Calls for a shake up to immigration. Act has unveiled a new immigration policy that scraps temporary visas, charges based on demand, and allows more migrants to bring their parents. Business NZ Advocacy Director, Catherine Beard, says in a global contest for talent, other countries have made it easier for immigrants. She told Tim Dower new ideas are needed to fulfil New Zealand's future workforce. Beard says with an aging population and declining birth rate, there's no way we can fulfil the need for

Road to Zero looks to be the highway to nowhere we all thought it would be. Another measure the Government has not delivered on, another piece of ideology that’s proven completely unworkable in the real world. We learn now, that three years into the Road to Zero campaign, we have exactly the same number of road deaths as when we started – in fact we are heading backwards in terms of how bad the road toll is. So what has it achieved? Nothing. It’s mental health beds and child poverty and housing and

It may have brought Julie Anne Genter to tears and caused Golriz Gharamann to erupt into celebration, but I’m not in the same camp of jumping for joy over the Supreme Court decision to accept an appeal to the Make it 16 campaigners. Of course, this ruling only means the case has been accepted as valid by the Supreme Court, who agree it’s inconsistent to the Bill of Rights to deny 16 year olds the right to vote. The only people with the power to actually change the law are the politicians. We know

Legal experts say that while lowering the voting age at general elections might be politically challenging, New Zealand could see a differential voting system with 16-year-olds able to vote at local body level as a ”trial” first. Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says she personally wants to see the voting age lowered for the first time in nearly 50 years and announced Parliament will debate the issue before the middle of next year. It comes after on Monday the Supreme Court declared the current voting

Prison numbers are down, yet questions remain as to why is violent crime is on the rise. The prison population has dropped 24 percent since 2017, but violent crime has increased by 21 percent and gang membership has risen 51 percent. Much fewer offences are resulting in prison sentences, leaving offenders on the street rather than in prison. National's spokesperson for Corrections, Simon O'Connor, joined Kate Hawkesby to discuss.

The classic brown L&P bottle could be on its way out, due to its effect on our recycling system. Coca-Cola is looking to swap out the brown, and go for clear to make the bottles easier to recycle. The green Sprite bottles have already been ditched for the same reason. Hauraki District Mayor Toby Adams told Kate Hawkesby the L&P bottle is a huge tourist attraction in Paeroa.

2022/11/20

It’s fascinating to watch the gradual implosion of Twitter. There are two camps on this. Those who believe it’s been a toxic hellscape of negativity gradually eating itself anyway and Elon just sped things up, and those who believe it is a dynamic platform for free speech, representing a wide variety of views and providing an outlet for all kinds of diversity. Those who believe the latter, are grieving the demise of their outlet, their community, their sense of connection, and the independent

One thing I love about the health and wellness industry is that it’s constantly evolving and changing, but that can also make it a challenge to keep up with. Hence, I’m a huge fan of science journalist and author of several health books, Dr Michael Mosley. He’s the guy behind the 5:2 diet and intermittent fasting, he invented them long before they became mainstream and popular. Not that I’ve ever done the 5:2 diet and I’m a terrible faster – can’t do that either – but I know people who do and they

A youth development worker is giving a thumbs down to National's new policy to deal with youth crime. The party is promising to set up Young Offender Military Academies for 15 to 17-year-olds, if it's elected next year. It also wants to put electric monitoring devices on children as young as 10-years-old. Aaron Hendry told Kate Hawkesby evidence shows they're ineffective, as they don't address the root cause of why young people are involved in crime in the first place. He says there are groups of

I thought it was ironic this week when Grant Robertson admitted the rollout of the ram raid support for businesses has been too slow. Slow would be an understatement. I just can’t work out what’s going on here. Because every time you ask the Government about it, they say they’re chasing it, they’re telling Police to speed up, they want it sorted. Yet when you speak to Sunny Kaushal from the Dairy and Business Owners Association, he says the Government is the hold up. He says he has to chase
