Supporters and sceptics of Wikileaks founder Julian Assange are speaking out at news of his release. The 52-year-old is a few hours away from pleading guilty to a US espionage charge and will be sentenced to time already served. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking that there's been condemnation but also celebration from those closest to him. Assange's wife and lawyer, Stella, says it's been a whirlwind of emotions, and she is elated. However, Richard Arnold says, some media

66% of New Zealand's mayors have signed a letter against the Government's Māori ward changes but one mayor says it's a good thing. A Parliament select committee's recommended the Māori Wards Bill go ahead. It will force councils which established Māori wards since 2021 to hold a referendum in next year's local election on whether they should stay. Timaru Mayor Nigel Bowen didn't sign onto the letter and told Mike Hosking that the Government's proposal makes sense. He says if councils want to

Reform may have hit its peak but it’s position in the polls is a cause for concern for the Tories. The party had a surge over the weekend, leaving it ahead of the Conservative Party in the polls, but their lead is “nowhere near enough” to concern Labour, UK Correspondent Rod Liddle said. He told Mike Hosking that it’s enough to ensure the Tories are down to between 50 to 70 seats at most. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So it seems we have ended up with three stories. But all three stories have the same outworkings - we look like a basket case of a country, but we got there three different ways. First is the plane. That’s on the Government, and indeed various Governments, who failed to take defence expenditure seriously and it's caught them out. Like NATO, member countries promise to spend 2% of their GDP on it, but don’t. Until Putin rolls into Ukraine and then they panic. We talk it up here as vital, but

Total exports reached an all-time high in May despite a continued downward trend in the Chinese market. Last month's exports were valued at $7.2 billion for the first time. China was the number one market, but beef exports dropped 45% compared to last year. Export NZ advocacy director Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that she believes Chinese demand will come back because they are so large. She says the growth won't be as big as it's been for the last five-to-ten years, as their economy is

The Scott Robertson All Blacks Era has officially begun. Yesterday saw him announce his first squad, with Scott Barrett taking the captaincy and Ardie Savea and Jodie Barrett filling the role of deputies. Robertson told Mike Hosking that it was good to get on with it as they’ve been tracking the players for a long time, so it felt to goof to finalise the squad and put it out there. He’s not yet sure how different his era of the All Blacks is going to be, but a big part of what he’d like to do is

There’s a belief that regular check-ins for beneficiaries will result in more people working.

Former WINZ boss Christine Rankin told Mike Hosking that there's a huge need for the entry-level jobs in question.

Someone will be paying the price for last week's power outage in Northland. A pylon toppled over on Thursday after too many nuts were removed from the legs, letting it tip over. Transpower says it's an inconceivable and unprecedented situation, and consumers can apply for compensation through their retailer.

An excellent outcome from a terrible process. That's Medical Oncologist Chris Jackson's summation of Pharmac's latest funding boost. The Government's committing $604 million to cover funding for 54 new medicines, including 26 cancer treatments. Jackson says we have to be careful about implementation because dumping 26 cancer medicines into the system at once could create a capacity demand issue. He told Mike Hosking that a number of cancer services around the country are already stretched

Saturday’s match is one the Warriors will want to forget. The side was annihilated in NRL's round 16 by the bottom-of-the-table Titans 66-6 in the Gold Coast. They conceded 11 tries to Te Maire Martin's one. Former Kiwi and league commentator Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking “Around 70% of the crowd were Kiwis – basically a home game, but it was awkward to watch.” Barnett said “I don’t understand how a side can show so much effort in the past couple of years – and show up and get

It's also looking at establishing a new military style academy - currently in the pilot stage.
