New Zealand produces enough food to feed 40 million people. Some of it we consume and some some we export.
But a staggering 30% of the food we make or grow goes to waste.
Fruit and vegetables need to look a certain way to make it onto supermarket shelves – or they get tossed.
Angus Simms and his partner Katie Jackson wanted to tackle that problem - so they started Wonky Box three years ago.
This is the subs...
As you'll have heard in the news this morning, the Retirement Commissioner has called for a 10-year roadmap and cross-party agreement, following the release of its review of New Zealand's retirement system.
More Kiwis are living longer, working differently, and facing pressures around housing and care. We're facing a huge rise in the number of older people. At the same time, we're facing fewer working Kiwis who can pay for th...
A warning New Zealand needs to act quickly on strengthening our retirement income system.
The Retirement Commission's income policy review has found a longer-term political focus is needed to ensure future generations' certainty.
It makes 12 recommendations, including moving more quickly to implement KiwiSaver reforms, and harder strategies such as a new cross-party accord.

How common is it for people to be living double lives?
Former Deputy Police Commissioner Jevon McSkimming is awaiting sentence after pleading guilty to having child sexual exploitation and bestiality material on his work devices.
An IPCA report also found complaints of McSkimming being a sexual predator were ignored, the emails the woman sent instead being used to prosecute her for harassment.
Private Investigato...
How is it that the woman, who's at the centre of a cover-up by top brass within the Police, still has to go to court to defend two charges of causing harm by posting a digital communication? She's charged with harassing a police officer who was apparently investigating her accusations against that pervert McSkimming and with harassing the investigating police officer's wife.
She was charged in May of last year with causing h...
The revelation that the Deputy Commissioner of Police Jevon McSkimming was a predatory pervert was one thing. To find out that our most senior police officers were complicit in not only covering up his inappropriate behaviour, but then prosecuting, persecuting his victim is quite frankly horrifying.
I knew, many of you knew, Andrew Coster was an ineffectual toadying eunuch. Does anyone remember his one and only hour in the s...
At what point, when you're a business owner, do you decide that you've had enough? There was Covid, then there were the boom times, then there was the recession that seems to have gone on and on, there's a crisis in consumer confidence, there's global uncertainty that too has gone on and on. There are problems finding staff, there are problems keeping staff, there are problems finding work, problems with cash flow. At what point, w...
The BBC is facing accusations of bias, as well as a lawsuit, after a leaked memo suggests the Panorama programme edited one of Donald Trump’s speeches to imply he encouraged the Capitol Hill riots of January 2021.
The US President is demanding a full retraction and is threatening to sue for nearly 1.8 billion New Zealand dollars in damages.
The incident is doing nothing to raise trust in the media, or dispel concerns of...
Many businesses that limped through the pandemic are now going under.
Insolvency practitioners have been reporting a sharp rise in the number of insolvencies since mid-2022.
Smaller retail, hospitality, construction, transport and manufacturing operators are failing far more now than they were before the pandemic.
Waterstone Insolvency Principal Damien Grant told Kerre Woodham a lot of businesses are subject to ec...
So the government's Sunday sessions this year have involved announcements of all sorts of policies, ranging from ho-hum to meaningful.The announcement yesterday of the action plan against organised crime comes under the meaningful. Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith released what he called a bold and comprehensive action plan that aimed to disrupt supply, go after those who profit from the drug trade and rebuild communities afflicted ...
The Government's announced its methamphetamine action plan, calling the drug a 'scourge on our society'.

Justice Minister Paul Goldsmith says the prevention campaign will address importation, distribution and most importantly demand.

New Zealand has the third highest adult obesity rate in the OECD, and the rates are going up. One in three adult New Zealanders is classified as obese, and one in 10 children. Even if you take into account, yes, yes, yes, a lot of the All Blacks front row are considered obese if you use the BMI. And yes, you might have a slow metabolism or it's your hormones and there's nothing you can do about it, that's still a lot of fat people ...
The Prime Minister says he's confident a free trade agreement with India will get across the line soon.
Christopher Luxon denied negotiations had hit a rough patch after skipping Parliament last minute this week to meet with India’s Trade Minister.
He told Kerre Woodham India has very strong positions on certain aspects of trade.
Luxon says they’re really hard negotiators, but equally they want the best possible ...
Publicly funding weightloss drugs may not be the answer to the country’s obesity problem.
New Zealand has the third highest adult obesity rate in the OECD, with one in three adults classified as obese, and one in ten children.
Associate Minister of Health David Seymour believes publicly funding things like Wegovy would help save money in the long run.
But community leader and Founder of Butterbean Motivation, Da...
What do you do, when you have invested all your money into an idea you thought was going off, and then the whole world shuts down?
Do you try to fight on? Or do you completely change your business to survive?
That’s the decision Aidan Bartlett faced.
He’s the co-founder and chief Executive of online marketplace Designer Wardrobe. It was, once upon a time, a designer rental shop.
Covid-19 wrecked the busin...
It's one of those circular discussions, really, where people are extremely staunch in their opinion and no amount of debate can bring them over to the other side. A bit like the secondary tax discussion – you either think you're paying more tax, or you don't, you understand that it all comes out in the wash.
Sick leave is a bit like that. People either believe it's an entitlement and you use every single day of sick day ever...
The events calendar at Auckland's Eden Park could soon be a lot busier.
RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop has asked Auckland Council for feedback on a proposal to increase the number of concerts it hosts from 12 to 32 a year.
It's recommending the venue should be allowed to host up to 12 large concerts of more than 30 thousand attendees.
Eden Park CEO Nick Sautner told Kerre Woodham they’ve been hamstrung by so man...

160 thousand people have been looking for a job, while another 138 thousand have been wanting more work.
The Herald's Liam Dann told Kerre Woodham today's figures are exactly as forecast by economists.
He says the labour market will remain toug...
Can you believe the bean counters at ACC are taking the knife to its funding for Water Safety NZ?
Their reasoning is that they’ve poured all this money into Water Safety NZ but they’re not seeing a return on that investment. Which would be a reduction in drowning-related claims.
But I’m with Water Safety NZ, which is saying today that good progress has been made, and this funding cut will put everything at risk and ma...

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.
