Kiwifruit exports are winning gold this year. Exports were valued at $3.1 billion in the year to August - the highest value point ever. It's a 20% increase from 2023, and $524 million jump.

He says Europeans have always recognised the health benefits of green, and China has no shortage of green fruit, so are more keen on new varieties. LISTEN ABOVE See

Guidance is being updated as the Government says working from home is not an entitlement, and agencies have to monitor working from home agreements and report back. Christopher Luxon told Mike Hosking working from home was introduced as a temporary measure. He says many organisations and Governments say it does not

A criminal defence lawyer says the Polkinghorne trial is an example of the criminal justice system working.

The verdict —given at the High Court in Auckland yesterday— followed 10 hours of deliberations over two days.

A growing trend of cocktail kegs has made its way to New Zealand. Some in the hospitality industry say mass batches of drinks such as martinis, margaritas and mojitos are speeding up service. Norma Taps co-owner Luke Jones says he set up the business to prove kegs as a viable option to minimise waste and operate efficiently. Jones tells Mike Hosking the cocktail kegs use fresh ingredients and are pressurised to maintain a long shelf life. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

New Zealand’s influence as a nation is on the decline, according to the Lowy Institute’s annual Asia Power Index. NZ is one of only three countries to go backwards, alongside Russia and Myanmar. A traceable drop in diplomacy since 2018 is partly to blame. Lowy Institute’s SouthEast Asia Program Director Susannah Patton tells Mike Hosking the index looks at a range of things including economy, economic relationships and diplomacy.

Mike's Minute: We should get access to jury members

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/09/19

What I would like out of the Philip Polkinghorne trial is access to the jury. This country has an archaic and sheltered view of certain aspects of justice. If you believe justice has to be seen to be done, it behoves us to fully understand the process. I have had virtually no interest in the trial. I have no real overarching interest in crime generally. I got fascinated by the David Bain business, but Polkinghorne has passed me by. He either did it or he didn’t. The jury is working that out as we
