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

Rumours have been circulating that the Saudi-backed LIV Golf is teeing up an event in Christchurch, possibly as early as next year. The Herald understands LIV Golf has been looking at the possibility of bringing a high-profile tournament to Christchurch Golf Club to New Zealand’s second oldest club. Christchurch Golf Club general manager Mike Hadley confirmed to the Herald that LIV Golf officials have “visited” the course but as yet, “there’s been no follow-up”.

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. The tech mogul's been fighting to remain here for more than a decade, but time may be up with Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith signing an extradition order. 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.

Most banks have cut their advertised rates following yesterday's OCR decision. The Reserve Bank cut the Official Cash Rate by 25-basis points, going from 2.5% to 2.25%. Kiwibank was the first to move. Chief Executive Steve Jurkovich told Mike Hosking it's a positive sign of things to come, with their team now forecasting a steady period of cuts from now to June 2027. He said that people are unlikely to get carried away with the cuts, rushing out and buying new houses, cars, or technology.

Reserve Bank Governor Adrian Orr is defending his change of tune on the Official Cash Rate. He's cut the OCR to 5.25%. Some economists are criticising the suddenness of the change of direction, with Brad Olsen calling on the central bank to take accountability for radically changing its forecast without a radical change in circumstances. But Orr told Mike Hosking the situation has changed since his last Monetary Policy Statement, three months ago. He says plenty of time and information has

Health New Zealand is adamant frontline roles are safe from cuts. The health agency has been tasked with reining in the sector's budget and a commissioner replaced the board last month after concerns of serious overspending. Staff have been told to dismiss a presentation suggesting job cuts could come from hundreds of doctors and more than a thousand nurses. Commissioner Lester Levy told Mike Hosking Health NZ Chief Executive Margie Apa should've shut this down. He says this behaviour's
