One woman's harrowing run-in with police: Overreaction or justified force?
08/10/23 • 35 min
A few days before last Xmas, Louise (not her real name) gave a thumbs down signal to a police officer. What followed has lead to her heading to court facing four charges, and has left her seriously traumatised.
The Independent Police Conduct Authority are looking into her case but it once again raises the issue of justifiable force vs 'police to peace'.
How hard is it for our police officers to get the balance right? Could this happen to any of us?

Reimagining farming in New Zealand with entrepreneurial pioneer Geoff Ross
My esteemed guest today is none other than Geoff Ross. Formally a vodka brand genius, he is now a trailblazing farmer from who's on a mission to revolutionize the way we think about farming. His journey is an inspiring one, though it has not been without controversy.
Our conversation provides a fresh perspective on farming, debunking many misconceptions. We look at animal welfare practices, transparency, and biodiversity; and discuss the pressures the Ross family have encountered in ushering changes to conventional farming methods, their ambitious goal of becoming the first carbon-neutral farm, and the significant investments they've made to achieve this feat.
New Zealand needs people like Geoff Ross. They are vital if we are to continue to innovate and be truly world-leading.
