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. Local Government New Zealand President and Selwyn Mayor Sam Broughton told Mike Hosking that councils have shown that partnerships with Māori, whether through wards or council seats, has

The Building Minister says new importation rules will increase supply and competition. The Government has introduced new legislation to make it easier to import building supplies from abroad. It'll enable recognition of overseas standards, and Building Consent Authorities will need to accept products already certified offshore. Chris Penk told Mike Hosking this is an important step to bringing down building costs. He says it goes alongside the work the government's doing in freeing up land to

A health expert is calling a Hawke's Bay scheme targeting services for young Māori and Pacific people lazy virtue signalling. Health NZ in Hawke's Bay has amended the two-year scheme, which used to provide free GP and nurse services to all residents aged 14 to 24. From this month, young people must meet one-of-four criteria —including being Māori or Pacific— to be eligible for the scheme.

The new lending legislation seems like it will be a net positive for the banks. As part of the CCCFA reforms the Financial Markets Authority is set to become a one-stop regulatory shop, looking after licences to ensure consumers are taken care of. Banking Association CEO Roger Beaumont told Mike Hosking that while there will likely be minimal impact for customers, there will be definite improvements on the bank’s side. He said that one of the key changes is that the “draconian” personal liability

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

New Zealand’s produce providers are hoping for a bit more information regarding the supermarket industry. The Commerce Commission's first annual report into the grocery market, shows competition hasn't meaningfully improved. It flags increasing margins and high profitability. Vegetables NZ’s John Murphy told Mike Hosking that it would be great if growers got more of a slice of the pie, given the commercial risk they undertake.

Arguably New Zealand’s greatest ever Olympian, Dame Lisa Carrington is the best in the canoe sprint game. 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

There are a number of things that stand out to me post-Covid that are disappointing. Obviously the recessionary state this place has been in and the carnage it has caused, and continues to cause, although they are all ultimately tied to the one major event. But tourism stands out as the most clear example of something we had and something we have now lost. Not literally. They still arrive, but not like they used to and not even close. Something happened between closing the borders and opening

Airports Association Chief Executive Billie Moore says that airports and airlines are pretty united in wanting the levy to remain at $35, especially in light of all of the other cost increases that are coming through.

The government appears to have found an unlikely ally in former Tourism Minister Stuart Nash. It's increasing the International Visitor Conservation and Tourism Levy from $35 to $100 next month, an increase of nearly 200%. Nash wanted to bring the levy up by as much as $200 back in 2022. He told Mike Hosking that anyone saying these fees will deter visitors is wrong. Nash says they're dreaming if they think an extra $65 US will be the difference between coming here or another country. LISTEN
