Join Jonathan Gagne and Brendan Russ on Reliability Radio as they sit down with passionate industry experts Dave Reiber from Reliabilityweb and Rich McInnes from Net Results. This episode dives deep into the urgent issue of the skilled trades gap – a "big hole that's getting bigger." Dave and Rich reveal the motivation behind their upcoming book, designed to be a conversation for everyone in the trades, from aspiring apprentices to seasoned leaders and organizational decision-makers. Hear fascinating historical insights on the origins of trades and guilds, and how artisans have shaped our world for millennia. Beyond the challenges, the discussion celebrates the pride, craftsmanship, and artistry of tradespeople, highlighting the often-overlooked value and legacy they create. Dave shares his personal journey from an electrician at General Motors to a global business manager, emphasizing the vast opportunities a trade career can unlock. Rich challenges the notion that AI will diminish the need for skilled hands, making a compelling case for the enduring importance of those who "bend pipe or solder a joint." They explore critical questions: How do we foster aspirational goals in the trades? What does "master of the master" truly mean? And how can we bridge the perception gap between college degrees and vocational skills, showing the incredible ROI of a trade career? This conversation is a powerful call to action, reminding us that tradespeople are the unsung heroes building our future, and they need our recognition and support.
The Nom-khubulwano Culture and Youth Development Organisation is clashing with the CRL Rights Commission over a controversial rule banning virginity testing for girls under 16. The organisation argues the practice helps curb teenage pregnancies and diseases, but the CRL insists it's only legal for girls 16 and older who give full consent. The dispute has ignited a heated debate between those fighting to preserve cultural traditions and authorities prioritizing child protection in KwaZulu-Natal. Elvis Presslin spoke to Nomkhubulwano President, Professor Nomagugu Ngobese
Isn't it cruelly, cruelly ironic that yesterday we were talking about just how tough it is in retail, and we have the news that after 145 years, Smith and Caughey's, the last of the great, grand department stores, famous for the high-end goods, the beautiful Christmas window displays, will close its doors for the final time by July 31st. Ninety-eight jobs will be lost, but it's more losing a bastion of retail, it goes beyond the closure of just the store. It survived two world wars and two severe depressions. It was battling online retail but then a “perfect storm” in 2024 and 2025 meant that it just couldn't carry on. Once it's gone, we won't be seeing the likes of that again. So ironic that we were talking just yesterday about the man from JLL saying we need more retail space, a quarter of a million more square metres of retail space over the next five years, and we were like really? How about filling the retail space that exists? That led into the conversation about just how tough it is selling stuff in this day and age. Mike Hosking was talking to Viv Beck of Heart of the City this morning, and they agreed that the changes made to the inner city had proved too difficult to navigate. “We hoped they'd be able to get through to the opening of the CRL and we have absolutely laid it out, clear as day, to both Auckland Council and Auckland Transport what they needed to do to reduce the barriers to get into the central city. And I think the lack of action is inexcusable. There are fundamental flaws in the way this is being managed, and it has to stop. “The reality is it's been an obsession with getting cars out. We've already lost 44% of them since 2015, and yet Auckland Transport seems to think fining people in our nighttime district in Queen Street is acceptable. But the reality is we've got so much good stuff and it is a positive future. The City Rail Link will make access easier, but we cannot tolerate this behaviour anymore. It has to stop.” There's so much that went wrong all at once, that so many businesses have been trying so hard to navigate and it's not just an Auckland. We're talking about Auckland right now, but look at Wellington and Hamilton as well. The inner cities are really struggling because of the ideological brain farts of city planners, because of the ideological bent to get vehicles out of the inner city without actually replacing them with any kind of decent public transport, because of Covid, because inner city hotels and motels were turned into waste stations for transients and waifs and strays making it an unappealing place to visit, because of online retail – there are so many reasons why it has been incredibly difficult. They're trying to hang on trying to hang on until the promise from these urban planners, the promises from the transport departments, the promises from the ideologues, that this is going to be a new and bright and beautiful future. That the streets are going to be teeming with throngs of happy people who are desperate to buy whatever it is you've got to buy. And so these businesses are hanging on by their fingernails. “Better days are coming. Better days are coming.” Well, some of them cannot hang on any longer, their fingernails are losing the grip in there, slowly scraping their way down the side of the wall. I was on Ponsonby Road yesterday and a fashion designer who's been on Ponsonby Road in the same store for 26 years, she's conceded defeat. She can't do it anymore, she said, she just can't. She's been waiting and waiting and waiting for things to come right and she's run out of money and run out of time. And again, it's the economy, it's Covid, it's the new employment relations rules, it's all of those things. And then just when things start to come right, along comes Trump. There's so much that's happening. But she also made the same comment that a lovely young woman from the New Zealand fashion powerhouse Zambezi made – Zambezi's not renewing its lease on Ponsonby Road. Both women said that along with all the difficult times they've experienced over the last five years, they said that their customer base had aged out and they weren't being replaced. That they were trying to reinvigorate their customer base, but the