The full extent of the damage caused by Hurricane Milton remains to be seen. The hurricane caused storm surges, tornadoes, strong winds, heavy rain and flash flooding across Florida, and NBC is reporting 12 deaths. Around three million properties have been without power, and authorities are working to restore that and fuel supply. Reporter Dave Elias told Mike Hosking that they’ve had helicopters and drones out surveying, but much of the damage still remains to be seen. He said the one good thing

A call to action from Federated Farmers Southland for locals to boycott Fish & Game. It wants members to block anglers from their land by removing access signs, replacing them with an orange ribbon. It follows a court decision requiring many of the region's farmers to gain a resource consent to lawfully operate. Fed Farmers Southland President Jason Herrick says they're fed up with Fish & Game's anti-farming rhetoric. He told Mike Hosking that it’s been an ongoing process with Fish &

There’s a feeling bad blood may linger in Wellington City Council. The council has voted to overturn its decision to sell the city's 34% stake in Wellington Airport after a process one councillor described as the “dirtiest politics” she's been involved with. Mayor Tory Whanau's suggesting the council will have to look at further cuts in the wake of this decision. Councillor Tony Randle told Mike Hosking he only agreed to sell the shares if it kept the millions of dollars as emergency funding. He

Former Finance Minister Steven Joyce says there are some things worth celebrating amidst a grim outlook on the economy. Treasury documents show the Crown's deficit has grown $3.4 billion dollars in the year to June, to $12.9 billion. Spending is outpacing income despite revenue increasing by $14 billion. Steven Joyce told Mike Hosking that recovery will be tough, but there are some positives shining through. He said that while the country’s net debt doubled post-Covid, we’ve got inflation under

Universities are a bit of a minefield at the moment. Grant Robertson has gone to run Otago, Auckland has introduced a Māori-related compulsory course which has received surprise and push back, and AUT has been giving out free points in a race-based travel rort, where if you're Māori you get a better chance at travel funding than if you're not Māori. So when the latest international university rankings were released yesterday the fact Otago is at its lowest ranking ever will come as a good chance to

The US Wine Market may be becoming more lucrative than the one back home. The owner of Te Awanga Estate in Hawke’s Bay is looking to sell up his restaurant, vineyard, and cellar door and focus his efforts on exports. Owner Rod McDonald told Mike Hosking that they’ve got really exciting opportunities in the US, so they had to weigh up the hard work of the New Zealand hospo industry against what potentially lies ahead stateside.

It’s coming full circle for Malcolm Gladwell. Twenty-five years after the success of his first book ‘The Tipping Point’, he returns with a brand-new volume, reframing those original lessons. ‘Revenge of the Tipping Point’ returns to the topic of social epidemics and tipping points, this time with the aim of exploring the dark side of contagious phenomena. Gladwell told Mike Hosking that his success came from a “healthy dollop of luck”. “I read lots and lots and lots of books which I think are

A token for the Northland community in the aftermath of the collapsed pylon calamity. Power was cut to about 88,000 homes and businesses in June, when an Omexom worker unfastened three legs of a Transpower pylon. The electricity provider and its contractor are now putting $1 million towards a regional energy package, to be used for community projects and economic development. Transpower Chief Executive John Clarke told Mike Hosking he recognises the scale of economic loss is far greater. He says

There's a belief the Government's FamilyBoost rebate is working, despite a lack of interest from eligible families. The new scheme is a hallmark policy of the Government's first Budget, offering financial support for early childhood education. It's been open for three weeks and less than half of families eligible have applied to receive it. Early Childhood Council chief executive Simon Laube told Mike Hosking it's an impressive start.

Kiwis could expect another cut to the Official Cash Rate before Christmas. The Reserve Bank has cut the OCR by 50 basis points, following a 25-basis point cut in August. Banks are following through with further interest rate cuts. ASB Chief Executive Vittoria Shortt told Mike Hosking the neutral rate is about 3.25%, so the central bank still has a way to go. She says it could drop another 50 basis points next month, provided inflation is back under control. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener

Kiwibank has already made a cut ahead of this afternoon’s OCR announcement. The Reserve Bank is set to announce a cut to the Official Cash Rate, with economists and the market predicting a cut of 50 basis points. Kiwibank has taken 50 basis points off their floating loan rates, potentially pre-empting the bank’s decision. CEO Steve Jurkovich told Mike Hosking that they’d be disappointed if the Reserve Bank were to only cut by 25 points. He said that people, businesses, and their customers are

Mike's Minute: There's dumb games being played in health

There are some dumb games being played at the moment in the very serious business of health. Health NZ is in the red to the tune of $1.7b - that's for the year. They are over budget by $1.7b. That’s why Lester Levy got to be Commissioner and all the others were let go. Game one is the Labour Party, who have of course zero credibility when it comes to money, who are claiming the $1.7b is because Health NZ is underfunded. I have seen the budget-on-budget comparisons. They are not underfunded. Ayesha

Kiwis Selector Tawera Nikau told Mike Hosking that the length of the NRL season becomes a bit of a problem at the back end. He said it’s not a lack of willingness from the players, but rather the state they’re in by the end of 27 rounds. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He told Mike Hosking that in terms of recovery, they’ve definitely moved the needle, and he’s hoping they’ll have most of the buyouts completed by the end of the year.
