"It was the right thing for the UK": Boris Johnson 'unapologetic' about Brexit
Boris Johnson is unapologetic about taking his country out of the European Union.
He's in New Zealand for a speaking event and to promote his book 'Unleashed'.
The former British Prime Minister says while there was panic about Brexit at the time, in the long term it's been good for the UK.
He told Kerre Woodham that th...

Some people think the Government’s offer of a $150,000 rapid payment to Lake Alice torture survivors is an insult, but I think it’s a mistake.
Not because I don’t think compensation should be paid. It’s just that I don’t think the Government should be offering it right now for people who went to Lake Alice between 1972 and 1977 and went through electric shock treatment or had paraldehyde injections. And here’s why. &nb...
If New Zealand was a company staring down the barrel of running at a loss for at least the next five years and finding itself needing to borrow $20 billion more than it thought it did just six months ago, it would be lights out, wouldn’t it?
And no amount of creative accounting could change that picture.
Essentially, that’s the state we find ourselves in after yesterday’s fiscal update from the Government. With pretty...
The Government thinks it’s getting all tough on it with local councils, but I think Christopher Luxon and Simeon Brown are just tinkering around the edges and they need to go harder.
Instead of just telling the councils what they expect of them, they should be telling councils that, for some of them, their days are numbered.
But essentially what the Government’s doing is it’s waving the stick on behalf of ratep...
Christopher Luxon says he wants nothing to do with the Greens while he's Prime Minister.
Luxon's confirmed a National-Greens Coalition wasn't off the cards when James Shaw was co-leader of the Green Party.
But he says the party has changed significantly under new leadership.
The Prime Minister told Kerre Woodham he had great respect for Shaw and his commitment to the environment, and would have been prepared to wo...
The Salvation Army is reiterating pleas for donations for Kiwis in need this Christmas and beyond, saying every cent adds up.
The charity says its appeal this year —which launched last month— is especially important, with one in five New Zealand children living in households struggling for food.
But it says they're in a Catch-22 this year – demand is rising, but donations are declining.
Captain Andrew Wilson, Dire...
Watercare’s seven year Central Interceptor project is over halfway complete.
The aim of the project is to reduce water overflow in the central Auckland area with the construction of New Zealand’s largest wastewater tunnel.
The team is about to hit the penultimate breakthrough before arriving at Point Erin Reserve in Herne Bay in March/April of 2025.
Watercare Chief Programme Delivery Officer Shayne Cunis told Ker...
How did you learn about sex? Was it your parents? Your friends? A nice, dry, factual at school, or Heaven forfend, the internet? I was at a Catholic girls’ school in the 80s —that would be the 1980s, not the 1880s just for clarification— and we got pretty much nothing, as you'd expect. I received the bare basics about body functions when I was at intermediate. Girls went one night to the school hall where a projector played an anci...

It is customary when governments announce restrictions on farmers’ ability to do anything that there be howls of protest – but not with this one. The Government has announced sweeping changes to limit the amount of full farm to forestry conversions. And the reason that there's very little in the way of dissent is that farming groups and rural communities have been raising concerns over the amount of productive farmland being conver...
Finance Minister Nicola Willis is promising tax changes ahead for charities and the closing of loopholes, and the details of that will be announced in next year's budget. And not before time, you'd have to say.
There's about $2 billion, it's estimated, in untaxed profit in the charitable sector, and politicians of varying hues have been eyeing up that revenue potential for some time. I think both Christopher Luxon and Chris ...
Charities are going to be seeing some changes to their taxes from next year.
Finance Minister Nicola Willis has confirmed that there will be tweaks to the charity tax regime, but she is mindful of striking the right balance.
They want to ensure that people can’t structure their affairs as charities while building up funds that aren’t used for charitable purposes.
Best Start and Sanitarium were examples she gave of...
As Jobseeker numbers continue to rise, the government has announced targeted management of Jobseeker beneficiaries. 8000 more people were receiving a Jobseeker benefit in the last quarter, and that'll come as no surprise to anyone who was reading the news and seeing factories closing, and more media outlets closing, and more jobs in the state sector being lost. The total number on Jobseeker benefit is just over 200,000. It’d be a b...
