I hope Environment Canterbury isn't bothering listening to Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey. He's not impressed that the regional council is going to spend money doing a business case for a rail passenger service between Rangiora, Christchurch, and Rolleston. Matt Doocey says it's nothing more than a pie-in-the-sky idea and, given we're in a cost-of-living crisis, he says ECAN should stick to its knitting and focus on getting costs down and reducing rates. But what Matt Doocey should be doing —instead of criticising ECAN— is praising it for showing some initiative. He should be praising it for showing that it's prepared to do the kind of big sky, big picture thinking that local government hasn't been doing, and which we've been saying it should be doing. I think Doocey isn't reading the room, and I suspect that there will be a lot of excitement about ECAN pushing this rail idea. What's more, ECAN has put some money aside for a possible rail project. Plus, it's talking about not just limiting this rail passenger idea to Rangiora, Christchurch, and Rolleston. It's saying that, once up and running, the service could be extended to places like Amberley, Ashburton, Timaru, and even further south into Otago and Southland. I'm loving the idea. I'm also loving the fact that ECAN is prepared to put some skin in the game. To spend some money and find out once-and-for-all how much of a goer this could be. ECAN is onto something because if there's a common complaint about how the earthquake rebuild played out, it would be the fact that, despite all the talk that Christchurch was going to be the most modern city in the country, it's not. Because we've just stuck to the same old, same old when it comes to things like transport. And local government has to carry some of the blame for that. But now, ECAN wants to make good on that. What this comes down to for me is this: what do expect of local government? Do we just expect it to stick to its knitting and do the basic boring stuff? Or do we expect our councils to be the big picture thinkers? If you're like me and you want to see councils doing the big picture stuff, then you'll agree that we've lost the ability to think big. Mark my words, there'll be no shortage of people running in the local body elections later this year banging-on about sticking to the basics. Whereas ECAN is showing that it's thinking about the future, which is exactly the kind of thing I want to see not just from ECAN, but all our councils. Tell that to Waimakariri MP Matt Doocey, though. He's saying today: ‘Rather than coming up with pie in the sky motions, ECAN should focus on reducing rates which have rapidly increased - putting more pressure on ratepayers in a cost-of-living crisis.'' Compare that to the likes of ECAN councillor Joe Davies who is saying we can't wait 20 or 30 years, and we need a solution in the next five to ten years. He says: ‘There's a corridor already in place so there would be significantly lower set-up costs and this is an opportunity to link Rangiora and Rolleston to the city.'' So he sees opportunity. Matt Doocey sees obstacles. ECAN sees opportunity and is doing something about it, which is the approach I want to see a lot more of from our local councils.

Disclaimer: Satire On the news last night, it was nothing but scandal. Scandal. Scandal. I don't think I've seen political misconduct of this magnitude since Watergate. The Woodward and Bernsteins of our time were busy digging through documents, uncovering truth. Protecting democracy. From corruption. From evil. Erica Stanford, Minister of Education and obvious crook, first in the firing line. Her crime? Printing off work emails at home. Disgraceful. A two-part report from 1News leading the bulletin over consecutive nights details how this menace, flagrant in her disregard for best practice, printed papers from her home computer after emailing them to her own private email address. Why? I hear you ask. Why such an egregious act? Well it turns out, and this where the story really gets interesting, Parliamentary IT hadn't hooked up a printer in her office or home. So instead of ignoring her immense workload, switching off her computer and going to the pub like any decent politician, she emailed them to herself, printed them off. And worked late into the night. Outrageous. Other documents, other emails exclusively uncovered - the existence of which made possible because the Minister flagged them with officials for inclusion in future OIA requests. Like the one we're now looking at. So, brazen in flouting the rules she thought she'd never get caught. Shameless. One reporter noted Stanford was quote “safe for now”. It's at least on par with the Hegseth and his signal chat. Kiri Allen drunk driving then crashing a ministerial car before resisting arrest pales into comparison. But how much worse can this scandal get for Stanford? We must wait for part two this evening. Then the next minister in the firing line? Matt Doocey. Mental Health. And this story is crazy - he should be locked up like crooked Hilary. His crime? Worse than lying… the newsreader told us the accusation was, wait for it... massaging the message. It's a new charge but thought to be very, very, very serious. Some pages detailing workforce shortages were removed from a glossy Ministerial booklet that went out to the public. There was one small problem with this future Pulitzer Prize winner. The problem, as cameras bared down, as his crimes were read aloud, was Doocey had no idea what the reporter was talking about - it was old mate Lester Levy. It was Levy's fingerprints over this one, not Doocey's. But he's already on the way out, so what's the fun in getting him on camera? Shackling him to the pillory for a flogging? So, it was Doocey in the dock. The best part about this expose? It came with its very own deep throat. Yes, an insider whose secret cache of draft documents blew the sorry wide open… That person was Ingrid Leary from the Labour Party. Case closed. It's a knockout. It's a slam dunk. Both ministers must be sacked immediately. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Slow and steady improvements in mental health and addiction service access. Minister Matt Doocey's latest quarterly target updates have been released and show a small increase in the proportion of people being seen by specialist and primary services in under a month. However shorter ED department stays are still far below the 95% target, rising slightly to 65%. Doocey told Kerre Woodham it's a work in progress. He says he believes there is no silver bullet, but improvements happen through the sum of every action, which is why they now have very clear targets.

