, Abubakar Malami provided several justifications for these detentions, most notably during his 2019 ministerial screening: Malami stated that the office of the AGF is meant to protect the public interest, and "where the individual interest conflicts with the public interest, the interest of 180 million Nigerians must naturally prevail", he cited the Supreme Court case of Asari Dokubo versus Federal Republic of Nigeria, arguing, it established that national security could supersede personal liberty in specific contexts and when Dasuki and Sowore were finally released in December 2019, Malami claimed the government did so on "compassionate grounds" and in compliance with court orders, while denying that international pressure from the United States, US influenced the decision, currently, the then apparent defender and justifier of government disobedient to court orders, is now calling on Nigerians and begging them to help him get justice since the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, EFCC kept him in custody against court order that he had said earlier granted him bail and after perfecting his bail conditions, he was rearrested by the DSS and since he has remained in detention. #OsazuwaAkonedoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/osazuwaakonedo--4980924/support.Kindly support us for more productivity and efficiency in news delivery.Visit our donation page: DonateYou can also use our Mobile app for more news in different formats: CLICK TO DOWNDLOAD ON GOOGLE PLAY STORE
