An estimated 35,000 people marched in Dunedin over proposed downgrades to the city’s new hospital project. Protesters were calling on the Government to keep its promise on the build - but the Government says the project is blowing out by billions and overspend would affect infrastructure in other regions. Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop tells Heather du Plessis-Allan “it’s an extremely complex project” and the Government is being as transparent as it can be. LISTEN ABOVESee

Mike's Minute: The public transport conundrum

2024/09/27

Have a look at the report out in Sydney into their new metro line. This is the $21b behemoth that opened a few weeks ago that was going to transform Sydney's public transport. It seems, at first report, to be working – and in that is the clue to public transport generally and whether or not it is successful. The trouble with transport here, and let's be honest, we are really only talking about a couple of cities i.e. Wellington and Auckland that in theory have systems outside of a few random buses

Health NZ will be weighing up the two options for the new Dunedin Hospital. An independent review has found the current plan for Dunedin Hospital, is 'probably not achievable' within its current budget of $1.88 billion. The Government has said it either needs to scale back the project's main building or swap it out in favour of a "staged development" on the old site to keep it within the budget.

It’s a sad day for Timaru, with hundreds of meatwork jobs potentially on the line. Alliance Group has called everyone at its Smithfield meatworks to an all-staff meeting at 11am. Locals fear the plant will be mothballed this season, with production being moved to Invercargill, and up to 1200 people left out of work.

Mike's Minute: Transpower isn't the only one at fault

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/09/25

I can't help but think the Transpower report into the pylon falling over is one of those reports that has to find things to say because the real reason for the report was obvious. Nevertheless, there are 26 recommendations. To recap, the company that Transpower hires to maintain the pylons hired a couple of clowns and didn’t train them. They undid a lot of bolts, and the pylon fell over. The report suggests that ultimately is Transpower's fault. I don’t see how. If you hire a painter and he
