2:32 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked2:32
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedYou can’t say we weren’t warned Nicola Willis would be taking to government spending like a butcher to a fresh carcass. She’s been saying it for months. Yesterday she halved the operating allowance to $1.3 billion. All this because she wants to do what she said she’s do, and that’s balance the books by 2029. The recession’s cut her tax take so you either push your surplus out or you trim your spending. Labour, of course, says this is austerity, it’s bad, and we should spending more not less. Well, we know where that got us, waist deep in our own shite. Shite that Willis is now wading her way through trying to clean up. Budgets are just bigger versions of what we all do in our own lives everyday. We make decisions and choices about how much to spend, to borrow, what we spend on and more importantly, what we don’t. And if you asked most Kiwis what they’re doing right now, are you doing a Hipkins.Are you borrowing and splashing the cash? Stacking the pantry? Making nice brand spanking new purchases? Or are you doing a Willis? Spending on the stuff you need, cutting the stuff you don’t, and trying to balance your budget so you can start paying down your debt? I reckon most kiwis are doing the latter. So on that score, she’s on the money. But here’s the thing to worry about, the political calculation for Budget 2025 will be very different to Budget 2026. You can get away with running a tight ship in the off-season but next year we’re going to the polls. Just look across the Tasman for a look at how mad that makes us and by extension our politicians. Albanese's borrowing so much for his election promises that Standard and Poor’s threatening to downgrade their AAA credit rating. There's debt-funded election spending so out the gate it’s pushing government outlays to its highest level since World War Two. They’re now promising to cut $7 billion plus out of the public service least they push the boat out too far. The coalition’s been dining out in the credit card too. Not just the lefties. And this is the lesson and the warning. Being frugal and thrifty is easy when you’re not trying to buy an election. So yes, Willis is making the right noises for now, but next year, might just be a different story. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedHere we go again with the whinge fest about Air New Zealand's prices. I get it. I try book the same flights as everybody else and when you're trying to fly some obscure route from this province to province its gets expensive. Quickly. But here we are again with politicians telling us fibs - telling us they can wave a magic wand and fix all of our problems. This time is James Meager - going in to bat for the South Island. He says flying shouldn't just be for the rich, the government is going to take action and is talking about underwriting airlines. Do we want the government underwriting the purchase of turbo prop planes? Really? We've heard this all before of course. They've gone after the banks, the supermarkets, and the price of petrol. I can't tell you how many painstaking and frustrating interviews I've done with ministers of all colours and stripes who swear black and blue they'll sort it out and then don't. What's worse? The person that punches you in the nose? Or the doctor that says they'll fix it when they know you can't? Here's the thing, if you wanna book the main trunk line, it's relatively inexpensive, providing you're not booking last minute. There's Jetstar keeping Air New Zealand honest. That's competition. But if you're flying Kerikeri to Dunedin tomorrow, guess what? It will cost plenty. Why? Because they've got you over a barrel. You need to fly. It's short notice. 8000 people live in Kerikeri and 130,000 in Dunedin, these routes are often empty. The fact is running a profitable airline in a sparsely populated country is bloody difficult. And we want them to be profitable, otherwise we have no airline and we're a backwater banana republic. And the regional players - they're no better off. Air Chathams the other week was threatening to pull out of Whakatane unless the council paid for a new Cessna. Everyone compares us to the Australians - but have a look at outback Queensland. You pay thousands just to get to Brisbane. Show me a headline about flights being cheaper from Dunedin to Bali than Dunedin to Auckland and I'll show you one about Mount Isa to Brisbane and Brisbane to Canada. Population matters and guess what? We're a blip on the radar. And as for the promise that some politician will swoop in and save the day - it's about as reliable as planes.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThere was a priest on the news last night talking about homeless people the cost of buying a house in New Zealand. This priest, who was all dressed up in his garb, then mentioned the fact there were marina berths down at the waterfront bursting at the seams with super yachts. I thought that was such an odd thing to say. I know the church's role is to help the poor. And they do that and I've seen them do that. And that's fantastic. But to then also blame the wealthy for not helping the poor - is that helping? Or is that politics? The church and state have been clashing of late. We saw all those quote 'faith leaders' come out during the Treaty Principles Bill bill debate and give David Seymour a bollocking. What exactly is the end game here? Are they, like the good bishop Brian Tamaki, keen on getting into parliament themselves? The Salvation Army does a report every year looking at the wealth of billionaires. There's a lot of finger pointing and tisk-tisking about those who've accumulated a lot. What about those who've got a lot, but also give a lot? For a good example, we need look no further than the Catholic Church itself. It is one of the largest and wealthiest organisations in the world. The Vatican, because of its small population and huge tithings from working and poor people the world over, is the 18th wealthiest nation in the world per capita. They boast a huge real estate portfolio. The men who run the roost, the cardinals and bishops and what not, are all fed and watered by the women who really run the place, the nuns. It's not a hard life they lead. Is it? It's hardly struggle street. It's hard to work out exactly what it's worth all up. But media reports anywhere between 73 and 250 billion bucks. So more than the combined wealth of all the the billionaires this country's ever known. To be honest - none of this bothers me. I believe everybody should believe in what ever god and afterlife they want to. That's religious freedom. I respect your right to think and pray as you want. But if you're going to preach for the poor and against the wealthy, perhaps getting your own house in order might be a good place to start. Least you come across a tad hypocritical.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedSometimes being the grown up in the room is deeply unfulfilling, pragmatic, sensible. Considering consequences, taking a long-term view, they're all good, admirable words, and we should take some solace in them. But sometimes I think we'd rather just throw a plate at the wall. And so, it is. Was the government's response yesterday to the Trump tariffs essentially to roll over and take it understandable? Sure. Sensible. Yep, frustrating. Very. The government confirmed we're not in the queue to negotiate a trade deal with President Trump's administration, nor are we interested in taking legal action over it, and the tariff hit will come after exporters had an excellent March. It's a shame the party music has hit a bum-note, we want the growth. We want good export news, but without the dark tariff cloud lingering in the distance. As Trade Minister Todd McClay said yesterday, we probably couldn't negotiate between below the current 10% rate and the legal process would be long winded and would probably go nowhere. I'm presuming, like the majority of us who aren't diplomats and haven't been in a room negotiating a trade deal, this is a well-considered plan. One based on experience and insider information, but perhaps also because making a fuss could have unintended consequences and result in even higher tariffs. It also makes sense to keep our head down until our two biggest trading partners, China and US, have sorted out their own tiff. We need to ensure both are feeling valued by us and not be seen to take sides as we focus on growing our trademark. Will the plate throwers get sensible? Trump stated during a White House news conference that the final tariff rate with China would come down substantially from the current 145%. He said the US would be very nice to China and not play hardball. Trump's remarks towards China come on the same day the IMF released a new report showing the United States faces the biggest downgrade among advanced countries due to the increase in tariffs and the uncertainty they've caused. The IMF predicts the US economy will grow 1.8% this year, down from the estimated 2.7%.And there's a 40% chance of recession. So, is this a case of Trump blinking in a first sign of some steps towards stabilizing global trade? Is it a move by Trump to calm the nerves? The markets responded well to both Trump's tariff call on China and his remarks. He has no intention of firing the Federal Reserve chair. I don't think anyone knows what's to come next or how Trump will respond to Chinese social media hashtags such as Trump admitted defeat , but I much prefer the adult Trump rather than the one throwing plates. In the meantime, New Zealand shall remain patient and diplomatic, settle in and see what change may occur again. Before the 90-day pause is up.

