Not much of a feel-good Friday I'm afraid, given the report from Dame Karen Poutasi on the glaring errors and failings made by multiple Government agencies that resulted in the death of Malachi Subecz. Most of us I think have a dead child that's ours. The one whose story we remember. Whose name we will never forget. Mine is Delcelia Witika. She's would have been the same age as my daughter had she not died alone in her filthy cot in agony, from internal injuries inflicted upon her by her mother's

A damning report into the murder of five-year-old Malachi Subecz by his carer has found five critical gaps in the system. It makes 14 recommendations aimed at ensuring there are interlocking safety nets in place, so another child doesn't endure the same thing. A key recommendation is mandatory reporting from people in the field of suspected child abuse, which Cabinet will consider next year. Child Matters CEO Jane Searle joined Kerre Woodham.

I was listening to Agriculture Minister Damien O'Connor this morning on the Mike Hosking breakfast as he big-upped our primary industry exports. About how they do reach a new record high of $55 billion in 2023, that they’re tracking strongly towards a 4 percent increase in the year ending June 2023, despite the global downturn. Damien O'Connor says there's some comfort knowing that demand for food and fiber should remain strong throughout any economic downturn. So New Zealand’s economy remains

Well wouldn't you know it, over the last few days, all of a sudden, the Government has become concerned about the victims of crime. Not just trying to love the ones who commit it into submission. The focus seems to have switched. The police too are saying they're focused on catching criminals and what's more, they prepared to do tough things to catch them. Quite the seismic shift. Police top brass have announced they'll be reviewing their fleeing driver policy after officers reported feeling

The controversial Three Waters Bill, which the Government hopes to pass through Parliament in time for Christmas it throw up another interesting and unusual issue last week - the question of entrenchment. Entrenchment is a tool that is normally reserved for constitutional matters, governing how our elections run, for example: things like the voting age or the length of a parliamentary term or the method of voting and how electorates are drawn up. So, issues that require more than a bare majority

A public law expert says he won't be surprised if the Government back tracks on moves to entrench part of the controversial Three Waters reforms. Under a last minute change, 60-percent of MPs would have to agree to overturn part of the Bill protecting water assets from privatisation. A group of legal academics have written to the Government, raising concerns about the entrenchment of non-electoral law.

Sunny Kaushal, Chair of the Dairy and Business Owners Group, has been saying it for ages. This is a quote from an interview he gave some months ago. “Be under no illusion, it's just a matter of time before someone is killed or seriously injured and the Government will be to blame because they've taxed cigarettes to be worth more than a bottle of whiskey.” That was when he was talking about the cigarette taxes.

Yesterday, after a young caller called in talking about the fact he hadn't been able to go into work because of issues around his mental health, I was surprised at the number of texts and emails I received almost immediately. These were from people who were either experiencing similar stress and anxiety themselves, or had family members who were. The texts came flooding in and now seeing the data this morning from a survey of 1000 New Zealanders, I understand why. 73 percent of the respondents

Now the news that the Supreme Court has ruled that the current voting age of 18 is inconsistent with the Bill of Rights came through late yesterday morning. We had a little bit of discussion on it, and as expected it dominated the news and the rest of talkback for most of yesterday. Most people reacted as though 16-year-olds would now be running the country. They bemoaned the ‘wokeism’ of the Supreme Court, but the court hasn't actually granted 16 year olds the right to vote.

The Supreme Court has ruled the law preventing 16 and 17 year olds from voting inconsistent with the Bill of Rights Act. Lobby Group Make it 16 raised the claim in a bid to support its campaign to lower the voting age to 16 years old, however, only Parliament is able to change the law itself.

Anyway, another grim toll too, is the number of drownings this year. 74 preventable drownings, with the holiday season still to come. Water Safety New Zealand says although knowing how to swim is the best prevention method against drowning, too few New Zealand children are having swimming lessons. 48% of our kids are not having lessons. Despite the fact that 2/3 of parents aren't confident their children have the skills to help themselves if they get in a water emergency. If they're pulled out to

Statistics released yesterday showed that New Zealand's smoking rate has fallen to an historic low of 8% of adults smoking daily, down from 9.4% a year ago, probably down from 99.4% about 50 years ago. I might have just made-up that last one. Associate Minister of Health Doctor Ayesha Verrall said the Government's plan to reduce smoking is working. The number of people smoking fell by 56,000 over the past year, despite the pressures and stress of the pandemic, which is a good point and smoking

Now David Parker says he has done that. He and previous Ministers have noted that the Resource Management Act has failed at two of its key tasks; to allow development to take place and to protect the environment.

The Government plans to repeal the ailing RMA for new legislation by the next election. It will eventually slash and merge the 100-plus plans produced under the RMA, to just 15. The transition is expected to take roughly 10 years and is expected to cut costs to users by almost $150 million a year, as well as shorten the time to get a building consent. But will the new system stack up? Mt Hobson Group is a specialist Urban Planning and Resource Management consultancy and Director Hamish Firth joined
