  • Auckland's housing plan is changing again. What will happen over your fence now?
    Feb 19 2026

    A step forward for housing capacity in our largest city – or a step back on housing affordability?

    Auckland’s explosive debate over density planning has come to a head, with Housing Minister Chris Bishop making a U-turn on capacity limits.

    It’s all got to do with the controversial “PC120” plan.... which has been scaled back slightly to allow for 1.6 million homes to be built, as opposed to 2 million.

    But, what does that actually mean? And why have the rules to pack more homes into Auckland sparked such a fierce debate?

    Today on The Front Page, journalist Simon Wilson is with us to unpack the updated plans, the protests, and what it means for your backyard.

  • How a Kiwi TV producer made a Hollywood escape amid fraud charges
    Feb 18 2026

    What does New Zealand and David Hasselhoff have in common?

    The answer, is TV producer Alex Breingan.

    He has been hit with a raft of Serious Fraud Office charges... and is the same guy whose production company, Stripe Studios, owed the Baywatch star money.

    Turns out, he might owe a lot more people, a lot more.

    Today on The Front Page, NZ Herald Media Insider Shayne Currie is with us to take us through the rise, and falls, of this high-flying, Kiwi producer.

  • National infrastructure plan: Too much new, not enough maintenance
    Feb 17 2026

    Fixing the leaks, not just buying bigger mops.

    That’s the theme of the National Infrastructure Plan released today.

    It looks at 17 sectors covering central government, local authorities, and commercially regulated utilities.

    The 30-year outline sets out how New Zealand can improve the way it plans, funds, maintains, and delivers infrastructure... and guess what, it turns out we don’t do it very well.

    Each year we invest just over $20 billion on infrastructure, yet on a dollar-for-dollar basis we achieve less than many of our international peers.

    Today on The Front Page, New Zealand Infrastructure Commission Chief Executive Geoff Cooper will take us through this mammoth report.

    Follow The Front Page on iHeartRadio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify or wherever you get your podcasts.
