Now, if you were told that you would be dead in 10 years but you had the potential to save yourself if you chose to do so, would you? Rationally, intellectually, of course you would. Especially if it was as simple as taking a pill. You'll be dead in 10 years, take this pill, you'll save your life. You'd do it to see the kids grow up and spend time with the people you love, you'd take the opportunity of a second chance, a second life, and make the very most of it. But there is no magic pill.

The Green Party has announced another plank in their bid to end poverty, and that is a limit on how much landlords can increase rent every year. An earlier policy of the Greens, also designed to end poverty, was their wish for a minimum level of income, and that would be funded by a wealth tax. Now they want to see renters protected through a limit on increases, and a register setup of property owners to monitor compliance. The limit if the Greens have their way would be 3% a year, or when wage

In the wake of news that a whole raft of cost-of-living subsidies and temporary tax cuts are set to end tomorrow, along with all the other news headlines, I had to Google reasons to be optimistic this morning. We've got the end of the fuel tax discount and the subsidy for road user charges for diesel vehicles coming to an end. Half-price public transport fares will stop for most as well. Children under 13 remain free, as do half price fares for community card holders and people under 25. But for

Yesterday I touched briefly on the fact that yet another study has come out showing that alcohol is considered one of the most harmful drugs and numerous studies around the world, the latest from New Zealand, show the level of harm it does to others, as well as the level of harm it does to users. And of course more people use alcohol than they do meth, so obviously more people are going to be affected. But when you look at just a sample of drunk driving stories - this is a handful.

There used to be ivory towers of academic learning, elitist, only a few could enter. Now they’re businesses that live or die based on the number of bums they can get on lecture hall seats - and yet they still seem to be lost in the past and unable to forge away into the future. Universities around the country are facing the reality of having to lay off staff and cut classes. It's the loss of international students that's made a big dent in university revenue, with student numbers yet to return to

They are not being hired by Te Whata Ora, and if they are, the process is long and involved and they are bottom of the list. Dileepa Fonseka joined Kerre Woodham from China.

Well, the National Party delegates and the party faithful didn't have a weekend off. This was their party conference weekend, so it was all guns blazing as the faithful gathered together to hear how New Zealand would look under a National government, and more specifically, how National was going to get them the votes that would enable them to form a government. They didn't really introduce anything new and experimental. The party stuck to its greatest hits, fixing the economy, pointing out Labour's

Basically, I'm going to let Nicola Willis do the opener for me this morning. After the discussion we had earlier this week about the absolutely callous disregard with which local and central government treat our money, how timely was this report from the Auditor General's office? They were charged with deciding whether the $640 million spent on projects during Covid, left over from the Provincial Growth fund, whether that was money well spent. Fair question. Money was allocated. Was it well

Political journalists and commentators have been having an absolute field day over the past 18 hours dissecting the downfall of former Transport Minister and Minister for Auckland, Michael Wood. Wood had been on notice since it was revealed he had failed to sell his shares in Auckland Airport, a clear conflict of interest for a Transport Minister. But he resigned yesterday as a minister after it emerged he held thousands of dollars’ worth of additional shares in a trust, some of which raised

There's a perception that a generation of New Zealand homebuyers are greedy, acquisitive and are locking young Kiwis out of the property market. Why buy another house when you already have one? Some economists have urged New Zealanders to put any savings into the share market so that local businesses can grow, but if you look back at this country's economic history; you can perhaps understand why older New Zealanders want their money to be as safe as houses. We've had the Bank of New Zealand teeter

My Tuesday morning started quite well. It's not raining. Sun’s out, nice drive into the city. And then I got to work and read the story from Wellington about the brakes being hit on the Wellington speed reduction plan, after a councillor spotted that the cost-benefit-analysis had been overstated by $250 million. So they've gone back to the drawing board. The whopping error means that papers that were sent out for public consultation are worth little more than toilet paper, consultation will be

The headline in the Herald this morning says, “Auckland surgeons must now consider ethnicity and prioritising patients for operations”. But I think this has been going on for some time, certainly the texts I've received over the past year indicate that this has been going on for some time. ACT party leader David Seymour backed that up when he told Mike Hosking this morning that he's had surgeons, in his office, telling him that they were being told to take ethnicity into account when deciding who

Surgeons are now being required to consider a patient’s ethnicity alongside other factors when deciding who should get an operation first. Several surgeons say they are upset by the policy, which was introduced in Auckland in February and gives priority to Māori and Pacific Island patients, on the grounds that they have historically had unequal access to healthcare. The other categories on the waitlist are clinical priority, time already spent on the waitlist, location and deprivation

Data from Stats NZ this morning showed how the economy performed in the first three months of 2023. And revised data showed GDP contracted by 0.7 per cent in the final quarter of 2022, worse than the 0.6 per cent recorded earlier.

If you are wondering where the $2 billion for mental health is going, you may be kept wondering. Wait times for children seeking mental health treatment have increased nationwide. In Wellington they have more than doubled to 68.7 days - while in Rotorua they have rocketed from 42 days to 76 days. The National Party say mental health should be dealt with separately to the Ministry of Health - and if elected they pledge to introduce New Zealand's first Minister of Mental Health and Suicide

Now, if you've listened to the show for any amount of time, you will know that I have always banged on about education being a lifeline, especially to kids who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. If you come from a family where there are few choices, a good education, good qualifications, give you an opportunity to aspire to and attain more. This is no longer true. Where previous generations had the opportunity to get a world class education and education that could take them anywhere in the world,
