Late last year, thousands of New Zealanders protested against a bill that would see the Treaty of Waitangi - a founding agreement signed by Maori and the British - reinterpreted.

We’re just a couple of weeks into the new term of President Trump’s administration in the United States, and he’s moving quickly to implement his agenda. One of his action items is to impose new tariffs on all goods imported from America's 3 largest trading partners - China, Mexico and Canada. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across what a tariff is, why Trump is doing it, and what it could mean for Australia.

A new Chinese artificial intelligence app sent the tech world into a spin this week when investors realised a competitor to ChatGPT had been produced at a fraction of the cost… Almost a trillion US dollars was wiped from global markets within days, and a reckoning about the huge sums of money spent on AI by US tech giants is now underway. So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll look at what the Chinese model - called DeepSeek R1 - does, who’s behind it, and what it could mean for the AI race between the US and China.
Squiz Recommends
Listening: This episode of Bloomberg’s Big Take podcast - produced by our former colleague Alex Tighe no less - which gives a quick overview of the disruption DeepSeek’s R1 caused and what it could mean for the sector.

So in this Squiz Shortcut, we’ll get you across how a behind-the-scenes battle hit the headlines, the accusations made by Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni, and how Ryan Reynolds, Disney and Taylor Swift are involved.
