Mike's Minute: Confidence in our economy is growing

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/09/18

The good news is confidence in our economy is improving. It has been a decent week: farmers confidence is up and markedly, our confidence is up a bit —still overall pessimistic, but up nevertheless— and last week we saw business confidence rise a bit. Then come the newest numbers, our current account. It’s a mess. We are a mess. In essence we buy more from the world than we sell it, and given we are in the business of selling stuff, that doesn’t make us a very good business. Glass half full, the

But the Motor Trade Association says under Government control, it has become detached from the industry. Chief Executive Lee Marshall wants a transition to being industry owned and led. He says the sector is undergoing rapid change, and the training isn't keeping pace. LISTEN ABOVE See

But before that Child has released another project of his own, an action-packed short story collection called ‘Safe Enough: And Other Stories’. He told Mike Hosking that they’re stories he’s

A car, trailer, and small donated items were allegedly stolen from the sale's storage area at Ngongotaha Railway Park over the weekend.

Today's GDP figures are expected to show the economy weakened in the second quarter of this year. Analysts are forecasting a contraction between 0.1 and 0.5%. The first quarter of 2024 showed just 0.2% growth. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Mike Hosking June was the weakest month they've seen in a while. He says they expect it to have gone backwards again in Q3, but it will be a finely balanced thing – they're forecasting minus 0.2. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for

The Government's announced attendance, achievement, and financial targets for charter schools. The schools must meet the targets or risk interventions, including possibly having their contract ended. Associate Education Minister David Seymour told Mike Hosking Charter Schools have the same goals as state schools, such as 95% getting NCEA level two and 80% regularly attending. He says the difference is they're putting in hard minimums for Charter Schools, and if they don't achieve them, they'll

It's only when you read the full detail in the latest Taxpayers’ Union-Curia poll that you start to get a feel for where the Government currently sits. Firstly, the poll is for corporate clients and reportage is usually limited to a few basic numbers, i.e. National up or down a point and added together that means “x” number of seats in the house. The full report has the gold and everyone in corporate New Zealand will be seeing that this current Government is on somewhat of a roll. Here is the

New York Attorney Damien Williams alleges Combs created and ran a "criminal enterprise” through his business empire. He says he ran sex performances, which he called 'freak offs', for days at a time.

Justice is set to be served to nearly every member of the Comancheros motorcycle gang, but that won't be the end of New Zealand's drug trade. A three year police operation has resulted in 137 charges being laid. Canterbury University sociology professor Jarrod Gilbert says it's decimated the Comancheros, and sends a message that any high profile organised crime group has a large target on their back. But he says we can't expect this to significantly disrupt drug trade long term - as supply

There’s an increasing demand for growers in Canterbury. A reliable water supply and cheaper land than Marlborough and Hawke's Bay are attracting horticulture suppliers to the region. Vegetables NZ chair John Murphy says it's great to see things like Rockit apples grown in South Canterbury. He told Mike Hosking it will help achieve the goal of doubling export values, and new opportunities mean fresh produce can continue to be supplied to New Zealand.

There are concerns over young New Zealanders' ability to handle adversity. New figures show more than 21% of 15 to 24 year olds face psychological struggles.

Dr Felicia Low is behind the report and told Mike Hosking the numbers are deeply troubling. She says we know young people aren't doing well, and we have to act on it.

Mike's Minute: We need minerals and can't ignore it

2024/09/16

The most telling part of the release of the draft of our critical minerals list is that we have never as a country developed a comprehensive picture of our mineral needs and weaknesses. The obvious question is: why not? Part of a strong resilient economy is when you do things yourself. As a small country we can't do everything because we don’t have domestic heft. We don’t have a natural domestic market for a lot of large-scale operations. So, in some cases where we do things at scale, we sell it
