  • Mark the Week: Hipkins is a hypocrite
    At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all. Attention seekers: 1/10 What a dreadful week as we gave far too much energy to narcissists who masquerade as people with causes, both at sea and on land. Noeline: 2/10 Still nothing. How badly handled can a badly handled scandal be handled? Winston Peters: 7/10 In between cleaning up the glass on his dog, his Pacific reset speech was a reminder of what a considered and sensible Foreign Minister he is. Chlöe Swarbrick: 1/10 The party under her leadership really has become farcical. If Palestine was a national park, it might make sense. Chris Hipkins: 3/10 Telling us how appalling it was that Winston's house got smashed but then didn’t vote for the new protest law. H.Y.P.O.C.R.I.T.E.

  • Richard Arnold: US Correspondent gives an update on the Gaza peace deal
    US President Donald Trump's confident the momentum will continue beyond the first phase of a Gaza peace plan. The Israeli Government's voting this morning on whether to implement the terms agreed with Hamas yesterday. It would see hostages released early next week and Israeli troops withdraw to agreed lines. US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking the remaining hostages are believed to be held by splinter groups, so getting them all together will be challenging.

  • Mike’s Minute: Winston Peters isn't wrong, just late
    I argued it because I thought it was the right thing to do. Winston Peters entered the Fonterra brands sale debate yesterday, I suspect because he thinks there are points to be scored. Not because he is wrong, because he isn't, but if you really cared about the sale that Fonterra has been involved with for some period of time, you might have stumped up a bit earlier. In a way it's none of our business, neither mine nor Peters’. We aren't farmers and we don’t have a vote. The people who do have a vote are in that process as we speak. My guess is it will romp home and each farmer on average will be several hundred thousand dollars better off. But there is also, as it's always been, the Fonterra social licence. Although the average punter doesn’t own them, or have a say, they are so big that their role in the New Zealand economy is outsized to the point that what they do has national implications. I have always argued that their argument for sale is wrong. There is, and never has been, any reason they can't and don’t run their brands successfully. They say it's not their core business. Isn't it? Milk turns into cheese and ice cream. Cheese and ice cream are the brands they are selling. The French company, also in the same business as Fonterra, doesn’t seem to see it that way either, otherwise they wouldn’t be stumping up over $4 billion for it. There is an agreement, and this is Peters' main point, that the new owner uses Fonterra products. But, says Peters, how long for, and when the clock stops, which it will, our milk will be in just another in a long line of milk jugs. Peters tosses in a bit of conspiracy about Fonterra executives and bonuses. But that’s the politics of it all. But then that’s always been the Peters way, hasn’t it? At its core he makes sense. He values New Zealand and New Zealand products, so his view is consistent. But then there is always a little conspiratorial spice for the headlines. If this sale was to be debated properly, far less halted, he needed to be front and centre ages ago. So overall, the Peters' foray – good point, just too late.

  • Paul Radisch: Former Kiwi Supercars driver ahead of Bathurst 1000 this weekend
    The Bathurst 1000 returns this weekend. The first practice has seen New Zealanders Ryan Wood, Matt Payne, and Andre Heimgartner sit first, fourth and eighth respectively. Brodie Kostecki is the current champion, looking to obtain back-to-back victories. Former Supercars driver Paul Radisch told Mike Hosking at the end of the day, everything just comes down to luck. He says that even if you’re leading the race and make all the right preparations, someone else could still claim the win. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
