Yet again, the cruel and unnatural Hunger Games-style MIQ lottery has been in the spotlight. This time because a high profile journalist has been denied permission to return home so she can have her baby. Christchurch native and former journalist at Al Jazeera, Charlotte Bellis, has made headlines around the world after she revealed that the Taliban offered her asylum in Afghanistan - when New Zealand refused to allow her in. You can just imagine the tabloids take on that. But her’s is just

Finally, businesses receive approval to bring RATs into the country and they have been operating very well. Until, the ministry decides to play catch up and has consolidated orders into this country. They call it consolidate, others say, requisition. Even if there was a problem, what in the name of all that is holy makes the Ministry of Health think it can rollout Rapid Antigen Tests? Show me the evidence that the ministry could in fact see a problem and solve it. It has shown itself to be inept

However, it's lower than many economists were predicting. NZ Herald Business Editor at Large Liam Dann joined Kerre McIvor. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The new mask mandates, the increased use of RATs and the continuing saga of MIQ . People who are essential workers in vaccine-mandated jobs must wear medical-grade masks. This is where the Government is going to have to come to the party and pay for them as many of these workers are essential but low paid. They haven't got the money to be forking out on medical-grade masks, even if they could find them. And when it comes to MIQ, surely to goodness we're going to have to give up on MIQ and as a

Remember the call earlier this week with Janine? If you were with me, you won't have forgotten it just yet. Janine was the one who said the hospitals were being overwhelmed with unvaccinated Covid patients who were denying other people the opportunity to receive treatment. And then we had the febrile Jan yesterday, who was terrified of latte-drinking Aucklanders, coming to the South Island because everybody in the little retirement communities that she lived in would end up dead.

Gross domestic product has fallen 3.7 percent in the September quarter. Stats NZ says it's the second largest fall since the current series began in 1986. It says this reflects a widespread drop in economic activity due to the Covid-19 restrictions and lockdowns, in the second half of the quarter. The fall follows a 2.4 percent rise in the June quarter. Stats NZ says some industries were more affected than others by restrictions.

A damning report from the Auditor-General has found significant deficiencies in how the Ministry of Social Development paid for private rental properties to be used as emergency housing. The report found MSD didn't monitor the quality of accommodation and couldn't show it was receiving value for money, that is, if the rentals were worth the money paid for them or how warm, safe and dry they were. Social Development Minister Carmel Sepuloni says her agency needs to take a rebuke on the chin. She says

17 more days in Red for Auckland and the other Red regions. Just doesn't seem to make any sense, and I think that must be my most oft quoted phrase of the year. I get why Northland is in red and has to stay in red. But I don't really understand why Auckland is staying in red. Red Aucklanders can join Orange New Zealanders as of tomorrow. And indeed, they will be doing so when you look at the flight bookings from here in New Zealand and the travel plans of many Aucklanders. So Red Aucklanders can

No funding available.For the past 14 months, Brittany has tightened the screws on her face to realign her jaw in preparation for having a prosthetic jaw fitted. She had her jaw and skull base removed, along with a life-threatening tumour, in 2006.To then be told there was no funding for her surgery - it was a kick in the

It is no surprise really, is it, that industries, professions and trades are struggling to fill vacancies in almost every role, every capacity. It was tough this time last year and it's only got worse as our borders stay shut and the MIQ requirements remain. New Zealand is simply can't be trained up fast enough to fill the vacancies that exist. And again, there simply aren't enough of them that are work fit. Those who want jobs should have them by now.

People 14 and under will never, ever, ever be able to buy cigarettes in their lifetime. The ban will increase as they age. Very, very interesting. Successive governments have tried to target smoking. I think the Clark government was the most vehement in trying to get the number of smokers down, but Governments understand that smoking is not

Auckland Transport is being criticised for a cycleway plan costing $8m per kilometre. More than $144 million out of a billion-dollar city Council climate package will go on 18 kilometres of cycle infrastructure. It's much pricier than Wellington's bike cycle plans at 1.5 million dollars a kilometre. Greater Auckland advocacy website’s editor, Matt Lowrie joined Kerre McIvor. “This 18 kilometres which is also on top of other things that they’re rolling out is really just a drop in the bucket of
