I was going to suggest we are petty, but I have been saved by the Brits. They are having a couple of debates over money. One is involving a woman called Sue Gray, who has quit, and the other is over the role of Cabinet Secretary, which is the country's top civil servant, a job which is currently vacant given the incumbent stepped down for health reasons. As it turned out, Sue Gray was earning more than the Prime Minister which, for reasons I'm not entirely sure about, needed to be turned into a

The UK Prime Minister’s chief of staff has quit her role, saying she “risked becoming a distraction”. Sue Gray was caught up in a conflict over pay, after the BBC revealed that her salary was higher than Prime Minister Sir Kier Starmer’s. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that this is quite a remarkable decision. He said that in the last six to eight months, Starmer hasn’t sacked anyone despite there being calls. Liddle says the howl within his own camp had become so grave that he

The rubber has hit the road in the US Election. Just one month out from voting, the debates have been wrapped up and the only thing left is for the candidates to continue campaigning. It’s a tight race, with Kamala Harris maintaining a narrow lead in key battleground states. Former US Correspondent Nick Bryant told Mike Hosking that Harris has turned out to be a better candidate than many expected. He said that while there has been some mixed messaging and Harris has some weaknesses, she is a

Mortgage rates are continuing to fall, but it isn't getting any easier for many people to access bank loans. Latest figures from interest.co.nz show one-year mortgage rates have fallen to around 6.33%, down from about 7.35% in January. But banks have told our newsroom they're still testing applicants at between 8.5 and 8.7%. Loan Market Mortgage Advisor Bruce Patten told Mike Hosking that banks are being overly cautious at the moment. He said that it won’t be until inflation rates get back to normal

TVNZ's potentially looking at a challenge as it looks to further compete against streaming sites. The state broadcaster's consulting with staff on shutting its 1News website in February and investing in streaming service TVNZ+. TVNZ has a savings target of $30 million and has already axed its midday and late night news bulletins, as well as said goodbye to its 'Fair Go' show.

Moves have been made by the Chief of Navy to shut down speculation about the loss of the Manawanui. The $100 million naval vessel was surveying the area off Samoa's coast on Saturday, when it hit a reef and sank the following day. Most of the 75 rescued crew members have returned to New Zealand, with the final few flying back today. Divers are heading out to the site today to assess the depth, the condition of the ship, and any presence of oil. Rear Admiral Garin Golding told Mike Hosking a Court

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says his Associate Minister of Justice (Firearms) Nicole McKee is not a liar and is doing a good job as minister. “She still holds the position that high-capacity magazines need restrictions on them,” Luxon told Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking Breakfast. “The Arms Act is 40 years old, so it does need some reviewing," he said. “It’s entirely appropriate we revisit the Arms Act and make sure it’s fit for purpose.

David Seymour is looking forward to discussing his Treaty Principles Bill with a Ngati Toa leader tonight. Helmut Modlik will debate Seymour two months after Modlik called him out. A draft of Seymour's Bill will be ready for public release and discussion next month, but National says it will support the bill only to its first reading. The ACT leader told Mike Hosking the debate is needed, because people think others can't have an opinion on something they're not an expert on. He says New Zealand

Possibly my favourite stat from the Census was that home ownership is up. Who would have thought? Well, those of us that follow facts would. But the commentary around housing, sadly, is dictated to us by pressure groups whose best interest is served by telling us how broke we all are, and abetted by a media who sadly don’t ask a lot of questions any more and more often than not simply parrot whatever the press release of the day says. So, the message is portrayed as one of being unable to

A former media boss says Google's threat to blow up New Zealand news agreements should be taken seriously. The search engine says it will remove any ability to find New Zealand news on its platform — if the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill passes later this year. The legislation would force global tech giants to negotiate with media companies and pay fornews content.

All 75 people onboard were rescued before the vessel went down.

Police in New South Wales have settled for a pro-Palestinian vigil set to take place this week, after earlier attempts with the state’s top court to ban two pro-Palestinian rallies fell through. Next Monday marks the one-year anniversary of Hamas’s attacks on Israel and the start of the conflict in Gaza - and police hoped to stop any rally taking place on that date.
