Today the Green Party announced their new energy policy to build a publicly owned electricity company called Kiwipower. The policy has a proposed $980 million four-year appropriation with the goal of cutting power bills and expanding renewable energy. "It's creating something called firming, which effectively is the power that kind of rumbles on in the background and is constant," Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick told Heather du Plessis-Allan. "These are the kinds of investments that are necessary for the sake of creating that secure and resilient energy system." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Greens have made an election pledge to make union membership automatic for new employees. Co-leader Marama Davidson says this members bill and policy would make union membership the default setting for new employees, who could choose to opt out. Davidson explained that unions are a critical way for workers to get better pay and conditions and this bill will make it easier for them to get involved. "This is a good idea, and of course we need to protect privacy - at the same time, normal accountabilities will apply." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Greens want to beef up water regulations, including clamping down on nitrate levels in fresh water. If elected, the party's promising stronger national standards for fresh water, more robust rules for wastewater discharges and phasing out synthetic nitrogen fertiliser. Co-leader Marama Davidson says farmers need clean water too, and it's important to phase out synthetic fertiliser. "Who is the political party that wants to protect safe drinking water? It is the Greens sending a clear signal to phase out synthetic fertiliser." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Te Pati Maori's troubles have resurfaced, with a former co-leader calling for a change in leadership. It comes after the party faced a period of turmoil and infighting, resulting in one of its MPs being expelled and another leaving to start her own party. Te Ururoa Flavell says he's been approached by many staunch supporters who were uncertain about how to vote.

A former Te Pāti Māori co-leader says the party can't box itself in, and needs to be inclusive. Te Ururoa Flavell believes it's lost its way with infighting, personal attacks, and poor leadership, and change is needed. He told Mike Hosking people on the ground are seriously questioning the direction of the party ahead of the election. Flavell says there'll be some backlash and doesn't believe the party will be able to hold onto the six seats it currently does. But current co-leader Debbie Ngarewa-Packer says she respects Flavell, but he's wrong, and the focus has to be changing the Government.

The Greens say they've 'had words' with one of the country's most well-known economists over a maths mistake in its tax policy. It's issued a correction, saying the policy released yesterday will increase net revenue $5.15 billion dollars in the 2027/28 financial year - not $5.35 billion. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says consultancy Infometrics - headed by Brad Olsen - had the job of analysing the policy figures. "It was supposed to be our insurance. This is, I think, just human error - and I know that Brad is also more than willing to front up for this." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Green Party says voters shouldn't have to guess who's numbers are right, as it pushes for a Parliamentary Budget Office. It says parties are already accusing each other of fiscal holes this year - highlighting the need for an independent office to cost election policies. The party's written to Finance Minister Nicola Willis and Labour's Barbara Edmonds, urging support. Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says there's demand for this on both sides of the political aisle. "Wouldn't it be useful to have an independent body that can say - hey look very clearly here, if we compare apples with apples in terms of uniform forecasting protocols, then this is demonstrably untrue. That would mean political parties would also tighten up their act." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Greens are calling for a beefed-up Privacy Commissioner to tackle major breaches. The party's campaigning on plans for the Commissioner to apply for penalties of up to $500 thousand for breaches by individuals, and $10 million for corporations. Any penalty would have to go before the courts. Greens Co-Leader Marama Davidson says the Manage My Health hack showed the need to close the gap allowing companies to treat New Zealanders' data as an afterthought. She told Heather du Plessis-Allan the proposal would see penalties match those given for breaches of the Commerce Act – bringing privacy protection up to where it should already be.

