Banks are sounding the alarm over a new kind of subscription trap. Instead of a typical ‘forgot to cancel scenario', businesses are instead selling goods and services that hook customers into reoccurring subscription payments. Westpac says it's stopped nearly 20,000 customers from being fleeced in the past three months, stopping more than $25 million in unwanted charges. Massey University banking expert Claire Matthews told Mike Hosking that the problem with this type of situation is it's difficult to cancel the subscription. Some companies, she says, straight up disappear when people try to cancel, so it's easier to stop the payment upfront. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government plans to shred around half a million books which include the Bible, the Qur'an, and the Torah, to save on storage costs. Massey University Professor Emeritus of Religion Peter Lineham told Heather de Plessis-Allan religious texts should be offered to the relevant communities.

Recently, Science and Technology Minister, Shane Reti, announced New Zealand's first-ever artificial intelligence, or AI, strategy. With this, Aotearoa becomes the last country in the OECD to establish guidelines around the use of AI. Despite the establishment of this strategy, which is aimed at enticing the private sector to incorporate and invest in AI, there are concerns that the strategy does not introduce any new legislation to regulate AI, rather using already existing legislation, and fails to address ethical concerns.

Net migration is expected to stay low, with global affairs keeping many people where they are. Stats NZ data shows there was a net migration gain of only 26 thousand in the year to March, down from more than 100 thousand the year before. It says the fall is mainly due to fewer migrant couples arriving, with a slight increase in departures. Massey University Sociologist Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking a big question mark hovers around the migration figures.