Minister for Mental Health Matt Doocey didn't make a Budget bid this year for more mental health service beds, despite them being at or over capacity. The Opposition says this is a massive oversight, although health officials say they're concentrating on improving staff levels. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

Today on Politics Friday, John MacDonald was joined by National's Matt Doocey and Labour's Tracey McLellan to wrap this week's political stories. They discussed Phase 1 of the Covid Inquiry and Kiwis' shaken trust in the government, whether Labour will commit to a capital gains tax as they head into their party conference this weekend, and Matt Doocey touched on the recently revealed texts he received from Mike King. The Mental Health Minister says he didn't reply to the texts after King's controversial comments around alcohol because he didn't want to. The I Am Hope founder told Newstalk ZB last month that alcohol is the solution for mental health issues, until a better solution is found. Minister Matt Doocey was among those to publicly reject the claim. King, who receives $24 million in government funding for his mental health charity, sent Doocey a 500 word text attempting to justify his claim. Doocey told John MacDonald he scanned the message, but doesn't reply to every text he gets, and had already stated his position. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Mental Health Minister says he disagrees with Mike King's comments about alcohol but supports his wider work. The Gumboot Friday co-founder told Newstalk ZB alcohol is a solution for mental health problems, as it can help stop negative thoughts. Labour wants the Government to stop providing funding for Gumboot Friday, an initiative that supports young people with their mental health. Minister Matt Doocey told Mike Hosking the Government investment gives an extra 15,000 young people timely access to mental health support. He says at the end of the day, it's about young people getting the support they need. Doocey says King is allowed, as an advocate, to have his own views.

