The Government's re-prioritising funding from an unaccredited te reo programme for teachers into new maths curriculum resources and teacher guidance. The Education Minister says there's no evidence the te reo programme directly helped student achievement, and it's more than double the cost of similar courses. Primary teachers can select resources this year for delivery in term 1. Erica Stanford told Mike Hosking they always knew they had to provide high-quality resources like lesson plans and

So for what I think is the fourth time in a week, we hear from Tory Whanau. This is a problem in itself because in the third interview, or possibly her fourth she has given, she reveals that originally she thought mayors flew below the radar. So in her ongoing quest not to fly below the radar she also reveals, in her third or possibly fourth interview, that the advice she has been getting about all the trouble she has found herself in has come from her friends, many of whom worked for —are you

There's concern for wider conflict in the Middle East as Israel and Hezbollah trade strikes. Israel's Defence Force says its mission is to stop the Iranian-backed Hezbollah firing rockets into Israel's north, and to push it back from the border. Lebanon's health ministry says around 500 people have been killed in air strikes. Journalist and analyst Gideon Levy told Mike Hosking there's no incentive, mediator or leadership in stopping it. He said that Israel insists on its own conditions,

The company, which owns Pak'n'Save and New World, installed the technology in the stores for a six-month test.

So how did he find his time in the job? What have the results been from Foodstuffs facial recognition trial and will it be brought out all around the country?

Kiwis are drinking increasingly less cow's milk. Around 1.2 million fewer glasses are consumed every year, fuelling health concerns. There's been a 17 % decline in the last two decades. ABC Nutrition's Angela Berrill told Mike Hosking it's largely due to the rapid rise of plant-based alternatives. She said it could be concerning if people reduce their dairy and milk intake but don't get calcium from other sources, as there may be an increased risk of osteoporosis and bone fractures when the

There’s a belief that cracking down on abuse against public transport workers will help address a wider societal issue. The Government is set to make it an aggravating factor in court after noting a worrying increase in abuse to staff and passengers. Local authorities will soon be able to apply for funding to make safety improvements, including safety screens and real-time CCTV monitoring.

A couple of things interested me with the Government's back-to-work edict: 1) We need a back-to-work edict and the fact we haven't had one until now. 2) Sadly, the admission no one knows what the hell is going on, who is where, what percentage of time people aren't there, how many aren't there, when they are or are not there compared with any other piece of the public service, etc. It's Mickey Mouse stuff.

Geothermal emissions of methane and CO2 could soon be put to good use. Work is underway in Rotorua to create livestock feed from the gasses in world-first research that could net the country $500 million by 2045.

Kiwifruit exports are winning gold this year. Exports were valued at $3.1 billion in the year to August - the highest value point ever. It's a 20% increase from 2023, and $524 million jump. Kiwifruit Growers CEO Colin Bond told Mike Hosking the top destination for green kiwifruit is Europe, while China's the top market for gold. He says Europeans have always recognised the health benefits of green, and China has no shortage of green fruit, so are more keen on new varieties. LISTEN ABOVE See
