There's fresh criticism of Labour's selection process, while the party itself continues to brush off concerns. Police are reviewing whether new Labour candidate Rakesh Naidoo shared any sensitive information with the party while deciding whether to stand. His bid for Parliament was announced on Monday after two months of discussions with Labour, but he only informed his manager last week. Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Heather du Plessis-Allan Richard Chambers is responsible for maintaining neutrality. He says the Police Commissioner should have put a plan in place to manage the perception of neutrality but was never given a chance by Labour. But Labour's Police spokesperson Ginny Andersen insists Naidoo followed the correct process. She told du Plessis-Allan it's surprising and unusual for the Commissioner to make public comments before any review's taken place. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Police Commissioner says he should have known months ago that senior officer Rakesh Naidoo had decided to run for Labour, to protect Police impartially. Police Minister Mark Mitchell says Naidoo has been privy to private information. Commissioner Richard Chambers says he only found out on Sunday, while Labour says Naidoo told a supervisor his intentions last Thursday. Chambers told Kerre Woodham there are clear Police guidelines for a reason. He says they've seen each other multiple times in the past two months, and they needed to know a lot earlier so impartially is protected and everyone is kept safe.

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.

Free State Provincial Police Commissioner Lieutenant General Thabang Lesia has condemned the incident in Hennenman involving a 47-year-old SAPS Rural Safety Coordinator who is alleged to have shot five people, killing three and injuring two, before taking his own life.

I wanted to start today with a landmark study from Monash University. It's found that a routine arming of police officers does not lead to a spike in trigger happy coppers. In fact, after Aussie coppers were armed in the early 1990s, there was a downward trend in shooting rates. The research, which investigated 50 years of officer-involved shootings in Australia between 1970 and 2020, challenges the prevailing assumption that increased firearm availability among police inevitably results in higher rates of lethal force. And I think that assumption exists here. You think that by routinely arming officers, there will be more shootings. That doesn't appear to be borne out across the ditch. Police in most countries are routinely armed, but they're not in England, New Zealand, Norway, and Scotland. Guns are available, but they're not worn as of the standard uniform. And this is often due to concerns that arming officers could damage their relationship with the public or lead to a more authoritarian style of policing. The lead researcher of the study at Monash, Dr Ross Hendy, said the findings provide crucial real-world evidence for countries currently debating whether or not their police should carry guns. It was not followed by an increase in shootings. I find that interesting because you would imagine if it's there, you'd use it. But not necessarily so. And I think you've seen where you are going to see a damaging of the relationship between police and the public is when you have officers who are completely brainwashed and unwilling and or unable to use their own discernment, as we saw in the appalling case of Henry Nowak. An utterly appalling case. I haven't been able to watch the full video of that poor young man being handcuffed as he lay dying because once you see something, you cannot unsee it. American History X is a case in point. I could not – I started to watch it and then I just could not. But this is what happens when police are too intimidated, too brainwashed, too fearful to use their own critical thinking and instead rely on doctrinaire and tutelage and sitting through endless re-education classes, going from black bad, white good to white bad, black good. You cannot reduce humans to that kind of binary, primitive calculation. And that seems to be what's happened in an attempt to try and rid the British police force of any kind of racism towards minority communities. They have completely flipped it and now you have racism in reverse, which is just as damaging, just as bad. And this is the result. So that's what's going to damage relations between police and the public when police aren't able to use their own discernment and police accordingly. How many times do you think the police fired their guns in New Zealand? They're not routinely available, you can access them, so I would have thought maybe 100 – I don't know why. I mean, we're seeing increasingly violent crime, I would have thought maybe 100 times. No. Police discharged their firearms in just three separate events in 2024 Three! Three times! It averages about 5.5 times a year over the past 10 years. That is a phenomenally small number of times that police actually fire their weapons. When they fire them, they tend to fire them for a reason, and the result tends to be terminal. You could hardly accuse our police force of being trigger happy. The police say they're very glad that their de-escalation training is working. The presentation of firearms, sponge bullets, tasers, and batons is far more often than that. But they don't use them, they just show the offender, the person, what they've got, but they don't just pull them out and use them. That shows that they're thinking, they're discerning. While the Police Association has advocated for routine arming in recent times, for a long time they did not. But as policing has changed, as policemen have been shot and killed, they have called for routine arming. Politicians have been more cautious. A routine arming trial was carried out in 2019 and 2020 but not continued because the Police Commissioner of the time, Andrew Coster, said they created fear in communities. So that that didn't happen. The low rate of police firing their weapons is incredible when you consider that the firearms were pointed at police in 19 incidents over 2024 – eight times they were fired at. So they've fired at fewer criminals than criminals have fired at police. I think if the police want to be armed, I think the stats show they have the self-restraint, they have the discernment to be able to use them. The Monash study says when it came to Aussie police, routinely arming them did not lead to an increase in use of firearms. In fact, there was a de-escalation of them. So the studies from Monash, our own statistics from New Zealand, say to me that if the police want to be armed, they've earned the right to bear sidearms, if that's what they think they need to do.

But, the Police Commissioner didn't seem too worried when he spoke to Mike Hosking this morning, saying they prioritise quality over quantity.

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.

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.

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.