I could not have put it better than ACC Minister Matt Doocey did yesterday. He wants ACC to lift its own game before it starts raising levies.   The Accident Compensation Corporation has just begun a one-month consultation on suggested rises of more than 7% on levies for motorists, and more than 4% for employers and earners. I mean everybody else is raising their rates, aren't they? So here goes ACC. They have motorcyclists, professional sports people and ballerinas, specifically in their sights. Ballerinas?! Dainty, little, tiny, wee things like them, I imagine it's a strenuous job, and if something goes wrong, if you're a ballerina, it would go wrong badly, but I wouldn't have thought there would be that many to make a drain on the Accident Compensation Corporation's finances. But none the less, be warned ballerinas – you are in the ACC's sights.   To be fair, ACC has said it is just a consultation at this stage, and the proposal is part of a legislative requirement every three years, with cabinet making the final decision on whether levies are raised before December. Can you imagine any minister going ‘hmm, probably a bit unfair, let's see ACC improve its game before we lift the levies'. I cannot see any government organisation or minister going, ‘you know what? let's keep things the way they are'. Doocey says ACC has to make its own efforts to lift its poor financial performance, it has to increase its rehab rates, and it has to do a lot more around injury prevention before they can make a case for raising levies. And that is a fair call given ACC has just done a U-turn and reintroduced one-on-one case managers. They took them away as part of a $74 million restructure, despite the fact the agency had been warned that the new restructure was a dud. A complete dud that wouldn't work.   And in fact, we had a caller a couple of weeks ago who said that they had been trying to talk to ACC about their particular rehabilitation, they said they were passed from pillar to post, from one person to the next. They had to explain everything from beginning to end every single time they phoned, and it was just a waste of everybody's time and incredibly frustrating. So one-on-one case managers have been reinstated.   It's just another colossal waste of time and money. The rollout began in 2020 with some zingy person leading the restructure going ‘hey, we're going to increase productivity. Yes, we are. We're going to save costs and you case managers, you're going to see a direct lift in your performance. We're going to improve your workloads'.  By 2022, running costs had doubled, there were no discernible benefits to clients, and there was little improvement to case backlogs with exhausted and overworked case managers dropping at their desks. So the agency's gone back after $74 million down the gurgler to one-on-one case management.   Back to the proposed living increases, they are up for discussion, so let's discuss. Motorcyclists - the levy covers only around 28% of your costs to the ACC scheme. When things go wrong if you're a motorcyclist, things go wrong badly, so you're going to need a lot of rehab. So Matt Doocey asked do we lower the levy for lower powered bikes while increasing the cost for more powerful bikes? And I would really love to know what ballerinas are doing to stuff themselves up so much.   Professional sportspeople - I thought you would have been well and truly covered with the medical system that surrounds you as part of your job and the fact that you would go private.  I mean when have you ever heard of any All Black going on the waiting list for a knee operation? They don't. They're in surgery the next day, so I would have that would have been part of your contract that your medical costs are covered. Interesting though, at the Kerre Woodham Morning Show, two out of two of us have been on ACC in the past year. Helen with her never ending shoulder fracture and then me with the smashed arm. But again, the ACC ended after I think it was about 6 physio visits. I've been paying for them ever since. I paid for my own acupuncture, I didn't need any taxis. But we have used it.   It is a good system when it works. You know you take responsibility for your own recovery as well. You don't just lie there, lumpingly, and expect the taxpayer and the government to fix you. You do your own rehab and try and get yourself better. Everybody says, oh, it's the envy of the world, your ACC, it's just wonderful. Is it still? There's a $1 billion shortfall and you know a lot of that is the damaged babies that actually survive the brutal beatings, but they are left needing lifelong care, so a fund has been set aside for their lifelong needs, which sickens me.   You cannot get blood out of a stone. I don't know how much more they expect us to pay for everything, for all of the everything. For the rates, for the insurance, for the ACC, for the food, for the doctor's visits, for the everything. You know, there comes a point where you just cannot pay any more. But is ACC serving you well? I can put up my hand and I can do that now and say it has, it has worked well, provided you do your bit too. It's got to be a 50/50 partnership, I think. But can they really justify asking for more in levies when they have just wasted $74 million on a failed restructure? I'm with Matt Doocey: lift your own game before you take money out of our pockets. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

