Rotorua locals are calling for all of the city's emergency motels to be shut down right away. The Government's applied to keep seven motels operating after their resource consents expire in December. Independent commissioner David Hill will look at 176 submissions and decide whether to renew them. Of the 37 submitters, 36 are against. Rotorua District Residents and Ratepayers chair Reynold Macpherson told Mike Hosking that they don’t have any faith in the commission process. He said that it’s

School lunches look to open up a number of opportunities for businesses. The Government says it's saving $130 million a year by reducing the cost per meal from $8 to $3. The Compass Group has been contracted as the lead supplier. Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking other businesses will be able to get involved. He says that for example, the programme will need 18 tonnes of chicken a fortnight, so there will be opportunities in that. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener

The city's Long Term Plan's being re-written after the city u-turned on its decision to sell its shares in Wellington Airport. There's also been a raft of issues around the council table. Local Government Minister Simeon Brown cited councillors walking out of meetings and refusing to participate in votes as rationale for intervention.

New research has revealed pipfruit export growth is outstripping national export growth. The industry contributed just under $2 billion to New Zealand's economy last year. Export value increased from $347 million in 2012 to more than $892 million in 2023. Apple and Pears chairperson Lesley Wilson told Mike Hosking the regional impacts are huge. She says they're the third-highest contributor to Hawke's Bay's GDP, second in Tasman, and Gisborne is also third largest growing region. LISTEN ABOVESee

There are more people than ever with private medical insurance. In a so-called “cost of living crisis”, over 15,000 more people joined Southern Cross last year – and that’s just one company. They now have almost a million customers. Having delt with my company recently over a series of issues, I can inform you I pay over $4000 a year and I have never made a claim in my life. So far, they are winning. But I know a person who had an operation the other day that had a value attached of $40 thousand. It

There's disagreement as the Government toughens up its Three Strikes rule for offenders. It's lowering the threshold for a first strike warning from 24 months imprisonment to 12 months. It's also agreed to activate strike warnings for people who commit any of 42 qualifying offences. Law Association Vice President Julie-Anne Kincade told Mike Hosking there's no evidence this will help. She says everyone wants less crime, but this is going to put people in prison who shouldn't necessarily be there

Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking Bayly didn't know the person, and he isn't aware of any connection between Bayly and the company.

A very good victory on Friday for common sense. The Solicitor-General fell on her sword over the instructions to the prosecution service promoting race. It was Monday, this time last week we raised it because it seemed scandalous. How did this happen? How does a Government so explicitly state the race card is no longer being played in policy settings, and yet the Solicitor-General is saying what she is to the police, having been advised by a radical-sounding Maori group, drummed up out of Andrew
