It's a tale of two cities, with Canterbury crowned the top regional economy and Wellington finishing last. ASB's latest Regional Economic Scoreboard shows Canterbury outperformed in nearly every key measure, including employment, retail spending, housing activity, and population growth. Otago and Waikato tied for second and Auckland climbed to fourth. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Mike Hosking it follows the theme they’ve seen over the past few years of export-focused regions being more

There are hopes aligning with Australian fuel standards could allow us to work together in an Anzac-type arrangement for fuel supply. The Government's changing the standards aiming to make it easier for importers to source fuel. Associate Energy Minister Shane Jones says they're currently drawing the line at higher-sulphur fuels until officials know if it'll damage new European emissions-compliant engines here. He told Mike Hosking Australasia is at the end of the railway track, so we should work

Synlait's boss says the company's facing its toughest period in 20 years, but hopes a turnaround is near. The Canterbury milk processor's posted a half year loss of $80.6 million. Revenue rose $32 million to $949 million, while debt soared 88$ to $472 million. Chief Executive Richard Wyeth told Mike Hosking the next six months are critical. He says they've got the sale of a North Island asset coming up but need to catch up on a backlog for advanced nutrition, then they can focus forward. LISTEN

A refined oil expert's dismissing the idea the Government's allowing 'dirty fuel' into the country to ease supply. Our fuel specifications are changing so importers have the option to bring fuel refined to Australian standards. It says the fuel's compatible with New Zealand vehicles and meets safety and quality expectations. Australia's Macquarie University's Lurion De Mello told Mike Hosking they've used these fuel standards for the last ten years. He says it won't have the environmental damage

Labor has comfortably won re-election in South Australia while One Nation surpasses the Liberals. The result means Peter Malinauskas will return as NSW Premier for a second term. Australia correspondent Steve Price said the landslide result can, at least partially, be attributed to the Liberals being 'pretty useless'.

Mike's Minute: It's a good time to be a Warriors fan

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2026/03/22

I tell you what, it never gets old. How good are the Warriors? First time since 2018 we are 3-0. It's the second time ever. That’s a lot of years where the start has not been as good as the start of 2026. The Knights, although seemingly better this year than last, are not the Roosters and certainly not the Raiders. So in that sense when they scored early in the first half you didn’t really wonder whether this was the week things could go wrong. The half-time score wasn't close so we didn’t have to

Luxon said, "we will do everything we can to support New Zealanders, but I have to be really straight up and honest and say we cannot support everybody, to the extent they probably want to be supported."

Foreign Policy Institute Fellow Jeffery Price told Mike Hosking he's not convinced the threat is anything other than a negotiation tactic.

The tit for tat between the two is continuing with gas and oil infrastructure becoming the latest targets, Iran retaliating by hitting Israel's Haifa oil refinery. Global oil prices are continuing to surge. Donald Trump says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's been instructed not to attack these energy sites.

Obviously Chris Hipkins would disagree, but Donald Trump surely wins the "crap week of the week" award, given his week has material outcomes for all of us and Hipkins’ is just a personal mess gone ugly and public. The war itself doesn’t appear to be any different at the end of week three than it was at the end of week two, or indeed week one. Every indication is Iran is being obliterated. They have three major kills and the fact we have yet to actually see and hear the new Supreme Leader indicates

The cost of running a farm is surging. ANZ's latest Agri Insights report, which used data from more than four thousand farms over five years, found costs across the board were 27% higher than before Covid. It was driven largely by increased labour and input costs, such as fertiliser. Lincoln University’s Dr Jacqueline Rowarth told Mike Hosking that the farmers who buy retail and sell wholesale are the ones feeling the pinch. She says there are some sectors who, although their land may have cost
