There are fears big Wellington City Council budget cuts don't go far enough. The council yesterday voted in a mammoth meeting to make hundreds of millions of dollars of savings by slashing projects like cycleway spending, and demolishing Begonia House in the Botanic Gardens. Councillor Tony Randle told Mike Hosking the projects Mayor Tory Whanau managed to save, like the Golden Mile redevelopment and climate initiatives, should have been cut too.

It's widely expected to cut the rate by 50-basis points from 4.75% to 4.25%. Former reserve bank economist Michael Reddell told Mike Hosking the Reserve Bank's view of an OCR of 2.5-3% as being neutral is the best guess. He says we genuinely won't know until after we've got there and seen the inflationary

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the “more tax, more borrowing” of the last Labour Government hadn’t worked. “The decision for New Zealand is really about getting this country growing,” he told Mike Hosking. One of the areas they’ve been focusing on in order to do so has been education. Luxon said he was unaware of schools not getting necessary maths resources, and disagrees with the teachers unions, who say the Government has rushed the new curriculum through. “We got a set of results that

More schools are dropping NCEA Level 1. An Education Review Office review has found it's not a fair or reliable measure of knowledge and skills, and needs substantial change. Less than three-quarters of schools plan to offer NCEA Level 1 next year. ERO's Ruth Shinoda told Mike Hosking that in more affluent communities, it's less than half. She says three quarters of school leaders say the credits students receive don't reflect an equal amount of work or degree of difficulty. LISTEN ABOVESee

Mike's Minute: TJ Perenara haka is a sign of the times

2024/11/24

Surely the TJ Perenara performance is a sign of the times? How far back (small clue, not far) do you need to go to think that this sort of extra curricular activity would never have even been close to being countenanced by an All Black squad? Not long ago, essentially, sport was sport. It got political in the Springbok apartheid era, but that was politics from the outside in, not the other way around. It was Perenara's last time in the jersey, so why not leave with a message? I think that would be