younger generation are just not interested in buying the more expensive New Zealand designed, New Zealand made fashion. The younger woman don't want to pay those prices. So, the kids may well bunk off school to take part in climate emergency protests, and they may well harangue the older generation for bequeathing them a world on fire, but they're not willing to settle for one outfit a year from a New Zealand designer when they could have 50 dresses from Temu. Rather than actually putting their money where their mouths are and not contributing to the ecological environmental climate change disaster of fast fashion, and rather than support New Zealand designers in New Zealand, machinists in New Zealand, pattern makers in New Zealand, they'll go and do their climate protests at lunchtime and then be home in time to make some clicks on Temu and Shein to get their fast fashion. You can see the mountain of fast fashion waste from space. And the kids could do something about it, but they choose not to. And that means that we're going to see more of these closures and more skills and crafts lost as the younger generation just don't care. So I don't think I'll be harangued by a young one about the state of the world anytime soon and take that lightly. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Public transport is brilliant when it works. You cannot beat it for convenience, for timeliness, for moving large numbers of people expeditiously and in an environmentally friendly-ish kind of a way, when it works. When it doesn't, it's a pain. Look at the poor Auckland rail commuters this morning – due to an infrastructure issue at Penrose, there were delays and cancellations. No services running through Newmarket on the Southern line, all Southern Line services were running via the Eastern Line, Onehunga line services cancelled until further notice. Just what you need, and not for the first time. Auckland's rail network rebuild started in January 2023 and in its final stages, as announced, there would be 96 days of train closures from Christmas 2025 through to January 2026. KiwiRail chief infrastructure officer Andre Lovatt said the work was critical to convert the existing network, which was designed for freight trains, to one that has the capacity to carry faster and more frequent trains, about 16 an hour when the CRL opens. And when they're running, and when it's working, and when there aren't closures, it will be brilliant. It will be a really efficient way of moving people about the city at critical times. A lot of the really long-term problems will have been fixed, he reckons, so that means they'll be able to focus on preventative maintenance, and he's promised the long periods of closure won't be required in the future once the work is done. The Government, too, appears to have faith in the rail network in our major cities as a means of transporting commuters. They also appear to have faith in its ability to shift freight, with the pre-Budget announcement of a $604 million investment in rail. Chris Bishop, the Minister for Transport, said investment in the Auckland and Wellington Metro network would enable vital and overdue work to be carried out. I thought vital and overdue work was already being carried out, but clearly there's more where that came from. A backlog of overdue renewals had made the services less reliable, with commuters experiencing ongoing disruption in recent years, and indeed this very morning that the announcement was made. Winston Peters, the Minister for Rail, says rail currently moves 13% of national freight and a quarter of New Zealand's exports, complementing the truckies during the short hauls. He says the rail network investment programme for 2024 -2027 is now funded, meaning maintenance, network operations, asset renewals and modest improvements are funded. We have a legacy for rail freight, says Winston Peters, and this builds on it. So there has been much investment in varying sorts of rail over the last two to three governments. Yes, we have a legacy of rail but clearly there is a commitment to a future for rail. Both in terms of Metro commuting and in terms of freight. I would love to see rail be a big part of our cities and of linking the provinces for commuters and of shifting freight – it's interoperable with the trucks. But we don't seem to have been terribly well served when it comes to getting value for money for our investment. I'm not even going to talk about light rail because I'll probably have a cardiac infarction and that will be the end of that, if you just think about the money that was wasted on that. We have a legacy of rail, is it a part of our future? I would really like to think so. I would really like to think that Andre Lovatt is right, that when it comes to Auckland in particular, all of the disruption and all of the inconvenience and all of the teeth grinding frustration of commuters will come to an end. The work will be done, they will get ahead of themselves in terms of renewals and remediation, and be able to be proactive in maintenance so that things don't come to a grinding halt. I would like to think that the rail tracks could be upgraded so that transport between our ports isn't just solely dependent on our trucks. That more of the load could be shifted onto rail making it easier for everybody – those using the road, the exporters, those working in the ports. But we have been so poorly served by the money that we've invested as taxpayers. We've earned the money, we have asked our bureaucrats and our governments to invest it wisely on our behalf. Most of us, I think, support some form of rail but I would really like to see more accountability for how it is spent and for delivery. KiwiRail says yes, you'll get that. We're getting ahead of ourselves by 2026, we'll be sweet. Do you believe that? Winston Peters says we have a legacy for rail freight. Do we have a future when it comes to rail freight? I'd really like to hear from those who do the heavy lifting for this country, metaphorically and literally. Can we have more than the 13% of national freight and a quarter of New Zealand's exports on rail? And when it comes to commuters do you have faith that this will be a brilliant, convenient, timely, fantastic way to travel in the near future? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

