The IPCA released a scathing review laying out out a chain of senior-level failures around the McSkimming scandal. The question now is whether the public can have any confidence in the police in general and in its leadership. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Police Minister Mark Mitchell says trust needs to be regained after the Independent Police Conduct Authority found there were "significant failings" in the way police responded to complaints about former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming. . Q+A asked him why allegations weren't raised in his office earlier and whether there were wider structural issues at play. . Mitchell spoke of a “corrupt Police executive" in the interview, then later walked back on his comments. . He said in a statement: “Regarding my comments on corruption, I acknowledge that the IPCA report did not use the words corrupt or corruption and on reflection I misspoke. Like most New Zealanders, I am personally disgusted by the behaviour highlighted in the IPCA report.” . The IPCA report did find that in handling complaints McSkimming, Police bypassed standard processes. Although they didn't find evidence of collusion, they did find senior officers — including the former Commissioner — attempted to rush investigations to help McSkimming's application for commissioner and failed to recognise the inappropriateness of their actions. . 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.

Gene sits down with Marc Mitchell from Rasmussen Reports to break down the latest polling data on Donald Trump. They discuss what's driving Trump's rise in the polls, how public sentiment is shifting across key voter groups, and what these trends could mean for the upcoming election. Don't miss this in-depth analysis straight from one of America's most trusted polling sources.
Steve Gruber is joined by Mark Mitchell, Head Pollster at Rasmussen Reports, for a deep dive into the latest polling numbers and what they reveal about America's political pulse. From New York's shocking turn toward socialism with Mamdani's election to the growing disconnect between Republicans and younger voters, Mitchell warns that it's time for conservatives to wake up and get serious about reforming government. The two also discuss what Donald Trump must do to re-energize his base and capture the next generation's attention before it's too late.
A shocking report by the Independent Police Conduct Authority has revealed a litany of serious failings in the handling of complaints relating to the disgraced former deputy commissioner Jevon McSkimming. Not only were the complaints from a former lover diverted from the appropriate channels by senior leaders including former police boss Andrew Coster, the woman involved was arrested and prosecuted for harmful digital communications. The new commissioner and the police minister insist that it is a failure of a small group of senior leaders – “bad apples”, as Mark Mitchell put it – rather than something systemic or cultural. But, ask Annabelle Lee-Mather, Ben Thomas and Toby Manhire, almost 20 years after the damning Margaret Bazley report that followed the Louise Nicholas case, is that explanation good enough? Plus: Parliament has two newly independent MPs, following the Te Pāti Māori National Council expelling Mariameno Kapa-Kingi and Takuta Ferris “for breaches of Kawa (the Party's constitution)”. As the implosion in the party deepens, a number of questions remain unanswered. Christopher Luxon and Winston Peters are exchanging blows over asset sales – is this a fracture in the coalition, an exercise in nostalgia, or two bald men (apologies Mr Peters, this is very much a metaphor) fighting over a comb? And changes to the Zero Carbon Act were announced with zero fanfare – what does it mean for New Zealand climate action and Paris commitments? Learn more about your ad choices.

