The Government crackdown on truancy could be causing a drop in families taking holidays during term time. Flight Centre data shows a 30% reduction in bookings during the school term compared to last year. At the same time, bookings during July's school holidays are up 10%. General Manager Heidi Walker told Mike Hosking that the old excuse of it being more expensive to travel in the holidays is unfortunately true. She said that prices rise due to supply and demand, as more people are wanting to

International student numbers are rising but are still lower than before borders were closed due to the Covid outbreak. More than 69 thousand students enrolled with education providers in 2023. That's a 67% increase compared to 2022, but only 60% of 2019 enrolments. International enrolments grew in all subsectors except wānanga.

The Department of Conservation has confirmed tourism numbers are returning to pre-covid levels. New data shows visitors are back at 80% of what was seen before the pandemic, with arrivals increasing from 1.52 million in 2022 to 2.29 million in 2023. Totally Tourism CEO Mark Quickfall told Mike Hosking that despite places like Europe seeing much higher figures, it has to be looked at in perspective. He says for companies like his —which lost 90% of businesses overnight due to Covid— it's a

Politicians on both sides of the divide agree that the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill is worth a crack. The Government's progressing an amended version of the Bill, which will make digital platforms like Facebook pay for news content. It is set to progress through Parliament with the support of National, NZ First, and most likely Labour, but ACT's invoked its right to 'agree to disagree' and will oppose the Bill.

David Seymour doesn't think the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill will solve underlying issues with media. The Government's progressing an amended version of the Bill which will make digital platforms like Facebook pay for news content. ACT's invoked its right to 'agree to disagree' and will oppose the Bill. Party leader David Seymour told Mike Hosking that it will probably make issues with media worse. He says that's because the one attractive thing about the original Labour policy was that

There's a view police need back-up, following the revelations more prevention work is needed for the Government to deliver its youth crime crackdown. It aims to reduce the number of serious youth offenders by 15% by 2030. Official briefings show the Police Minister was told this was ambitious and would require cross-agency work. Blue Light Chief Executive Brendon Crompton told Mike Hosking that Police are there to enforce the law. He says provider agencies then give services and support to those

A New Zealand home renovations company is aiming to challenge issues in the renovation market. It's worth around $9 a year in New Zealand but the American market's more than half a trillion, which is seen as an opportunity for Kiwi exporters. Refresh Renovations founder Jon Bridge told Mike Hosking that no one was doing renovations at scale, and there's been a major problem with budget blowouts. He says research indicates nearly a third of money spent on reno's is wasted and around 20% end in

Polls are still suggesting a Labour victory ahead of this week's UK general election. Labour leader Keir Starmer remains the clear contender against Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and the Conservative Party. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that most polls are predicting a 240 majority for the Labour party. He thinks that this is underestimating both a shy Tory vote and those who do not wish to give Labour a carte blanche. Liddle suspects the majority will be smaller than predicted.

It’s been a season full of ups and downs for the Warriors. After a historic loss to the Titans two weeks ago, they bounced back against the Broncos, taking the win 32-16. Coach Andrew Webster told Mike Hosking that their season has been very inconsistent. He said that their good football is probably better than most, but their worst football is probably worse than most. Webster said that he’s really proud of their win over the weekend, and they just need to find that consistency in their day to

The court's ruled 6-3 that former presidents are entitled to absolute immunity from prosecution for official acts while in office, but not unofficial acts. Political commentator and National Columnist for the Washington Post Philip Bump told Mike Hosking that the lower courts will determine what counts as official.

Dairy owners want more power to make citizens arrests. The Government's committed to passing four pieces of law and order legislation in the next quarter. It includes allowing police to ban gang patches, confiscate firearms, more efficiency in the courts, and more rehabilitation for on-remand prisoners. Chair of the Dairy and Business Owners Group Sunny Kaushal told Mike Hosking that it's a great move. But he also wants business owners, security guards, and law-abiding citizens to be able to

Police say that community response is to thank for positive youth crime outcomes. More than 70% of children and youths referred through the youth offender support protocol —Fast Track— haven't been re-referred. The protocol, created by Oranga Tamariki, finds support services to prevent youth re-offending.

It is true to say that Biden got it together, somewhat, as the debate unfolded. But it started so badly that even in his finest moments it was ordinary. The unmistakable truth is what you saw is as good as it gets. If Americans vote for him he doesn’t improve, he doesn’t get younger and he doesn’t get sharper. I have not, until this point, believed the narrative that you can take a sitting President and replace him mid-race. But now, I am not so sure. If he quits, or gets pulled, they will lose. It
