It was a fiery debate in the UK ahead of the election. Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Labour party challenger Keir Starmer have gone head-to-head in the first face to face. Starmer's questioned the Conservative's leader's belief his economic plan's working. He says Sunak knows inflation's going up and energy prices are going up in the autumn, and if he'd thought the plan was working, why's the election being called now. Sunak says that's ironic, because Starmer's called for an election since

Mike's Minute: Keep local politics simple and democratic

Local body politics is having a bit of a week in the sun. They have formed a group, as we told you Tuesday, to look at ways of pumping up voter turnout and the possibility of a four-year term. The Government's change of rules around Māori wards has also seen the local authorities front up and have their say at a select committee. On that specifically they are bogged down, and they don’t even seem to know it, by something that never had to be as problematic as it has turned out to be. The old

A review of Early Childhood regulations is said to be long overdue. Regulation Minister David Seymour says the sector needs a closer look, to better affordability, access and regulation for the sector. Early Childhood Council CEO Simon Laube said that the system they have is just not fit for purpose. He told Mike Hosking that it’s so complex, and some of the regulations are conflicting with each other. Regulations get applied inconsistently, Laube said, and one minor infraction could mean the

Auckland looks to be leading the pack in the downwards property market. CoreLogic's latest House Price Index reveals property prices have dipped 0.2% around the country in May. Auckland dropped a notable 0.8% on the back of a 0.6% fall in April. Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson says it's pretty striking to see our largest city having a weakness in prices. He says Auckland has gone backwards in the past two months and that's something to keep an eye on. LISTEN ABOVE See

Some Toyota owners may be regretting their purchase. It’s a struggle to insure one Toyota car model, with annual insurance costs reaching nearly three thousand dollars. The Toyota Aqua is the most commonly stolen car in the country, which has caused insurers to hike prices. Consumer NZ Chief Executive Jon Duffy told Mike Hosking that while the Aqua is cheap to run, the fuel savings may not be worth it. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s a belief that changes to holiday laws will benefit employers. The Government's drafting legislation to change the Holidays Act 2003. It'll include proposals to pro-rata sick leave and move annual leave from an entitlement system to one using accrual. Employers and Manufacturers' Association's Alan McDonald told Mike Hosking that an accrual system is favoured because a single calculation is needed.

Although Auckland gets the headlines, it is not alone when it comes to the destruction and degrading of downtown areas. The bus facility in Dunedin has been dealing with a death, but as my daughter who lives there told me, it's been a mess for years and you avoid it. Quick question: what's the point of a public transport facility if it is famously bad, so you don’t get near it? New Plymouth I read is having growing issues, and good old Auckland once again last night had the Police Minister as

He says the action will be paused when migrant numbers reach a 'manageable' level. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that the decision has political motives for Biden, with Trump holding the stronger stance on immigration in the polls.

The Police Commissioner says a fifth of the jobs they go to involve alcohol. Internal documents obtained by RNZ say alcohol causes 20 times more social harm than meth. Andrew Coster told Mike Hosking that 'lolly-water' is often the culprit when they are called to harmful events. He says a crackdown on the availability and price of booze would make a difference.
