The irony is growing greater by the day. What to do with China? The Premier has been in New Zealand and Australia this past week. We rolled out the red carpet, they announced a visa deal for travellers and they also wanted us to put our differences aside. The differences were more pronounced in Australia. When Scott Morrison asked for an inquiry into the origins of Covid the Chinese went nuts, hit the tariff lever and punished Australia for a number of years on beef, and barley, and

The state of New Zealand's transport is becoming embarrassing according to a public transit advocate. The business case for two new Interislander ferries suggests maintenance costs for the current fleet will continue to rise and could soon reach $65 million a year.

Reform UK has launched their manifesto for the general election. A YouGov poll has placed Reform ahead of the Tories by one percent, Reform sitting at 19% and the Tories at 18%. UK Correspondent Rod Liddle told Mike Hosking that it's a second resurrection for leader Nigel Farage.

Mike's Minute: NZ needs offshore buying

2024/06/17

If a mistake was made during the coalition talks by National it was acquiescing to the NZ First demand that they keep people from offshore buying houses here. National had an elegant solution; anything under a couple of million was out of bounds, leaving that market for first home buyers. Then, the big end of town was open to the open market. Not only was it a mistake, for no real gain, it comes as somewhat ironic that the Prime Minister, quite rightly, is working as hard as any Prime Minister I