‘I have uncovered a scandal' teases Newstalk ZB Mike Hosking, as he reveals a tale of sabotage allegedly involving his RNZ rivals. But RNZ says there has been a genuine misunderstanding. --  Minister of Tourism Matt Doocey tapped the numbers into his phone to speak to Newstalk ZB host Mike Hosking.  A voice on the other end of the line answered.  Doocey introduced himself, explaining he was calling for the pre-arranged interview with Hosking – the pair were scheduled to speak on Thursday morning about the proposed new levy on overseas visitors and tourism's contribution to GDP.  According to Hosking, the person on the other end of the line allegedly responded along the lines of that there was no longer an interview.  The minister's office confirmed this morning he was told by the person on the other end of the line that the interview was not happening.  Tourism Minister Matt Doocey. Photo / Mark Mitchell  According to Hosking – who was relaying the tale of events to his listeners this morning – Doocey thought that was unusual, hung up and carried on with his day. Meanwhile, Hosking's producer at Newstalk ZB was wondering where the minister had got to and why he hadn't called in, as had been arranged. It turns out, Doocey had been given the wrong number by his office – a staff member had mistakenly written down a studio number for RNZ instead of Newstalk ZB. You can see where this might be heading. “I have uncovered a scandal that involves the state broadcaster, Radio New Zealand ...! Something nefarious, underhand and possibly dastardly has been uncovered,” Hosking teased his listeners this morning. But RNZ has said it appears there has been “a genuine misunderstanding”. Hosking explained that after Doocey's no-show over the phone, his producer chased the minister down. “Here's a bit of insight into how the radio industry works. Matt Doocey was due to ring in, Matt Doocey is nowhere to be seen at about five minutes past seven,” said Hosking. “What's happened to Matt Doocey? We start chasing him down. “It turns out the person in his office had written down the wrong number for him. “So obviously, [that's] immediate incompetence that needs to be dealt with forthwith. Do the basics brilliantly, I thought was the National Party. It's not.” Mike Hosking also interviewed Lisa Carringtion this week. Photo / Jason Oxenham  Hosking's team eventually tracked down the minister and conducted the interview.  Off air, they were digging deeper – who did that phone number belong to? Yes, as it turned out, RNZ.  “So Matt Doocey, minister of the crown rang up the state broadcaster as funded by you and I through our tax money and said ‘Matt Doocey reporting for the Mike Hosking Breakfast',” said Hosking.  “To which point they said, ‘You no longer have an interview with the Mike Hosking Breakfast.”  But RNZ denies that specific response was used.  An RNZ spokeswoman said: “Having spoken to the staff member who received the call, this appears to have been a genuine misunderstanding.  “On receiving the call, they explained that we had interviewed the Minister the day before and there was no interview scheduled that morning. The staff member did not mention Newstalk or Mike Hosking.”  Hosking had several questions on his show earlier.  “One, do I secretly admire them for being so quickwitted that the first thing they do is instead of going, ‘Oh, you've probably got the wrong number', or ‘Whoops, you've rung Radio New Zealand, sorry', they say, ‘You no longer have an interview with Mike Hosking Breakfast'?  “That's quite sharp to be honest, [it's] probably worth looking into employing that person, whoever they were, because there are some people here who aren't remotely that sharp.  “Second, is it underhand?  “Third, is that just competition and that's life? And would we have done the same thing if we were alert enough to do the same thing?  “Fourth, is it just pure, straight up and down sabotage?”  Editor-at-Large Shayne Currie is one of New Zealand's most experienced senior journalists and media leaders.

Winston Peters says Julie Anne Genter should face consequences for confronting a minister in the House.  The Green MP has apologised in Parliament and could face further disciplinary action after a complaint was made of intimidatory behaviour toward Minister Matthew Doocey on Wednesday night.  Genter walked across the debating chamber to Doocey, waved a booklet and spoke angrily to him while getting close to his face.  The incident happened at about 8pm, while Labour's Nelson MP Rachel Boyack was speaking and followed some interjections between Doocey and Genter. It was visible in the background of the footage on Parliament TV.  “Miss Genter. Miss Genter, please resume your seat,” demanded the chair at the time, Barbara Kuriger.  “It's not appropriate to get out of one's seat to go and have an argument with somebody on the other side.”  Speaker Gerry Brownlee had to be recalled to the debating chamber to deal with the issue after National's whip Scott Simpson asked Kuriger to do so.  Simpson said in Parliament that he had never seen anything like it, describing it as a “serious, intimidatory physical attack upon another member”.  The Deputy Prime Minister told Mike Hosking that Genter appeared to, quote, "lose the plot".  He says there are processes to discipline someone like that, and just apologising to Doocey for making him feel unsafe doesn't cut it.  Also last night, Peters gave a speech regarding AUKUS Pillar 2, and has said the details are still fairly new to him.  The Foreign Minister has outlined New Zealand's position to the Institute of International Affairs at Parliament.  He says we should be open to exploring the technology leg of the nuclear-powered submarine pact and what that could look like for us.  Peters told Hosking that he's still trying to find out exactly what Pillar 2 would entail.   He says in the middle of public discussions, all sorts of people are rushing to judgement without having been remotely briefed on the matter.  LISTEN ABOVE    See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Doocey declined a request to talk to us Friday morning. Labour's Public Service spokesperson Ayesha Verrall spoke to Corin Dann.

