2024/05/26

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. Working for your money and

An Associate Justice Minister says gun owners need to be proactive when seeking help for mental health. Firearm owners say they aren't reaching out when struggling for fear their firearms could be taken away by police. Nicole McKee — herself a former head of the country's Council of Licensed Firearms Owners — told Mike Hosking gun owners shouldn't be holding back from getting treatment. “If they’re not feeling that they’re mentally up to it, then they should offload their firearms to a friend or

A secondary principals leader says new money to recruit teachers is a good move. Education Minister Erica Stanford's announced a $53 million package to train and recruit 1500 teachers over four years. It includes establishing 1200 places for aspiring teachers to learn on the job, and funding to recruit overseas. Secondary Principals Association president Vaughan Couillault told Mike Hosking growing local teachers is especially important. He says the school-based training seems to be attractive to

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

A union hopes Thursday's Budget will fix longstanding issues with St John's resourcing. A Coroner suggests the ambulance service lobby the Government for more funding after an Auckland man watched his wife die despite calling 111 five times. First Union national organiser Faye McCann told Mike Hosking the crucial service should be fully funded by the Government — and not have to be a charity. “Year on year we seem to find ourselves in the same situation where St John makes the agreement with the

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

There’s a view it's not all teachers' fault for low pass rates in high school. New research has found a quarter of new primary school teachers failed maths and more than half failed science at NCEA Level One. More than half who pursued Level Two maths also failed. The Teaching Council's calling for more investment and widespread changes to how teachers are prepared for the classroom.

No one is likely to be completely satisfied with next week's Budget.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis says more spending cuts will be necessary due to the ongoing structural deficit.

Owning a car is getting more and more expensive. Online Insurance Platform Quashed reported a 40% increase in average comprehensive and third-party quotes over the last year. Stats NZ is reporting a 22.6% overall. Consumer NZ CEO John Duffy told Mike Hosking that there’s a lot of causes behind this, but a big one is unforeseen weather events such as Cyclone Gabrielle.

UK political commentator Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that despite that, Labour's not in a good position with its deputy being investigated by police and split views over Gaza.

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
