Some good news and some not-so-good news for retail crime. Let’s start with the good news – it’s Monday after all. Police data reveals that the figures are down for burglaries in Auckland. They are also down for abductions. Ram raids have continued to trend down to the lowest number of 15 percent in April this year compared to a high of 86 percent in 2022. Maybe those bollards and interventions have worked their magic and made it less fun to video a car crashing into shop, or maybe boot

Anger from transport operators who say something needs to change with the Interislander's Cook Strait ferry service. The provider is only operating one ferry currently after the Aratere suffered damage hitting a linkspan when docking in Wellington yesterday. The issue is under investigation by Interislander. KAM Transport manager Bill Bamber told Kerre Woodham it's not good enough. He says it's frustrating, and to describe it as a shambles would be an understatement. LISTEN ABOVE See

If it wasn't so vitally important, so serious, and so expensive, you would have to laugh, wouldn't you? Interislander’s Aratere ferry will be out of action today after it hit a linkspan coming into a berth in Wellington, damaging its hull. This is not their first rodeo when it comes to making mistakes. A string of incidents, if you will. Aratere suffered a reported staring failure on June 21st and ran aground in Picton shortly afterwards. It had only returned to full service late last month. What

2024/08/08

I'm not drinking at the moment, but that doesn't mean I think everybody should give it up. People can go to hell in their own way, and while there are a small number of people who cause disproportionate, dreadful harm because they don't know how to drink, the majority of New Zealanders can enjoy a tipple and go about their business without smashing up people, property, or themselves. So, if you like a drink, fill your boots, sláinte, cheers. But at the same time, I have no problem at all with the

2024/08/07

We're talking energy today, or rather the lack of it. New Zealand seems to have sleepwalked into an energy crisis, according to the Chairman of Open Country Dairy, the second biggest player in New Zealand's dairy export industry. Laurie Margrain said in a story the crisis is not coming, it's here. He said an example of its arrival is that the factory has had to incorporate standby coal-fired boilers into its brand-new Southland alternative-powered cheese factory, because of the certain risk of

New Zealand seems to have “sleepwalked” its way into an energy crisis. Both Winstone's Ohakune pulp and timber mills could shut, putting 300 jobs in the small central North Island town on the line. This is due to their energy bills have increased significantly for the company in recent years. John Harbord, Chair of the Major Electricity Users Group, told Kerre Woodham that if you go back six years, the price for a megawatt hour of electricity was about $75-80, and for the majority of the recent

New unemployment figures make a change in the Official Cash Rate now less likely. Stats NZ numbers out today show unemployment hit 4.6% in the June quarter, up from 4.3% in the March quarter. It's what the Reserve Bank predicted, although economists were forecasting 4.7%. Herald Business Editor at Large Liam Dann told Kerre Woodham any number above expectations would've made a cut more likely. He says it could still happen, but the interest markets that predict OCR changes had a cut next week

Energy Minister Shane Jones believes the situation of two potential mill closures is 'hideous.' Winstone's Ohakune pulp and timber mills could shut - putting 300 jobs in the small central North Island town on the line, as energy bills have increased significantly for the company in recent years. Open Country Dairy, the second-biggest player in New Zealand’s $26 billion dairy export industry, says action is needed now on New Zealand's electricity supply.

Kerre Woodham: Where do we put a bigger, better port?

2024/08/06

Let me take you back to the halcyon days pre-Covid. The biggest story around was Shane Jones and New Zealand First promising to make Northport the port of the future that New Zealand not only needed, but deserved. The port in Auckland was no longer fit for purpose. Northport would be the biggest infrastructure spend in New Zealand's history. It would revolutionise and revitalise Northland. There would be jobs, loads and loads of glorious jobs. The streets of Kamo and Kawakawa and Whangarei would be

Yes, the maths. You know, I know we've been talking about this, that we have been failing our children for decades now. This is not a previous Government issue, this is not of their making. This has been a long time coming. Where New Zealanders used to assume a world class education as their birth right, where anybody who was educated in New Zealand could stand amongst the brightest minds in the world, now we've had successive generations of children falling behind in every metric.

Mistakes happen. We get that, we've all made them. Some are more serious than others. Some are fixable, some are not. But as old Mr. Martin said in the LV Martin and TV ads, it's the putting right that counts. There was no doubt, almost from the time the Transpower pylon tower hit the ground, that somebody within that crew had made a fundamental error. We had callers in, the morning of the tower collapse, who pretty much delivered the same findings that the official investigators produced days

Bloody hell. If there is anyone who is entitled to go on a little light trauma induced shoplifting spree, it would be ACT MP Karen Chhour. For those who don't know her background, Karen grew up in the state care system. She was elected to parliament as an ACT Party MP in 2020 with the goal of reforming Oranga Tamariki, having seen rather more of it than most of us have. Before politics, she was self-employed in the New Zealand made clothing industry. She's a mother of four and she's lived on

There simply must be a better way of dealing with mental health patients rather than relying on police. For years now, police men and women have been left to pick up the pieces of broken minds because of a lack of resources within the beleaguered mental health sector. But more than the lack of resources is the lack of will on the part of the mental health sector. When you're overworked, when you're under resourced, and you have somebody else doing the heavy lifting, (that is the police) why on Earth

However, there are farmers who are keeping a more proactive, positive outlook, knowing that farming is a longterm game.
