Podcasts about Budget Day

The Budget's been picked up from the printers and the Finance Minister's promising no rainbows, no unicorns, and no BS. There's just one sleep to go until New Zealand finds out who's getting what - and where that money is going to come from. With a low operating allowance, the money is going to have to come from somewhere, with opposition parties poised and ready to scrutinise every line. Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.

The Pasifika community is bracing for what is expected to be tightened government spending.

Kaya Selby has more.

On today's First Up pod: our Tokyo correspondent Chris Gilbert updates us on the unfortunate trend of tourists getting stuck on Japan's mountains; we catch up with Black Ferns co captain Kennedy Tukuafu - after that nail biting draw against Canada on the weekend; we have the latest on the new deal between the UK and EU and with Budget Day this Thursday, Nicola Willis tells us she's sticking to tradition.

Buongiorno! Italia is going to host the 38th America's Cup in summer 2027. The Auld Mug once again heads to European waters - the first time the Italians will play host. They've had the World Series but never the big one. It'll be Mt Vesuvius in the background, not Rangitoto. Pizza lining the bellies of fans, not fish and chips. Auckland has missed, which we already knew. Athens has missed out. Giorgia Meloni's excited. Luna Rossa, obviously pumped. But the question for you this morning: do you wake up feeling jealous? Was there a pit of disappointment in your stomach? Do we lambaste our messily, stingy government for not prioritising a sailing race? My feelings are, well it's nice they have somewhere to sail and good luck to them. But I don't feel FOMO. We were on the hook for tens of millions of dollars - Wayne hasn't got his bed tax, yet. Politically, it was the right call, too. Imagine with this announcement coming a week out from Budget Day the outcry from the unions and Opposition. You're spending how much on men sailing round the harbour while cutting women's pay? Can you just imagine it? Plus, when we debated all this a few months back, we didn't know at that point Dalton was quietly walking away contract negotiations with Peter Burling. So, we would have spent millions a race for a boat with an Aussie at the helm, not our beloved Burling. And that's fine. We've had one before in Glen Ashby, but there's no doubt the preference was for Burling to continue. Grant Dalton told me that at the time. But there's a bigger point here. When times are tough, when the kitty's running on low, you can't afford the nice to haves. For Team New Zealand, that was Burling. For us, it was the competition itself. And if you're worried Dalton has regrets about Auckland failing to get a look in, take a look at the press release for today's announcement. He say's Italians, not us Kiwis, are quote "the most passionate and engaged America's Cup audience in the world and the city is the best option for growing global audiences". It's summer in Europe. If you're sailing mad, might be time to look at some flight options for a mid-winter getaway. Some difficult Captain's calls have been made, but for us, and for them, it sounds like they were necessary ones and the necessary choices are always the right ones.

The Clare based former President of the Irish Road Haulier's Association is warning further fuel hikes on Budget Day will cause extensive damage to the national economy, far beyond the haulage industry. It's expected a carbon tax increase of 2c per litre will be introduced on October 1st, which would make Ireland the most expensive country in Europe for Diesel. There has been some reprieve for motorists this week though, with reductions in the price of a barrel of Crude Oil reducing the price of Petrol and Diesel by 7c per litre respectively. Owner of Spa Transport in Ennis Eugene Drennan has been telling Clare FM's Daragh Dolan the situation is volatile though and there's a real risk the carbon tax hike will remove Ireland's competitive edge in the freight and goods exports market.

