2024/09/19

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. The economy: 4/10 Between the GDP and the current account, it’s a bad week of data. You could argue the upside is it might be the worst of it. It might be better from here on in. Whining unions: 3/10 This week it was relief teachers. Name me the last time unions said something, anything, positive. The race edict: 8/10 Because doing stuff, handing stuff out, based on

The US Federal Reserve has cut interest rates for the first time in more than four years – a significant political boost for the Harris campaign. Rates have gone down by 0.5% to about 4.8%, a far bigger rate than economists had predicted. Policymakers expect the rate to fall another 0.5% this year and go down to around 3% by the end of 2026. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that Donald Trump is complaining about the impact it will have for Harris’ campaign, calling the move by

Mike's Minute: We should get access to jury members

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/09/19

What I would like out of the Philip Polkinghorne trial is access to the jury. This country has an archaic and sheltered view of certain aspects of justice. If you believe justice has to be seen to be done, it behoves us to fully understand the process. I have had virtually no interest in the trial. I have no real overarching interest in crime generally. I got fascinated by the David Bain business, but Polkinghorne has passed me by. He either did it or he didn’t. The jury is working that out as we

Will Jordan’s move to All Blacks fullback has been short lived.

It’s the same back three that started in Johannesburg against the Springboks, before Barrett switched to the bench for Cape Town. Coach Scott Robertson says they believe it’s best for this week with Clarke now fit again. Jordan told Mike Hosking that while

2024/09/19

The Law Association says changing the threshold for the right to a jury trial doesn't make sense. Currently a defendant can choose between a jury or a judge-alone trial in cases where the maximum penalty is two or more years in jail. The Government's seeking feedback on increasing this to three, five, or seven years, saying jury trials drive court delays. Law Association Vice-President Julie-Anne Kincade told Mike Hosking that right now in Auckland District Court you'll get a jury-trial

The Tertiary Education Minister says AUT has good rationale behind its policy to give Māori and Pasifika staff extra points in choosing staff to attend overseas conferences. AUT says there's a critical shortage of those academic staff in the sector, and the policy helps address that. The Government's directed the public service to allocate services on need, not race.

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
