New Zealand's annual inflation rate is 7.2 percent. Stats NZ has just released its Consumers Price Index for the 12 months to December 2022. It follows a 7.2 percent annual increase in the September quarter. The country's had months of high inflation - with prices frequently rising faster than at any time since the early 1990s. After housing and household utilities, the next largest contributor to the annual increase was food prices. NZ Herald Business Editor at Large Liam Dann joined Kerre to chat

Now some of you when we were talking about roading last year and the potholes and the damage being done to cars and trucks, the state of the roads, some of you might have been wondering what on Earth were banging on about? Most of us don't drive far. Short car trips under 2kms make up nearly a third of all car trips. So, listening to people talking about the appalling state of our roading infrastructure was probably not something directly affecting you. But perhaps over Christmas, if you managed to

I have come back rested and recharged and really looking forward to the year ahead. Especially given the PM's bombshell announcement last week. Any working parent of a young child would know exactly how Jacinda Ardern felt. This is a huge job, and while other prime ministers have faced challenges, Jacinda Ardern faced more than most. I think to pick herself up, to put herself out there for a year of brutal campaigning, trying to sell unpopular policies, trying to justify Labour's body of work,

Here's a bit of good news. Good news… that seems a bit counterintuitive, but nonetheless we'll take it. We'll take any good news going. We've heard a lot this year about the anxiety young people are experiencing. Preventing them from attending school regularly in some cases, from going into the workplace, participating in the office life, or taking up employment altogether. And yet, according to a New Zealand Herald survey, Kiwis in their late teens and early 20s are more optimistic about society

Fresh GDP data shows solid economic growth. The New Zealand economy grew 2.0 per cent in the September quarter, greatly surpassing expectations. Economists had expected just 0.9 per cent in the quarter. Services industries were up 2.0 percent and led the charge. NZ Herald Business Editor at Large, Liam Dann, joined Kerre Woodham.

You may have seen the the documentary series that's aired on Three over the last two nights. "The Gangs ...14 Years Later" is made by Pam Corkery (also a former politician and documentary maker), as a follow up to her 2008 docos about New Zealand gangs. Pam goes back into the gang world to find out what's driving the massive changes we're seeing today - the increase in crime, violence and use of guns, and the influence of the 501 deportees from Australia.

Nobody, surely, would want a child to take up smoking. It's a ruinously expensive habit that is indisputably bad for your health and the Government has gone about protecting young people in a novel way by banning the sale of tobacco to anyone born after the 1st of January, 2009. It's one of the measures towards a goal of a Smokefree New Zealand, Smokefree Aotearoa. The others being reducing the amount of nicotine that's allowed in smoked tobacco products and decreasing the number of retailers that

2022/12/12

On occasion, I receive emails and texts asking me why I am so critical of the Government. Fewer texts and emails are arriving this year than in previous years, to be fair, as it becomes more evident to even the most fanatical of devotees, that ideological decisions made with the best of intentions are actually harmful to the country and too many New Zealanders. To be fair, I would be critical of a Government of any hue that behaved with such misguided, myopic, ideological idiocy - and on the flip

I suppose it's a bit unfair to conflate the two because there is absolutely no correlation between licensed firearm users and illegal gun use, I get that. And I suppose that an increase in the cost of a firearms licence is fair enough, given that licensing fees have remained static since 1999, according to the police. The police also point out that the cost - $126.50 or thereabouts, is less than 15 per cent of the true price to issue a licence. So okay fair enough. But it's just the optics of the

I thought, given that it's FriYay, we could start today's show with a bit of good news, a bit of positivity. Incredibly to me, a survey commissioned by small business lender Prospa showed that New Zealand's small businesses are feeling positive heading into the Christmas holiday period. 514 businesses with between one and 49 employees - 73 percent of those said that they felt good about their overall business health. 63 percent are optimistic about their business growth potential over the next year

John Campbell's series on young offenders called Tough Love, which is running during One News couldn't be more timely given the agonising over what to do and how to deal with offenders as young as 10 years old. In this series, we've seen Craig Clark from Counties Manukau police and Jane King from Oranga Tamaki, and they realize that many of the young people that come to their attention come from homes where police and Oranga Tamariki are not trusted.

Firefighters will get a 24 per cent wage increase under a $145 million settlement agreed upon by Fire and Emergency New Zealand (FENZ) and the New Zealand Professional Firefighters Union (NZPFU) today. It signals the end of a gruelling 18 months of negotiations that could be coming to a close. The draft collective has yet to be ratified by the union members, a

The doco attempts to answer a very broad and complex question: should we decriminalise drugs in New Zealand? Gower presented a variety of perspectives, from that of Australian MP Karen Andrews who’s firmly in the “war on drugs” camp, to University of London’s Professor David Nutt, who argues that taking MDMA is less dangerous than riding a horse.

Do not hold your breath waiting for the findings. Given the scope and breadth of the inquiry, it'll be mid-2024 before we can see any kind of official report.

The Government's backed down on a highly controversial element of its Three Waters reforms. It's dumping the entrenchment clause against water privatisation, which was voted through under urgency. Leader of the House Chris Hipkins says entrenchment was a mistake, and had wider implications that Government isn't comfortable with. It'll be ditched as soon as the House resumes tomorrow. Hipkins has written to both National and ACT seeking confirmation they'll also protect water assets from
