Former Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson told Ryan Bridge that David Seymour has to realise this was never going to a civil debate due to the emotions involved. “The debate takes place against the backdrop of what I perceive to be hostile acts towards tangata whenua over the last year in terms of names and treaty principles… it’s a culmination of a number of things.” He said he might not have gone into government with the bill on the table if he was still in office. Finlayson said he was

There are concerns New Zealanders could be priced out of their own backyard. The Government's seeking feedback on who should pay visitor fees at national parks and conservation areas. The options include charging everyone the same, charge New Zealanders less than international visitors, or only charge overseas visitors. Federated Mountain Clubs President Megan Dimozantos told Ryan Bridge they're open to foreign access charges. She says they have the means to pay, and infrastructure has already been

These are the political winners and losers from a bombastic day in the House yesterday: Labour: loser. Willie Jackson did his best to take the headlines, didn't he? But Te Pāti Māori's choreographed stage production well and truly stole his thunder and with it, they've probably stolen any hope of Labour regaining the Māori seats they lost at the last election. Why would you vote for Te Pāti Māori-lite in Labour, when you can have the real deal? It's highly unlikely Labour will need to lead the next

International tourism continues its slow recovery to pre-Covid levels. Overseas visitor arrivals were at 3.23 million for the year to September, which is up on the same month last year, but well below 2019's almost 4 million. ASB Senior economist Mark Smith told Ryan Bridge that part of our struggle is that the global economy still recovering from Covid.

The Government's taking a new approach to Public-Private Partnerships for infrastructure projects. There will be a reduced risk for private partners and guidance for agencies on how to lower the cost and time burden in the bidding process. Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett was Mayor of Porirua, when a Public-Private Partnership was established to build Transmission Gully.

60,000 Cantabrians are set to descend on the Canterbury A&P Showgrounds for the Christchurch Show. The three-day event kicks off today in place of the usual New Zealand Agricultural Show.

Joe Biden has welcomed Donald Trump back to the White House in a meeting in the oval office. It's a traditional courtesy that the outgoing president welcomes the incoming president, a courtesy Trump didn’t afford Biden in 2020 after his loss. Today, the pair both spoke about a smooth transition of power. US correspondent Mitch McCann told Ryan Bridge there were a lot of smiles and handshakes. He says it was a little unexpected, seeing as they usually seem to despise each other. LISTEN ABOVESee

Ryan Bridge: Why does no one like New Zealand?

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2024/11/13

There were two numbers out yesterday that prove that no one likes us. Number one - 87%. We're still plateauing in the high 80s for tourism, that's on pre-Covid levels. And number two - 55,000 for the year to September, that was our net migration loss of New Zealand citizens, which is a new record. Not only are we that unsexy to foreigners —they won't come here and have a piece— but our own people are off flirting up a storm with the likes of Australia. And they're not even flirting – it's not a

ACT is calling for an end to taxpayer-funded election ads. They’re calling for the Government to consider ceasing the “broadcasting allocation”, given to election campaigns to buy television and radio ads. MP Todd Stephenson suggested it in the Justice Select Committee’s inquiry into the 2023 election, and the report was made public this week. He told Ryan Bridge the taxpayer doesn’t need to be forking out just over $4 million every year for political parties to pay for their TV and radio ads

After days of mounting pressure, the Archbishop of Canterbury is stepping down over his handling of abuse allegations. Justin Welby —the leader of the Anglican Church— has been under fire following the release of a report into abuser John Smyth. Smyth, who is believed to be the most prolific child abuser associated with the Anglican Church, died in 2018 without facing justice.

Commuter chaos. It's one of the prices we must pay for living in a democracy. I know this won't be popular with Aucklanders this morning or others around the country where this hīkoi is heading, but it's a cost we must bear. They're closing two lanes of the Harbour Bridge this morning, and if you've got kids getting to an NCEA exam, then you will be fuming about this. But let's remember, this is a one-off protest. It's not like those dickheads from the public rail or whatever they were in

Survivors are hoping the Government won’t stuff it up when it comes to the abuse-in-care reparations. Abuse survivor Jim Goodwin says the Government's apology is a huge moment for many people. But, he told Ryan Bridge, today's words will need to be followed through with actions. Goodwin says he's worried about how the Government will provide support for survivors and what they'll do to prevent future abuse-in-care. He says that compensation is important but it’s only part of what survivors need.
