Mike's Minute: All Blacks vs The Māori Party

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2025/09/07

What a contrast Saturday night was. At Eden Park the rugby as good as you could possibly want. For all the hype and worry of the week, the All Blacks reminded us that when it all comes together, when it really matters and records of significance are on the line, there is no side in the world that can touch them. We won well. We never looked like we would lose and when you know you are that good there is no reason to believe you won't win the rest of the season. In the meantime, in the by-election,

The Prime Minister's surprised Labour lost in the Tamaki Makaurau by-election. Te Pati Maori's Oriini Kaipara won the seat over Peeni Henare by three thousand votes. The by-election was triggered by the death of MP Takutai Tarsh Kemp. Total turnout was around 27.1 percent. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking he thought Labour would trounce Te Pati Maori, as they've had no policies and have only been criticising. Luxon says he also felt bad for Peeni Henare with Chris Hipkins not showing up to the

A colourful makeover coming for Auckland's Paremoremo prison unit which houses the country's most dangerous criminals, won't be anything too flashy. In a bid to lift its oppressive conditions, the Prisoners of Extreme Risk Unit is receiving a fresh paint job with colourful designs and shapes. It follows a Chief Ombudsman report raising concerns of human rights abuse. Corrections Custodial Services Commissioner Leigh Marsh says it won't involve detailed murals of people and places.

MPs and supporters gathered in Palmerston North over the weekend for the party's annual conference.

Belief the health sector should set targets for all elective surgeries to ensure wait times are reduced fairly. The Government's exceeded its half-year target, by delivering more than 16-thousand extra operations before the end of June. The overall waitlist has also dropped by nine percent. General surgeon Chris Wakeman told Mike Hosking targets are a good manoeuvre - but they do have their downfalls. He's worried staff won't be able to deal with smaller and high turnover cases if they don't see

Mike's Minute: Are we over-cafe'd?

2025/09/05

We have all seen it. I have seen it a good number of times. The café that was exemplary, sold, the new owner changes the menu, brings in a few kids to serve, and then wonders why six months later they are out of business. As the hospitality people yet again told their tale of woe, and do not get me wrong, times have been tight and many an outlet has struggled, but as the new numbers got rolled out for the obligatory headline, it is probably time to get a bit honest about a sector that at times is

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The Chinese parade: 8/10 Forget politics. As a “thing”, as a spectacle, as a “can you believe how in time those goose steppers are?”, it was spellbinding. Helen Clark and John Key and Dan Andrews and Bob Carr: 4/10 On balance, given what it was really about, I think it was a mistake. Trump's death: 2/10 A sad reminder of just how thick, gullible and worryingly naive some people

2025/09/04

From the old "cart before the horse" department are two setbacks for ideas we thought were going to work, or perhaps we hoped were going to work, but aren't. Idea 1: We get big tech to pay for locally produced news. That’s Google paying NZME for news that ends up on their news feed. To a degree, deals had been done specifically between some companies, but the Government had the idea that as part of their "supporting the troubled media" plan they could drag big tech to the table to cough up. It turns

No surprise from All Blacks hooker Codie Taylor at the competitiveness of the Rugby Championship. All four countries enter the third round fixtures tomorrow with a one win, one loss record. Taylor told Mike Hosking it's a continuation of what occurred in 2024, with a loss to Argentina and South Africa both. He says it’s always close, which is what you want with test footy, but the All Blacks need to be better. “That’s what we’re striving to be.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

The trouble with change, apart from the fact we don’t like it, is it's especially bad if we don't know what it is. The good news for real estate this week has been the foreign buyers changes for visa holders. Adding to that, we've had a series of interest rate cuts, with more to come. But in a place like Auckland what do you buy, and where? There is no small amount of angst currently over a new unitary plan. The new plan came out of the Government's idea of having three houses, three stories tall,
