The Paris Olympics is going down as a success among Parisians. Newstalk ZB Correspondent Catherine Field is on the ground in the French capital, where she says hosting the Games was seen as a throw of the dice for the City of Love. She told Mike Hosking that with most of the stadiums outdoors, security was always going to be an issue, but it proved to be a success. New Zealand's team is now on the way home with our best ever medal haul. In all, we won 20: ten Gold, seven Silver, and three

The new chair of the Canterbury A&P Association Board is determined to get the show back on the road. Former Speaker of Parliament Sir David Carter has taken the reins in the lead-up to November's scaled-back event. Carter says he wants to see the event continue for generations to come. He told Mike Hosking personality issues made the relationship between previous board members and the general committee dysfunctional, which caused it to fall apart.

The Prime Minister says all options are on the table for tackling the energy crisis. Wholesale electricity prices have surged in recent weeks as hydro lake storage nears record lows.

Australian political leaders have leapt to the defence of Rachael Gunn as the Olympic team closes ranks behind the under fire breakdancer. The 36-year-old, known as Raygun, failed to score a point when breaking made its debut as an Olympic sport in Paris on Friday.

Mike's Minute: This was the best Olympics ever

2024/08/11

The best Olympics ever. Sadly it wasn’t in our timezone, which doesn’t help the communal buzz of a nation gathered together. But we won more golds and, in my book, that is really what the Olympics is about. They have tried to make it about new, weird sports and participation, but for the purest it is about being the best. That’s why you sacrifice and give up your life for singular moments that make it all worthwhile. I have decided that gold is disproportionate to silver and bronze. It's not a step

Kamala Harris is surging ahead of Donald Trump in the latest major poll.

A call for stricter regulation of building reports to address major discrepancies that could be affecting buyer decisions. The industry’s finding the quality of the $1000 reports vary, with some overstating minor issues and spooking potential buyers.
