The Government has been forced to go back to the drawing board with the plans for the new Dunedin Hospital. An independent review has found the project as currently planned is 'probably not achievable' within the budget of $1.88 billion. Ministers Shane Reti and Chris Bishop have asked Health NZ for solutions and warned that upgrades to other hospitals are at risk if costs don't come down. Chris Bishop says there are two possible options to keep costs at the $1.88 billion cap. "One is that we

There's harsh criticism of Associate Education Minister David Seymour's push for prosecution of parents of continued truants. Seymour says parents could be fined in the most extreme cases as part of Government requirements for Stepped Attendance Response plans in schools by 2026. He's also insisting term-time teacher-only days need authorisation from the Education Minister. Northland Principal Pat Newman says this is a completely political move.

Interim CEO, John Journee says they get it right most of the time, but it needs to be all the time. "Part of it is strategy and part of it is execution.

That's quite the crackdown on truancy from David Seymour today - don't expect this to go down well with the teacher unions. So the first thing David Seymour's announced is that he's coming for the parents. He's bringing in the possibility of enforcing fines on parents who don't send their kids to school. Now, it's 100 percent that the excuse-makers of this country are gonna have a problem with this because it’s picking on the vulnerable, etc. Let me tell you something - school is compulsory in New

The Government has today started the process of overturning the ban on oil and gas exploration.

The Energy Minister has been quick to criticise Transpower's conduct that led to the collapse of a Northland power pylon. A new report by the Electricity Authority revealed one of the company's senior engineers had warned crews doing foundation work had knowledge gaps before the pylon toppled in June. Minister Simeon Brown says this failure was 'unacceptable' and 'avoidable'. "Ultimately, Transpower didn't do anything in relation to addressing those concerns in 2021 - and that has led to what
