Demand's strong for bricks and mortar retail, despite the growth of online shopping. JLL NZ's new report estimates almost 255-thousand square metres of new retail space is needed over the next five years to keep up with our growing population. It also finds customers prefer in-store shopping over e-commerce. Research and Strategic Consultancy head Chris Dibble told Mike Hosking a significant amount of the development is likely to happen in Auckland, as the city has about 13% of the country’s

Z Energy's expanding its 'top up shops' in hopes of helping with competition in the grocery sector. The gas station chain is expanding its grocery offering as part of a diversification push. It will target customers looking for convenience between their large shops – for snacks or staples. Grocery Action Group Chair Sue Chetwin told Mike Hosking they'll have nothing fresh or frozen, which is where the competition is. She says they'll have bits and bobs, but it's not the answer to very high grocery

Hints the foreign buyer ban could be lifted, but not yet. OneRoof reports rumours have been swirling with some agents telling them politicians had told them a decision to reverse the 2018 Labour policy was imminent. Act leader David Seymour and New Zealand First MP Andy Foster were mentioned, but both deny any confirmed changes.

There's a belief EDs could be diverting patients away with vouchers for urgent care clinic consultations, more than they are. It's believed Auckland's Waitakere Hospital is sending away around 25 patients a day with vouchers due to long wait lists. The Health District's total voucher spend jumped 60% between 2022 and last year. The Royal College of GPs' Medical Director, Luke Bradford told Mike Hosking there's pressure on EDs to meet Health NZ's target of seeing patients within six hours. He says

The chair of the Privileges Committee wants Labour's Leader to apologise. Chris Hipkins told TVNZ Judith Collins had publicly condemned “uncivilised behaviour from indigenous people” in relation to Te Pati Māori's actions. Judith Collins told Mike Hosking she never said that. She says it’s entirely wrong for him to have said that, and she’s called on him to apologise and apparently he’s going to think about it. The debate on the proposed punishments for the three Te Pati Māori MPs was moved to June

The debate around the Privileges Committee and their decision for the Māori Party MPs starts today. It's set to be a long-winded and largely pointless exercise. If you can be bothered, get a read on where each of the parties stand. Why? Because you will find that some parties don’t agree with the committee and think the so-called punishment is a bit hard. The Prime Minister was asked about this yesterday at his post-Cabinet press conference. In fact, they were the first questions asked, which was

A continuing squeeze on natural-gas supply, with little hope for a quick solution. Production fell 20% in the first quarter, compared on the year before, to 22.85 petajoules. Industry spokespeople say available gas is depleting and exploration of new fields is banned. Echelon Resources CEO Andrew Jefferies told Mike Hosking we're not going to get more gas without looking for it. He says gas provides nearly the same amount of energy electricity does, so people can't do without it. LISTEN ABOVESee

There's frustration over the Government's lack of pace in changes to encourage foreign investment. It's set aside $65 million over four years to loosen the capitalisation rules for investors. The change will allow foreign-owned companies to fund a bigger chunk of their investments in New Zealand through tax deductible debt. Queen City Law managing director Marcus Beveridge says told Mike Hosking the Government's still trying to get rid of roadblocks. He says it's underwhelming to be a year and a

The Prime Minister says his Government is calling out bureaucrats falling foul of the government's expecations. It comes off the back of Winston Peters expressing his criticism of Māori targeted hires, after a government job was advertised as a “tikanga lead” to promote Māori customs, principles and values in the Māori policing unit. Luxon discusses whether the reason NZ First is seeking changes to the regulatory standards bill is because they have problems internally. The Government is officially
