Cabinet today, and the promise this week is that we're going to get a ferry plan. Apparently there might be an announcement on Wednesday. It's been a year since Nicola Willis pulled the plug on the Kiwirail's ferry plan and it wasn't because the ferries were so expensive, in fact, these ferries were a really good deal. It was because of the cost of the port side developments. And I think this is something that gets lost in the whole debate when we talk about it. The ships weren't the problem. The

A better end to the year than expected for the dairy sector. Fonterra has raised its forecast Farmgate Milk Price's midpoint for the second time in less than a month. It's up 50 cents to $10 dollars, citing strong demand from China and south-east Asia. Forsyth Barr Senior Analyst Matt Montgomerie told Ryan Bridge that demand from China has been sluggish for some time, so it’s pleasing to see they’re returning in some way.

So it looks like looks like police will miss the deadline of adding 500 extra sworn officers by 2026. What we were promised should take two years. Now the new Police Commissioner, when fronting scrutiny week in parliament, he said it will take 2.5 years. So an extra six months - will anyone really care? Probably not. Should we care? When there are more bad guys out there doing bad things, we should always care about how many good guys and girls we have out there countering that. But on this

A government appointed scientific panel has found that by reducing our methane emissions to 24% by 2050 we would meet the goal of not seeing additional warming above 2017 levels. But the climate change commission has warned there's no evidence to support changing the existing target of up to 47 percent.

That's basically the question you've got to ask yourself after the latest wool snub. This time it was Kāinga Ora saying no to Kiwi made woollen carpet for state houses, and yes to synthetic imported stuff. Why? It's cheaper. We've been here before, you'll remember the school classrooms - same story. It's happened again despite the coalition agreement deal with New Zealand First ensuring wool carped is used where practical - and that might be the caveat that Kāinga Ora is using here to get out of

There's hopes a shakeup at Auckland Transport will bring more democratic decisions. The council will now take control of transport policy and planning, as well as road control. A new Auckland Regional Transport Committee will be created to develop a 30-year transport plan – agreed to by Cabinet and the council.

Here's a question for you this morning - How much will ever be enough to spend on health? The answer is there will never be enough, so you got to make do with what you got. At least that is what Health New Zealand is trying to do. At the moment, we spend $30 billion bucks a year, that's just taxpayer money on health. Itis middle of the road for the OECD in terms of percentage of GDP comparisons. According to Health New Zealand we're ahead of the likes of the UK, Canada and Sweden, but we're behind
