There's a view Netflix isn't paying enough attention to New Zealand's screen industry. The movie and TV streaming corporation is setting up an office in Sydney to take care of Australia and New Zealand. So far, the content and commissioning has been heavily based across the ditch. Screen Production and Development Association President Irene Gardiner told Mike Hosking that some international productions have been shot in New Zealand, and they’ve bought the odd pre-existing show, when it comes to

Jamie Oliver has built a culinary empire. He’s a household name in the kitchen, writing 23 cookbooks and selling over 46 million copies. Oliver sprung into the spotlight 25 years ago with ‘The Naked Chef’, a BBC Two cooking show that ran for three series. He landed the role after he appeared in the background of a BBC documentary about The River Cafe in Fulham, where he was working as a sous-chef at the time. Oliver told Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking that he got lucky. “It was never planned,” he

The Government's released a new child and youth strategy, with a focus on supporting children and their families in the first 2000 days. It aims to lift 17,000 children out of material hardship by 2027. 2000 days is just over five years. Child Poverty Reduction Minister Louise Upston told Mike Hosking the Government needs to focus its efforts – if they attempt too many things, they won't achieve anything. She says this is a plan to work across government ministers' departments to get things done

The Transport Agency's spending is in the spotlight. The Transport Minister's calling NZTA's costs “eye-watering” and excessive after revealing a near $800 million spend on traffic management over the past three years. Simeon Brown says a new framework is coming to reduce costs. Traffic Direct General Manager Dev Strause told Mike Hosking it will be made, but change doesn't happen overnight.

Minister of Justice Paul Goldsmith says people who are convicted of sexual crimes getting name suppression is “a massive issue”. “Particularly for the victims, they can’t talk about what’s happened to them and they can’t warn others," Goldsmith told Mike Hosking. “We’ve decided you only get permanent name suppression if you’re a convicted sex offender if the victim agrees. And if the victim doesn’t agree? Well, tough luck, you’re not going to get it and you should own up to your crimes. “That’s the

I think at times the Commerce Commission has an easy job in the sense it starts out life, in appearance anyway, as being on “our side. "Our” side being the people's side. We need a hero, a protector to keep the big bad boys away from our lives and wallets. Lately though, they look like they might have a large legal budget that someone has told them to spend or else they will lose it. So out come the lawyers to take on Starlink over their claims about being able to text anywhere in the country. This

Seasons are changing when it comes to secondary school sports. In just over a year’s time, basketball is set to become the most popular sport, with participation jumping 61% since 2000. However, there’s now concerns that New Zealand is 500 courts short to support the growing popularity. School Sport NZ CEO Mike Summerell told Mike Hosking that while schools have great facilities they can only cater for the smaller games, and national competitions are maxing the current facilities out.

There's hopes New Zealand's efforts to stop smoking don't go up in smoke. The latest New Zealand Health Survey shows daily smoking rates have remained steady over the past year. They were just under 7%, which is down from 13% five years ago. Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking we might be tripping at the finish line.

The good news about the arrival of the protest is that after today, it's over. This has been one of the more misrepresented activities in recent years. It's hard to know what it is actually about, or whether those taking part even know what it's about. Is it about the Treaty Principles Bill? Is it about a general attitude towards the Government and their Māori policies? Is it a PR stunt for the Māori Party? And perhaps most importantly of all - what does it achieve? The answer, of course, is
