The Prime Minister's speech yesterday afternoon, to what I assume was a business audience, was well received. Another piece of tangible evidence that we are at last trying to get this place moving economically again. The nomad visa, or digital nomad announcement, was of a similar vein but a mile too late. Over 60 countries have a similar scheme and, to be honest, if you're on holiday and you open your lap top, are you a visitor or a digital nomad? Yesterday's golden visa is not a minute too soon for

Cook Islands Prime Minister Mark Brown will be signing agreements in China this week, with New Zealand and much of the Cook Islands left out of the loop. Member of the Cook Islands Parliament Tina Browne said the island nation is not in favour of the Prime Minister's plans. "The country is reacting in a way that I've never seen before ... we thought that things were calming down, but actually they're not, they're escalating," she said.

Donald Trump's doubling down on his plan for a US takeover of the Gaza strip. Posting on social media, the US President says Gaza will be turned over to the US by Israel when fighting has "concluded". He says by then Palestinians will have been already resettled in "far safer and more beautiful communities" elsewhere in the Middle East. However, it turns out that Trump didn’t inform some of his top cabinet picks about the idea beforehand, which has lead to some backpedalling. The new Secretary of

Waitangi: 2/10 At some point the minority is going to realise the majority, i.e. us, tuned out years ago, and the circus that passes for a so-called National Day needs a massive rethink. School lunches: 2/10 Well, the whining is a two anyway. General reports suggest the lunches themselves are fine, but the bitching and media clickbait superficiality has to stop. The Warriors:

Mike's Minute: Our race relations prevent progress

2025/02/06

The TJ Perenara performance and the reaction to David Seymour are both indicative of all that is wrong with this country in terms of race relations. It is not harmonious, it is not well debated, it is not cordial, and it is not better than it has been. The Prime Minister gets it, but Seymour doesn't. There is no point in heading north each year, you are simply treated poorly by rude people. This year in Seymour's speech the mic was removed twice, backs were turned, and people tried to sing over the

New data has revealed the pay of chartered accountants in New Zealand lags behind that in Australia. A survey by Chartered Accountants Australia New Zealand has found members across the ditch took home a median NZ$177,000 compared to NZ$144,200 in New Zealand. Chief financial officers were being paid around $336,000 to New Zealand's $265,000. But Chartered Accountants' Charlotte Evett told Mike Hosking she's not surprised.

The age group also lost more than 70% of the 32,000 net jobs lost last year. Former Reserve Bank economist Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking young people typically bear the brunt.

2025/02/05

I don't mind telling you, I've kind of been dreading making any sort of editorial comment or opinion on Waitangi Day. Not because I don't think it's significant, but because I feel an expectation to say something about its importance in our calendar, how it's an opportunity to reflect on our history, and how we should use it to think about the way ahead. Or something like that. I'm not about to deny that it's an important day - especially for iwi and the Crown within the context of Treaty
