2024/10/24

Donald Trump has edged ahead of Kamala Harris in the latest polls, with less than two weeks until the US election. A Wall Street Journal poll shows the Republican two points ahead of the Democrat – a direct swap from when they last did the poll in August. A CNBC poll also shows Trump ahead of Harris by two points. US correspondent Mitch McCann told Mike Hosking potential reasons behind this shift are Trump's negative ads and Harris having a couple of shaky media appearances. He says Barack Obama's

There’s been a shift in when New Zealand will hit peak petrol imports. After initially predicting it will peak around next year, Channel Infrastructure says the early 2030s is now the more likely date. It comes as the company announced plans for an energy precinct at Marsden Point. Chief executive Rob Buchanan told Mike Hosking some of the reasons of this shift are reductions in vehicle kilometres travelled and the purchasing of new vehicles. He says they've also seen a dramatic reduction in EV

“It must be better than this” is the message from children's advocate Dame Lesley Max following the Chief Ombudsman's crack down on Oranga Tamariki. Peter Boshier has taken aim at the organisation over its handling of complaints against a man, accused of abusing his partner's young children, despite nine separate reports. Great Potentials Foundation Co-Founder, Max says it should not have gone unnoticed. She says it's striking there were nine reports of concern when in so many cases there are no

There’s going to be a major overhaul in the way the Government contracts social services.

Mike's Minute: Should NZ no longer be nuclear free?

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/10/23

We have to ask some simple questions around our attitude to nuclear and whether we are capable of becoming slightly more mature about it. This country got semi-famous for its anti-nuke stance. We are still anti-nuke, but we got famous a lifetime ago and the world has changed. Amazon and Google and Oracle are building their own nuclear reactors and, if not building, they are buying nuclear deals with places like Three Mile Island, which also a lifetime ago made headlines around the world. They need

The last time he was back on this side of the world was a couple of Christmases ago, but he told Mike Hosking that he likes to try visit every couple of years, escaping the milder LA January.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Thursday 24th of October, there’s yet more inequality and poor performance in our schools, according to a new report. Education Minister Erica Stanford talks the ever-growing job before her. We hear all the time about how good it is across the ditch, but a new report in the construction industry takes a closer look. Kiwi actor Craig Parker very rarely gets back to New Zealand, so while he’s here for a mystery film project and Armageddon, we had to

Some ambulance workers feel the Government's funding boost is too little, too late. The Government's increasing ambulance service funding by 6%. Hato Hone St John says the extra money has helped it settle pay disputes with unions, ending weeks of industrial action. First Union National Ambulance Coordinator Faye McCann told Mike Hosking that it hasn’t really fixed any of the problems they’re concerned about, but it has alleviated some of the financial burden people are facing.

The construction sector says the grass isn't always greener in Australia. New research suggests the long-held belief of Australia offering better financial opportunities in the industry than New Zealand may no longer be true. The Construction and Infrastructure Workforce Development Council says, in some cases, salary and housing prices paint New Zealand as the better option. Chief Executive Phil Aldridge told Mike Hosking that there’s a lot more to consider than just salaries. He said that the

Rising concerns from the farming sector as more land is sold off for forestry. Beef + Lamb's new research reveals more than 51,000 hectares have been sold since the end of 2022. It estimates almost one million stock units are lost for every 100,000 hectares planted. Chair Kate Acland told Mike Hosking the issue isn’t forestry as such, but rather the ETS settings..

Harris’ Campaign concerned about a potential crack in the ‘Blue Wall’, made up of Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania.

Who doesn’t love katsu chicken? And with the katsu chicken, and the wraps, and the lasagne, David Seymour has saved us $130m. All the moaners, whingers, whiners, and hand wringers can say sorry because it wasn’t the end of the world. Several crimes have been committed in the school lunch drama, which of course should never have been a drama because the previous Government, in yet another example of their wasteful, haphazard way of doing things, should never have got into the school lunch programme
