With miles and miles of open sea, 160 kilometres of coastline, 13 clean, fast flowing rivers and 11,200 hectares of native bush, the Ōpōtiki District is the perfect home for a community that appreciates and enjoys outdoor activities and the natural environment. It would also appear to be an ideal habitat for gangs and gang members right now. Ōpōtiki, population 9300, is in effect, closed for business. As the posturing and chest beating between two opposing gangs reaches a crescendo. Hundreds of

New Zealand's state housing agency maintains it has a number of tools for dealing with unruly tenants. Newstalk ZB has revealed only three Kāinga Ora tenants have been evicted for bad behaviour since a crackdown announced February last year. There were 10 ,000 complaints over the same period. New measures included a termination option if three serious incidents were recorded within a 90-day period. Kāinga Ora national services manager Nick Maling told Kerre Woodham the first focus is helping people

The New Zealand Blood Service is looking for 40,000 new donors to meet the current demand for blood products. They currently have 117,000 donors who help save the lives of 30,000 people every year, but with a growing and ageing population, we need more blood and plasma for patients . If they don't find new donors, they'll be forced to compete on the global blood market for the first time.

It's new Harnessing Biotech Policy would also streamline approvals for trials and use of non-gene editing biotech, in line with other OECD countries. A regulator to ensure safe and ethical use of the technology would be created, while human embryonic modification wouldn't be allowed.

Paddy Gower's piece on his show Paddy Gower Has Issues last night highlighted the violent bullying that is happening in our schools, focussing on a young Napier girl who was bullied so badly she had to leave school. The 11-year-old was beaten up at her intermediate school in March while a group of students watched, filming the incident rather than stopping the vicious attack. Auckland University senior research fellow in the faculty of Medical and Health Sciences, Dr Sam Marsh, has spent over a

I'm disappointed with Health Minister Ayesha Verrall. The Government announced they would take action to reduce the number of young people taking up and becoming addicted to vaping. It was an opportunity to put much-needed regulation in place around vaping, to catch up with more proactive countries such as Australia. While the initiatives announced yesterday will go some way to making it more difficult for youngsters to get their hands on vapes, it does not go far enough to seriously deal with this

A year ago the Life Education Trust was saying young vapers were consuming as much nicotine as someone smoking a pack-and-a-half of cigarettes a day, and that schools were crying out for help because they are dealing with young people with full-on dependency issues - it had become an epidemic. Fast forward to today, and the Government has done something. They've announced new rules that include banning new vape stores near schools and marae, disposable vapes, and flavour names that appeal to

There has been much discussion this week about the Government's decarbonisation deal with Bluescope Steel. The Government is contributing $140 million so the Glenbrook Steel Mill can swap half of the coal it currently uses with electricity. Questions have been asked as to whether if we become a nation of electric car drivers, how are we going to generate the energy we need and do we have enough renewable energy?

Most of us are doing it at the moment, aren't we? Crunching the numbers of the household budget, seeing where we can make economies? Whether there's any way we can earn a little bit extra. Sorting out what the necessities might be, what the nice to haves are. The Mayor of Auckland is no different. He released his final budget proposal about half an hour ago, a day later than planned, and one of his main drivers is privatising the $2.2 billion shareholding in Auckland Airport. He wants the Council to

I've been trying to get my head around just how big a deal the issue is with Jan Tinetti, Minister of Education, who has now been referred to Parliament's powerful Privileges Committee. This is following her failure to correct and inaccurate statements she made in Parliament back on, I think it was February 22nd. So what happened? Jan Tinetti was asked a question, I think by Erica Stanford, in the house, and she was asked to categorically state that she had played no part in the delay of a release

There's a big story, a big call, that's been made by the Metropolitan Police in the UK. It’s pretty dramatic on the face of it. The police chief there has announced that the Metropolitan Police in the UK will no longer attend emergency calls related to mental health incidents. It's not just an advisory; it's an order by the chief to their officers not to attend the thousands of calls that police get every year to deal with mental health issues. There are two essential reasons given. One is that in

It's expected today that Police Commissioner Andrew Coster is going to announce a revision of the police pursuit policy and that a “fleeing driver framework would be introduced. The New Zealand Herald is reporting that this framework is going to give the police, finally, the discretion that everyone's been calling out for. So they're going to give them the discretion whether or not to chase, based on an assessment of the crime that the driver has committed, and the risk they pose to the

First up, the polls. Remember yesterday when I asked what Christopher Luxon had been smoking with his backtrack on the housing accord? Well, clearly, whatever Christopher Luxon has been smoking, the people want a bit of. The latest 1News Kantar Public poll has seen National and ACT able to form a government, if the survey reflected election results. That would be National on 47, ACT 15, making 62 seats and enough to form a government. A Labour/Greens/Te Pāti Māori coalition could only reach 58

Leader Christopher Luxon has said he intends to change the rules on housing density if he forms the next government. Greenfields development, which means converting farmland into suburbs, will be favoured instead. Mt Hobson Group is a specialist Urban

On occasion, I do wonder why people listen to talkback. How is it that format can attract so many listeners? But I think, after myself listening to a lot of politicians in the past few weeks, it's because when we are talking, you and me, we're actually talking. We're trying to communicate. We're trying to get a point across. We're trying to make a statement. We're trying to get people to understand our point of view or we're reinforcing a point of view. We're not obfuscating. We're not stonewalling

Economists predict the Official Cash Rate will rise today, but opinions differ on whether it'll be a 25 basis point increase, or 50. Mortgage advisory firm Squirrel Chief Executive, David Cunningham, has penned an open letter to the Reserve Bank Governor saying they shouldn't lift the OCR. He says the effects of measures already taken are still unrolling. He told Kerre Woodham his letter is born out of a frustration over economists accepting interest rates must rise more.

The other big announcement is that one of the country's biggest greenhouse gas emitter is moving away from a coal-fired furnace to an electric arc furnace, which is kind of back to the future because numerous former workers at the Glenbrook steel mill have said we used to have one of those back in the 60s. And they did away with it - there was no guaranteed supply of scrap metal to fuel the furnace, and I imagine an arc furnace built in 1963 is quite different to the sort of technology available in

The Prime Minister called it the 'Bread and Butter Budget'. Pundits have called it bland, basic brand, bare bones, bread crumbs and the baked beans budget. Most have agreed it was a glamour less affair and restrained. Highlights include the removal of the $5 prescription fee, expanding free early childhood education, and free public transport for children. Dentons Kensington Swan Partner and tax expert, Bruce Bernacchi, joined Kerre Woodham Mornings to discuss the finer points. LISTEN ABOVE See
