The All Blacks have had a hell of a start to their Northern Tour. They began their end of year international season with a dominating win over Japan, following it up by beating England at Twickenham. This weekend they’ll be facing Ireland, who they haven’t played since the Rugby World Cup semi-final. Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking that this is a massive weekend for the Irish, especially after what happened the last time they faced off.

Christchurch City Council is continuing to push back against KiwiRail's multimillion dollar safety improvement requirement, which has forced the closure of a cycleway. The freight transport company says a crossing on the Heathcote Expressway needs $6.5 million in safety upgrades because of the cycleway That could take two years. Councillor Aaron Keown told Mike Hosking he assumes they're referring to the gate systems. He says it's odd given the path doesn't cross there but runs beside the rail

A programme aimed at getting more under-served groups into medical school is being scrutinised. New research in today's New Zealand Medical Journal has found Otago University's affirmative action initiatives haven't increased the number of students from poorer backgrounds. Māori now make up 20% of enrolments, reaching parity with European and Asian enrolments for the first time. But Auckland University Emeritus Professor of Medicine Des Gorman told Mike Hosking the programme wasn't designed to just

He said the other parties see “that this far more constructive than anything they have seen before”. “I think it's very clear that more and more people see that this is an initiative that promotes equal rights.” He reiterated that Prime Minister Christopher Luxon had not taken him up on his multiple offers to “join the wagon”. “I think the National party is afraid of taking

World trade is ramping up rapidly ahead of the changeover of power to Donald Trump. The US President Elect has campaigned on an agenda of increased protectionism, with tariffs of up to 20% on all imports. He's also planning higher tariffs on Chinese goods, potentially setting the stage for another trade war. Mainfreight managing director Don Braid told Mike Hosking that if tariffs are applied, there'll be a price increase in some places. He says they are already seeing people filling their

The best thing about the result is you can't argue with it. You can hate it, but you can't argue with it. To win not just the College, but also the popular vote, gives the result a legitimacy that is rock solid. As I said yesterday, it's hard to know what the bigger deal is - a Trump victory or a Harris defeat? The Democrats will ask themselves how is it possible, with all their money, all their incumbency and all their endorsements, they could lose to that? The answer, of course, is obvious. That's

To some, it seems that kids these days just don’t want to work. Australian Gen Z’s have been labelled as ‘arrogant’ by recruiter Tammie Christofis Ballis from Realistic Careers, saying their expectations are leaving a “bad taste” in bosses’ mouths. Ballis claims kids have told her they won’t get out of bed for anything less than $100,000. Jane Lowney, Senior Director of Robert Walters Brisbane, told Mike Hosking that the belief is a little bit harsh. She says that when they surveyed 5000 workers

The results are expected to spark soul-searching in the Democrat Party. Donald Trump has secured the presidency after claiming more than the 270 Electoral College votes needed. Kamala Harris is set to officially concede the race after projections show her securing only 223 votes to Trump’s 276. Former BBC correspondent Nick Bryant told Mike Hosking one of the big 'what ifs' the party will be grappling with is whether Harris was the right candidate. He says that voting on a candidate within the

There’s been a shift within the United States. Donald Trump has claimed the Presidency, securing the over 270 Electoral College votes needed. CNN projects that the Republicans will gain control of the Senate, but the House of Representatives is still up for grabs.

While there are signs of light at the end of the economic tunnel, the job market is likely to remain tough for a little while yet. The unemployment rate has risen to 4.8%. It's lower than expected as more people are leaving the labour force, many opting for retraining or retirement instead. Finance Minister Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking unemployment is likely to keep rising, as it always lags behind other economic indicators. She says it may not go reach the level some of the more pessimistic

If you forget the politics for a moment, a trait of Donald Trump I admire is his unrelenting persistence and unwavering belief. In a contest no one can confidently call based on fact, as opposed to feels, or gut, or hope, I think I can very confidently say if Biden had stayed in it, it wouldn't even be close. Age for age, just the sight of Trump stampeding across the landscape in the way he does would have left Biden gasping. Trump out-campaigned Hillary Clinton 10 years ago. He might well be doing

Police carried out a series of raids targeting the Barbarian chapter of the Mongrel Mob, based in Ōpōtiki. Allegations have since emerged of Police leaving young children alone in homes after the operations. Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking the claims are baseless.
