Long Covid looks to be impacting more than just our health - but our wallets too. New research suggests the illness is costing the country $2 billion a year in lost productivity - not including health costs. The figure comes from analysis across the ditch suggesting it's likely costing Australia 0.5 percent of its GDP. Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking it reinforces the need to wear a mask and isolate to stop the spread. “Let’s try and avoid giving it to

Police say a recent spate of homicides appear to be down to the usual issues of organised crime, gangs and family harm. Since the start of August, Police have launched 11 homicide investigations. One has since been deemed not a homicide and has been referred to the coroner. Police Assistant Commissioner for Auckland and Northland Sam Hoyle told Mike Hosking it's very rare someone is murdered by a complete stranger. “There’s relationships – whether they’re through organised crime, familial

A bleak outlook for the meat export industry with jobs and plants likely to go from next year. Affco is predicting the loss of hundreds of meat processing jobs due to the country's shrinking livestock numbers. The industry's forecasting 1 million fewer lambs to be available for processing next season. Federated Farmers meat and wool industry group chair Toby Williams told Mike Hosking there's a couple of factors contributing to low lamb numbers. “There’s a slowdown in China who aren’t taking as

Toast: 2/10 A sad example of how you lose the plot when you are down a rabbit hole. At $30b a year, health's problem is not cooked bread. So stop saying dumb things.

Mike's Minute: Māori ward seats voting wraps up

2024/09/05

The process isn't over, but the Hawke’s Bay District Council was the latest yesterday to confirm a decision they had made earlier to introduce a Māori seat to their operation. Under the new law passed by Wellington, if you had done that you need to either drop the seat at next year's local body elections or take it to a vote. They have voted to take it to a vote. A lot of councils have done the same thing. I think in totality this is a good thing. Having race-based seats is wrong. But at the

Will the All Blacks be able to bounce back in their next match against the Springboks? Last weekend saw the All Blacks defeated 27-31 at Ellis Park, the South Africans taking the home ground win. They’ll be looking to turn things around this weekend, when they face them again at Cape Town Stadium. Coach Scott Robertson told Mike Hosking that it’s going to be another hell of a test. He said that even though it’s at a different stadium this time, it’s still going to be as fierce as it ever was.

There’s outrage in parts of the capital over the price-tag of a new bike rack. Ratepayers have forked out $550 thousand to install a two-tier bike rack in central Wellington. Independent Wellington City Councillor Diane Calvert told Mike Hosking she's gobsmacked the project became so expensive.

There's confidence most councils want to retain their Māori wards. There's a 5pm deadline today to have made a decision over their fate. Most councils have opted to keep them, with only Kaipara District Council deciding to scrap them, while Upper Hutt City Council has reversed its decision to establish them.

From this month, young people must meet one-of-four criteria —including being Māori or Pacific— to be eligible for the scheme.

The latest carbon credit auction found little success, but the Climate Change Minister says there's still some positives. The Government’s auction attracted no bidders, increasing the chances of millions of tonnes of permits going up in smoke come December. The Government has announced measures to address the issue, shrinking the number of permits available over the next five years in an effort to flush out surplus credits. Minister Simon Watts said that there is demand for the credits, as there

She’s brought home a staggering total of nine medals across four Olympic Games, eight of them gold, and one bronze, dominating the water. Despite her massive success, Carrington doesn’t believe this is the best she’s capable of, telling Newstalk ZB’s Mike Hosking that you have to be able to look beyond the finish line or gold medal and set yourself other goals. “If I thought that winning a