This week on That Tech Pod, Kevin and Laura talk with David Turner, Global Leader of Data & Analytics and Co-Leader of AI at FTI Consulting, about what it really means to operate at the center of data, AI, and high-stakes problem solving.David's career path might look straightforward, from Arthur Andersen to Capital One and then more than two decades at FTI, but he explains it was less about a master plan and more about finding the right environments and teams. Consulting, for him, became the place where he could continuously solve new, complex problems, often stepping in when companies are facing moments that feel existential.The conversation dives into AI quickly, cutting through the hype. David focuses on what actually works: real use cases, hands-on experience, and teams actively experimenting with tools. His view is that AI isn't something you can understand from a slide deck. It's a skill you build by using it, and the companies moving fastest are the ones sharing what's working internally. One of the biggest themes is how AI is reshaping the economics of consulting. If technology compresses time to insight, what happens to the billable hour? David doesn't see a clean break, but he does see a shift. Expertise becomes more valuable, and firms will need to get more creative with pricing, blending traditional models with outcome-based approaches depending on the work. They also spend time on risk, shaped in part by David's early experience during the collapse of Arthur Andersen. That moment reinforced that no firm is immune, and it continues to influence how he balances innovation with caution, especially in today's AI-driven environment. This is a grounded look at where AI is actually making an impact and where the real challenges still are.David Turner is the Global Leader of Data and Analytics and Co-Leader of AI at FTI Consulting, and now serves as the firm's Chief Technology Officer for client-facing technology. He works with executive teams on high-stakes challenges across investigations, litigation, compliance, and corporate transformation, helping organizations turn data into a real asset using advanced analytics and responsible AI. Over the course of his career, he's advised Fortune 500 companies, global law firms, and public sector clients, and has played a key role in shaping FTI's approach to AI and client-facing solutions.

Te Tai Tokerau is shaping up to be an electorate to watch this election. MP Mariameno Kapa-Kingi is splitting from Te Pāti Māori to form her own party after months of ructions between her and the party's leaders. She'll run in her electorate under a party of the same name. Former Māori Party Co-leader Te Ururoa Flavell told Mike Hosking she could win the seat as she has a foothold in an electorate already. But he says history is typically against smaller parties – particularly those wrapped around a single individual. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Social groups help people find community and connection Nearly one in six people globally are lonely, and every year about 871,000 deaths are linked to loneliness, according to the World Health Organization. But making friends as an adult can be difficult. Social isolation spiked during the COVID-19 pandemic, and even when communities reopened, many people never fully rebuilt their social circles. In 2023, former U.S. Surgeon General Vivek Murthy said that a lack of social connection can be as harmful as smoking up to 15 cigarettes a day, citing increased risks of heart disease, depression and premature death. Higher rates of loneliness were also found in communities of color, the LGBTQ+ community and in migrants. Wednesday on the "Sound of Ideas," we're talking about how people are pushing back against that trend by finding creative, unconventional ways to build community and make meaningful connections here in Northeast Ohio. Guests:- Brittany Marchetti, Founder, First Round Cleveland- Abigail Thomas, Creator and Co-Leader, Yap Out Yonder- Eileen Callahan, Member, Cle Gals Book Club- Rebecca Maxwell, Founder, She's Company "Godmother of Fashion" honored at Kent State University Twice a year, fashion designers converge in Manhattan for a weeklong display of what's new in wardrobe. But it was not always this way. We have the woman who has been dubbed the “godmother of fashion” to thank for this, Fern Mallis, who is being inducted into the Kent State University School of Fashion Hall of Fame this week. Mallis is famous for creating New York Fashion Week, with its predecessor event, "7th on Sixth," and getting fashion designers to collaborate and show up in the same space at a time when that was unheard of. Mallis was the Executive Director of the Council of Fashion Designers of America from 1991 to 2001, later serving as Senior Vice President of IMG Fashion. She has interviewed the greats as host of the "Fashion Icons" series at the 92nd Street Y such as Calvin Klein, Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs, Donna Karan, Michael Kors, Tommy Hilfiger, Betsey Johnson, Valentino and Diane von Fürstenberg. Now, the “Sound of Ideas” gets to ask her the questions. Mallis will be speaking about her career and the fashion industry in general at the KSU School of Fashion's annual Hall of Fame lecture on Friday, May 1 at 11 A.M in the university's Rockwell Hall. The lecture is free and open to the public. Guest:- Fern Mallis, 2026 Inductee, Kent State University School of Fashion Hall of Fame