For the last five years the route 64 bus fare has been virtually free at just one cent to tag on, but come Sunday a full fare will apply. The bus service was originally established to accomodate for the closure of the Mount Eden railway station and the city's CRL project. But with 1.1 million passengers using the service since it began, it's quickly become a cost-effective staple for those wanting to get around Mount Eden, Grafton and Kingsland. Reporter Louise Ternouth hopped onboard for one of its last days as a one cent ride.

The almost three and a half kilometre long inaugural journey was made at a crawl; about five kilometres an hour overnight, meaning the loop took two and half hours in total while various underground checks were completed. The train ran south from Waitemata Station at Britomart under central Auckland past the new underground stations at Te Waihorotiu and Karanga-a-Hape to Maungawhau Station on the Western/North Auckland Line. Wayne Cooney, the Systems Director for the CRL spoke to Lisa Owen.

In capital-intensive industries, effective Asset Management is critical to profitability, ensuring that essential production assets are maintained at the lowest cost while maximizing availability and reliability. Asset Management encompasses three key elements: Work Management, Asset Strategies, and Defect Elimination. These elements, supported by strong leadership and collaboration between Production and Maintenance, form an interdependent framework to enhance reliability and mitigate costly failures. A lapse in any one area can jeopardize the overall success of the Asset Management strategy, leading to safety, quality, and environmental challenges alongside financial losses.This session will delve into assessing the current state of Asset Management, implementing and optimizing its core elements, and fostering a culture that prioritizes Reliability and Availability over superficial adherence to buzzwords. Participants will explore actionable strategies to reduce costs and improve operational outcomes for critical assets, setting a sustainable path forward for their organizations.Speaker:Blake Baca, BDB Solutions LLC owner and Asset Management CoachBlake Baca, is the owner of BDB Solutions LLC and an Asset Management Coach with over 35 years of industry experience in mining, refining, smelting, oil & gas, power generation, foundry, manufacturing, and material processing.

Well, in this episode we have 2 very interesting and challenging clinical situations. These come from real world clinical encounters so we thought we would share these with you because they are brain teasers and should be discussed. They both have to do with OB ultrasound. First, is there a “minimal” CRL to estimate gestational age? In other words, is there a CRL that is too small to be accurate? It's an intriguing question and we will give an answer! Second, in women with regular and predictable menstrual cycles that are every 21 or 35 days, how to we “reconcile” a CRL EGA since that CRL algorithm is based on a “typical 4-week cycle”? How can we? Should we adjust the sono dating? WE will review in this episode. PLUS, we will review the latest data on how AI can greatly impact gestational age calculation via ultrasound. So, we have 2 questions, and we will give 2 answers (2 x2)…Listen in for details.
On the Mike Hosking Breakfast Full Show Podcast for Tuesday 3rd of December, the benefit numbers are up, and the lower target set by the Government is the one most at risk of not being hit. The Prime Minister talks the Supreme Court decision on the Foreshore and Seabed Act, autopilot on our ships, and what's happening with the CRL. Ivan Cleary is currently the most successful coach in Australia and has a new book out around leadership and expertise. It piqued Mike's interest, and he had to ask him whether he wants to come back and coach the Warriors!

The new top cop says Aucklanders will be feeling better about a police station in the city's centre. Police plan to have the new Federal Street base open to the public by the middle of next year. It will sit close to Aotea Square and the new CRL station, making it easier to deploy officers right across the central city. Police Commissioner Richard Chambers told Mike Hosking that soon we'll have 51 beats working 24/7 around the community, increasing visibility and safety. He says it's back to basics policing, with officers walking the beat and getting to know the people around town. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
It's understandable Auckland CBD's retail and hospitality businesses' initial reaction was one of concern after learning Auckland's train network will close for 96 days in the final push to get the City Rail Link open in 2026. Devastated even. In years to come, we will take the CRL for granted as a valuable, normal part of a functioning, modern city. But almost a decade of disruption has taken a toll. This latest news will be triggering for those impacted. Yes, the rail network upgrades have to be done. Yes, better to bite the bullet now than drag this out for even longer. We are all desperate to cut the ribbon on the CRL and get on with life. But this news came out of the blue. It's only 7 weeks until the first shut down - from 27th December to 28th January. This is very short notice for businesses preparing for what they hope will be a busy summer season. It's frustrating. What helps manage the pain is how you consult, communicate information, and prepare for the inconvenience. AT said there will be extra buses to accommodate passengers during the rail closures, but acknowledges special events will be challenging. New Year's Eve, Sail GP, and the ASB Classic are all held over summer period when there will be train stoppages. Honestly, and I know it's hard for some of you to believe, but Auckland is a great place to be over summer. As long as you can get around. It's not like a sold out concert at Eden Park isn't challenging enough now for public transport. Which is something the CRL will improve. And this is the issue at the heart of it all - new infrastructure can breathe life into a city or region, we just don't want to live through the nightmare of building it. This is not just an Auckland problem. The Government has announced its preferred plan for Wellington is to build two new tunnels to funnel large numbers of cars into the central city. Thats going to be disruptive. I was in Christchurch this week, where there is real excitement about the stadium and the growth of the city - but what a ordeal the last 13 years have been. This week, Infrastructure Minister Chris Bishop released a discussion document which outlines the Infrastructure Commission's thinking for developing a 30 year National Infrastructure Plan. The idea is to create a bipartisan approach to infrastructure, to plan, fund and deliver what the country needs - but also what it can afford. It's a good, forward thinking, organised approach to infrastructure - the plan should be delivered by the end of 2025. It will provide a pipeline, which gives us a much clearer view of upcoming projects and an understanding of what's involved for those impacted. So, bring on the upgrades and improvements to our infrastructure, but bring the people along with you. It's not that hard, the Government must consult, communicate and - this is a really important bit- compensate those adversely impacted.

