Kerre Woodham: Send lethal aid to the Ukraine

2022/04/06

As you have heard in our news, the Defence Minister Peeni Henare says he's asked his colleagues in Cabinet to send some anti-tank missiles to Ukraine as part of different options to help the embattled country in its war against Russia. But so far, he says, Cabinet has put the kibosh on any aid initiative that would involve actually hurting somebody. Blankets yes, uniforms yes, anti-tank missiles, no. Megan Woods was on with Mike Hosking this morning as part of a regular Wednesday morning panel. She

When I checked the ZB website yesterday afternoon to check where we were with the level changes, I didn't feel anything at all when I saw we were going to be staying at red.I think I'm just desensitized to it all now, but then I'm not somebody whose livelihood depends on indoor audiences or customers being inside. I can't even begin to imagine how you're feeling.I did suggest yesterday that the Prime Minister's characteristic abundance of caution might mean we would stay exactly where we are and

If you're one of our listeners in your 20s or 30s, you might like to prick up your ears at this first segment for the morning. The subject is retirement and I know if you're in your 20s and 30s, it seems like a million years away. When I was in my late 20s, I never thought I'd make it to retirement, it just seemed so far away, but now all of a sudden, I can count the years to 65 in single figures. The concept of retirement has changed over time. Retirement, when I was growing up, seemed a magical

It's all about the money, honey. And we would be fools to think otherwise. INEOS Team UK's budget for the last American Cup challenge was $210 million and the cost of mounting an America's Cup campaign gets higher and higher with every passing year. If you've got chump change, if you've got mates looking for coins down the back of the couch, sure you can mount a challenge. You are extremely unlikely to come close, far less win it.

The Government has taken another step towards fulfilling its pre-election promise to lift incomes and improve working conditions of everyday Kiwis. The Fair Pay Agreements Bill was introduced to Parliament yesterday and is expected to pass into law later this year. Under the bill, employees will be able to force their employers to negotiate working conditions and pay if at least 10% of their workforce or 1000 staff agree to it. Objectors believe the legislation will only drive up costs for

I imagine it's come as a wee bit of a surprise to some people that all of a sudden, economists and commentators are warning that New Zealand is facing a brain drain. For a while, all we heard were about the hordes of New Zealanders wanting to come back to New Zealand. Will be overwhelmed, some said. Where are they going to live? What are we going to do? Now we've got Brad Olsen from Informetrics who posed the question last week, 'Is New Zealand facing up to a brain drain?' For the year to January

A new report out is highlighting something I think most of us know already; that we are failing our children when it comes to reading and writing. Researchers from The Education Hub have combined international research with local studies and have found that yes indeed, we're failing and there are multiple contributing factors. The first one - children have to be in school to be schooled. If you're going to teach children, they have to be in the classroom to be taught. Chronic absenteeism is a major

A new report from the non-profit Education Hub organisation has raised concerns about what it calls a "deeply worrying" decline in literacy levels. Less than 65 percent of 15-year-olds have basic proficiency in reading and maths. Education Minister Chris Hipkins says the Government is working hard to turn around the trend, but it takes time.

Treasury is warning the country's current infrastructure gap is set to widen if nothing changes. It's also stating the Government frequently doesn't get value for money with investments and has one of the worst records at delivering infrastructure. Infrastructure Commission Chief Executive Ross Copland says New Zealand has underinvested compared to its OECD peers and too often when investments are made, they aren't the right ones.

What on Earth are we waiting for? Cabinet is to decide today on the future of the country. Covid-19 protection measures, the mandates, the vaccine passes and the like. They've already had the concession of allowing unvaccinated New Zealanders back into the country that was done very quietly. And although we don't know what they have decided — we won't know that until Wednesday (why I don't know) — surely we have to move on. If people don't want to mingle with the masses, fine, don't, stay home. Put

History for me is very much a living thing, and knowing where we've come from and how we got here is vital to understanding, I think, who we are. But then I'm biased. I chose to study New Zealand history. I found it fascinating and I think it's an incredibly worthwhile subject. And it's constantly being evaluated as historian and Massey University professor Michael Belgrave said on the Mike Hosking breakfast. Teaching subjects like colonisation is going to be contentious, but we have improved and

GDP rose by three percent in the last three months of last year, a lower figure than most economists had forecast but ahead of Reserve Bank expectations. It follows a 3.6 percent fall in the previous three months. The rise has come as Covid-19 restrictions loosened. To discuss, Kerre McIvor was joined by NZ Herald Business Editor at Large, Liam Dann.

Visitors from other countries which New Zealand has visa waver arrangements with, like the United Kingdom, will be able to come in the weeks after that, followed by all other countries.

On Thursday and Friday, there was not a cost of living crisis in New Zealand. Yesterday, however, the Prime Minister announced that we have a global energy crisis, after Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Well aware that she was looking out of touch and obdurate, the Prime Minister decided over the weekend she had to respond to calls to help New Zealanders who are struggling to pay the rent, fill the car and put food on the table. And so, yesterday Cabinet decided that they would offer some

The Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern has this morning finally acknowledged that there is a cost of living crisis, and she's indicated the Government will announce some kind of relief, presumably at the petrol pump.She was able to choke out the C-word today - crisis; despite refusing to concede there was one just a few days ago. And this was probably so as not to be seen as buying into National's narrative. Christopher Luxon was the one who coined the 'cost of living crisis' phrase and he's been
