Resources Minister Shane Jones told Mike Hosking that he doesn’t want to catastrophize, but it’s very serious. He said that after a long period of noninvestment in and stigmatization of the gas sector, we’re now increasingly relying on Indonesian coal to keep the lights on. It

The latest CoreLogic First Home Buyers Report shows they made up 26% of purchases in the first quarter of 2024, above the long-term average of 21%.

A senior King’s Counsel has filed a complaint to the Government’s Regulations Review Committee over incoming compulsory tikanga Māori studies for law students.

Mike's Minute: We don't need as many councillors or MPs

The Mike Hosking Breakfast ·

2024/05/06

We have a lot to thank Jamie Arbuckle for. Jamie is a Marlborough councillor and an MP for New Zealand First. He is this week's political headline because he has two jobs and two salaries and has, for now, decided to keep all of them. We thank him because it proves without a shadow of a doubt that one, if not two of these jobs aren't actual jobs as you and I might know them. Thus, it allows him to do what he calls, and the system calls, two jobs for salaries and seemingly not work himself into an
