Joe Biden reflected on his legacy and laid a case against Donald Trump in a rousing address. The President's speech ended the first day of the Democratic National Convention where Kamala Harris will accept the presidential nomination. Biden says crime has fallen under his presidency - and will continue to fall when a prosecutor is elected President, ahead of a convicted felon. Biden says Harris will be a President the nation can be proud of - and will put her stamp on America's future. In the

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Wednesday 21st of August, the banks respond to the Commerce Commission report saying there isn't enough competition in the sector. Do they agree? We found Darleen Tana and pulled them from the naughty corner of Parliament to ask why they still deserves to stay on as an MP after turning down the Green's proposal to resign. Ginny Andersen and Mark Mitchell talk about whether there is corruption in politics and why warnings for crimes are shooting

The Government has stepped in after it was revealed police have intentionally not been enforcing a law banning smoking and vaping in cars carrying children. NZME can reveal not a single fine has been issued since the law came into force in 2021, with police saying fines are punitive and unlikely to work. It can also be revealed police never carried out the necessary system upgrades to issue fines, despite Parliament delaying the law coming into force for 18 months to allow for the updates. The

Darleen Tana has made their choice to remain in Parliament. They have declined the Green Party’s request to resign, leaving the Party to deliberate over whether or not to enact the waka jumping legislation. Tana revealed to Mike Hosking that they’re surprised the report into the allegations of migrant exploitation in their husband’s business hasn’t already been leaked.

The Police Association says officers' workloads are big enough without enforcing smoking and vaping bans. Newstalk ZB has revealed in the four years since a law banning smoking and vaping in cars with children was passed, no one has been fined or summonsed to court. Association President Chris Cahill says there are much more important things for police to focus on. He told Mike Hosking police are damned if they do and damned if they don't.

ANZ's chief executive believes New Zealand's banking system is competitive. The Commerce Commission's market study found there's little competition between the big four banks, and they take high profits by international standards. It recommends open banking and giving Kiwibank access to more capital, to better compete and become a disruptor. Antonia Watson told Mike Hosking they don't agree with the ComCom's characterisation of the sector. She says their staff are fighting every day to win and

Mike's Minute: The Government have read things right

2024/08/19

So, one poll tells us something by not really moving and another poll tells us something by being badly misrepresented. The TV1 news numbers last night show that essentially the Government is travelling well, most parties are stable, the Greens are down a bit, but its all, so far, within the margin of error. Nothing really has changed. What that tells you is broadly a couple of things. The first is at this stage of the electoral cycle people don’t pay as much attention as they will be in 18

Concern over falling birth rates after new figures show it's the lowest since World War II. Stats NZ says the national fertility rate was 1.5 births per woman, down from 1.60. Massey University sociologist Paul Spoonley told Mike Hosking New Zealand is following the trends of other western nations, with many European countries recording far lower birth rates. He says it means around 500-1000 fewer births in New Zealand each year. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

It’s a battle of the banks after last week's Official Cash Rate cut. Most banks dropped their advertised retail loan rates within minutes of last Wednesday's Reserve Bank announcement. ANZ and Co-Operative Bank have now dropped their rates even further. Co-Operative Chief Executive Mark Wilkshire told Mike Hosking things are getting competitive.

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
