Mike's Minute: Time to restore standards in this country

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/05/27

Ricardo Menendez March and teachers. Let me join a couple of dots. And the glue for the dots are standards, or lack of them. If you don’t have standards you end up with teachers who can't pass NCEA Level 1, and you end up with people like March using the F-word in Parliament. The F-word is not the end of the world, but it is indicative of the modern day outworkings of an institution that, despite whatever your political leanings, had an element of decorum and civility. Now it's full of thieves,

Keep New Zealand Beautiful claims it's been treated unfairly by the Ministry for the Environment. CEO Heather Saunderson alleges bullying by the Ministry, and the entire team has resigned.

Saunderson told Mike Hosking that other organisations that are legislatively mandated outside of central government receive funding, the SPCA for example gets $6.5 million a

New Caledonia's State of Emergency has lifted after two weeks of unrest. Fewer than 20 New Zealanders are still there and wanting to come home, with one more flight today. French President Emmanuel Macron has travelled to the French island territory and says lifting it allows political dialogue.

The future of cars is becoming increasingly complex. EVs, BEVs, and PHEVs have been pushed as the vehicles of the future, and yet there’s been an increasing number of major producers backtracking on the promise to go electric. The idea that the internal combustion engine will no longer be produced by 2030 seems to be out of reach. Kay Hart, the President of International Markets Group at Ford, has been in the automotive industry for nearly 25 years, and has seen quite a significant amount of

Finance Minister Nicola Willis also revealed yesterday the Government’s drive to reduce public service spending could lead to 3900 job cuts, comprising about 2750 currently filled roles and about 1150 vacancies.

Former President Donald Trump was loudly and consistently booed throughout his speech Saturday at the Libertarian Party’s national convention, particularly when he asked attendees to “nominate me or at least vote for me.” The heckling began the moment the former president took the stage, and some of his supporters in the room tried to drown out the boos with chants of “We want Trump.” “Now I think you should nominate me or at least vote for me, and we should win together,” Trump said. “Because the

Mike's Minute: Welcome to the week of the tax cut

2024/05/26

Welcome to the week of the tax cut. The thing for me is it's more about the symbolism than the money. I have no idea if I get anything at all and whatever we do get isn't going to pay for three weeks on the Amalfi Coast in July. But that's not the point. The point is that somewhere along the way the mindset of keeping as much of your money as possible was stolen and replaced with the idea that there is always a cause, idea, disaster or group that can use it more than you.

The UK Prime Minister's proposed mandatory national service is being called a misstep. If re-elected on July 4, the Conservative Party will make 18-year-olds participate for 12 months in a military placement or one weekend a month of community service. Former New Zealand Defence Minister Wayne Mapp told Mike Hosking the roughly $5 billion plan is the wrong approach. He doubts it will be a vote winner, and says they should focus on incentives to volunteer for service. The Tories haven't said what