For 96 days Auckland will be a city without a functioning rail network. The trains will come to a complete standstill so that ageing infrastructure can be upgraded or replaced. It comes ahead of the opening of the long-awaited the City Rail Link. Transport Minister Simeon Brown said the work will have a significant impact on passengers and freight in Auckland, but it's the one last push that's needed to get the CRL over the line. The rail network will be completely closed for a month after Christmas and for 16 days across Easter Weekend plus there are further closures of 2 to 4 days throughout next year until another long shutdown after Christmas 2025 - and scheduled to be complete by January 2026. Businesses spoken to by Checkpoint today were not impressed that they found out about the closures through the media and some fear the disruption will be disastrous for their bottom line. Desley Simpson, the Acting Mayor of Auckland spoke to Susana Lei'ataua.

In too many organizations, we hear about the need to align the goals to drive better value, but no one wants to change what they or what they are measured by. In this special episode of Reliability Radio, we sit down with Ron Moore and have a frank conversation about what works and what doesn't work in the effort to achieve actual inter-department cooperation and partnership. Everyone on the reliability journey needs to tune in to this one!
Transport Minister Simeon Brown is confident in delivering Auckland's City Rail Link on time with no network issues. KiwiRail has assured the $5.5 billion project will cut delays down to a maximum of 1 minute 20 seconds when it opens in 2026. Official papers show Brown and Auckland mayor Wayne Brown are working to improve confidence in the wide rail network. Simeon Brown told Heather du Plessis-Allan he's also aware of the rail fatigue among Aucklanders. He says he gets the frustration about more maintenance and renewals and is determined to ensure they get as much done as possible. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
What can it do for me in Reliability and Asset Management? There are a lot of solutions in the market to help leverage data to create information with context to make decision. Jon Mortensen from IFS joins us to discuss this concept and what the capabilities are to unlock the power of data to move the needle on value creation at an organization.
Heart of the City is urging Auckland Council to follow the Wellington's lead on cracking down on people working from home. Public Service bosses are being told to manage staff working out of office as an agreement - not an entitlement. Heart of the City CEO Viv Beck says council workers are only required to come to the office three days a week. She says getting them back in the city is what the CBD needs. "There's no point waiting for the CRL and expecting 54,000 people to pop out every hour. We've actually got to keep the place alive and vibrant - and this is one way that would make a difference."

This conversation focuses on the steps that patient advocates took to educate the FDA on what patients wanted in a MASH drug label, in this case for Rezdiffra. It starts with Jeff McIntyre reflecting on apparent changes in how the FDA thinks about labeling since the initial obeticholic acid Complete Response Letter in 2020. His specific point: since that first CRL, GLI has worked closely with patient advocates, including those on this call, to educate the FDA on what their endpoints and considerations were around safety and efficacy and to help get Rezdiffra approved in the way that brings maximum benefit to patients. He points to biopsy as one proof point. More important, he believes the advocacy from patients has led to an approval process and label that “de-risks” the MASLD space for future investment. The other panelists agree. Wayne Eskridge points back to biopsy as a particularly critical issue. Jenn Jones believes the collective effort has improved accessibility as well. Tony Villiotti acknowledges a concern that the FDA had been “dismissive” during the Obeticholic Acid Advisory Committee last year and describes himself as “pleasantly surprised” by the patient centricity of the final Rezdiffra label. Louise Campbell says this label might become a “game changer” if it signals that Madrigal will help MASH patients, most of whom live with co-morbidities, get support in navigating their array of issues.As the conversation ends, Roger Green makes a specific point that Madrigal's offer to support medical exceptions signifies a deep understanding of the actual challenges to early uptake and a commitment to do better than companies in the past.
