Mike's Minute: Is the "need" for charities dropping?

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2025/02/13

Who knew helping charities was so hard? Or to put it another way, who knew charities were doing so well? We have had a clean up and clean out. We are shifting and shuffling and de-cluttering. This happens a bit at our house – I married a person who loves stuff, until they don’t. It hasn’t applied to me yet, but it applies to a lot of other stuff. Tables and chairs and clothes are in the current pile. So rather than dump them we ring people. We ring hospice - they are full. We ring SPCA - they are

The Government is being urged to make healthy national food supply a priority. Growers can currently only farm vegetables with consent from regional authorities and want changes as part of resource management reform.

Like most things in life, there is nuance and subtlety that is lost along the way. David Seymour is of a personality that undoubtedly gets up the noses of some. He might even bother the Prime Minister periodically. But his Land Rover Escapade is not a sackable offence. Neither is his letter written, not as a minister, for Polkinghorne a sackable offence. Even if you want to combine them and throw in the Treaty Principals Bill because he's agitated people with it, he is still not in sackable

A reminder landlords aren't privy to the personal information of their tenants. Privacy Commissioner Michael Webster says many renters feel the need during the busy rental season to disclose more about themselves to secure a flat.