A Clare Government senator insists a new Model 3 hospital in the Midwest region can be funded without dipping into the Apple tax windfall. Speculation around how the State will spend the €14 billion in Apple tax revenue is continuing unabated as the Taoiseach has told members of his party that the money's use will be revealed on Budget Day. It's now over a week since the European Commission ruled that Apple must come up with the €13 billion in tax it failed to pay to the Irish Government. The ruling was the culmination of a long-running legal battle in which Ireland took the side of Apple. In 2016, the lower General Court of the European Court of Justice found that the American multinational corporation had underpaid taxes due to Ireland amounting to €13.1 billion between 2003 and 2014 which was a decision both Apple and the Government took umbrage at. Following the latest ruling, it's been confirmed the total amount in the third party account containing tax money owed by Apple is now €14.1 billion. Speaking in the Dáil, Finance Minister Jack Chambers has defended the Government's approach to the legal battle, claiming the case was "complex" and that the goal was to protect Ireland's tax sovereignty. Sinn Féin Finance Spokesperson Pearse Doherty has challenged this position, saying it's incredible the State fought so hard not to receive such a large amount of money given the service deficits in Ireland across multiple sectors. With calls coming from all sides for the windfall to be put towards improvements in health, housing, infrastructure and countless other areas, Taoiseach Simon Harris has told a Fine Gael party meeting that its use will be made known in Budget 2025 on October 1st. Sources close to the Taoiseach say he's suggested it will go towards infrastructure and investments which can "create a better future" but that the money will not fund day-to-day costs. Chief Executive of Ireland's Foreign Direct Investment Agency Michael Lohan says infrastructure in particular is essential to attract companies from abroad. Meelick Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe has this week called for a portion of the tax windfall to be set aside as funding for a new Model 3 hospital in the region. The Government has yet to commit to such a facility, with the findings of a HIQA review examining the need for a second emergency department in the region not expected to be released until May 2025. Tulla Fianna Fáil Senator Timmy Dooley insists the new emergency department should be in Clare but claims the State has enough in its coffers already to develop a funding stream.

UK Chancellor of the Exchequer Rachel Reeves says that they want to strengthen and deepen trade ties with the United States. She also says that the tax burden is high in the UK. Reeves spoke with Bloomberg's Joe Mathieu and Kailey Leinz.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Assistant Commissioner Mike Johnson speaks to Lisa Owen about police plans for the mass protests around the country on Budget Day.

Dundas Street employment lawyer Megan Vant speaks to Lisa Owen about workers' rights when it comes to the 'strike' organised for Budget Day.

Social Media posts published jointly with Te Pāti Māori are urging people to protest the Government's policies on Thursday - Budget Day - but the Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says it would be illegal to strike as part of a second National Māori Action Day. Te Pāti Māori co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Wednesday 29th of May, will the Reserve Bank's recently announced alterations to the debt-to-income ratio help or hinder the economy and housing market?  Is the protest organised by the Māori Party for Budget Day actually legal?

An employment lawyer warns that some workers will be liable for consequences for taking part in nationwide strikes tomorrow.  Toitu Te Tiriti is urging people to protest against the government's position on Māori and Te Tiriti on Budget Day.  Strikes need to be within a legal framework in the context of bargaining, or some health and safety issues.  Employment Lawyer Alastair Espie told Mike Hosking that communication with employers will be the key.  He says if people are expected at work tomorrow and participate in the protest regardless, they'll likely be breaking their contract.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Part of the day of upset, or protest, or whatever the Māori Party are calling it tomorrow, is about the way they feel they are being treated by this new Government.  So, although it's Budget Day, it's not really about the Budget.  It's about section 7AA of the Oranga Tamariki Act and the right to vote if councils unilaterally invoke Māori seats and the move to replace or repeal references to the Treaty in legislation.  One important thing that is worth remembering is the image that has been created by the coverage of the Māori Party that they somehow speak for all Māori, when they don't.  They speak for a small section of Māori. How do we know this? The first is their vote, which is tiny. The second is that 66% of the leadership of the Government is Māori.  Winston Peters and David Seymour are Māori and want nothing to do with the Māori Party way of approaching how this country is run.  Shane Jones, who is also Māori, is doing the business with the Treaty references.  The references in law are a vague sprinkling of virtue signalling as pedalled by the last Government.  They are not prescriptive, or specifically helpful, in just what it is you need to be looking at or doing when it comes to Māori and any given bit of law.  That is partly down to the fact the Treaty itself is a very broad-based document open to a lot of interpretation.  But by sprinkling references to the Treaty all over the place like pick n mix, you can be seen to be doing the right thing, as long as the right thing doesn't come with too many questions. That was the Labour Government wasn't it? Lots of feels or vibes and not being too strong on the ol' detail.  By having a reference in everything it allows those who use taxpayer money to support themselves to activate a bit of legal advice, or legal action, if you perceive the Treaty isn't being appropriately nodded to.  To cover themselves, those who have to adhere to these sort of practices then go about falling over themselves trying to second guess what an appropriate nod might look like in the hope they don't upset anyone.  No one is better off, apart from those who make a living off the gravy train. Everyone is confused, if not angry and angsty, and a lot of time and money has been wasted in the ensuing period.  So, if the Māori Party want to waste some more time tomorrow moaning, that's OK.  It's also a small price to pay if Shane is successful in ending the circus. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
