Four Auckland townhouses are on the market, as The Block NZ joins the local television scrap heap. The Brown's Bay homes were nearly ready for contestants on the house renovation show. But Newshub owner Warner Brothers Discovery has confirmed today it's pulling the next season. Host Mark Richardson says it's a shame to see the end of the show, which has been part of his life for 12 years.

On today's episode, we are talking to Lizzi Whaley, CEO of Spaceworks Interior Architecture. Lizzi joined Spaceworks Interior Architecture in 2004. But when she heard her company was selling up, she decided (as a 28 year old, single mum living with her parents) that if the business was to be sold then she wanted to be the purchaser. She bought the company and became chief executive in 2006. We'll discuss the mindset shift moving from employee to employer, the importance of focusing ‘in' on your people and how to lead when you yourself are going through personal changes.

A gravely ill baby at the centre of a high-profile legal battle will receive the blood transfusion doctors called for. A High Court judge has ruled in favour of Health New Zealand, which asked the court to take guardianship of the six-month-old. The boy's parents refused to let doctors use blood from Covid-vaccinated donors during a heart surgery he desperately needs. Herald reporter George Block says two doctors at Starship Hospital will assume responsibility of the child. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A High Court judge has reserved his decision on temporarily removing custody of a baby, whose parents don't want blood from Covid-vaccinated donors used in his life saving surgery. The parents say they won't permit the operation unless it uses blood from unvaccinated donors. Herald reporter George Block says Paul White, Te Whatu Ora's lawyer told the court this is a matter of life and death. "He said the survival of the baby who has suppression is dependent on the application for the guardianship transferred to the High Court being granted. And as expected, he said the safety of the vaccine has been established by the Court and shouldn't be re-litigated." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The country's housing market challenges have hit The Block NZ. Warner Brothers Discovery has revealed the show won't be back in 2023, even though it was announced as part of the network's annual showcase at the beginning of this month. It will be replaced by a Kiwi version of Australian format, House Rules. OneRoof property commentator, Ashley Church, says it's a wise decision. "It's probably just an exercising of caution, the concern these guys are going to have is that given the statements coming out of the Reserve Bank over the last couple of weeks indicating that they're going to drive the country into recession. That's going to impact on house prices." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Block NZ could have a bit to say about Auckland house prices.However, the issue of rising house prices is not just restricted to Auckland.The Block NZ winners Tim and Arthur made a take-home profit of $660,000 with their winnings of $100,000, which is 75 per cent more in their auction than 2016's winners made, which could be a reflection on the current market nationwide.Waikato will be moved down to Level 2 from tomorrow evening.As the country edges closer to the new traffic light system, the move may come as a bit of a surprise to Aucklanders heading into their thirteenth week of lockdown, despite having higher vaccine rates than Waikato. However, the Government considered having hard borders for DHBs with the lowest vaccination rates to replace Auckland's border.The government have taken a hit in the latest Colmar Brunton poll.Labour dropped two points to 41 per cent, with National gaining two points themselves to go up to 28.Jacinda Ardern also dropped five points to 39 per cent as preferred Prime Minister, with Judith Collins and David Seymour on five and 11 points respectively.  Listen above as Josie Pagani and Ben Thomas discuss the day's news with Heather du Plessis-Allan on The Huddle.

On the most dramatic season of The Block NZ yet, two boys from Te Kuiti aren't taking the bait. It was Master Bedroom week on The Block NZ when judge Jason Bonham opened the door and collapsed into a fit of laughter at apartment three's latest offering. Sure, it was an extremely blue room with weirdly-placed receding shelves, but it wasn't really funny. It wasn't funny as Lisa's “Eat Her Right” sign she tried to hang in in week one, it wasn't as funny as Mikaere's Jeepers Creepers hat and it certainly wasn't as funny as James Reid from The Feelers. “She's a bit of a kick in the guts eh, it's very hard,” says Sam, one half of ‘the boys' from Te Kuiti, who are slowly turning Apartment three into Jason Bonham's chuckle factory on this season of The Block NZ . “We work our guts out and so do our builders, so for them to just come in and giggle and laugh at our efforts is pretty disheartening.” His teammate Ethan is struggling to find the words to describe the judges, wary of being impolite. “I wanna say… they're rude.” Read the full post : https://wp.me/p532R6-QxF See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
