2025/04/03

Our Government is asking the US for more details on its new import rules for New Zealand. Donald Trump's announced 10% tariffs on almost all goods entering the country from around the world – including New Zealand. Many countries face much higher tariffs, with goods from China being hit by a combined 54% levy. Trade Minister Todd McClay has confirmed officials are still seeking information. He told Kerre Woodham that while a trade war isn’t ideal, New Zealand has a very diverse trade strategy, with

Kiwis seem to be on the move. Ministry of Housing and Urban Development data shows that half of New Zealand tenancies are less than two years old, and just 1% have been in place for more than 18 years. The average tenancy is now 50 months long, up from 28 in 2010, and the median has reached 25, up from 14 in 2010. Residential Property Managers Association Chairperson Tony Mitchell told Kerre Woodham that it comes down to flexibility – mostly on the part of the tenant. He says most landlords would

Labour's leader says the US tariffs on New Zealand aren't justified in a retaliatory sense. A US chart states New Zealand imposes 20% tariffs on US imports, and Chris Hipkins is wondering if this includes GST, which isn't a tariff. He told Kerre Woodham New Zealand's one of the world's lowest no-tariff countries. Hipkins also says New Zealand won’t just be impacted by the tariffs directly imposed on us, but we could be hit harder by indirect knock-on effects from the higher amounts Trump is

Here we go again – the America’s Cup. How many times have you heard the debates for and against the America’s Cup? The Government, as you will have heard, has declined the opportunity to invest in hosting the America's Cup in 2027 and the usual arguments are raging over the wisdom or otherwise of that decision. Tātaki Auckland Unlimited (TAU) chief executive Nick Hill said it was with great disappointment that they were confirming that Auckland would no longer be bidding to host the 2027 America's

Auckland's chance of hosting the next America's Cup has gone the way of the wind. Auckland Unlimited confirmed yesterday that the city is unable to proceed with its bid for the 2027 event, as the Government isn’t contributing any funding. AUT Sailing Professor and former world champion sailor, Mark Orams told Kerre Woodham that the professionalisation of sport has resulted in finances playing a more significant role when it comes to decision making.

The war on road cones has ratcheted up, with the coalition government setting up a hotline for people to report the overzealous use of road cones and no, it's not an April Fool's joke. The hotline is part of a first tranche of measures introduced by Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden, designed to reform the country's health and safety laws so businesses can focus on the necessary and the essential - not on the “senseless and superfluous” as Brooke van Velden told Mike Hosking

Law and order was a major concern of voters going into the 2023 Election – to be fair, it's usually on the minds of voters going into any election campaign, but particularly the last one. Voters had had a guts full of doing things a different way. Of policing by consent, of giving authority to the gangs and then seeing them take over towns. We had guts full of seeing young kids ram raiding, of seeing neighbourhood crime increase. You saw numerous community Facebook pages showing kids as young as 10

Westport residents have been berating their council over a plan to move the flood-prone town. Draft master planning began in 2023 on a proposal to move to Government-owned Pamu-Landcorp farmland southwest of the current settlement. Buller Councillors yesterday voted to continue to the third stage. Mayor Jamie Cleine told Kerre Woodham that step enables more conversations. He says the plan has never been to just pick up and move Westport, it will be an inter-generational process. LISTEN ABOVESee

What is this mania for the building of stadia when this country has so many already and very, very few of them are economic assets? The decision over whether to upgrade Eden Park in Auckland or to build a brand spanking new stadium on the waterfront is such an old debate. And before I go on, I will say I've been a guest of Eden Park, but it does take more to buy my opinion than a very nice lamb chop and a glass of non-alcoholic rosé, I promise you.

The Government's scrapping the Resource Management Act and replacing it with new planning laws. RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop says current rules make it too hard to build the infrastructure and houses New Zealand desperately needs. He says Cabinet's agreed on a blueprint for reform, which will standardise zoning and remove differences for each local council – aiming to implement it before councils start their 2027 long-term plans. He claims the replacement RMA will cut admin and compliance costs

Is there any such thing as a completely fair tax system? Surely the most you can hope for is a least unfair tax system. I ask this because a UN report is calling for countries to check taxes are being applied proportionally to the wealthiest individuals, and questioning the fairness of GST. The UN Committee for Economic, Social and Cultural Rights said a tax policy that maintains a low personal and corporate income taxes without adequately addressing high income inequalities is an example of a

A tax expert says achieving a fair tax system is hard, but not impossible. A UN committee is calling on governments to check their tax policies are being applied proportionally to wealthier individuals. It says regressive and ineffective policies could disproportionately affect low-income households, women, and disadvantaged groups. Denton Tax Partner Bruce Bernacchi told Kerre Woodham tax can become disproportional when measuring how much tax is paid overall against incomes. He says New Zealand

In October last year, Auckland councillors voted 11-8 to move all speedway events to Waikaraka Park, which will undergo an $11 million upgrade.

A big bounce back for our economy, despite many sectors still doing it tough.

Let me take you back to March 2020. Business loans were made available in May – the announcement was made in March for small businesses affected by Covid-19. Businesses were offered up to $20,000, plus $1800 per full time employee. More than 129,000

Speaking of the Investment Summit that's been convened by the government – or really the Prime Minister, because this Infrastructure Investment Summit is the PM's baby. What I really love is the positivity around it. It must be killing some media organisations, having to reluctantly spit out some good news. But there's optimism and there's hard bitten trillion-dollar asset fund managers saying yes, this all looks really promising. It's not just hearing about the very real possibility of getting
