There's a view that the ferry deal timeline is optimistic. Rail Minister Winston Peters has announced two road and rail-enabled ferries and upgrades to port infrastructure will be rolled out late in 2029. Former Chair of the Ferry Ministerial Advisory Group Mark Thompson told Mike Hosking that will be a challenge with current conditions. He says there's an influx of orders for ship builder, which could jeopardise the timeline. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The coalition is showing unity on the Cook Strait ferry deal. Rail Minister Winston Peters has announced two road and rail-enabled ferry and port infrastructure to be delivered by 2029. Finance Minister Nicola Willis had a plan, but it wasn't confirmed whether those were rail-enabled or not. Peters told Mike Hosking the fact that a new plan is on the table, isn't being critical of her. He said that when they brought a new option to the table, Willis had enough wisdom to say they should see if

The Reserve Bank appears to have caved to pressure with its decision to review its capital requirements. The central bank introduced stricter rules in 2019, requiring banks to hold capital to buffer them against a 1-in-200-year financial crisis. The rules have been criticised for driving up lending costs. Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking there's been a clear appetite for change. He says the Reserve Bank has "read the tea leaves", including criticism it's faced from

Bad news for France's National Rally party as leader Marine Le Pen's been barred from running for office for five years. She's been found guilty of embezzling European Union Funds to finance the party. Le Pen will be ineligible to run in the 2027 presidential election.

The Government says all options are on the table as Nicola Willis issues a six-week consultation to ensure 'all options are exhausted.' The announcement has been met with disappointment by Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the six-week period is reasonable. "Maybe other governments in the past haven't actually thought about things or been prepared to go as as deep as what we're proposing, but I think it's a good thing," he said.

Talk about teasing me on a Sunday morning. At 10am we are told Nicola Willis is giving us the good word on supermarkets. She doesn’t like the industry - she's been telling us this for a year and a half. She is going to do something about the industry - she's been telling us this for a year and a half. So, Sunday was the day. Except it wasn’t. It was yet another diatribe about what needs to be done, what could be done and what might be done.

Village Roadshow, no small player in the movie industry, this week filed for Chapter 11. They have been having some legal issues with another major studio. But they sighted along with that their other overriding problem, the actors' strike. You remember that? It was more than actors, of course, it was the whole industry. Hollywood came to a stop for months as they argued over pay and conditions. Some of the pay and conditions were based around what was seen at the time as this frightening new

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Signalgate: 1/10 A good sign of how mad and dopey that lot are. A platform they shouldn't have been on, a denial that got blown out of the water, and an attack campaign that made them look pathetic. The Warriors: 7/10 Not just two wins in a row, but two very good wins in a row - and a third on Sunday with the Tigers. Liam Lawson: 2/10 Yes, it's sport and, yes, it's tough. But

The most uplifting part of the week for me in terms of news was the combination of Winston Peters and his very wise words over diet and work. The statistics department released the numbers of those who are working beyond 65-years-old. In fact, not just 65, but 70, 80 and 90-years-old. For Peters, what made the advice so useful is you can argue he has never been more relevant and effective. Age is one thing, but performance is another. If you take the politics out of it, he would be the match for