It seemed like a thing, until it wasn't. Guns are like fluoride and the MSM – they get people angsty. Out of the Christchurch mosque attack came the idea that gun law needed amending. The amending got another look when ACT came to power because they are libertarians and people with, broadly speaking, a common-sense view of the world. The idea that the more you restrict weaponry the less likely you are to have a massacre is, of course, nonsense. Like so many things the Ardern and Hipkins era was responsible for, real world policy for real world behaviour wasn't one of them. Nutters get guns. The fact Brenton Tarrant got his legally didn't change the equation, and that's before you get to the bit that this is not a country of hot-head crazies with a long list of violent massacres. It's true that we have a lot of guns per head of population. But that reflects our outdoors and rural lifestyles, as opposed to an American-type view of defending yourself. Anyway, Nicole McKee, straight from the gun side of the equation, was going to have a look and from that came the expectation that some sort of major liberalisation was coming. But it was not to be. Yesterday was more dabble than revolution. The fact McKee and ACT have invoked the agree to disagree is either a sign of political maturity, seething anger, or possibly both. If you listened to Mark Mitchell around the Police's role and the Firearm Safety Authority, National were never budging. There is some stuff there about 3D printing, which makes sense. But overall, it puts this whole exercise into the category of a review, not an overhaul. I personally never thought a loosening of access to these so-called "mass weapons" was a major, but I get a lot of people would have. In a way it's a good example of the disconnect between the country and city. The city would be aghast because the city doesn't use guns or get it. Most gun owners are regular people, burdened by the irregular thinking of the Arderns, who wouldn't know one end of a gun from the other. McKee was from the other side of the argument but ultimately lost. So carry on then. The angst was wasted. Nothing to see here. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A damning report into the handling of complaints against Jevon McSkimming reveals interference and cover-ups during the "Commissioner-appointment" process. The former Deputy Police Commissioner is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices. A watchdog report finds some of the nation's highest ranking officers ignored a young woman's anonymous complaints against McSkimming and prosecuted her for harassment. Gagging orders were put in place to ostensibly protect the reputation of McSkimming - who was a top candidate to replace outgoing Police Commissioner Andrew Coster. It has been revealed that emails regarding the subject were also sent to the office of Police Minister Mark Mitchell, but he was blocked from seeing them. “They put a protocol in place whereby I was not to have visibility on it, or any of my political staff, and they were going to be handled by PNHQ,” he told Mike Hosking. “So I had no visibility on any emails that I received, you know, that came through my office.” When asked who is the bigger criminal in this case, McSkimming for his behaviour or Costa for covering it up, Mitchell told Hosking they're as bad as each other. "It's atrocious behaviour,” he said. “They have put the rest of our outstanding police officers in an awful position – who turn up every day and quite simply do outstanding work.” The concern for Labour's Ginny Andersen is the impact this situation will have on public trust and confidence in the Police. “New Zealanders should have every confidence that if they take a complaint to the Police, that it is investigated fully,” she told Hosking. “It does erode public trust and confidence that taking a complaint forward will be taken seriously and investigated.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Police Minister says he's pleased former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming's pleaded guilty to having child exploitation and bestiality images on work devices. He admitted to three representative charges in Wellington District Court this afternoon. Court documents reveal the 52-year-old made thousands of Google searches, many seeking AI-generated or cartoon images. Police Minister Mark Mitchell says this result shows no-one's above the law - but this behaviour reflects poorly on the police. "For every one officer - and it's a big organisation, so you're always going to have some people that don't uphold the standards. But most of our police officers do, they're out there every day, they're doing tens of thousands of positive acts." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was a bad showing for Republicans in last night's elections. Democrats had a full sweepin Virginia as Abigail Spanberger won the gubernatorial election, bringing Jay Jones as Attorney General and Ghazala Hashmi as Virginia's Lieutenant Governor. Democrat Mikie Sherrill won in New Jersey and Socialist Zohran Mamdani is now Mayor-elect in New York City. At day 36, we are now in the longest government shutdown in history as President Trump urges Republicans to use the 'nuclear' option. Mark Mitchell is on today's show to unpack the undertones of American society and what happened at the ballot box. As the Republican party frays over personalities like Nick Fuentes, the Democrats have unified in their messaging and assemblance. While their policies have created a situation like New York, while 64% percent foreign-born New Yorkers voted for Mamdani, what lies beneath is much more frightening. While Capitalism has created the richest nation in history, it has also created tremendous wealth disparities and no one feels this more than Gen-Z. Zoomers that voted for Donald Trump were only spilt 44% - 43% on Socialism. Gen-z sees an unaffordable future, a battle of the sexes, and high incidents of mental health. They look at a system that has failed them and have a 'burn it all down' attitude. Democratic-Socialism is appealing to younger voters and Zohran Mamdani is the embodiment of this. Therefore, it is up to Republicans to coalesce with substantive messaging and strong leadership that can carry us into the future.

