Kerre Woodham: We have to manage our own health

Kerre Woodham Mornings Podcast ·

2023/11/15

Just when you thought it was safe to turn on the radio... Covid. We're experiencing a fifth wave of Covid-19 infections, with an increase in the number of infections. The officials are going by wastewater testing, which gives us a far better idea of the levels of Covid within the Community than the self-reporting numbers. When you test, when you find out you've got Covid, you're supposed to report it to the Ministry of Health. I'm not entirely sure people are doing it with the same head girl,

Te Whatu Ora is reminding us about the availability of Covid-19 antiviral medications for people at high risk, as we see a spike in cases. Recent testing has showed an increase in the virus in wastewater and there's been a rise in reported cases and deaths. They're also recommending that if people haven't had the booster that was recommended in April and May, they should get it now. General Practice New Zealand Chair, Dr Bryan Betty, told Kerre Woodham that one of the important distinctions to

Congestion charging... coming soon to a city near you! It might be Auckland Mayor, Wayne Brown, floating the idea for now, although he doesn't call it congestion charging. Last night with Heather du Plessis-Allan, he called it ‘time of use charging’, but you know potato, potato. But you can bet the dollars that will be flying out of your wallet that once it's in place in Auckland, other cities will be quick to follow. In fact, we had a caller just recently who suggested that Tauranga is looking

A couple of good news stories in the news cycle today - a rare and marvellous and wonderful thing! In light of the traffic and roading conversation we were having yesterday, great news that State Highway 25A between Kopu and Hikuai will reopen to traffic in time for Christmas, three months earlier than anticipated and under budget. I mean, it shocked me. The decking is complete on the new 124 metre viaduct bridge, which spans the abyss that severed the highway in late January. So fantastic news

So another week, another five days of negotiations it appears as National, Act and NZ First hammer out the conditions required for forming a government. Christopher Luxon, the Prime Minister-in-waiting, was on with Mike Hosking this morning and he says while the three parties may agree on most issues, there are sticking points - tax and ACT’s referendum on the Treaty clearly being two of them, given the pause of inner turmoil that occurred when Mike Hosking put the acid on Christopher Luxon. He

2023/11/10

I am absolutely confident that there is no corruption within our Electoral Commission. I do not believe for one wild second that they have been manipulating the voting system to get the result they want. Nor do I believe that they're being paid by Russia to produce the results Russia wants. And the reason I'm so confident is that they are so incompetent they wouldn't be able to deliver on the contract. They simply wouldn't be able to do it. The Electoral Commission has confirmed that along

In December 2021 Brittany Kremers, a then 25-year-old woman who was denied desperately needed facial surgery at the eleventh hour by the Christchurch DHB. The reason given was there was no funding available. Brittany had had her jaw and skull base removed, along with a life-threatening tumour, in 2006. A family friend set up a Give-a-little page which raised over $280 thousand dollars. Fast forward to now, nearly two years later and Brittany is still waiting for her life-changing

2023/11/08

A record surge of first-home buyers are in the market as prices come down. CoreLogic data shows people looking to buy their first home accounted for 27% of all purchases in the past three months. Despite stretched affordability, high interest rates, and cost of living pressures, first-home buyers still want a 'foot on the ladder'. CoreLogic Chief Property Economist Kelvin Davidson told Kerre Woodham that while their market share is at a record high, the number of deals overall is not. He said

It’s being billed as the best thing to happen to NZ’s pothole-margeddon problem since the infamous Pothole Penis Painter. For the first time in New Zealand, an all-in-one pothole repairing machine has arrived that is revolutionising pothole repairs worldwide. There is nothing else like it. The Pothole Pro repairs potholes in a fraction of the time and cost of current manual labour methods. It also means fewer orange road cones and fewer frustrated motorists.

I wasn't expecting to come home to a fully formed functional government. After all, the results of the specials were only announced on Friday and there are still a couple of electorates where it is absolutely worth going through and counting the votes again. As expected, National lost two seats after the count of special votes, while Te Pāti Māori gained two, and the Green Party has gained another. The margins in some electorates are in the single digits: - Te Pāti Māori candidate Takutai

I thought that one thing we’ve done over the past few days is put the Rugby World Cup Final disappointment behind us. We've dealt with the result, we've welcomed the team home, we’ve said farewell to a bunch of players —quite nice scenes at the airport I thought, with people warmly welcoming the All Blacks and Ian Foster home— and I thought that’s it. We can move on now. So, I admit it was with some shock that I clicked on to the New Zealand Herald website this morning to see the news that

I don’t mind telling you that I sort of avoided talking about this topic a couple of days ago because it’s simply grim. But the revelations are continuing following the death of baby Ru, with the latest including that the uncle of the slain toddler has criticized Oranga Tamariki saying that he asked the agency back in December to remove the child from the family home. And so, the Groundhog Day style naval gazing examination begins with the inevitable accusations that Oranga Tamariki is not up to the

An expected quarterly rise in our unemployment rate. Stats NZ data shows it's at 3.9% for the three months to September, up from 3.6% last quarter, and 3.2% a year ago. NZ Herald Business Editor, Liam Dann, told Tim Beveridge that while unemployment going up isn’t generally considered a good thing, a bit of “slack” in the labour market is needed to help combat inflation. He said that 3.9% is still, historically, very low. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I’ve gotta be honest with you that I’m feeling a little punch drunk digesting the latest stories and statistics about our health system under pressure. So, bear with me while I throw a few stats at you, just to package it all up. Hospital admissions for babies and pre-schoolers is up 35%, and those are the admissions that could have been prevented with better primary care. Up 35% in the year ending June. It’s even worse in Auckland, the stat is 66%. The number of patients waiting more than

2023/10/30

So, the new grocery commissioner says it's disappointing to see any potential supermarket competitor fail on the back of the news that Supie —an online retailer that had hoped to challenge the supermarket duopoly— had failed. It leaves us with the question as to what it is going to take to break open the supermarket duopoly. I’ll have to be honest that beyond being vaguely familiar with its name, I knew very little about Supie. To be really honest, I think “bugger all” might be more accurate

The real value of a more secure pipeline for our infrastructure could be billions. An Infrastructure New Zealand-commissioned report shows committing to a longer-term plan for our country's infrastructure could give us up to $33-billion more to invest in roads through to 2031. The Infometrics report says it could result in between 13 and 26.5% uptick in productivity and savings on future infrastructure projects.

A very simple headline grabbed me this morning: ‘We Need to get Better at Building Stuff’. Man, do we ever! It was the headline of an opinion piece by Josie Pagani in The Post about getting infrastructure moving in New Zealand. At the heart of her piece was a new report by Infrastructure New Zealand that looked at the quantifiable costs associated with around the timing, scope, and funding for New Zealand's infrastructure pipeline, and how a more certain pipeline might benefit the infrastructure

Do you get independent advice as to whether you're in the right fund? Do you have a number, the amount you would like to have to live your life on in retirement? Do you keep your eye on your fund and how your savings are progressing? Or have you, like me, signed up, made the contribution, thought good on me, I'm saving for my
