Vice President Kamala Harris and former President Donald Trump are gearing up for this weeks’ presidential debate. This will be the first time the pair have come face to face.

Last year was the first time in 20 years that there were fewer cafes than the year before. If that isn't a reality check on the state of our economy, then nothing is. Yes, we are starting to see some light. There is some confidence here and an interest rate cut there. But the tail end, well I hope it’s the tail end, of what is likely three recessions in two years has taken a catastrophic chunk out of our economy.

School students are back in Tauranga for the annual AIMS Games. More than 390 schools are set to take part, with nearly 13,000 athletes and 24,000 visitors expected. AIMS Games Tournament Director Kelly Schischka told Mike Hosking it's a good boost for local businesses. "Last year, estimated figures were just under 75,000 bed nights for the city over the course of the week, and $6.5 million bumped into the economy.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A tax expert believes we need to have an honest discussion around key tax settings. Labour leader Chris Hipkins has opened up a debate around tax – suggesting all options are back on the party's table looking to the 2026 campaign – as the population grows older. Dentons Kensington Swan partner and tax expert Bruce Bernacchi told Mike Hosking this has been a political football for too long. “But in terms of things like means testing, entitlement ages and basic design settings – we need bipartisan

Long Covid looks to be impacting more than just our health - but our wallets too. New research suggests the illness is costing the country $2 billion a year in lost productivity - not including health costs. The figure comes from analysis across the ditch suggesting it's likely costing Australia 0.5 percent of its GDP. Auckland University health economist Paula Lorgelly told Mike Hosking it reinforces the need to wear a mask and isolate to stop the spread. “Let’s try and avoid giving it to

Police say a recent spate of homicides appear to be down to the usual issues of organised crime, gangs and family harm. Since the start of August, Police have launched 11 homicide investigations. One has since been deemed not a homicide and has been referred to the coroner. Police Assistant Commissioner for Auckland and Northland Sam Hoyle told Mike Hosking it's very rare someone is murdered by a complete stranger. “There’s relationships – whether they’re through organised crime, familial

A bleak outlook for the meat export industry with jobs and plants likely to go from next year. Affco is predicting the loss of hundreds of meat processing jobs due to the country's shrinking livestock numbers. The industry's forecasting 1 million fewer lambs to be available for processing next season. Federated Farmers meat and wool industry group chair Toby Williams told Mike Hosking there's a couple of factors contributing to low lamb numbers. “There’s a slowdown in China who aren’t taking as

2024/09/05

The process isn't over, but the Hawke’s Bay District Council was the latest yesterday to confirm a decision they had made earlier to introduce a Māori seat to their operation. Under the new law passed by Wellington, if you had done that you need to either drop the seat at next year's local body elections or take it to a vote. They have voted to take it to a vote. A lot of councils have done the same thing. I think in totality this is a good thing. Having race-based seats is wrong. But at the

Will the All Blacks be able to bounce back in their next match against the Springboks? Last weekend saw the All Blacks defeated 27-31 at Ellis Park, the South Africans taking the home ground win.

Independent Wellington City Councillor Diane Calvert told Mike Hosking she's gobsmacked the project became so expensive.

From this month, young people must meet one-of-four criteria —including being Māori or Pacific— to be eligible for the scheme.
