The Government's being warned it must invest in New Zealand's ageing infrastructure. It comes after a week of infrastructure woes, with the Defence Force plane breaking down, a toppled power pylon wiping out power to Northland, and the Aratere Interislander ferry running aground on Friday. Infrastructure NZ Policy Director, Michelle McCormick, told Mike Hosking “I think it’s terrible for New Zealand’s reputation.” McCormick said “I think it’s right across our infrastructure sectors - I think it's

The Purchasing Managers’ Index (PMI) has been very low in New Zealand – but it’s finding life in the United States services sector. JMI Wealth Director Andrew Kelleher told Mike Hosking “We’ve had some pretty poor data recently.” Kelleher said “It’s another set of statistics reminiscent of the GFC – that's the space we’re in.” LISTEN ABOVE.

Here is the real problem with a ferry running aground. It comes in the same week the plane didn’t work and the same week a transmission tower fell over. It's pathetic. This country is on its knees and it's embarrassing. As we said last week, the upside is it might just be so embarrassing we actually now get around to doing something about it. KiwiRail need an investigation into how they have run the business. Sadly, I note Helen Clark yet again weighed in via social media with another one of

United States and Israel relations are further unravelling after the latest move by Benjamin Netanyahu. The Israeli Prime Minister's released a video where he's attempting to remove the block on a US bomb shipment that was introduced last month. He says during World War II, Churchill told the US "give us the tools and we'll do the job". He's now telling the US give us the tools and we'll finish the job a lot faster. The White House has pushed back saying it doesn't know what Netanyahu's

Granny flats: 7/10 A common sense policy and we need more of it. GDP: 8/10 Come on! We beat Australia! Can't you feeeell the growth? Surely this makes us a rockstar economy again? Surely? Right?

2024/06/20

Think hard before you jump. That was a quote from the Reserve Bank economist Paul Conway in a speech this week, as he tried to explain monetary policy, inflation and our general mess of an economy. The comment was, in part, an answer to a question about whether the approach the bank had taken to the economy was the reason why so many New Zealanders were leaving. "Think hard before you jump." The prognosis he went on to say was good. He is right, to an extent. It always comes right. This

Threats of war are firing between Israel and Lebanon-based Hezbollah, sparking fears of a wider Middle East conflict. Israel's military says operational plans for an offensive in Lebanon have been approved. Meanwhile, Hezbollah says it would invade northern Israel should a war break out. Otago University Professor of Peace Studies Richard Jackson told Mike Hosking that it's unlikely Israel could take on both Hamas and Hezbollah, as the latter is a much bigger opponent.

It all comes down to Saturday, as the Chiefs face the Blues in the Super Rugby Final. They’re playing before a sold-out Eden Park, kick-off at 7:05pm. Chiefs Coach Clayton McMillan told Mike Hosking that while they lost their way a bit in the middle of the season, it was a reflection of them acknowledging some shifts they needed to make in their game, and then they got it going right at the end of the season.

Nearly 100,000 people spent the day without electricity in Northland after a transmission tower linking the region to the rest of the country collapsed. Power was restored to most of the region yesterday evening, but consumers were asked to conserve electricity and warned their hot water cylinders would remain off while the amount of energy getting into the area was limited.

Stonehenge being vandalised has been labelled as shameful. A pair of UK Just Stop Oil protestors have sprayed the ancient monument with orange paint a day before summer solstice celebrations start. They've been arrested on suspicion of damaging the prehistoric structure. UK correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking that the activists said they've made a point to the next Prime Minister to stop reliance on fossil fuels.

New Zealand Cricket Players Association boss Heath Mills is adamant athletes will keep having to choose between club and country until the global calendar is aligned. Kane Williamson has joined a growing list in turning down a central contract to pursue the overseas T20 dollar but will still be available to a large extent for the Black Caps across all formats. Mills says each national board and T20 league design their own schedules independently, rather than collaborating. He told Mike Hosking

On the fringes of the Prime Minister's Japan trip are two stories. The first is the plane that needs replacing and the second is C-listers. I very much doubt whether anyone who matters in Japan really shifted their thinking about New Zealand over such frippery. The plane is the more serious story, and needs addressing, and if any good comes out of a bad situation it might just be that things have got so comical, so third world, that we might actually get around to addressing the problem.
