2025/03/06

Am I joining too many dots? I wonder aloud whether the Government and the Prime Minister, having had by any measure a very good week, has at last got the message that some action, as opposed to yak, might be what the punter wants a bit more of? There's been several solid health changes; more doctors already here to be parked at GP's, more nurses and scripts via tech when we want them. I mean, the idea that getting a script on the net at an hour that suits you really shouldn’t be a thing, but it does

A former High Commissioner to the UK says while they feel bad for Phil Goff, Winston Peters was right to sack him. The Foreign Minister stepped in to fire Goff over comments made questioning Donald Trump's understanding of history at a public event. Sir Lockwood Smith was in the role from 2013 to 2017 and told Mike Hosking those kinds of comments aren't acceptable.

The fact Adrian Orr is leaving is excellent. It shows a level of accountability and responsibility for what has been a ruinous period for the New Zealand economy. The receipts and reviews are in, and the story is stark. We have been hit harder than any other country in the OECD. We had three recessions while most countries, as a result of the Covid plan, had none. Grant Robertson carries some blame for encouraging and endorsing Orr but, more dangerously, reappointing him so close to the last

Northland has a bit of a problem – a horse poo problem. It’s enough of an issue that a bylaw is being considered that would hold riders accountable for their animal’s droppings. However, riders have expressed concern over the risks of collecting the manure near busy roads. Far North Deputy Mayor Kelly Stratford told Mike Hosking the bylaw wouldn’t impact people riding on roads, just those in public spaces like town squares. She said the consultation is making a mountain out of a molehill. LISTEN
