It's important I think to end the week with the good news. The good news from an industry, you might have read, that has been creating a bit of bad news lately. The media has troubles, newsrooms are being closed, programmes are being cancelled, people are being laid off, losses are mounting, hands are out for help and pleas are being made for you to see what some do on the local landscape as being important. So yes, it has been a bad year. But against that backdrop the radio industry got together

He says we need better enforcement of the rules but says it won't stop underage vaping all together. LISTEN

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

2024/06/05

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

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
