Move-on orders are being pitched as a way to “reclaim” town and city centres.

The Government is proposing a law which would allow Police to order someone rough sleeping or begging to leave a public space for up to 24 hours.

They could be fined up to $2000 or three months in jail if they don't.

Critics say that does nothing to create homes, risks criminalising poverty, and simply shifts people – and the problem – from one street or suburb to another.

UK police have arrested Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor on suspicion of committing misconduct in public office.

It comes after allegations the former prince shared confidential information with former financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein when he was a UK trade envoy, a role he held from 2001 to 2011.

Police searched his Sandringham home and former Royal Lodge residence.

He has since been released, after about 12 hours of questioning.

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.
