2023/11/08

Employees are going above and beyond, often without compensation for it. A Hays Recruitment survey's found overtime increased in more than a third of organisations last year. It also found overtime was unpaid in 30% of organisations. Frog Recruitment Managing Director Shannon Barlow told Kate Hawkesby that often people do what's needed to get the job done. She says there's also been a shift for employees wanting to protect their roles and making a personal decision to work more than they're

2023/11/07

I’m not surprised Chris Hipkins is staying on as leader. I mean let’s face it, one, who else have they got? And two, when you’re a career politician, what else is it you’re going to do at this point? But it’s the best possible option for Labour I reckon. He’s adept at politics and playing the media – and those two things go hand in hand these days. He’s quick on his feet, he’s an attack dog – which is what opposition is all about. But how attack-y is the potential problem for him... as in, is he too

Teachers from about 100 early childhood centres will strike today. They're part of the Early Childhood Education Collective Agreement and say negotiations have reached an impasse. NZEI says the government funding model isn't fit for purpose. Montessori New Zealand chief executive Cathy Wilson told Kate Hawkesby that the incoming National government has said they'll initiate a funding model review. She says the funding model is challenging, the funding is inadequate, and it's easy to get into

The Electoral Commission is looking to see whether discrepancies at three polling places are isolated or more widespread. It's launched a check of all voting place results after our newsroom picked up errors at two polling places at Port Waikato, and one polling place in Ilam. More than 500 votes at one polling place were wrongly assigned to the Leighton Baker Party, rather than National. Political commentator and former United Future Leader Peter Dunne told Kate Hawkesby that it's one of several

Businesses being left frustrated about transport changes in Auckland's city centre is being put down to poor communication. Auckland Transport has decided to remove all car parking on Karangahape Road and restrict the times on loading zones to allow room for a new bus service. Businesses say they've been given very little notice. Infrastructure New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett told Kate Hawkesby that no shop owner should wake up and find their loading bays are all but gone. He says

Labour's caucus will this morning begin picking up the pieces of its election loss at a special caucus meeting in Wellington. As well as the party's direction and the election of whips, MPs will participate in a leadership confidence vote. Political Commentator Grant Duncan told Kate Hawkesby that while there are some great people on that team, there’s no obvious rising star to take Hipkins’ place as leader. He said that in order for Labour to succeed, they need to think about how they’re going

Ninety percent of Queenstown hostels and backpackers are at capacity ahead of summer. It comes as a third of hostels have shut down post pandemic, and many tourism operators are expecting a surge in visitors over the next few months. Backpacker Youth Adventure Tourism Association Chairman Haydn Marriner told Kate Hawkesby that he's putting it down to a lack of available housing in Queenstown. He says the massive oversupply of Airbnbs is causing huge problems for the region's rental

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2023/11/06

So, exams are now underway for NCEA for High Schoolers who‘ve had —to be frank— a pretty crappy couple of years post Covid at school. Disruptions due to strikes, floods, weather... and that was all after they were just getting their feet back under the desks post lockdowns. So not a great few years for those trying to head to Uni in a couple of years time. But I know that in my many cases, teachers have worked really hard to get everybody up to speed and make up for lost time. It’s tough though

Several horses have New Zealand connections, including Kiwi jockey James McDonald and Sydney-based Kiwi trainer Chris Waller. Melbourne Cup correspondent Donna Demaio told Kate Hawkesby that there'll be an electric atmosphere. She says 24 local and international horses will be racing around the track at Flemington, with $9

2023/11/06

New Zealand parents are becoming more relaxed about device use and safety. A survey by NIB has found device use and screentime is still a concern for 73% of surveyed parents, but only 46% are limiting screentime. That's down from 51% in 2021. Parenting expert Anna Martin told Kate Hawkesby that the pandemic has had an impact. She says research suggests that parents relaxed their attitude to online use during Covid, as it was helpful in allowing them to have some personal time. LISTEN

National doesn't know whether deals will be done in time for incoming Prime Minister Chris Luxon to attend the Apec Leaders' Summit in San Francisco on Sunday.

Questions raised after an 18-hour long hostage situation at Germany's Hamburg Airport. A 35-year-old man, with his four-year-old daughter, drove through airport security and onto the tarmac - before parking his car underneath an aeroplane. The chaos, that suspended almost 290 flights involving more than 34-thousand passengers, was revealed to be over custody arrangements. Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby the man eventually gave himself up, with the girl unharmed. He says

So, we now know Winston’s in the mix in a real and tangible way. He’s needed. We can thank special votes for that. So, I’m trying to look for positives, and trust me, it’s not easy - but I found one. He at least has institutional knowledge of how parliament works, what being a politician means, and how the place functions. That’s a benefit to Luxon because that’s more than he’s got. Being a newbie, it’s all new to Luxon. So, you add one old dog and one newbie - and maybe there in the

New research finds 46% of kiwi jobseekers still experience barriers when finding work. The 2023 Randstad Employer Brand Research Survey found factors such as sexual orientation, disability, language, gender identity, and ethnicity to be a barrier when applying for and securing a job. It found that 28% of male candidates believed these factors resulted in them missing out on the role, and 22% of women refused to work for a company whose values don’t align with their own.

2023/11/02

Special votes, as I'm sure you know, are usually good for the left and National has said it expects to lose one or two seats from the election night count. If it was two, and even if the overhang goes, the maths is undeniable. It's a 120 seat Parliament, but that one-seat majority for the Nats and ACT is gone. And we all know what that means. I think Winston's petulant display in Wellington right after the election told us a lot about the way the new coalition is being drawn together. My read of

Her former in-laws Gail and Don Patterson as well as Gail's sister Heather all died from suspected toxic mushroom poisoning in July, and Gail's husband Ian was hospitalised. Three other charges relate to incidents in 2021 and 2022, as police allege a 48-year-old man became ill after meals. Australian correspondent Lesley

The future shape of our next government all comes out today. While the preliminary votes for the election were all counted up, the results of the around 570 thousand left over special votes will be released at two this afternoon. It will likely decide whether National and ACT will need New Zealand First to get into power. Political Editor Jason Walls told Tim Dower that the majority of special votes do tend to favour the left. He says people like John Key and Chris Bishop both expect to see

2023/11/01

A nutritionist would love to see confectionary moved away from the checkouts. Countdown's aiming to make healthier choices easier for customers, and combat checkout 'pester power'. The supermarket chain —soon to be Woolworths— has committed to 80% of foods at checkouts carrying a Health Star Rating of 3.5 or more. It's also moving "kids confectionary" elsewhere. Nutritionist Nikki Hart told Kate Hawkesby that it’s got to be better than the current trend. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener
