The leader of the country's largest iwi is calling for the police to crackdown on drug dealers and methamphetamine use in Northland.
Ngāpuhi leader, Mane Tahere says he saw a group of youngsters smoking a meth pipe in daylight on the main street of Kaikohe - just down the road from the police station.
He's met with Police Minister Mark Mitchell - asking authorities to use tactics similar to the drug raids carried out in Opotiki las...
David Seymour is absolutely on the money with his call to cut the number of ministers in Cabinet and outside of Cabinet. In his speech yesterday, he proposed capping the number of ministers at 20 —currently there are 28— and scrapping the position of minister outside of Cabinet.
“Right now, there are ministers that have seven different departments. There are departments such as MBIE that answer...
A Hawke’s Bay group is helping households tackle food waste.
An average of 130,000 tonnes of food is wasted each year in New Zealand – 86kgs per household, resulting in $1326 down the drain.
Every Bite is a four-week programme run by Sustainable Hawke’s Bay, designed to help households become more food resourceful and reduce waste.
Acting General Manager Sam Paterson told Kerre Woodham the programme is teaching a ...
The Government has set a deadline for the new Interisland ferries.
Two new ferries are due to arrive in 2029, and the wharf currently home to the Aratere ferry is set to be demolished within a year to make room for infrastructure that can support the new ships.
Ferry Holdings Ltd has initiated discussions with KiwiRail and the Port of Marlborough to understand the infrastructure required to meet the deadline.

Can you copyright a recipe?
Two Australian cookbook authors are clashing over claims of plagiarised recipes.
Nagi Maehashi, who runs the popular food blog RecipeTin Eats, says influencer Brooke Bellamy's new cookbook ‘Bake with Brooki’ contains uncannily similar ingredients, quantities, and instructions for a caramel slice and baklava.
Food writer and cookbook Author Allyson Gofton told Kerre Woodham that since ...

Paua Wealth Management CEO Donna Nicolof told Kerre Woodham this is one of the single best initiatives implemented b...
Reducing the Interislander fleet by one could have wide-ranging implications, including on people's pockets.
Aratere will retire late this year or early next when demolition begins on its aged dock to add infrastructure for new ships.
Two new ferries aren't due until 2029.
Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Dom Kalasih told Kerre Woodham it could affect ferry fares – with the addition of supply chain ...
Although some towns are feeling the pinch after the opening of motorways that bypass their towns, not all are struggling.
More than 22,500 vehicles used to pass through Warkworth every day, but since the opening of the Ara Tūhono section of State Highway 1, businesses have reported a drop in business.
However, Ōtaki has been thriving since the opening of the Peka Peka to Ōtaki Expressway in 2022.
Ōtaki Business As...
It was really disturbing to read the opening paragraph of this story on the murder of Juliana Bonilla Herrera. Truly frightening. It reads that high risk offenders are regularly being paroled from prison and into the community. It came from a senior Corrections staff member who was speaking at the coronial inquest into the murder of the Columbian woman. There is a shortage of suitable rehabilitation and accommodation options for hi...
We know airfares are expensive, right? Everybody, and I mean everybody, I know who's booked flights recently has made the comment that an overseas flight is cheaper than flying just about anywhere around New Zealand – especially to the provincial centres. Easter was huge in terms of airfares, but even on your normal everyday Wednesday morning, flying to Timaru, flying to Tauranga, it's going to set you back a fortune.
We've ...
Airfares are still on the rise, and the Government is considering getting involved.
It hasn’t ruled out underwriting the expansion of small regional airlines to help maintain routes and keep the price of tickets competitive.
Associate Transport Minister in charge of Aviation, James Meager says he’s uncomfortable with the idea of flying becoming accessible only to the wealthy.
NZ Airports Association CEO Billie M...

If you’ve ever done a pre-school drop-off, what’s been the main thing going through your mind? Aside from ‘am I going to get to work on time?’.
Have you been more concerned about the safety and wellbeing of your child, grandchild, niece or nephew? Or have you been more concerned about the qualifications of the people working there?
For me, qualifications don’t even enter the equation.
I’ve had three kids go thr...
There’s a chance you'll think I sound like I’m contradicting myself with my views on NZ First jumping on the gender identity bandwagon.
Politicians love a good bandwagon and that’s what NZ First is riding with its members’ bill to legally clarify the definitions of man and woman.
I say they’re riding a bandwagon because it comes on the heels of the Supreme Court in Britain doing pretty much the exact same thing...
There’s only been one pope’s death that has really shocked me – and I don’t think it was because I was only 10 years old at the time.
It was September 1978 and I remember the shock vividly. John Paul I died just 33 days after becoming the Pope.
We were a Catholic family so it was all everyone seemed to be talking about. Not just because he had died, but because he died so soon after his inauguration.
So last ni...
I’m starting to wonder who isn’t running for mayor in Wellington.
Former Labour leader Andrew Little is the latest one joining the race to oust current mayor Tory Whanau.
And, just in case you think so, I’m not endorsing Andrew Little in any way, shape, or form. But I do think having former MPs on local councils is a very good thing.
Because whether we like it or not, local councils cannot operate in isol...
Inflation is officially on the rise again.
The latest Stats NZ figures show the Consumers Price Index rose 2.5% in the year to March – up from a 2.2% rise in the year to December.
The numbers cover the 12 months to March 31, and don't reflect the impact of Donald Trump's new tariffs and other new trade barriers.
NZ Herald Business Editor Liam Dann told John MacDonald that despite the increase, economists are reaso...
How are you feeling about the world, now that we know the Government’s goal of having 20,000 less violent crimes by 2029 has already been achieved? Four years early.
Anyone who tries to pick holes in this result would be a bit of a misery guts, because who could find anything possibly wrong with there being 20,000 less victims?
Try Ginny Andersen. Labour’s police spokesperson is saying today that the numbers rai...
