The reassurances from Labour leader Chris Hipkins that the party is no longer the smug, arrogant outfit we all got sick of three years ago are not only starting to sound hollow. They are hollow. Because if any other party had recruited a top cop for its party list without the top cop telling police bosses about it until the very last minute, Hipkins and his crew would be going nuts. And if he wants to deny that, then he's more arrogant than I'm giving him credit for. But, given it's not another party and it's the Labour Party that announced yesterday that Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo was number 13 on its list, it's not a problem, apparently. In fact, Hipkins is saying that Naidoo has handled the matter with integrity. I'd like to see him say that to Police Commissioner Richard Chambers, who is brassed off that Naidoo waited until last Thursday to tell him that he was intending to stand for Labour. And it wasn't until Sunday - the day before Labour released its party list - that the commissioner found out that Superintendent Naidoo had actually accepted a list spot. Which is very bad form, because who knows what information Labour's latest candidate has been privy to? Without anyone in the police having any idea that he's about to run for Parliament for the Labour Party. Hipkins isn't commenting on how long the party has been in discussions with the senior police officer, other than saying there had been a couple of conversations over the last few months. But the Police Commissioner didn't know about it until it was pretty much a done deal, which is not acting with integrity, as Hipkins seems to think it is. Acting with integrity would be having a quiet word with the bosses as soon as you start having those quiet conversations with the Labour Party. Because this isn't about a cop moving to Australia for a new job. This is about a senior cop signing up to a political party wanting to take down the current government. The current government that this particular officer serves, whether he likes it or not. So no, Chris Hipkins, this hasn't been handled with integrity. And for you to try and convince us that it has speaks volumes about the arrogance of you and your party. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
A new Labour candidate has ruffled some feathers after leaving it to the last minute to notify his employer - the police - about his plans to stand. Political Reporter Russell Palmer spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.
The Labour Party yesterday announced its final candidate list ahead of the Election. Did you find it an encouraging list? It looks like there are some very capable, accomplished newcomers with real life experience quite high on the list, and quite a few activists. While several more experienced, current MP's find themselves down the list, most likely further than they'd like. So, what does this tell us? Well, not much more than any other list. Party President Jill Day said they were "proud" of the diversity and "depth of talent", and that, "we represent our whole community with the skills and life experiences we need to bring real progressive change". But every party promotes their list this way. At the end of May, ACT released their first batch of candidates by saying, “ACT's candidates are a true representation of modern New Zealand. They include farmers, legal experts, business owners, tradies, parents, military veterans, policy experts, teachers, engineers, and community leaders. They come from all walks of life, but they share one thing in common: a belief that New Zealand can and must do better." Hopefully the newbies do bring fresh ideas, and a get it done attitude - but we will have to wait and see. It's not until we see candidates in action that we really get a sense of them. The list was notable for a couple of things. 1. Greg O'Connor, the assistant speaker who said at the beginning of the year, “I don't think I'm ready to give up politics yet, I think I've got a lot to offer”, has not picked up a spot on the party list (or maybe one that he was happy with) after his seat was disestablished, so is stepping away. 2. The highly placed Superintendent Rakesh Naidoo, number 13 on the list, has annoyed his boss the Police Commissioner, who expressed severe displeasure over the process that led to a superintendent being on the Labour list. Current Police Minister Mark Mitchell isn't terribly happy either. He said it is critical that the public can have confidence that police are politically neutral. So, not the smoothest announcement there. 3. But what really caught our attention was the accidental policy announcement about tax relief by another newcomer on the list, Kingi Kiriona. He got a little ahead of himself by saying he gathered there will be some tax relief policies to be announced – and then very quickly referred back to his leader. And, you know what, I felt for the guy. The first media stand up —as a candidate— is intimidating. So, it was a learning experience – he now knows why politicians try to stick to the message. Obviously, there's some media training to come, but in the meantime it was the most interesting thing to come out of yesterday's announcement. Maybe this was just a really good tease to get us excited that Labour is about to start releasing policy. In a couple of days, apparently. It will be interesting to see if it has that ‘real progressive change' they keep talking about. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He calmed the fallout of Eric Garner's chokehold death on Staten Island, worked shoulder-to-shoulder with outspoken community leaders in Harlem, brought Jam Master Jay's killers to justice, removed bricks from the 9/11 Twin Towers, dealt with looters during the pandemic on the streets of New York—and always advocated for every victim.This real-life Blue Bloods true crime story chronicles the triumphs, controversies, politics, and dangers that define modern policing in America's largest city.Harrison shares these true crime stories:The harrowing night his undercover partner was shot on the street.An insider's view of the investigations that shaped headlines—from Jam Master Jay to his career-defining case, putting the Gilgo Beach serial killer (he called him "the Devil that walks among us") behind bars, and the personal sacrifices and moral dilemmas behind the badge.More than a cop's story—a rare, unfiltered look at crime, justice, and resilience in New York.

