Chris Luxon says the Government would pay teachers and doctors more, if it could. Tens of thousands of education and health workers will walk of the job, in a massive super-strike on Thursday. They're wanting pay rises to keep up with inflation. But the Prime Minister told Mike Hosking the Government is dealing with a limited budget. He says if New Zealand was a wealthier economy, like Ireland, it could afford to pay its people more. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

Israel's struck dozens of targets in southern Gaza, in response to Hamas allegedly firing upon IDF troops. The delivery of aid has also been halted over the alleged violation. CBS correspondent Linda Gradstein says a delegation including the US Vice President JD Vance is expected to arrive in Israel tomorrow to push through the next stage of the deal. LISTEN ABOVESee

Another spike in inflation won't stop the Reserve Bank from cutting the Official Cash Rate again next month. Stats NZ is providing its latest quarterly CPI update at 10.45. Most economists expect it to hit the Reserve Bank's upper limit of three-percent, and some think it will surpass that limit. But Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Mike Hosking the Reserve Bank still thinks the economy's weak enough to start pushing inflation down. He says even the Reserve Bank probably won't be too

Dr Hosking would diagnose a kind of "funk" as a result of observations this week. There's been two very clear examples these past few days of good news, of uplifting events and of indisputable progress. Yet for too many it was not a reason to acknowledge, or accept, or congratulate, but rather moan a bit more or find a reason as to why it can't be so. The most obvious was the ceasefire and hostage-come-prisoner swap. As I said, peace in the Middle East is only ever temporary, but the bit we

There are fears that inflation could come back into the picture as the OCR falls. Infometrics expects the OCR to fall to 2.25% next month - it's 2.5% at the moment. Infometrics Chief Forecaster Gareth Kiernan says they expect to see growth hit 2.3% annual growth in 2027. He says alongside stoking inflation, it could create other problems. Kiernan says it risks stretching capacity in the construction and infrastructure sector. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Issues around potential defamatory claims on social media are in the spotlight - after false accusations against a Kiwi richlister. Mat Mowbray's been incorrectly named on Tiktok as the member of a wealthy family convicted of having child abuse material. The real person convicted has permanent name suppression.

The government has announced a climate adaptation plan to help handle floods, cyclones, and other natural disasters. Councils will now have to draw up 30-year plans, and a national flood map is due in 2027. Climate change minister Simon Watts told Mike Hosking that the current system lacks a coordinated approach to respond to natural hazards. “We don't have good data to make decisions, we don't have clear roles and responsibilities...we don't have a clear framework to deal with that reality.”

In one of life’s small ironies as the teachers spend another week immersed in industrial action, I got an email yesterday from a bloke who was taught by my mother in the ’90s. My mum was a teacher. I’m pretty sure she never went on strike. I certainly don’t remember a picket line, a placard, or days at home when I was a kid. In fact, even as a student, I don’t remember having a day off school because of strikes. I do remember a lot of kids in the class — one of today’s great complaints — wasn’t an

One of the great myths of the modern economy is the idea that young people can't afford a house. Now, the facts are that for every house sold, about a quarter of them, sometimes a little bit more, about 27% are in fact first-timers.That figure has been remarkably solid over any number of years in any type of market. Can it be expensive? Yes. Do some people miss out?Yes.Are some areas better or worse than others?Yes. But in a world where the negative sells, if you can convince people that the young

Chief Executive of the Broadcasting Standards Authority Stacey Wood told Mike Hosking that the BSA had long been debating expanding the boundaries of their jurisdiction. ‘Transmission of a programme by means of telecommunication includes the
