Big tech wants Luxon to turn NZ into ‘sandbox'
Overseas venture capitalists want to use New Zealand as a 'sandbox' for testing new technologies, including artificial intelligence and genetic engineering.
According to meeting notes obtained by Newsroom under the Official Information Act, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon held one-on-one meetings with potential overseas investors last year. Several times, the investors steered the conversation away from general policy discussion and towards the potential of using New Zealand as a base for developing their 'specific interests'.

PM on youth boot camps after participant withdrawn: "I don't think we should give up"
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said there had been challenges in the community transition part of the military-style youth boot camp pilot, but that was expected and ideas for improvements would be considered. Photo: RNZ / Marika Khabazi The Prime Minister is defending the government's boot camps despite one participant being removed from the pilot following a court appearance, saying they are some of New Zealand's most challenging young people but "I don't think we should give up on them." Oranga Tamariki confirmed on its website on Monday that one of the teenagers who was part of the pilot was "withdrawn" and "transferred to Corrections custody." The agency would not comment further because the issue was before the court, but its acting deputy chief executive of youth justice services Iain Chapman said the team who worked closely with the participant during the pilot was "disappointed with the outcome for this young person." "We are continuing to provide support and work alongside their whānau through this transition to the adult jurisdiction." Chapman said the focus now was ensuring the best outcome for the eight remaining participants in the final weeks of the pilot, which concludes next month. The military style academies for youth have come under scrutiny by opposition parties for a lack of transparency , particularly the reoffending rate of the teenagers. Reducing reoffending was a primary goal for the boot camps. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon said the military style academies had been a "good initiative" and one of several things the government was trying to do to reduce reoffending, but he didn't expect everyone coming through the programme wouldn't reoffend. "We obviously said we've put in place a pilot," he said, and would consider how that played out when finalising the legislation. "There were some really good learnings from my take in the residential component in particular, and there was some challenges, as we had expected, in terms of the community transition." He said that information would be digested. The government could consider potentially extending the residential period he said, and what more could be done about the community transition period. He said the government would continue to "perfect" the boot camps to see how they could work better and "have more impact." "We are dealing with some of New Zealand's most challenging young people. But I don't think we should give up on them." He said the government was giving them an opportunity to "change their lives" and "put it on a different trajectory than where it's heading". "If they choose not to take that opportunity that's ultimately on them, but we are going to give them every opportunity to choose a better pathway."

Live stream: PM briefs media after law and order announcements
Prime Minister Christopher Luxon is speaking to media after Cabinet met earlier today. The briefing follows two announcements on law and order in the past 24 hours. Yesterday, the Government announced that people who assaulted on-duty police officers, firefighters, paramedics or prison officers would face longer prison sentences under new criminal offences. Those who assaulted with intent to injure would face up to five years in jail, while those who injured with intent could receive up to seven years — an offence that would also trigger the Three Strikes regime, requiring mandatory minimum sentences. And, this afternoon, Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith unveiled a specific offence for "coward punches", which would mean tougher sentences for perpetrators - up to life for culpable homicide. ADVERTISEMENT A coward punch usually involves a person being punched or assaulted, without warning, by a stranger. Goldsmith said: 'We know how dangerous they are. People can be killed or suffer lifelong brain injuries, yet perpetrators often receive lenient and insufficient sentences. 'This fulfils a commitment in the National/New Zealand First coalition agreement, to introduce legislation to create an offence for anyone who injures or kills someone with a coward punch."