The Police Minister says he has more pressing priorities than the enforcement of a law banning smoking or vaping in cars with children. Last year, Newstalk ZB revealed Police never updated systems so officers could issue fines and had no plans to. Police say the systems remain the same fourteen months on, and no fines have been issued. Mark Mitchell told Ryan Bridge this is an operational issue for Police, and he's focused on other things. He says his priority is getting on top of aggravated robberies and other violent crime. Mitchell says Police have been very clear they prefer to educate parents rather than fine them, and he supports that approach. He says despite this, the legislation remains, and they're still working on a system to action it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A month ago to this very day, Heart of the City, the business association for Auckland City Centre, released a scathing report that found store owners and offices believed homelessness, too few police, neglect and disorder, and frightening anti-social behaviour were crippling their businesses. Amongst the most dire findings was 91% of those surveyed saying rough sleepers and begging were affecting their business. 81% believed the city centre was not in a good state to attract significantly more people and investment. The findings came from 102 business owners in and around the Queen Street valley area in late September who were asked about the state of the city centre and what factors were hindering their financial success. This isn't news. There have been problems with rough sleepers for years now. But the business owners I've talked to in Queen Street say although there was always the odd person around before Covid, it was when Labour turned the inner-city hotels and motels into emergency housing during Covid that things became absolutely dire. Because when everything was freed up, the people stayed. They'd made a home there, they'd found a home there, they weren't going to be moved on, they'd found their people. In Ponsonby, when I was living there, there were about three or four characters, men and women, who were either sleeping rough or living in halfway houses. But they were part of the community. You knew them by name, you greeted them. They were they were different. They were odd, but that was okay. We're all different and odd at different times and perhaps not quite as odd as these ones, but they were there first, and they were part of the community. And I think we all do have empathy for those who are doing it tough or are going through a tough period in their life or who are just wired a little bit differently. But when you are swamped with people in need, when you are one district, one area that is overrun with people who are odd, who are wired differently, who don't behave as you would imagine civilised humans would behave, who quite literally crap on your empathy, inevitably you will start to take a tougher stance. And I think that's what's happened to the store owners and retailers in Queen Street. It's back in the news again. As I said, homelessness is seldom far from it because Labour has suggested that the Government is looking at introducing a ban on rough sleepers in the city. Well, as Chief Executive of Heart of the City Viv Beck told Mike Hosking this morning, bring it on, something needs to change. VB: What I'm seeing is we need a game changer. We can't just keep moving people around. As long as there were really good solutions for vulnerable people, I think a majority of the people that we represent would support a scenario where you don't lie on streets or you house people. MH: I don't know if you were watching Parliament yesterday, but they seem squeamish about it. Why don't we just be a bit blunt about it? And the cold hard truth of homelessness is that it ruins central cities, and we need to clean it up and clear it out. I mean, it's that simple, isn't it? VB: I believe so. And what's been really pleasing in the last four weeks is that there has been constructive debate and people are recognising these are real issues. We need to be bold about this. We do have to care for people. We've got a track record of caring for people. The reality is though, we cannot leave it the way it is. It does need a game change and I really hope the politics don't sabotage a really important issue that needs resolving. Oh, I think it probably will. Politics generally does, especially when there's an election looming. I was listening to Ginny Anderson and Mark Mitchell this morning, on the Mike Hosking Breakfast. Ginny said, "Well, where are they going to go? People don't want the homeless outside schools or their homes." Well, no, they don't, but they also don't want them outside their bloody businesses either. Hairdressers and cafe owners and accountants and clothing retailers and the like in Queen Street have had enough of looking after them. And I don't think many of the retailers would have a problem with rough sleepers if that's all they were doing. Looking for a warm, safe, dry place to sleep, then packing up and moving on. It's the detritus and the bodily fluids and the aggressive, pugnacious attitudes that most retailers have the problem with. Sleep in the doorway, but it's the associated issues that come with it that are the real issue, the real problem. We have got people out of motels. There are no children on the streets, and that's got to be a good thing. There are places, as Mark Mitchell referred to, for people to go. It's the associated issues, the problems that they have that mean they don't feel either safe staying there, they don't want to stay there, they don't feel comfortable being within four walls, they're quite claustrophobic, especially those that have done time. It is a huge issue, way beyond just putting a roof over heads. If only that billion dollars into mental health had actually done some work. So, I don't blame the retailers for saying, okay, make a law, move them on. At least if they are in communities, 24/7 communities, not retail areas, they might become part of the community. They're dispersed throughout the community. You can adopt a homeless person, a bit like it was in Ponsonby back in the day. I don't know what the answer is. I really don't. With so much money going into mental health, it doesn't seem to be affecting the very people that you would hope would be benefiting from that massive contribution of taxpayer money. Those who are living on the edge, those who are wired differently, those who do need extra help, and those who are making it almost impossible to run a business in the central city.

Political polling and punditry often go hand in hand; however, polls can be structured to bring forth reactions sought by funders of the polls. This can lead to propagandized messaging and an inaccurate understanding of people's true opinions. While polling can never be perfect, the best pollsters will dig deeper in questioning to discover truth, not just answers to support a preferred narrative. In this episode, Linda interviews Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen Reports. Mark's extensive and diverse military and business career provides unique insights into structuring polls for maximum accuracy.

Stigall is seeing many "inside our tent" suggesting everything from Israel is to blame for the struggles of Palestinians to the Trump administration is covering up Epstein, etc. Prominent names, too. And some polling like Rasmussen suggest it's starting to take a toll on a President who, by all accounts has had massive successes in his first few months. So why are those who backed him now seemingly unrelenting, impatient, and in some cases dishonest about what's happening now? Simple answer - it's just business. Mark Mitchell is Rasmussen's head pollster and joins the show to discuss Trump polling and where things go from here.

Does it matter that Americans don't share "a common set of facts?" On its face it might seem problematic, but there's a different way to interpret it. More economic winning, despite the Fed's unwillingness to help yesterday.
