The government has strengthened its proposed anti-stalking legislation, so a person could be convicted after two specified acts within two years, with a maximum penalty of five years imprisonment. Justice minister Paul Goldsmith spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Yesterday Nick was invited by Arts, Culture and Heritage minister Paul Goldsmith to tour the Wellington Town Hall project - the $329m project funded by the Wellington City Council to bring the city's hall back to its former glory. The town hall was also be home to the National Music Centre, housed in the basement of the hall underneath the stage. While the redevelopment of the hall is funded by the council, the National Music Centre has been jointly funded by the NZ Symphony Orchestra, Victoria University, Wellington City Council and the government. While there, Nick spoke to Goldsmith and new NZSO chief executive Marc Feldman. LISTEN AND WATCH ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Justice Minister says reinstating a total ban on prisoner voting is not likely to change the outcome of elections. The proposal would reverse changes introduced in 2020 allowing prisoners serving sentences of less than three years to vote. People detained on remand or serving sentences of home detention will still be able to vote. Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking the number of votes coming out of prisons is not enough to sway a result. He says it's about sending a signal to people who breach the rights and responsibilities of living in society. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The government says it's doing so well in lowering violent crime that it's surpassing its own best-case-scenario targets. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith spoke to Corin Dann.

The Government hopes victim figures will continue on a downward trend as new legislation takes effect. The Justice Minister expects the data to remain volatile and says more work is still needed. Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking the three strikes and tougher sentencing laws will kick in from June. He says the best place to start is the small group of New Zealanders creating multiple victims.

An invaluable tool to prevent retail crime or an invasion of privacy that can be used to track you without your consent? Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith wants to allow the use of facial recognition technology in the fight against retail crime, despite acknowledging 'tensions' with people's right to privacy. Retail NZ CEO Carolyn Young explains how this technology gathers data to prevent retail crime - as well as the risks that come with this method.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Donald Trump: 1/10 Complete and utter chaotic clown. You don't treat the world economy like this. Clowns: 2/10 In order: Scott Bessent, Howard Lutnick, Pete Hegseth, and Karoline Leavitt. The IRD: 6/10 Collected close to a billion dollars in unpaid tax, simply by looking – quite a good concept! Paul Goldsmith: 6/10 Is it ingenious or worrying when you're asking the Mike Hosking Breakfast for policy ideas? Wool: 8/10 Wool deserves a break. In pure economic terms I'm not sure this is on the Government to spin the line, far less the yarn. But it's Winston's baby and he's 80-years-old today so, why not? Andrew Little: 6/10 Is he the answer for Wellington, or a retired politician looking for work?

The Justice Minister says he's hunting for a solution to make sure victims of crime get their reparations. Figures released under the Official Information Act show almost half of all court-ordered reparation payments are overdue – $105 million owed to victims. Paul Goldsmith says there's scope for taking it out of people's benefits. He told Mike Hosking while they don't want to send people to prison, there needs to be an incentive to pay. Goldsmith says he's looking for an annoying and painful punishment that will make criminals pay up. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Justice Minister says the Government is still fleshing out some sentencing details as new rules pass through Parliament. Legislation passed today caps judges' sentence discounts at 40 percent. It also encourages cumulative sentencing for offences done on bail, in custody, or on parole. Minister Paul Goldsmith says it sends a bad signal if sentences aren't added together. "We haven't gone so far as legislating that that should always happen every time at this stage, because it does have very, very significant impacts on our prison populations - and our ability to cope with it."

