Kerre Woodham: Transpower needs to take responsibility

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast ·

2024/08/02

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

This week Tony Astle ate at Bianca, a pasta shop and restaurant run by Hayden Phiskie. He sampled the perfectly executed cappelletti, the tortiglioni, the panna cotta, and gave the beef tartare four ticks.

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

ACT Leader David Seymour is alleging racism in Parliament over select committee tensions and claims of personal attacks towards MP Karen Chhour. The ACT Party says its confidence in the Speaker of the House is “falling by the day”, accusing Gerry Brownlee of failing to address racial harassment in Parliament. Seymour told Mike Hosking this morning they wrote to the Speaker, calling the issues 'serious.' He says the response suggested there was no issue. Former National MP and Speaker of the

Kerre Woodham: Let the police get back to policing

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast ·

2024/07/31

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

We thought we'd start this morning looking at the Justice Select Committee’s review of the Firearms Prohibition Orders Legislation Amendment Bill. Exciting stuff, it's all in the way you say it! This is something that is part of a suite of reforms that the government is bringing in to help crack down on gangs. It's the job of the Justice Select Committee, which is made-up of all parties, to take into account the views of citizens who make submissions to consider them, to consider the legislation,

Although Federated Farmers has found farmer confidence to be slipping, not every farmer feels that way. The latest Farm Confidence survey shows that 66% of farmers consider the current economic climate to be bad, which is up 11% since January. However, there are farmers who are keeping a more proactive, positive outlook, knowing that farming is a longterm game. Mark Guscott of Glen Eden Farm in South Wairarapa told Kerre Woodham that he tries to associate himself with clever and on to it people,

Officials have tried multiple times to build a life-saving disaster coordination system, similar to those other countries have invested in. But, New Zealand has shied away from its latest attempt, a Common Operation Platform. Minister for Emergency Management and Recovery Mark Mitchell tells Kerre Woodham many people are working to figure out a way to bring information together quickly during times of disaster – but it is a complex solution to find.

Kerre Woodham: Belief in boot camp participants is vital

2024/07/28

Ten young men will enter boot camp 2.0, more officially known as the Military Style Academy pilot. Not much is expected of these ten. Critics argue that boot camps are cruel and unusual punishment that don't work and have never worked, so they won't work for this lot. Supporters of the boot camps really just want to see a few of the worst oiks punished with no real expectation that they'll be able to make anything of themselves, so really not much is expected of these ten young men. It is true

For those older survivors of abuse in state and church care, I wonder if you ever, ever thought this day would come? When you could tell your story without fear of being further beaten and abused and called a liar. When you would be listened to and believed and told that the fault for what has happened to you, the grievous hurt that you have suffered, is not your fault. It's the fault of sadistic, depraved adults who should never have been put in the position of looking after vulnerable

So there she was yesterday, 2pm House of Parliament, one Darleen Tana.

Well, until the leader of Te Pati Maori came by and dropped a hongi on her, or them sorry, she's now a they/them, because she never walks alone.

I heard a shocking story about someone who went out on Saturday night and, over the course of about five hours, polished off a bottle of wine. They didn’t share it with someone else or with other people. A bottle of wine is what this person, themselves, drunk over about five hours while they were at some do, some party. Then guess what this person did? They got in their car to drive home. And this is one reason why I think we need to stop messing around when it comes to drink-driving, and why I

Kamala Harris could make history if the Democratic Party follows through in giving her the reigns.

It's no surprise really, given that National campaigned on getting tough on work-shy beneficiaries, that benefit sanctions have increased more than 50% since the same time last year. Last year Louise Upston said should National become the government, they would make it crystal clear to those who were receiving the job seeker benefit, what their obligations were and what the consequences would be if they refuse to do their bit.

The tide could be turning for those looking to buy a home. High interest rates are dropping, ANZ dropping its home loan rates amid falling inflation and a softened tone from the Reserve Bank. Westpac dropped their rates a week prior, cutting its 6, 12, and 18-month home loan rates. Property Commentator Ashley Church told Kerre Woodham it’s good news for the housing market.

The Government is no longer on track to meet its third emissions budget according to projections, and unless we meet those Paris commitments, billions of dollars could be sent offshore to pay for international climate mitigation. We failed to meet our budget. We failed to complete the plan and therefore we will be punished. Very bad news. But guess what? As of December 2023, not a single G20 country had policies in place that are consistent with their own commitments to the Paris Agreement’s goal

An article from Newsroom reveals that the dinner was excluded from his ministerial diary, Jones saying that the dinner was “informal” and “last-minute”. He then corrected himself, saying the dinner was arranged in advance. When questioned why the dinner wasn’t in the dairy, Jones said it was “less conspiracy more cock-up - and inattention in our office,” promising to tighten the administration of the diary for the
