Mike's Minute: The Waitangi Tribunal are overstepping

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/08/19

For a Government looking to save money, it beggars belief that they haven't had a decent look at the Waitangi Tribunal. Yet again they strike, this time with a report that condemns the Treaty Principles Bill. They condemn it and want it abolished. The trouble is, there is no such thing. The tribunal is like a court. Fortunately it doesn’t have the same powers as a court, and indeed, as a result of reports like this you can surely argue it is nowadays little more than an advocacy service for the

Balancing directors' safety and accountability is the goal of the Commerce Minister's shake up of the Companies Act. Andrew Bayly is looking to make it harder to "phoenix", in which assets are transferred from indebted companies to new ones, leaving the former to face insolvency. He says they want to make it easier to catch directors doing the wrong thing, which will be done by assigning every director a unique digital number. Another measure is allowing directors to take their home addresses

A new short-term worker visa's proving popular within the wine growing industry. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford's creating a new subcategory of the Specific Purpose Work Visa to help employers in upcoming seasonal peaks. She says the roles can't last longer than nine months and exclude jobs usually covered by the Recognised Seasonal Employer Scheme like fruit pickers.

Kim Dotcom may have his work cut out if he wants to stay in New Zealand.

It means he'll likely stand trial in the US. Barrister Clive Elliott KC told Mike Hosking a judicial review is the next step, which will look into the minister's decision.

Pressure is on Christopher Luxon over 501s as he meets with his Australian counterpart Anthony Albanese in Canberra. In 2022, former Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern had convinced Albanese of a common-sense approach to the topic. But that stance changed in June, when a new directive made the safety of Australians the top priority in deportation decisions.

Millions of Brits are out of work and not looking for more. Official figures show that inactivity is sitting at 9.41 million, or 22.2% of the working age population, which is up 350,000 from 2023. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that while some of those people are students and people taking early retirement, there’s still a residue of 4-5 million people who either haven’t gone back to work or haven’t started. He said that he suspects several things are to blame for this: an influx

Mike's Minute: You can't trust Adrian Orr

2024/08/14

The great crime out of Adrian Orr's move is you can't trust him. A central bank is supposed to get the economy and he and his committee clearly don’t. Don’t get me wrong - what he did was the right thing. A lot of people think it was the right thing. But he is supposed to land it softly and he crashed it. Having crashed it, he still denied he crashed it until it clearly became so bleeding obvious that he did what he did yesterday. The cuts that weren't coming until next year are here now. You

The demand for electric vehicles has continued its decline.
