2023/07/25

The former head of Te Whatu Ora, Rob Campbell believes the lack of attention given to aged care is yet another example of politicians kicking the can down the road. In an opinion piece in Newsroom, Campbell writes that chronic underfunding by successive governments, has meant there has not been enough capital or operational investment in aged care facilities. Estimates indicate that by 2040 there will be 230,000 people over 85, and that on current trends, there will be about half or less the aged

You have to feel for Chris Hipkins as a person, don't you? As a boss, fresh from dealing with the shootings in downtown Auckland on the eve of the FIFA Women's World Cup, a few days later he then has to deal with one of the few remaining ministers formally known to be competent, self-destructing in spectacular fashion. The former Justice Minister Kiri Allan resigned this morning, after being charged with reckless driving and resisting arrest in Wellington last night. Now, I know it's probably an

If you were listening to the Mike Hosking Breakfast this morning, and why wouldn't you be? You would have heard the Police Commissioner and the Police Minister trying to explain the inexplicable. How a young man with violent tendencies had assaulted his partner, threatened to take out her family, was able to get his hands on a shotgun and wreak havoc with it in downtown Auckland, killing two, wounding eight. Ultimately, it comes down to a call by an individual judge - and they will never be able to

Following the shooting in Auckland's CBD yesterday, there has been much discussion around the merits of reducing prison numbers and scrutiny has come again on judges around sentencing. Labour might say there is no interference between the Government and the judiciary, but they campaigned on cutting prison numbers by a third. To discuss this, criminal lawyer, Marie Dhyrberg KC, joined Kerre Woodham Mornings. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There’s no doubt about it; New Zealanders are hard workers. But according to the productivity stats, we work hard and we worked dumb - like good, solid oxen. We put our necks under the yolks and we trudge up and down our respective paddocks, but our output simply doesn't match our input. The Productivity Commission released a report earlier this month and it shows that we work more hours per week than any other country in the OECD, but we are only 68 percent as productive. So we work way more and

New Zealand's inflation rate has taken another tumble - dropping from 6.7 percent to 6. Today's 0.7 point drop in the Consumer Price Index represents the largest fall in annual inflation in more than two years. Despite the drop, prices are still increasing at rates not seen since the 1990s. Food prices remain a major driver of the inflation - up more than 12 percent annually.

There's an interesting piece in Newsroom about social media groups tackling crime. More and more community groups are forming to report and sometimes solve local crime. The Hutt Valley Security Noticeboard has 14,000 members and was started by Jonathon Gilbert five years ago, after he was robbed and police couldn’t help.

What a weekend of sport. It's been exhausting — and that's just watching it. The All Blacks, the Warriors, a new Wimbledon champion who looks to be beginning a new era in men's tennis, and we have the FIFA Women's world cup kicking off this Thursday. So, a lovely weekend of escapist exhilaration — and now it's back to reality. Back to an election campaign, and a busy weekend for our politicians.

Watching Chris Hipkins igniting the bonfire of Labour's vanity projects when he took office earlier this year reminded me of the old Groucho Marx quote: “These are my principles, and if you don't like them, well, I have others.” I was reminded of this again when I heard Chris Hipkins rule out a wealth tax and capital gains tax as long as he is leader of the Labour Party. This had been something that dyed in the wool Labourites had prepared to die in a ditch for, until it looks like it's going to

Finally, finally, it appears that the motley, bedraggled, half plucked chickens that are Labour policies are coming home to roost. For me, my belief has been beggared that there is still people who will say, when asked by pollsters, ’why yes, I do believe Labour is the party for me when it comes to managing the economy and the country.’ When, surely, they have shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that the job of running the country is simply beyond them.

A high-level meeting between New Zealand and the UN nuclear watchdog took place on Monday, after a controversial go-ahead for dumping treated nuclear radioactive water into the Pacific. After a two-year review, the International Atomic Energy Agency have given it the green light - stating the release - over 30 to 40 years - will have a negligible impact on the environment. The water was tainted during the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster. Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta sat down with International

The election is just a matter of months away, and although nothing is certain, one thing we can be fairly sure of is that no one party will win a majority the size Labour did last time round, and that the next New Zealand Government will be cobbled together with minor parties. We'll either see a National/ACT, maybe another minor party coalition government or a Labour/Greens/Te Pati Maori kind of government. So when the minor parties come out with their manifestos and public pledges, it's worth

It's an election year, so of course the law and order drum is being beaten. It's beaten every time there's an election, with one side saying the other isn't doing a good job - but it's not just because it's an election. The law and order drum is being beaten because innocent New Zealanders are being beaten in their homes and their places of work, in the street. The hammer attack on a woman behind the counter of her dairy in broad daylight this week is yet another example, as if we needed any more of

The new draft focuses on contexts - the Earth system, biodiversity, food-energy-water, and infectious diseases. The writers argue they are going for a holistic approach, and that basic physics, chemistry and biology haven't gone ignored.

Newsroom reported on its website yesterday that targets or output measures for issues such as the time taken for police to respond to traffic emergencies and burglaries have been dramatically adjusted. Police have twice as long to get to emergency events in urban areas, 45 minutes in town, 60 minutes in rural areas, and they are required to respond to fewer burglaries within 48 hours.
