A census sent out to all government workers is wider reaching than simply identifying cost cutting advice. Thousands of public servants across all agencies have been asked in a census to identify taxpayer value in their work and any changes needed, with results expected in July. The survey's done every five years. Public Service Minister Judith Collins told Mike Hosking how to save money is just one of many focuses. She says it also asks about concerns people have around any unacceptable sexual

Winston Peters says Donald Trump's team is "well-informed" about what's happening in our part of the world. The Foreign Minister met with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and key officials in the US last week. The visit comes as New Zealand waits to see if we'll get any exemptions from Trump's tariffs. Peters told Mike Hosking Rubio, National Security Adviser Mike Waltz, and the others he met with, were very aware of developments in our region. He says they were seriously well-advised and much

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. GDP: 7/10 Or should that be 0.7? It’s a bigger number than they thought and an indication that we have finally turned the corner. The Covid loan deadline: 3/10 A sad, sad, sad reminder of why the 0.7% in GDP has taken so long to get here. Close to $1 billion owed and what do you reckon the chances of it all coming back are?

If you accept that the Government are struggling in the polls, you may well accept the general notion that part of what is driving that is the lack of runs on the board. Perhaps an impatience is frustrating some of us. We voted to get rid of the last lot on the understanding that things had been wrecked and destroyed, and there was this new lot that were going to put it right. The trouble has been, as they have tried to explain, that things like fiscal cliffs were a lot worse than anticipated and

There’s more uncertainty about who will be and won't be included in Donald Trump's upcoming agricultural tariffs. Here in New Zealand, we're still in the dark about whether we'll receive an exemption for things like our growing exports of hamburger meat. Over in Australia, analysts believe they're very unlikely to get an exemption. Correspondent Murray Olds told Mike Hosking US farm lobbyists are accusing Australia of creating an unequal trading relationship – something Australia disputes. LISTEN

There's no such thing as a ceasefire this morning. It's all breaking down in the Middle East. Netanyahu's come out with more fighting talk and the rockets are back on. And for Ukraine, Trump hasn't exactly cloaked himself in glory with this so-called deal. And I say so-called deal because it hasn't actually held. First, it was only partial. There wasn't a full ceasefire like Zelensky agreed to. Second, it covered energy infrastructure not being hit for a 30 day pause. But already the Russians have