This podcast is the audio from a Breastcancer.org webinar. In this candid conversation, Marisa Weiss, MD, Michele Ley, MD, FACS, Pamela Munster, MD, and Rachel Swart, MD, PhD share what they each experienced when they went from the role of healthcare provider to patient. Despite their medical training, many years of helping patients, and deep knowledge about breast cancer, they too felt their life come to a screeching halt when they were diagnosed. They spoke honestly about how they managed treatment decisions, returning to work, how the experience changed their interactions with their own patients, what everyone can learn about advocating for yourself, and much more. Their hope is that by sharing their stories, they can help others coping with the same challenges, and empower everyone affected by breast cancer.

A former co-leader of Te Pati Maori says he's sad and disappointed after the party chose to kick out a third of its caucus. Giles Dexter reports.

A sense the fall-out isn't over, after Te Pāti Māori's National Council has ejected two MPs from the party. Tākuta Ferris and Mariameno Kapa-Kingi are calling it unconstitutional, and will sit as independents in Parliament for now. It's after weeks of party in-fighting playing out in public.

In part three of Doug's three-part OBBBA discussion with Pat, they discuss the newly enacted OB3 reconciliation law, focusing on its permanent corporate and individual tax provisions, the recalibration of bonus depreciation, Section 174 expensing and Section 163(j); the Senate's redesign of GILTI, FDII and BEAT; Inflation Reduction Act rollbacks; Treasury's last-minute removal of Section 899; and the G7's surprise accord intended to exempt US-parented groups from Pillar Two's IIR and UTPR while elevating QDMTTs and compliance simplification. They map the procedural and legislative steps still needed, potential timing gaps, and why multinational groups must keep Pillar Two compliance front-of-mind.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Pat Brown, an International Tax Partner and Co-Leader of PwC's Washington National Tax Services practice. Pat previously served as the US Treasury's Deputy International Tax Counsel and has been a frequent guest on the podcast. Doug and Pat discuss the legislative and international tax implications of the 'One Big Beautiful Bill', including its procedural path through US Congress under budget reconciliation, and its implications for both domestic and cross-border taxpayers. They explore the bill's temporary business provisions, including TCJA 'orphan' fixes, and the evolving treatment of research expenses, bonus depreciation, and interest deductions. A major focus is Section 899—dubbed the 'super BEAT'—which targets foreign digital services taxes (DSTs), diverted profits taxes (DPTs), and Pillar Two's undertaxed profits rule (UTPR) with steep retaliatory measures. They also analyze the international negotiations around UTPR exemptions, the impact on treaty obligations, and the ongoing debate over treatment of US tax credits—particularly the R&D credit—under global minimum tax rules.

Doug McHoney (PwC's International Tax Services Global Leader) is joined by Pat Brown, an International Tax Partner and Co-Leader of PwC's Washington National Tax Services practice. Together, they unpack the state of US corporate tax policy in 2025, analyzing how regulatory, legislative, and geopolitical forces could shape the next era of taxation. Doug and Pat dissect the final regulations issued in the closing days of the Biden administration, including the controversial disregarded payment loss (DPL) regulations, finalized and proposed digital content and cloud sourcing rules, and updates on corporate basis-shifting transactions. With a new administration in power, they explore whether these rules will stand, be modified, or be repealed entirely—and what this means for business certainty and planning. The conversation then pivots to legislative challenges, as the expiration of key provisions from the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA) creates a ticking time bomb for tax policy.  Finally, they tackle the international tax front, where the US f administration responds to the OECD's Pillar Two and potential digital services tax (DST) retaliation under new proposals like Section 899.
