Mike's Minute: Our farming land is our calling card

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/12/04

An interesting, but good, move on forestry and farming. It is another example of practical thinking and application in an area that relied, to be frank, on laziness to solve a problem. Ever since we became obsessed with climate change and we became obsessed with things that might or might address climate change, the low hanging fruit has been trees and carbon markets. Carbon markets, as we have seen yet again this year, don't work. The government has mucked with the rules, changed the prices,

The days of having your flight delayed by fog could soon be over. Every year, the airline industry loses a collective $13 billion as flights are delayed or cancelled due to foggy conditions. Pyper Vision is aiming to solve this problem, with new technology that predicts fog and prevents delays. Founder Emily Blythe told Mike Hosking that they’ve built an initial model that can predict fog more accurately than traditional models, although they it still has a way to go in terms of lifting

The Citizen's Advice Bureau says it isn't a surprise that MSD incorrectly processed 1-in-4 benefit entitlements. The Ministry of Social Development's revealed its accuracy has slipped over the past few years, largely due to system and resource challenges. CAB Deputy Chief Executive Andrew Hubbard says the stat stacks up with inconsistencies it's hearing from clients.

The French government has collapsed. Prime Minister Michel Barnier has been ousted in a no-confidence vote just three months after he was appointed by President Emmanuel Macron. Newstalk ZB's Paris correspondent Catherine Field says the right and the Government are warning the no confidence vote will result in chaos, and plunge France into the "unknown". Field says it's the first time since 1962 that a French prime minister has lost a vote of confidence. She says Macron last week began asking around

There's hopes new legislation will protect the most productive farmland. The rule change will stop Category 1 to 5 land being converted into forestry. Those with category 6 land will only be allowed to convert 15 thousand hectares. Federated Farmers forestry spokesperson Toby Williams told Mike Hosking that it restores the balance between farming and production forestry, and makes sure they’re playing on an even field.

The Government's paying little attention to global action around climate change. A coalition-appointed panel's suggesting New Zealand weaken its current 2050 climate target of up to 47% less emissions than 2017. It's offered a new target of just 15%. Agriculture Minister Todd McClay told Mike Hosking the rest of the world needs to step up, but we only need to focus on New Zealand. He says we don't need to lead the world or do more than others, and the Government will likely just focus on our

From our “it worked fine, even though many didn’t think it would” file, there are two things to mention. Thing number one is the benefit sanctions the handwringers argued were unfair and not nice. It turns out virtually no one has hit red. Remember it was the green, orange, red system? All the Government ever asked in introducing them was for you to do your bit. You are not sanctioned for not having a job. You are sanctioned for not trying. Virtually everyone is doing their bit, as only 1% are in

Tourism operators are reaping the benefits of a boost in international visitor spending, but believe there's more work to do. International visitor spending has risen by 30% in the year to September. It's grown to just under $11 billion. Tourism Holdings Chief Executive Grant Webster told Mike Hosking it's around 85% of pre-Covid levels, and they have to focus on growth.

Levy told Mike Hosking he's confident Health New Zealand will be at zero deficit in three years, assuming nothing unexpected happens.

Wool sector advocates are disappointed with housing agency Kainga Ora for saying no to pricey wool carpets. A prior directive suggested Kainga Ora should choose wool over synthetic fibres for carpets, but the state landlord has chosen the latter as it's around 34% cheaper. Bremworth Chief Executive Greg Smith told Mike Hosking they were not asked to participate in the procurement process. He says nylon and wool are often comparable in price, and is unsure where Kainga Ora got their numbers from

France’s Government seems to be on the brink of collapse. It looks likely to fall apart later this week after far-right and left-wing parties said they will vote for a no-confidence motion against Prime Minister Michel Barnier. The move comes after Barnier pushed through the 2025 social security budget without a vote. France Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that even if Barnier wins this vote, it’s only part of the battle, as he will still need to get the rest of the budget through