Now I'm a bit of a policy wonk. I don't care which party it is. If they come up with a policy, I like to break it down and see if it makes sense. Now I know politicians are addicted to announcements, attention and media coverage. Which means they sometimes say the first thing in their heads that sound like they'll get votes. No matter if it's deliverable or not. Labour had a bad case of it. Phil Twyford and his 100 thousand Kiwibuild fantasy. Michael Wood was the champion. Based on five minutes on the back of an envelope he announced a nearly $900 million bike bridge. Faced with backlash from Dominion Road businesses he stuck the light rail project underground. Tripling the price to an unaffordable $18 billion dollars. Now it seems like the National led coalition has a case of the same disease. Paul Goldsmith has it bad. This week he announced a change to citizen's arrest rules but had no idea of what the changes are going to be. Classic announcement of an announcement. But the king of wishful thinking is the prince of the provinces, Shane Jones. First, he proposed a special economic zone for Marsden point begging the question why not turn the whole country into a special economic zone. The whole place needs a hand. Then he proposed repairing Marsden point refinery. A fanciful idea that was shot down in hours as the enormous cost of nearly $8 billion dollars came to light. The reason why no Government has repaired the refinery ever since it was sold 40 years ago. The thing about leadership is that you need to make adult decisions and proposals. If you're a cabinet minister you can't just let the first Walter Mitty like thought bubble pop out of your mouth, when you know there's nothing there. That's the lesson Labour learnt last term. Hopefully the Government figures that out soon. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The trick, and we fail it virtually every time, is not to get bogged down in the minutiae. There aren't prizes for coming up with dumb scenarios to try and catch the idea out. Amending the law to allow greater use of locals to grab a scumbag and hold them till the coppers arise is a good, and welcome, idea. If the Government is making tangible and positive progress anywhere, it's on the crime front. More people are in jail, more people are being rounded up, more of us feel safe, the police feel better about doing their job, or being allowed to do their job, and the citizens arrest news is merely adding to that progress. Coming up with scenarios about criminals bringing bigger weapons to robberies won't happen, the same way we haven't seen the gangs give the bird to the coppers over patches. At the Prime Minister's press conference this week with Paul Goldsmith, Mark Mitchell, and Commissioner Richard Chambers, they were asked about there being more gang members, with the inference being the law is failing. Yes, said Richard Chambers, there are more members because we are putting more groups on the register. And arrests aren't going up commensurately because gangs aren't flouting the law and retail thugs won't flout this one either. Thugs are cowards and opportunists. They try it on because they know they can. The moment they know a guard in a supermarket can jump on top of them they won't bother, the same way they tried to get work when the traffic light system came in for Jobseeker. Bottom feeders are essentially lazy. If it's easy, they'll abuse it or nick it. If you crack down the game's up and they will give up. This sort of thing should be welcomed. This is what we wanted. Memories can't be so short that we have forgotten the madness that filled our streets just a year or so back. The ram raids, the gangs, the blocked roads with their intimidation, the non-existent police to round them up, the endless criminals on ankle bracelets reoffending - we hated that! We got furious at that. A year and a bit later the change has happened, and the statistics have turned. Let's not get bogged down in a petty game of "but what if".See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Government hopes criminals will be deterred as it proposes loosening restrictions on citizen's arrests. It would mean businesses could arrest and detain people stealing at any hour, and use reasonable force. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says this doesn't mean people can't tackle others or force them to the ground - but they will be able to directly intervene. "The definition of reasonable force is something that the courts will work their way through - but yes, holding on to somebody's arm and stopping them from getting away is reasonable."

The Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith is expected to make an announcement on Wednesday increasing citizen's arrest powers. Goldsmith spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Dealing with retail crime could be about to get easier. Incoming new Government measures are expected to address the possibility of citizen's arrests and make it clearer how people can protect their properties. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith told Mike Hosking a government advisory group has been working very hard on recommendations and next steps, which will be confirmed later today. It comes as new data shows overall retail crime increased 12%, however ram raids halved last year, and violent crime dropped 2%. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Wednesday 26th of February, violent crime is down for the first time since 2018, much to the pleasure of the Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith. The Government is making an announcement today, loosening the citizen's arrest laws. So would you, if you could? Or is it a recipe for disaster? Ginny Andersen and Mark Mitchell debate policing strategies and Andrew Bayly on Politics Wednesday.

