Fluoride is a funny thing. I like it. Not too much, but just enough to help out in the water. Not everyone shares the view, but science is on the right side. Before he left his job Ashley Bloomfield (remember him?) issued an edict to a number of councils to fluoridate the local water. He had the power to compel them to do it. Most have, some have had a bit of an angst about it. Tauranga wasn’t thrilled, but the problem was if you didn’t, you could be fined a couple of hundred grand and then $10,000

Ivan Cleary is the most successful sports coach in Australia. A former Warriors coach, Cleary has led the Penrith Panthers to victory, claiming the NRL Grand Final four times in a row. He’s now co-authored a book all about leadership and success, detailing, as Cleary puts it, what he’s learned and how he leads. ‘Not Everything Counts but Everything Matters’ reflects on the decades he’s spent on both sides of the game, as both a player and a coach, his mental health, and the time he spent coaching

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Tuesday 3rd of December, the benefit numbers are up, and the lower target set by the Government is the one most at risk of not being hit.

There’s a chance for the Government to reset, with a successful appeal from the Attorney-General offering more clarity on Māori customary rights to the foreshore and seabed. The Supreme Court's rejected a Court of Appeal judgment as a narrow interpretation of criteria. It's unanimously ruled applicants must use and occupy an area, and maintain this use without substantial interruption. Thorndon Chambers barrister Max Harris told Mike Hosking the Supreme Court's cleared up a lot of the details. He

A variety of barriers still exist for some people looking for work. The number of people on the Job Seeker benefit increased by 8,000 in the September quarter to sit at 70,000. Whangarei New Focus Career Guidance Service founder Muriel Willem says some people are missing skills in areas like computers. She told Mike Hosking that at the moment, even people without those barriers are finding it tough. Willem says that's because there just aren't that many jobs out there. LISTEN ABOVESee

Health New Zealand says it's committed to reaching a settlement with nurses. About 36,000 nurses, midwives, and health workers walk off the job between 11am and 7pm today. They say they're overworked and understaffed, which is threatening patient safety. Health New Zealand Deputy Chief Executive Mark Shepherd told Mike Hosking he's disappointed nurses are striking so early in the bargaining process. But he says hospitals are fully prepared to manage the strikes. LISTEN ABOVESee

There's confidence from the Ministry for Primary Industries that a bird flu strain will be eradicated. Around 80,000 chickens are set to be slaughtered after the disease was found at a Mainland Poultry-owned property at Moeraki in Otago yesterday. A second barn tested positive last night, but neither is the strain circulating in wildlife globally. MPI Director-General Ray Smith told Mike Hosking they're mapping half a dozen properties with links to the farm. He says it'll take a couple of weeks

The National Public Health Service is exactly what's wrong with this country. The Health Minister, who shouldn't have had to, intervened in their submission to the district council looking at the application for McDonald's in Wanaka. Why was the health service offering a submission? Because the council asked them to. So who is more at fault (the answer is of course both of them), the council for creating work and waste, or the service for creative work and waste? The health service, among other

Options are now with MBIE – but what would a sovereign satellite mean for us? Auckland University physics professor Richard Easther joined Mike Hosking.

Ukraine and Russia look to be heading towards a ceasefire - but it could be messy. Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy's hinting he'd temporarily cede territory to Russia – if the whole country's extended an invite to NATO. Former UK Defence Attaché in Moscow John Foreman told Mike Hosking both Ukraine and Russia seem to be trying to influence Donald Trump ahead of him taking office – but Trump's kept his cards close to his chest.

An early Christmas present for the Coromandel Peninsula as the walking track to Hahei's Cathedral Cove reopens. It closed in Feburary last year because of damage caused in Cyclone Gabrielle. Thames-Coromandel Mayor Len Salt says combined with the reopening of State Highway 25A, the region is ready for a busy summer. He told Mike Hosking the next step will be repairing other tracks in the area. “Not just down to the Cove, but the other bays. We’ve got Gemstone Bay and Stingray Bay which is still

Labour leader Chris Hipkins believes AUKUS is not in New Zealand's best interest. His party has ruled out joining the transnational pact between Australia, the UK, and the US. The current Government's considering joining pillar two of the agreement - with non-nuclear aspects. Chris Hipkins told Mike Hosking we should continue to have good, strategic relationships – and recognise some other partners are not happy with AUKUS. “If you look at the way it’s perceived internationally, including in our

Donald Trump's nomination of loyalist Kash Patel for FBI director could be his most contentious yet. Patel's widely considered controversial for his comments about shutting down the FBI headquarters and ceding all power to the President. He's also spoken about coming after the media – and offering retribution to his enemies inside government.

A belief Labour missed out on opportunities when announcing its position on AUKUS. The party has promised not to sign up to the international security pact – a partnership between Australia, Britain, and the United States. Former Labour leader Andrew Little told Mike Hosking he wants more of an indication on how those relationships would be managed in the future. “So if we’re not signing up to that, we still have to have a relationship with them – or we’re going to – and still need new defence kit.”

Lower numbers of drownings are a blip and not yet a trend. 61 lives have been lost in water-related incidents this year – 26 percent down compared to the 10-year average. Water Safety New Zealand says there needs to be more education in schools and a standardisation because each school is learning something different. Chief Executive Daniel Gerrard told Mike Hosking there are still massive gaps. “27 percent of eight-year-olds can’t even float for two minutes. That’s in a nice warm pool, you put

It's called an election. Capital Gains Tax: 6/10 The debate and the vote this weekend. If Labour wants to enhance their chances of two, if not three, terms in Opposition, yes is the way to vote.
