If at first you don’t succeed, try again. A common sentiment, but particularly relevant for athletes, and one Hamish Kerr is familiar with. The Olympic high jump gold medallist told Mike Hosking that his first attempt at high jump left him with a bloody nose, as he hit his nose against his knee on the way over. Kerr’s come a long way since that first jump, and now his goal is to leap 2.4 meters – four centimetres higher than his medal winning 2.36 meters. “For me it’s just about getting

There’s concern youth vaping could be creating a new generation of smokers. Australian and New Zealand Journal of Public Health research reveals Aussie teens who pick up vaping are five times more likely to start smoking. It found the link was strongest for those at the younger end of the age range, with 12-year-olds 29 times more likely. Co-Author Becky Freeman told Mike Hosking the focus has been on cessation for ex-smokers for too long. She says 14-year-olds aren't using vaping to quit

The Health Minister says while they'd always like to spend more on health, the spending level is enough to deliver a high quality service. Dr Shane Reti has laid out his plans for delivering on health targets set in March. It includes more community infusion centres, more beds and operating theatres in public hospitals and greater use of private hospitals. Reti told Mike Hosking it also includes discharging patients seven days a week. He used the example of someone with an abscess who needs an

Mike's Minute: The super debate is fraught

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/09/11

As we enter yet another round of the superannuation debate, I note it was led off last week by a group that wanted what they termed a “top up“, i.e. a pay rise for those who couldn’t save. You can see how fraught that concept is from the get go. Why couldn’t you save? You had 40 years. Actually, that’s another aspect of this whole mess that’s changed. Do you have 40 years? Or 50 years? People work longer so surely a chance to save more? Superannuation fits an almost unique category of topics

Briscoes' endless sales are continuing to pay off. The group, which also includes Rebel Sport, made a net profit of $33 million in the half year to July. Their success stems from their long-time merchandise proposition of getting famous brand names and putting them out at the right price, the group’s Managing Director says. Rod Duke told Mike Hosking that the proposition just seems to resonate with customers. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Graham Norton has been rather busy lately. When he’s not hosting his number one show, a new season of which will be airing shortly, he’s continuing his budding career as an author. His latest novel is called ‘Frankie’, a decades-sweeping story about love, bravery, and what it means to live a significant life. This novel required some research to ensure the accuracy of the world, which Norton wasn’t entirely sure he’d enjoy. “Would it be a bit like homework? And turns out, I did enjoy it,” he

It's a win for the consumer, with gift cards being given a new lease on life. Parliament has passed a private member's bill —originally put forward by National's Melissa Lee— requiring gift cards to have a minimum expiry date of three years. Consumer NZ's Jessica Walker says one in four gift cardholders end up stuck with a card they can't use. She told Mike Hosking this change brings much need consistency and clarity.

A poor gas outlook is seen as the main suspect for further job losses in manufacturing. The country's largest gas user Methanex is proposing to move from two plants to one for the foreseeable future. It comes after Winstone pulp confirmed plans to shut two mills to more than 200 workers earlier this week. Former president and CEO of Methanex, Bruce Aitken told Mike Hosking we lack a long term, coherent energy strategy. He says if you want to build power stations or wind farms, they take many

There's a view that Kamala Harris needs to up the ante on issues like inflation and the economy to sway more voters. The Vice President and former President Donald Trump battled fiercely over the economy, abortion, and foreign policy in yesterday's debate. There's since been heavy consensus that Harris won the day. However, former chief of staff of Republican Marco Rubio, Matt Terrill told Mike Hosking Harris didn't accomplish what she needed to. He says the economy's the number one issue

The cock up that the Inland Revenue Department has engineered gives us a good insight into how the public service is run. They hand my information, and yours, over to Google and Facebook etc, and they do this so they can better tailor their advertising. Even at this point there are a couple of large red flags. Firstly, I would argue there is a patriotic duty for all Government funded agencies to at least pause and ask themselves, given the relationship with social media and the local media and

A relatively new player in the New Zealand power market has hit out at the Electricity Authority and Government amid the power crisis. Octopus Energy says that the closure of Winstone Pulp is a sign that urgent change is needed. They believe the Government’s decision to scrap the Lake Onslow reservoir project has discouraged electricity investment.
