Kiwis are divided over whether reality television show Police Ten 7 should be cancelled following concerns the show features racist stereotypes.

Auckland councillor Efeso Collins on Sunday called on broadcaster TVNZ to scrap the show, which has run for 28 seasons, due to its portrayal of "young brown people".

"I think it's high time that a chewing gum show like Police Ten 7 was spat out of the New Zealand TV vernacular, because there's absolutely no need for it any more," he said.

On Monday, Government policy and its effect on Māori homelessness is being put under the spotlight at a Kaupapa Inquiry - with more than 30 claimants set to share evidence on how agencies have failed.

Jason Miller, a spokesman for Trump's 2020 campaign, told the network that Trump would re-enter the social media space with a new platform of his own that would "completely redefine the game".

Facebook has given the first glimpse at a wrist-based computer input system it's working on as part of its augmented reality (AR) development.

The social media company has huge ambitions for the technology, hoping it'll revolutionise how humans interact with computers and even calling it a "form of a superpower".