So it looks like, on paper at least, that this is a big win for the Government's crackdown on crime. Violent crime is down for the first time in five years - sure, it's only by two percent, but at least it's not going up. 2019 - up. 2020 - up. 2021, 2022, 2023 - up, up up. 2024 - down. And over those five years of increase, violence went up 51 percent. You basically had to just walk down the street and you'd get punched in the eye. Mark Mitchell and Paul Goldsmith have fired off press releases quicker than a Chinese warship in the Tasman about this, they're crowing and beating their chests, they're very happy. And you can see why - serious assaults have come down, injuries have reduced, ram raids are down massively, total victimisations are down as well. And here's the kicker - guess what else has changed at the same time? The prison population has just hit its highest level since 2018. Police foot patrols are up 40 percent. So it's almost like - if more bad people are in prison, they're not punching us in the streets. I know, completely unbelievable. And who would have thought police patrolling the streets might actually prevent crime? This is, of course, not radical stuff. It's basic stuff. And on these numbers, the Government finally has something tangible to be proud of. But - and there's always a but with these stats - retail theft is up 12 percent. People are still walking into shops with their tote bags and taking stuff. And then there's the stats themselves - this survey that they're using here covers a 24 month window, so it's not a crystal-clear picture that we're getting. Plus, the violence numbers that they're looking at come from a mish-mash of police data via Twitter, of all places. This is from the Government release. So we can expect some blowback from Labour on that. But you don't need the stats to tell you - what you feel and what I feel and what we feel and see in our neighbourhoods, and that's more cops on the beat and less violence on our streets.

The Media and Communications Minister says cutting funding for NZ on Air and the Film Commission isn't on the table. The Government is asking for feedback on five proposals, aiming to help local media go up against international competitors. One includes merging the Commission and NZ on Air. Paul Goldsmith says the two categories are becoming far less distinct - and a merger could even give both more funds. "Rather than having two organisations doling it out - if you had one, that could be a more efficient way of doing it. We're not suggesting changing the overall funding levels, that's just how it's administered." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week another police officer was struck by a vehicle, this time in Huntly. The officer suffered moderate injuries. It comes after the horrible New Year's Day incident in which Senior Sergeant Lyn Fleming was killed and another officer injured after being struck by a vehicle in Nelson. Police Minister Mark Mitchell said on the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning, Police and first responders are increasingly dealing with violence. Not just here in New Zealand, but globally as well. It's good to hear Mitchell, alongside Paul Goldsmith, is planning to bring new legislation into the house in the first quarter of this year to bring in tougher sentencing for violent behaviour towards first responders and prison officers. It would have been better if it had been included in Goldsmith's sentencing reforms, which had its first reading in Parliament last September. Those reforms too are to ensure criminals face tougher consequences and victims are prioritised. This new legislation aimed at offenders towards first responders will not just impose tougher sentences, but also clearly define emergency service workers, and require sentencing to be cumulative rather than concurrent. It's aimed at being a preventative measure, but something tells me offenders will get the message through experience rather than media headlines. We owe our first responders as much support as possible. They go to work and deal with a level of risk the rest of us don't have to confront. These laws show we as New Zealanders appreciate their work and are prepared to do what we can to protect them. I hope the work to clarify who is a first responder - generally thought of as police, paramedics, and the fire service - is extended to hospital emergency staff, and possibly even other health workers. The need for this legislation, this growing anger and agitation experienced by many in public facing jobs - especially those in retail - makes you wonder what has happened to us as a wider community. You rarely go into a shop without signs telling you kindness is appreciated, or that they will not tolerate abusive behaviour. Is this a post-Covid thing? Have we just got more angry with the world? Is it a need to be seen and heard? We seem to have forgotten that the consequence of anger is often more damaging than what made us angry in the first place/ Hopefully the least these tougher laws will achieve, is help bring that back into perspective.

Minister of Justice Paul Goldsmith says people who are convicted of sexual crimes getting name suppression is “a massive issue”. “Particularly for the victims, they can't talk about what's happened to them and they can't warn others," Goldsmith told Mike Hosking. “We've decided you only get permanent name suppression if you're a convicted sex offender if the victim agrees. And if the victim doesn't agree? Well, tough luck, you're not going to get it and you should own up to your crimes. “That's the current law, that the views of the victim are taken into account. Sometimes it doesn't get very far and the person who has been convicted continues to have their name suppressed forever. I just fundamentally disagree with that. “Our focus in government is to reduce the number of victims of violent and sexual offending.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