It's my birthday! Let me tell you how I spent a good bit of my day, before diving into today's show. The NTSB report seems to indicate the rail industry's push for less regulatory oversight under Trump (aka "the waterboy") has - surprise- come back to haunt Ohioans. Even FOX NEWS' Steve Doocey acknowledged this ON THE AIR. Hear it for yourself; but this also goes to show that preventative measures can't always bear statistical data unless they're taken away. Except in Texas, where shunned gun legislation would've prevented multiple mass shootings and casualties. Hear me out ... The "city of Buckhead city" is getting undeserved time spent on in the General Assembly - thanks to Republicans who live far FROM the city of Atlanta AND Buckhead/Atlanta. What gives? Also, I'm curious if one key facet - their portion of Atlanta's debt - would be immediately repaid to the city upon exit or nah? Also, why is it suddenly a right-wing staple to want to "take their ball and go elsewhere?" Grow up. Oh, and I (and all of us) need the Fulton grand jury forewoman to pipe down. She's potentially derailing Fulton DA Fani Willis' work. Barbara McQuade spells out (quite well) how she's doing this.

The Auditor-General is to launch an inquiry into how mental health and addiction services are working for young people.It comes after National's mental health spokesman Matt Doocey wrote to the Auditor-General, Parliament's independent spending watchdog, to look at the $1.9 billion for mental health allocated in the 2019 Budget.The Auditor-General normally looks at whether laws might have been broken around the spending of public money, not the merits of individual spending decisions.In a letter published today, John Ryan said he believed there was already sufficient oversight of that Government investment, through reviews by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's Implementation Unit, and the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission, which recently reported that investment had not seen improvements "materialise" as hoped.Rather than duplicate the processes, Ryan said his office would focus on the effectiveness of mental health and addiction services for young people "a group with an increasing need for mental health support".National's mental health spokesman Matt Doocey. Photo / SuppliedHe would also closely monitor mental health and addiction services through the current health reforms.Doocey said he was satisfied with the response, especially with the Mental Health and Wellbeing Commission recently reporting alongside an increase in young people accessing mental health services they faced longer wait times.In 2020/21 just 65 per cent of people aged under 19 were seen in the first three weeks of their referral - below the 80 per cent target, and 87 per cent within eight weeks - below 95 per cent target.He was also pleased to see a focus on the health reforms, with the Commission and Mental Health Foundation recently raising concerns.After Doocey first wrote the letter, Health Minister Andrew Little said the spending had already been reviewed six times across a range of reviews.He described the call for yet another review as a "meaningless stunt from a party that left our mental health services in an appalling state, handing us with the task of a major rebuild".Little made similar comments today, calling it "simply another cheap stunt by Matt Doocey and the National Party"."All this shows is they're not serious about building a better mental health system."Doocey said it was justified given the Auditor-General previously asking questions about the investment in a report.Doocey said he had also been blocked three times by Labour when he tried to get the Health Select Committee to look into various mental health issues, including the concerns raised about spending.The Government's 2019 budget boost was in response to the Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction (He Ara Oranga), which estimated the annual cost of serious mental illness, including addiction, at $12 billion.Health Minister Andrew Little. Photo / Mark MitchellLittle himself has voiced frustration about the slow pace with which parts of the $1.9b mental health package announced in 2019 was being rolled out – in particular the $235m set aside for building new mental health and addiction facilities, and lack of new spaces being added. After that, steps were put in place to try to fast-track some of those measures.Doocey said new information he'd received showed poor recruitment efforts in the sector."In the last four years, the Government has only added the equivalent of fewer than two fulltime psychiatrists and 13 fulltime psychologists to the workforce."He said despite 234 new mental health nurses, 452 left last year."This is devastating for those trapped on ballooning waitlists and their families."The Government needs a plan for growing the workforce and addressing our urgent mental health challenges."- by Michael Neilson, NZ Herald

A news anchor finally faces the music, the mayor of New York decides there is no such thing as free will and President Biden faces off with Russian President Putin...who do you think won? These are our favorite "Did they really just say that" moments for you this week.

