The Government's changing residency rules to allow overseas primary teachers to apply for New Zealand residency. Speaking exclusively to Newstalk ZB, the Immigration Minister says from next month, offshore primary teachers will only need a job offer, and don't need to have worked here for two years, to be given residency. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking it follows the Government putting secondary teachers on the same pathway last year, which made a big difference to their numbers. LISTEN ABOVESee

Mike's Minute: Winston Peters is wrong about the Pacific

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2025/02/23

I am sad to report that Winston Peters is wrong. His thinking that the Pacific favours friendship has been proven naive. As I have always said, chequebooks win and we don’t have a chequebook and even his goodwill gesture in 2017, when he lined up along side Labour and handed out a billion dollars, has proven woefully short. The Chinese have shown over the weekend that the world is changing, and in a dramatic way, and we haven't even mentioned the word Trump yet. The Cooks deal is about mining the

2025/02/20

In a week, 230 New Zealanders were given confirmation Kinleith Mill was over. The Australians facing the same scenario at a place called Whyalla in South Australia did something completely different. The steel mill is owned by a British billionaire and it's in a world of financial trouble. It may well go to the wall. It employs 1000 people in a town of 22,000. So the state Government, backed by the Federal Government, has bought it. Even for a Labour Government in Australia it is an extraordinary

Councils are planning for the long term, so should the Government be doing the same? The Auditor-General's Office has compiled a report into 58 councils’ long-term plans, and found they made a “significant achievement” meeting their requirements on time in uncertain circumstances.

Air New Zealand expects to be short of planes for at least another two or three years. Our national carrier's recording an 18% drop in half-year profit.

It's thought the Government is unlikely to grant a wide scale amnesty for overstayers. Daman Kumar, who was facing deportation to India even though he'd never visited, has now been offered residency. The Greens want his parents to be granted an exemption, as they have been overstayers for 24 years. Into NZ Immigration principal consultant Katy Armstrong says the Government won't want to grant amnesty because it could be seen as unfair to legal migrants. She told Mike Hosking there needs to be
