2024/11/26

A former Reserve Bank economist says there's a case for the Reserve Bank cutting the Official Cash Rate by 75 basis points. The Reserve Bank will release its latest decision today. It's widely expected to cut the rate by 50-basis points from 4.75% to 4.25%. Former reserve bank economist Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking the Reserve Bank's view of an OCR of 2.5-3% as being neutral is the best guess. He says we genuinely won't know until after we've got there and seen the inflationary

There are calls for more discussion around genetic modification. An Institute of Economic Research report, commissioned by Organics Aotearoa New Zealand, reveals genetic modification could reduce the value of primary sector exports by up to $20 billion a year. It estimates GMO-free branding adds an extra 59% on the value of our exports. Organics NZ chief executive Tiffany Tompkins told Mike Hosking there's a range of opinion on the subject. She says the Government should slow down, open up the

2024/11/25

John Grisham is no stranger to success, having written 50 consecutive number one best sellers. When he’s not writing, he works for the Innocence Project and Centurion Ministries, helping get innocent people released from prison. A majority of his work are legal thrillers, but this time he’s taking a step into a realm he’s less familiar with: nonfiction. ‘Framed’ is Grisham’s second nonfiction book, detailing the true accounts of ten people who were wrongfully convicted. He told Mike Hosking that he

A capital gains tax is a no-brainer, according to a former Labour Party leader. The topic is understood to be on the agenda at the party's conference in Christchurch this weekend, with members deciding whether to continue work on the proposal. David Cunliffe told Mike Hosking he believes most in the party would be keen on the tax. When it comes to voters, he says that capital gains taxes have actually polled really well in the last couple of elections, and one could say that its polled better than

The new top cop says Aucklanders will be feeling better about a police station in the city's centre. Police plan to have the new Federal Street base open to the public by the middle of next year. It will sit close to Aotea Square and the new CRL station, making it easier to deploy officers right across the central city. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking that soon we'll have 51 beats working 24/7 around the community, increasing visibility and safety. He says it's back to

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the “more tax, more borrowing” of the last Labour Government hadn’t worked. “The decision for New Zealand is really about getting this country growing,” he told Mike Hosking. One of the areas they’ve been focusing on in order to do so has been education. Luxon said he was unaware of schools not getting necessary maths resources, and disagrees with the teachers unions, who say the Government has rushed the new curriculum through. “We got a set of results that

More schools are dropping NCEA Level 1. An Education Review Office review has found it's not a fair or reliable measure of knowledge and skills, and needs substantial change. Less than three-quarters of schools plan to offer NCEA Level 1 next year. ERO's Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that in more affluent communities, it's less than half. She says three quarters of school leaders say the credits students receive don't reflect an equal amount of work or degree of difficulty. LISTEN ABOVESee

Australian police arrested 170 climate activists over the weekend after their floating blockade briefly disrupted activity at one of the world’s largest coal ports. The fleet of kayaks, paddle boards and inflatable boats blocked the entrance to the Port of Newcastle, which exports millions of tonnes of coal each year. Police said on Sunday evening 156 adults and 14 youths had been arrested and charged with offences including 'disruption of a major facility'. Australian correspondent Steve Price says

Mike's Minute: TJ Perenara haka is a sign of the times

2024/11/24

Surely the TJ Perenara performance is a sign of the times? How far back (small clue, not far) do you need to go to think that this sort of extra curricular activity would never have even been close to being countenanced by an All Black squad? Not long ago, essentially, sport was sport. It got political in the Springbok apartheid era, but that was politics from the outside in, not the other way around. It was Perenara's last time in the jersey, so why not leave with a message? I think that would be

Donald Trump's filling out his Cabinet - with some unconventional picks in the mix. The President-elect's selections are raising questions over whether some people are up to the job. It's thought locking in Trump's defence pick Pete Hesgeth and intelligence pick Tulsi Gabbard - both of Fox News - could prove difficult.

Questions over whether New Zealand's regional airport security measures are up to scratch. Stuff reports gangs are travelling between our smaller centres to traffic drugs around the country, where there's little risk of having their bags scanned. Current security settings mean flights with fewer than 90 passengers are unlikely to go through screenings. Former Detective Inspector Lance Burdett told Mike Hosking it's an unusual arrangement. “It just concerns me. I was taught perhaps it was to do with

A climate academic says the COP climate conferences have achieved little in actually cutting emissions. It comes as COP29 takes place in Azerbaijan, with a new deal forged which will see developing countries supported to the tune of $500 billion to manage climate impacts. But Victoria University's Adrian Macey told Mike Hosking more must be done, and thinks the conferences have become unproductive. “We go into each COP saying: ‘this is the last chance to save the planet and if we fail here, there’ll

Youth vaping rates in New Zealand have dropped more than 50 per cent over the past three years, but one headmaster's calling for stronger regulation. An annual youth vaping survey's found a promising drop in secondary school aged children vaping. It's consistent with what Auckland Grammar's Tim O'Connor's been seeing. But he told Mike Hosking it remains a significant issue for young people. “I still think there’s something that needs to be done about the ready access of vapes – these vape stores

NCEA achievement levels have dropped since the Covid-19 pandemic. More students are leaving school with Level 3 pre-pandemic – but now achievement levels have dropped to where they were a decade ago. The number leaving before their 17th birthday without Level 3 or university entrance is a major factor. There have been steeper drops in Levels 1 and 2. Education Hub founder Dr Nina Hood told Mike Hosking during Covid, children missed out on a lot of schooling and didn't have as much teaching. “The
