Jason Pine, Andrew Saville and special guest Kate Hawke...
Big win for NZ Inc. and a lesson for everyone who doesn’t understand tariffs.
Donald Trump has cut tariffs on beef and the beneficiaries are largely New Zealand, Australia and Brazil.
Brazil has had a 50% tariff so they will be thrilled.
We are at 15% and it's 10% for Australia. We may not benefit as much but given we are “balling”, as they say anyway, anything that gives us a chance to sell more has got to be welcome.
The latest f...

The All Blacks lost to England 33-19 - a defeat that ends their hopes of an unbeaten Grand Slam tour.
The game at Twickenham saw the All Blacks start the match strong, but England's strong momentum in the second half, and a last minute try to rub salt in the wound, secured victory.
The crushing defeat has raised questions around Scott Robertson's coaching of the team.

It’s a slightly odd message from Labour over the Māori Party as they try and work out how to deal with them.
The truth is they will need them to form a government if they get their own numbers to a point of victory.
There is no way the Greens and Labour alone will come close to crossing the line first.
Small reiteration, in case you missed it a month or so back; none of this matters because the current Government ...

For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
