DIA expected to reduce child exploitation yet job cuts loom - 19th June 2024

On the show today Minister of Internal Affairs, Brooke Van Velden, joins us. A recent win for child exploitation and the removal of child porn on NZ sites, but job cuts are still expected in this sector...can the minister assure the public that they actually take child exploitation seriously, then? Holly Brooker and Jo Robertson launched the ‘makes sense’ campaign,  which called on the government to regulate not only things like child pornography … but all violent sexual content online.  So is this move going to make a difference? The Tania Dalton Foundation is preparing for a significant fundraising event, where they will host the Parliamentary Rugby team and the Polyferns (Netball), aiming to create a family-friendly social event that unites the community. Local residents will have the opportunity to mingle with our national MPs in a lighthearted atmosphere, all while raising funds to support Tania's charity foundation. This foundation strives to make a meaningful impact on the lives of young New Zealanders
