2024/05/23

Despite the cost-of-living crisis, one industry seemingly not hit is that of the pollster. There are new numbers out this week on AI. AI is changing the world, upending the world, taking your job, re-organising your life... or it might do none of that. But according to PWC's first global AI jobs survey it will solve our productivity problem. This is good because this country is hopeless, and productivity has had any number of debates over the years about how to rev it up and all of them have

Alarm bells continue to be raised over the high number of vape stores within the community. Canterbury University research shows there are far more specialist vape shops situated in our most deprived neighbourhoods than anywhere else. Researcher Matt Hobbs told Mike Hosking that 30% are also within 400-metres of a school, and just over 70% are within 800-metres. He says vape-stores are far more prominent than things like liquor stores and gambling venues. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener

An industry in reportage appears to have sprouted. Never before have I seen such coverage of what the Government is being told about their new polices and how said polices are no good. What might be a bit misleading about all this reportage, apart from its increasing volume, is none of it is news. Everything from the Oranga Tamariki 7AA repeal, to the fast-track law, to the Waitangi Tribunal and ACT's Treaty bill, to charter schools, and to school lunches. Everyone who has a say has that say
