Health New Zealand says some vape stores are putting profit over the health of our children. In July, the agency sent underage volunteers to 600 stores to attempt to buy vape and cigarette products. 63 retailers were caught - and will face infringement fines. National Public Health Service Compliance Manager Jo Pugh says it's very disappointing. "As a result, we sent out more infringement fines of $500 in this month than we have ever before."

Philip Polkinghorne's defence team says the Crown's accusations against him have been an insult. The Auckland eye surgeon is accused of killing his wife, Pauline Hanna, in 2021. In his closing remarks Ron Mansfield KC says a lack of injuries on Hanna's body must mean she took her own life. Herald reporter George Block says Mansfield also gave an explanation for Polkinghorne deleting his messages with sex worker Madison Ashton. "Mansfield says that was just because he didn't want that to become public - if it was going to be this big investigation, he didn't want his extramarital liaisons to become public fodder." Ron Mansfield will continue his remarks in the morning before the judge sums up the case, then the jury's expected to start deliberating tomorrow afternoon.

The Justice Minister says he expects rising crime statistics may not reflect what's happening now. The Government's set a goal of 20-thousand fewer victims of crime by 2030, but says recent crime data shows the scale of the challenge ahead. A recent survey shows an increase in people's experience of crime over the past two years, but Paul Goldsmith told Heather du Plessis Allan this means there is a lag. He says he thinks the numbers reflect a peak last year, and should now be starting to turn down. Plus, the government has announced reforms going before Parliament this week include capping sentence discounts at 40 percent and scrapping repeat discounts for youth or remorse. New aggravating factors are also being introduced, to include adults exploiting children by aiding or abetting their offending - and for posting criminal activity online.

About this debate in Australia on banning social media for kids - I have just come across an article that makes the best comparison yet for how we should deal with this issue. Treat it like sex. This article is by an academic in Australia and she argues that the best way to protect kids from social media is by teaching them its dangers, like we do with sex. I think we know now that banning sex for teens doesn't work, celibacy all the way through to marriage doesn’t work - and the best way to deal with it is with sex education. We teach kids how the whole thing works, we teach them how to be safe, and most kids actually do end up fine. That, she says, is how we should treat social media. Teach the kids how it works, teach them about the algorithms that push information at you, teach them that if you click something you’ll get more of the same, teach them how the perfect model lying by the pool with her perfect boyfriend on the perfect holiday is just a photo and it's not real. And teach them how to be safe, teach them not to look at certain things, show them how to talk about what they see if it upsets them and so on. But with sex - we do ban it as well. We say kids under sixteen cannot legally have sex, we put these guardrails up, and I think we should do that with social media too, if only as a guardrail. For kids under a certain age, ban it. No social media. But ban it knowing the ban is just a guardrail - it's not going to work. Most kids are going to flout it because if it doesn't work for sex, it won't work for social media. But educate them as well, that is the most important part. If we think about it like that - kids will do this thing you don't want them to do, if you ban them from doing it, they'll do it anyway. Then you understand the best thing you can do as a parent and an educator is teach the kids how to do it safely. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
