The Food and Fibre sector claims the education system is letting it down. Leaders from farming, forestry, horticulture, and seafood have joined forces to launch a Food and Fibre Workforce Capability Strategy. They’re pushing for tertiary education reform —with an employer-led, work-based learning model— to match real industry demands. Horticulture NZ Chief Executive Kate Scott told Mike Hosking the current model isn't working. She says it tends to favour the volume of learners rather than the value

The All Blacks are returning to Eden Park to defend their record. Coming off the back of the worst-ever defeat just 12 days ago against South Africa, they're set to host the Wallabies in the Bledisloe Cup opener on Saturday. There are six changes to the side, with Ardie Savea taking over the captaincy from an injured Scott Barrett. Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking the pressure of performing at Eden Park is still there, but he would describe it as a gift. He says people care so deeply about

Our largest company has been seeing profits surge, despite a period of contraction in the economy as a whole. Fonterra's confirmed a 13% rise in annual operating profit. Its final farmgate milk payout to farmers has reached a new record high of $10.16 and its cash return to shareholders is up 30.6%. Fonterra Chair Peter McBride told Mike Hosking we need dairy to do well for the country to do well.

The Government says its changes to the court system are making a real difference. It has released figures showing civil cases in the District Court have dropped 20% in the year to July to over 10,200. The Disputes Tribunal cleared 900 more cases over the same period. Associate Justice Minister Nicole McKee told Mike Hosking there are fewer cases coming to civil court. And she says the cases which are coming through are being resolved more quickly.

The Reserve Bank Governor appointment is not to be underestimated. We have never had a foreigner. Well, we have (the first was British) but that was in 1934 and that’s the sort of thing you would have expected given colonialism. Obviously, the fact she is female should not be a thing. I think we have seen plenty of examples that essentially woman can, and do, do anything and the more we continue to isolate out appointments on gender, the more we remind ourselves how little in our minds we have moved

Ryan Fox has had an excellent run this year. He’s back in New Zealand off the back of a season that includes two PGA Tour wins and a Guinness World Record. The end of the year also brings with it the return of the increasingly popular ‘Chasing the Fox’ event, which is now into his fourth year. Despite his major success this year, not much has changed in regards to Fox’s mentality. “I’ve always believed my golf was good enough to beat the best players in the world,” he told Mike Hosking. “Especially

Gaming continues its upward trajectory. New stats show that in Wellington alone, jobs in the sector grew 12.8% over the last year. New Zealand now brings in $170 million more in revenue than Australia does. NZ Game Development Sector Rebate Programme Director Chantelle Cole told Mike Hosking the $170 million figure is just from the rebate recipients, so they’re expecting the number to rise upon the announcement of the industry-wide figures. She says revenue is predicted to reach a billion dollars by

Former All Black Steve Devine is hailing the launch of a new portable brain scanner that's set to revolutionise concussion diagnosis for rugby players in New Zealand. The Nurocheck headset will be able to detect head injuries in just two minutes without the need for baseline testing. Devine has suffered a number of head knocks in his playing career and says the device is especially beneficial for the amateur game.

Auckland Council is moving to allocate up to two million new homes in the coming decades. The council's Policy and Planning Committee voted 18-5 to pass the plan, which will see more housing near transport hubs and less in natural hazard zones. Councillor Maurice Williamson has compared it as a choice between a firing squad and lethal injection. He told Mike Hosking he’s a fan of intensifying along rail corridors and busways, but it doesn't make sense to go into suburban streets and force the

David Seymour believes a refresh of Pharmac's operations is benefiting New Zealanders. Its latest funding proposal includes five new medicines for breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, eye conditions, and lung cancer. The Associate Health Minister says a board and leadership change has worked well, and the next step is ensuring strong budget bids. Seymour told Mike Hosking that instead of Pharmac working within a set allocation, it will now go to the Finance Minister each year for funding. When it

Police say recent cannabis busts show how widely cultivated the drug is. Over the course of a month Operation Beryl busted 120 properties across Auckland, seizing 11-thousand illicit plants, estimated to be worth more than $58 million. More than ten tonnes of cannabis from Vietnamese organised crime groups have been destroyed. Detective Inspector Callum McNeill told Mike Hosking it's likely one of their largest cannabis busts ever.

Our next Reserve Bank Governor is being commended for her track record in Sweden. Dr Anna Breman —the First Deputy-Governor of Sweden’s central bank— will lead our central bank from December. Swedish economist Selva Baziki says the Swedish economy is similar to New Zealand's. And she told Mike Hosking Breman and her colleagues successfully reined in inflation without too much economic impact.

Here's some things we can do to help the economy through jobs. Firstly, compulsory arbitration. I'm sick and tired of teachers and nurses and doctors striking. The current strike this week by doctors, they claim, has been a result of more than a year of negotiation. Surely at some point —and Health NZ have finally pulled the trigger— it becomes apparent that two sides aren't going to cut a deal, and some heads need to be banged together. So, Health NZ have asked for arbitration. A simple law that is

Business leaders aren’t sugarcoating their messages for the Government.

Only a third of respondents back the Government's current growth agenda. Forsyth Barr Managing Director Neil Paviour-Smith told Mike Hosking concerns are being expressed about the need to tackle the difficult problems and long-term issues.