New figures reveal hundreds of Kiwi officers are continuing to head across the Tasman, nearly one in three police resignations are now linked to the move. But, the Police Commissioner didn't seem too worried when he spoke to Mike Hosking this morning, saying they prioritise quality over quantity. Minister of Police Mark Mitchell told Kerre Woodham "of course we want to pay our frontline police, all of our police personnel as much as we can, but we are limited. We are in a pretty bad fiscal situation at the moment as a country but we'll do our best without a doubt." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Latest figures show at least 144 kiwi Police left for Australia in the past year, but Police Commissioner Richard Chambers is not concerned. He told Mike Hosking that we have 'some of the best police officers in the world' and therefore it's no surprise other countries try to poach from us. Chambers also maintains that our Police numbers are in a good place. "I mean, there's a tremendous amount to be proud of is that we've got nearly 10,500 police officers now. We've never had that many, in this country before," he said. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On Thursday afternoon, almost 300 pages of police emails, text messages and documents were released about the Tom Phillips Netflix documentary, following an Official Information Act request. What was released raises real questions about the appropriateness of the relationship and communication between police and the production company - and whether the doco should be made at all. The planned Netflix documentary sits right in the middle of the tension between public interest storytelling, and the welfare of vulnerable children. It is not just a media issue - the information that was released poses legal, ethical, and social questions. On one hand, there is a clear argument for the documentary to go ahead. The Phillips case gripped the nation: three children were missing for nearly four years before being recovered after a violent police confrontation in 2025. A documentary could provide transparency, explain police decision-making, and help the public understand how such a prolonged disappearance was able to happen. From the production company perspective a documentary is a good business opportunity. Global true-crime documentaries sell, and this story has undeniable international appeal. Producer Dame Julie Christie isn't one to sit around discussing placing levy's on streaming services, rather she believes in producing globally appealing content they will buy. So, it was no surprise to learn this doco would be broadcast on Netflix - Christie has always walked the talk. However, the OIA documents complicate things. They show that filmmakers were granted unusually high levels of access to police operations, including briefings and access to a crime scene, in what could be seen as an exchange for police oversight of the final product. This raises two concerns. First, it risks turning the documentary into what critics describe as “police PR,” rather than an independent account. The police have final sign off on the editing of the documentary, which implies they have a certain amount of control over the narrative. Second, it suggests the production company was given privileges beyond what is typical for media. The production company was given a heads up about Philip's death before his family or the media, which the Police Commissioner Richard Chambers has expressed regret for. The Commissioner also added that the documentary was not always handled in line with the usual protocols and processes that apply to documentaries police are involved in. That's not on the production company, which clearly built a good working relationship with police and were just doing their job when asking for co-operation and access. If it's granted, they're not going to turn it down. But where most New Zealanders will be wary of this documentary is when it comes to the welfare of the children. Experts and family members have already warned that a film could retraumatise them, particularly given their prolonged isolation and the ongoing process of reintegration. There are court injunctions limiting what can be reported, signalling that the legal system prioritises their protection over public disclosure. But if there was not this documentary there will only be another one - or a book, or articles. Everyone has an opinion on this story; the interest won't go away. The Police Commissioner said, “There were strict conditions in place to protect the children and sensitive police operational information,” Let's hope that's the case.

Cindy Adams sits with retired officer Tom Smith discussing the eroding respect for law enforcement and the perceived failure of New York City's leadership to support the NYPD. Using a recent snowball attack on officers as a catalyst, Smith argues that a lack of firm consequences and "flippant" political rhetoric emboldens criminals while degrading officer morale. He specifically critiques the Police Commissioner's reliance on scripted responses and the Mayor's history of anti-police sentiment, suggesting these factors contribute to a dangerous "tipping point" for the city's safety.

What began as a peaceful rally in Sydney’s Town Hall Square turned into scenes Abigail Boyd MP says she never thought she’d witness in New South Wales. In this episode of The Briefing, the NSW Greens MP joins Natarsha Belling to describe the moment she was knocked to the ground and allegedly punched by police while filming a protest, and what she says unfolded around her as officers moved in on demonstrators, including people praying, elderly protesters and families with children. As the NSW Premier and Police Commissioner defend police actions and label the rally violent, Boyd rejects those claims, pointing to hours of video footage she says tells a very different story. Headlines: A high-profile barrister has been found dead in his home, Ghislaine Maxwell has invoked her Fifth Amendment right to silence in front of a US congressional committee, and Sussan Ley has come out firing.

Steiger addresses misconceptions about city-wide budget impacts, staffing shortages, and streamlined hiring processes under the Board of Police Commissioners, emphasizing the importance of competitive pay to maintain an effective police force.
