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

The problem with Red Bull and Liam Lawson is several fold. One, the most egregious part is, if the reports are true, that Honda offered another $10 million to get their man Yuki Tsunoda in the seat. This is not new, they have done so before but were rebuffed. Two, next weekend would be the first track Liam had actually driven on previously. Red Bull would have known this when they hired him. To have two races on unknown tracks is pretty tough. Three, they hung in with other drivers who struggled a

A significant part is due to the Live Aid concert and Geldof’s activism – which is part of the reason he’s made his way to our shores. Geldof has a couple of dates lined up in New Zealand, coinciding with the 40th anniversary of Live Aid and the 50th anniversary of the Boomtown Rats. The show’s called ‘An Evening with Bob