Afghanistan, Afghanistan and then more Afghanistan is what is on tap today maybe with a little aside for Covid mandates...Oh and by the way did I mention that Ben is back?

The U.S. has struck back at the terrorists in Afghanistan with a drone strike killing two and injuring one. Is it enough to intimidate ISIS after the Kabul airport bombing? Is it enough to rehabilitate President Biden's credibility?

The First Amendment is under assault. First it was the banning of any hint of irregularities during the 2020 election, now its Covid vaccine disinformation. Ben Franklin said those who give up liberty for safety deserve neither. Which do you choose?

National MP Matt Doocey is pushing for the Health Select Committee to open an Inquiry into the 15 new Inpatient Mental Health Facilities and upgrade projects under development. He's is urging his fellow select committee members to vote in favour of his motion at today's meeting. The call follows reports of overflowing facilities, in terrible condition. Even the Health Minister Andrew Little expressed frustration at the time taken to get shovels in the ground. The latest update from the Minister is that out of the $438 million set aside for facilities in Budget 2018 and 2019, only $24.9 million dollars has been spent. Doocey told political reporter Charlie Dreaver that the current state of mental health inpatient facilities is unacceptable.

Doocey told political reporter Charlie Dreaver that the current state of mental health inpatient facilities is unacceptable.

Health Minister Andrew Little says he is "extraordinarily" frustrated at the slow pace of the Government's $1.9 billion mental health package announced in 2019.It comes after revelations from the Herald of acute mental health units running at capacity, and Newshub reporting just five extra acute mental health beds have been added as a result of the Government's record mental health investment.In Budget 2019 the Government announced $1.9b for mental health, with $235 million set aside for building mental health and addiction facilities.National's mental health spokesperson Matt Doocey revealed just $500,000 of $235m set aside for new mental health facilities in Budget 2019 had been spent, or 0.2 per cent.Little said he was "extraordinarily" frustrated that despite making commitments and setting aside funding they seemed to be a "long way behind actually getting a shovel in the ground"."I am still trying to understand why. I am not expecting facilities to be completed or fully staffed but we seem to be a long way behind actually getting a shovel in the ground."We made the decisions, commitments, the money is there but the design and execution is out of our hands."The Herald revealed on Monday nearly a third of beds in acute mental health units were occupied by long-term patients who should be treated in the community, reducing the spaces for people who need urgent care.Acute mental health units regularly operated at full capacity, when 85 per cent was considered the maximum safe level.Newshub also reported on Monday the lack of spending had seen just five extra acute mental health beds been added, with patients forced to sleep on mattresses on the floor because there were no mental health beds left.Little said this situation was "not acceptable".Little, who was not Health Minister when the Budget was announced, said he had regular "catch-ups" on progress, but he would now look to instigate an independent stocktake to seek further assurances.Doocey said the Ministry of Health had been misleading about its lack of progress on mental health spending.The low spending rate had been revealed in a written parliamentary question to Doocey, but not mentioned in a response to Newshub in a report on Monday."Yesterday they said they did not know how much was spent, when they did and the reason is because it was only $500,000 out of $235m."We have people sleeping on floors, we have people sleeping in kitchens, in staff rooms, people leaving mental health facilities and killing themselves."The Government promised it would make a difference to mental health and transform the mental health system and they have completely let the country down." 

The big global story this week was of course the G7 summit which turned into a Biden vs. Putin show down, along with raising a lot of questions regarding the President's abilities to stand up to the rigors of his job. The President put his foot in it after his visit with the queen, appeared confused at times and broke time honored tradition of not going after his opponents at home while on foreign soil. We also have a few other "did they really just say that" moments for you that have nothing to do with the President...

How would you describe President Biden's first press conference? Scary? Alarming? Great? Passable? Does the fact he used a briefing book and seemed to lose focus a number of times cause you any concern?

Was President Biden's first press conference a rousing success or did it set off alarm bells that something is not quite right? The President sees himself as a two term office holder. Do you see the same thing?
