Otorohanga College is tomorrow joining the roll-call of schools shutting its boarding facilities. The Waikato school's board is putting it down to a lack of Education Ministry financial support. Losses over the past four years have totalled 600-thousand-dollars. It's also well below break-even for enrolment, with only about 25 students signed up to board next year. College Board Chair, Duncan Coull told Kerre Woodham numbers don't look likely to improve. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for

Only last Friday I think it was, we were talking about infrastructure and how New Zealand is one of the most expensive countries in the world to build new infrastructure, and the importance of having a bipartisan approach with a long-term vision, a pipeline that's going to deliver what the country needs over the next 30 or even 50 years. We had a really good discussion about this. Interestingly, a week later, an article in the New Zealand Herald today reveals warnings from Treasury that Labour's

I'm quite impressed that Mark Mitchell has made his letter of expectations to the Police Commissioner, Andrew Coster, public. Of course, it's normal for an incoming Police Minister to outline expectations to the Police Commissioner, a Commissioner, who's often been employed by the previous government. But this is the first time it has been released. While campaigning, Mitchell was reluctant to back Coster and initially I thought he'd released this letter to poke the bear, to put Coster on

I don't think any of us were hugely surprised to wake up this morning to the news that the latest PISA report shows that Kiwi kids aren't doing so well in maths, and to a lesser extent, science. PISA, or Programme for International Student Assessment, gives us a gauge on students’ maths, reading, and science literacy in every OECD country and in New Zealand. The report is based on assessing and surveying 4700 students aged 15, across 169 schools, and they did this test in term 3 of 2022. In the

How was your morning commute in your region? I'm not surprised that Te Pati Māori have chosen the first day of Parliament for the new Government to protest their plans to repeal the many policies that affect Māori. Te Pati Māori has always advocated strongly for their constituents, that's their purpose that's their job, and they take on activism with vigour. And I understand the concerns Māori have. A lot of positive work has been done over the last 40 years to provide equity and equality for

2023/12/03

Twenty-one days until Christmas and about now the pressure of the festive season and how you're going to pay for it might be on your mind. After a challenging year that has seen the price of almost everything rise, will Christmas be business as usual for you this year, or will it be Christmas on a budget? The cost of living crisis has been with us for a while now, but its impact continues to grow. It was announced yesterday that money withdrawn early from KiwiSaver funds due to financial hardship

I do wish that I could go around each and everyone of you handing out the government's press release, still warm off the gestetner with that delicious smell of meths (hold it up to your nose and inhale), so we could all have it in front of us to refer to. It is a work of art when it comes to a press release. Oh my goodness, companies, government departments, communications staff, take note. Two pages and it outlines their 100- Day Plan, and how does it do it? It lists them. It lists the 49

Well, hasn't taken that cranky old curmudgeon long to rark up the media and play to his supporters, throw his fans a bone. Winston Peters has a hate-hate relationship with the media, which served him very well in this last election campaign. Some people have always had a mistrust of the media. Some have a recently discovered mistrust of the media and believe all journalists to be the servants of the UN or whichever government happens to be in power or pizza paedophile rings, you know,

As Mike Hosking and I exchanged morning pleasantries today, I said to him “Wasn't Dr Shane Reti a breath of fresh air?” “Breath of fresh air?” said Mike, “He was a howling Nor Westerly of fresh air!” And by crikey, he was. Even those who didn't vote National must surely appreciate that here is a knowledgeable, passionate man in charge of his portfolio. He is under no illusions that New Zealand's health system is in dire straits. But he also understands that the system is absolutely underpinned by

Now the new Government has officially signed in this morning, and as Christopher Luxon said on Friday, he and his coalition Government cannot wait to get stuck in. The RMA reforms will be rolled back before Christmas, Three Waters gone, the ute tax is expected to be gone as well, and in a controversial move, the Government will not proceed with Labour's planned legislation that would restrict the number of retailers allowed to sell cigarettes. That would cut the amount of nicotine allowed in tobacco

Te Whatu Ora is standing by its $100 million consultant spend. This is despite it dropping from $139 million the year prior. Chief People Officer Andrew Slater told the Mike Hosking Breakfast they've tightened where they're using contractors and consultants and are focusing on making sure they have the appropriate expertise. He says it doesn't make sense to have some of these skills in house all the time. Former Chair of Te Whatu Ora, Rob Campbell, says the consultant spend is still excessive

The talk is over, the ink is dry on the contracts, let the governance begin. Prime Minister-in-waiting, Christopher Luxon, is due to speak this morning, giving us the broad shape of what the 54th New Zealand government will look like. And let's hope that once they start the governing proper, we see the last of these sorts of headlines: “Te Whatu Ora’s more than $100m consultant bill”. A $100 million on consultants. $70 million went to the big four firms. Deloittes, they were paid $43.6 million

Long coalition negotiations from the new about-to-be Government have seen a major economics consultancy downgrade its perception of New Zealand's political stability to its lowest rating in more than a decade. BMI, not the body mass index, but a consultancy group owned by the Fitch Group and one of the three big ratings agencies, docked New Zealand a couple of points in its Short-Term Political Risk Index (STPRI), which measures the country's political stability. Because there's been far too much

So it appears the policy has been hammered out, and it's just a matter of dealing with the positions within the new government. But when you're dealing with politicians and egos, it's no simple process. Some of the posts surely are obvious. Minister for Agriculture must be Andrew Hoggard, former Federated Farmer's head. Mark Mitchell for police, he's been in training for that job his whole working life. Erica Stanford for education. Even the most vainglorious of party leaders must acknowledge the

My mouth began to open in gobsmacked incredulity and then just as quickly snapped shut again. Yes, the Herald investigation that found Auckland Transport is spending on average $470,000 a pedestrian crossing is shocking. But those of us with memories, and indeed arses, like elephants, remember how much the Wellington City Council spent on their pedestrian crossing on Cobham Drive out towards the airport.

Now, a little bit of background. I'm no manager. I have only ever managed a couple of restaurants briefly and I wasn't a terribly good manager. I ended up about 3 months into my managerial position being sued for constructive dismissal after trying to say somebody was a bit rubbish at training the other waitresses, but he was still very good at what he did and he could stay on the same money. Apparently that's constructive dismissal. There we go. Expensive learning curve for the restaurant and for
