A legal battle has swayed in media's favour - now allowed to report child sex exploitation and bestiality imagery were allegedly discovered on work devices of former Police Deputy Commissioner, Jevon McSkimming. They were allegedly found while he was under a separate criminal investigation, the details of which can't be legally reported. He resigned suddenly in May after being suspended on full pay since December. The Herald's Jared Savage told Ryan Bridge details had to be kept secret after McSkimming's lawyer filed an urgent application in the High Court. He says media organisations banded together to successfully challenge the injunction stopping reporting on the nature of the material.

The Trump tariffs are inching closer and closer towards becoming a reality. While they were meant to kick into gear last week, they've been delayed again – this time to August 1. Despite being accused of “chickening out”, Donald Trump has reignited the tariff talk through a series of letters and social media posts – announcing new duties on dozens of countries, if they don’t sign trade deals. In the months since ‘Liberation Day’, only two countries have signed agreements with the US – so is it likely that dozens more will be signed in the next month? Or are we firmly in an era of tit for tat tariff wars, and economic uncertainty?

Over the last decade, as New Zealand has grappled with a housing crisis, golf courses have become a lightning rod for controversy. Auckland Council alone owns or manages 13 golf courses across the Super City, and many campaigners have targeted these sites as being prime land for housing. Though, as with any major project, there are plenty of loud voices on the other side of the debate. The recent controversy to hit the green has nothing to do with housing, but instead wetlands, flooding, and the Takapuna Golf Course.