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedNew Zealand’s new bill is finding support from a women’s sport advocacy group. The new bill wants to codify sex-based language, defining a woman as an “adult human biological female” and a man as an “adult human biological male”. It comes as Britain’s Highest Court ruled that only biological women —not trans women— meet a definition of a woman under equity laws. Save Women’s Sport Australasia NZ Spokeswoman Ro Edge told Francesca Rudkin the bill is a protection for the sex-based rights of women. She says all it does is reinforce the urgent need for the likes of Sport New Zealand to prioritise and protect safety and fairness for biological women. Edge says they play sports with their bodies, not their identities. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

1 Francesca Rudkin: We have control of our notifications 2:45
2:45 Play Later Play Later Lists Like Liked2:45
Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedThere has been a clever marketing campaign from 2degrees this week. The telco has released the results of a study it commissioned into the impact mobile phones are having on our mental health. It’s not good. While most telco’s like to concentrate on keeping us connected, 2 Degrees has taken a slightly different approach with this one, acknowledging the elephant in the room by talking honestly and openly about the damage phones can do. It’s almost like they care. Which is quite refreshing. I probably sound a bit sceptical, but I’m less fussed about a smart approach to promote a brand than the more important point that it’s absolutely crazy we’re letting our phones negatively impact our lives. It simply doesn’t need to be this way. One of the things the survey looked at was the role notifications play in adults' daily lives. What they discovered was 50% of Kiwis receive too many notifications. 37% feel overwhelmed, panicked, or anxious. 30% struggle to concentrate due to the notifications. 46% of Gen Z respondents and 40% find it difficult to concentrate. The biggest culprits are social media (65%) and email (60%). I told you it wasn’t great news. But as concerning as these figures are the crazy thing about it is that this is on us - we can control our notifications. We can turn them off or silence them. We can take control of apps by doing things like deleting and restoring them throughout the week so they’re not constantly available. And if you don’t know how to do it, you do what I do and find a younger person to do it for you. We can come to terms with never having an empty inbox, and not feel the pressure to try. We can make rules about scrolling through emails after work. We can just put the phone down. It’s interesting to understand how the brain works in response to notifications. According to Kathryn Berkett, a neuroscience and digital wellbeing expert working alongside 2degrees on this project, notifications from phones trigger dopamine, making them highly addictive. She says our obsession with our phones are physically altering our brains, damaging our relationships, draining our energy, and reducing our overall wellbeing. I get it, it’s hard to make a change, but I'm absolutely certain that in 10 to 20 years we will look back and wonder what the hell we were thinking with the endless content, apps, notifications, likes and swipes. We can’t keep blaming the tech companies, we know what they’re in it for. We can’t keep blaming the tech, a lot of the tech is really cool and helpful. At some point we have to step up and take responsibility for how we use it. Thanks 2degrees for the reminder. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

1 Ernie Newman: Grocery Policy Expert on Costco's possible expansion to Wellington and Christchurch 5:08

Play Later Play Later Lists Like LikedCostco is assessing its options for a potential expansion. The US big box retail chain has seen a sharp rise in membership and revenue since opening in Auckland's Westgate in September 2022. It launched home delivery to members and non-members across Auckland last week, and is working on expanding to new regions. Grocery Policy Expert Ernie Newman told Francesca Rudkin that he’s not all that convinced this expansion will pan out. He says Costco is successful in the North American market as people are able to access it within a relatively short drive, but New Zealand is much more fragmented. Newman says that New Zealand supermarkets go to where the consumers are, but Costco expects the consumers to travel long distances to get to them.
