Streamlining justice – Jonathan Krebs, NZ Law
Society
Justice Minister Simon Power has announced his intentions to streamline the justice system – saving time and money by proposing that anyone facing charges punishable by less than three years in prison should be able to be tried by a judge alone instead of a jury. He also wants to stop defence lawyers from ‘gaming’ the system. What does the NZ Law Society think about all of this? Kim talks to spokesman Jonathan Krebs.
1:05 Ethnic Diversity
FTW – Philippe Le Grain
“Ethnic diversity”is such a
buzz phrase these days…Kim talks to a visiting
economist/journalist who thinks it will help lift New
Zealand out of the recession. His proposition is simple:
diversity boosts creativity, innovation, and ultimately
economic growth. So how can New Zealand make this work?
1:40 The Green Desk
Simon Miller talks to Laura
Faire, one of the authors of Shop Local, Eat Well - a guide
to shopping and cooking locally-sourced, seasonal produce to
reduce food miles and generally be a good little green
camper.
