Two New Zealand restaurants have been named among the world’s best. The Grove in Auckland and Queenstown’s Nest Bar + Kitchen made it onto Trip Advisor’s Travellers’ Choice Awards Best of the Best list for 2024, a milestone fewer than 1% of the 8 million listings achieve. The Grove came in 9th in the fine dining category, and owner Michael Dearth says to get something like this is fantastic. He says that when a lot of people leave the restaurant, they’re just gushing with compliments. LISTEN

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

There’s plenty of self help books on the shelves, but one in particular has cut through the nonsense for millions of people. Mark Manson is the author behind ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck’, which has sold more than 20 million copies since its publication in 2016. Manson is making his way to New Zealand in November as part of his ‘The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck Tour’, where he talks about what made the book a success and offers more “no-BS” live advice.

Future thinking sits at the core of our infrastructure planning.

It highlights population growth, decarbonising the economy, and natural hazard resilience as drivers of our needs.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Thursday 26th of September, the Government has found some new, old money for the education rollout and we have a record speed free trade agreement with the UAE to announce. We got the Transpower Northland pylon report and it was as bad as you thought, so their executive general manager tries to explain why they won't be giving compensation.

Transpower says contractor Omexom is working through its own recommendations after the June pylon topple that caused a power outage in Northland. An Electricity Authority report found bad practice that caused the Transpower tower to topple had probably happened before. Unsupervised, inexperienced maintenance crews from contractor Omexom unfastened three legs at once.

A lucrative free trade agreement with the United Arab Emirates could be signed into action today. Trade Minister Todd McClay is meeting with his Emirati counterpart as part of his three-day visit to Wellington. Negotiations for the FTA began in May, meaning it would be less than 100 days to get it over the line. Former trade negotiator Charles Finny told Mike Hosking there's huge potential for growth. He says we're looking at 5% tariffs on some dairy products and frozen meats, and taking that

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.

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. Bus and Coach Association chief executive Delaney Myers told Mike Hosking it's unacceptable. She says the
