Podcast appearances and mentions of emma hatton

Southbound trains on the Hutt Valley line in Wellington were held up on Wednesday morning after a seal was on the rail tracks between Petone and Wellington. Nine to noon producer Emma Hatton spoke to Corin Dann.

In this week's episode of Raw Politics, we discuss if ministers crowing about the drop in interest rates deserve all, much or any of the political praise.Newsroom senior political reporter Marc Daalder, political reporter Emma Hatton and co-editor Tim Murphy weigh the coalition's claims to having started to beat the ravages of a high cost of living.We also assess this week's two big restructures of government agencies – one responsible for Crown-Māori relations and the other for services for the disabled community.Our reader question asks why the Government is dipping back into old fashioned welfare policies again, one of the core staples for the National Party over generations.--------------------This week's recommendations:Emma -  The Spinoff's Joel MacManus on the shady conspiracy-aligned group setting itself up to influence the 2025 Wellington local council election. Tim - A revelation by Andrea Vance on The Post that David Seymour's new regulation ministry is looking to hire a senior communications person at up to $170,000 a year.Marc - Jono Milne's scoop on the new Health NZ commissioner's waning confidence in his chief executive.--------------------Raw Politics will be available every Friday, and you can watch it on YouTube too.Read more on newsroom.co.nz.

National promised a “back pocket boost” when it unveiled a tax package before the election, and now in Government in tough economic times its Budget next week will sort the easy promises from reality.The tax bracket changes and other in-work and family payment adjustments might need to land with a thump rather than a flutter for hard-pressed Kiwi households – but that isn't easy to achieve.-------Recommendations:Tim - A great exchange in the House on housing between Kieran McAnulty and Chris Bishop. Watch here.Emma - David Seymour's inner circle, by Audrey Young in the Herald.Marc - The Return of Evan Price, by Emma Hatton on Newsroom. -------The Raw Politics panel this week, Newsroom senior political writer Marc Daalder, politics and business writer Emma Hatton and co-editor Tim Murphy, look ahead to a Budget that will put the confident Finance Minister Nicola Willis and her new Labour counterpart Barbara Edmond to the test.The panel weighs the gains and losses from the mass layoffs in the public service as the coalition parties make good on their promise to cut what they called a bloated sector. Do back-office cuts really allow those in the front line to keep doing their jobs effectively? The example of the corporate world would suggest not.Our reader question asks why the National-led Government axed the first home grant suddenly (spooked by a Newshub scoop that it was going). And the panel discusses former PM Bill English's radical proposals to change our public housing landscape. The bottom line is we won't have as many state houses, or as much Crown-owned housing land after this process is underway.

This week on the Raw Politics podcast: Tax, fiscal holes, and disinformation. Plus: With just 43 days until the election, how is the campaign shaping up?Raw Politics ponders how National's $14.6 billion tax plan landed both politically and in real terms for those who will benefit from the proposed tax relief. Then we cast forward to the campaign launches this weekend in Auckland where Labour and National will lay out their visions for the country if in government after October 14.Newsroom Pro editor Jonathan Milne was one of two journalists to get his hands on the Castalia report that National commissioned to get its t's crossed, i's dotted, and maths analysed ahead of its announcement on Wednesday.Milne notes National was transparent in saying where its numbers differed from Castalia's and says it's worth remembering the analysis was commissioned by the leader's office and on Christopher Luxon's terms.Political editor Jo Moir and senior political reporter Marc Daalder then explain the manic vibe in Parliament in the final week with press conferences and counter press conferences, potshots followed by allegations of disinformation, and some MPs no doubt contemplating whether they'll ever be back in the building.Then there's the rush of legislation being rammed through the House in the final days before everyone packs up their lockers, throws on their backpacks, and heads out into the campaign field.Some of us are exhausted and the campaign hasn't even begun, while others seem exhilarated. Moir and Newsroom co-editor Tim Murphy will be at the major parties' campaign launches on Saturday and Sunday to provide our readers with the latest political news and analysis.This week's recommendations include Act Party's number 16 on the list being so confident he'll be in Parliament he told Newsroom's Emma Hatton he's put his business up for sale (with a caveat), an international look at tax cuts, and a colourful Herald piece from press gallery legend, Audrey Young.Every Friday, Newsroom editors and political journalists talk through the big issues and scrutinise politicians' performances in a lively 25-minute show aiming to take viewers and listeners inside the actions and motivations of our elected leaders.

Raw Politics examines how our political leaders responded to the highly public tragedy in central Auckland and how long they will be able to refrain from arguing about blame and recriminations.The Prime Minister, Leader of the Opposition and party leaders in the House concentrated, correctly, on condolences to those who had lost family in the double killing and shooting of seven others. They explicitly put political arguments over law and order aside for another day.Act's David Seymour couldn't resist setting out what those arguments might be about, but didn't make them, just yet. Deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni thanked other parties for their "graciousness" in their speeches to the Government's statement in the House on the shooting.This week was already sharply focused on law and order, with the Government outlining three waves of criminal justice measures, mainly aimed at young offenders. The Raw Politics panel this week includes Newsroom political reporter Emma Hatton who reports regularly on justice policy.Later in the podcast we examine who might succeed either Chris Hipkins or Christopher Luxon should they lose the election on October 14, and whether Luxon will ever convince a cohort of National-aligned voters that he is the man for the job.This week's recommendations from the panel include media coverage of the Christchurch murder case involving a mother killing her three children, an in-depth feature on the life and times of Chris Hipkins, and a story revealing smart water meters have over-charged thousands.Every Friday, Newsroom editors and political journalists talk through the big issues and scrutinise politicians' performances in a lively 25-minute show aiming to take viewers and listeners inside the actions and motivations of our elected leaders.

Kate Molleson talks to composer Anna Clyne, clarinettist Martin Frost and violinist Pekka Kuusisto together about the concertos Anna has written for the acclaimed soloists. The UK premiere of her clarinet concerto for Martin - Weathered - took place at the Royal Festival Hall this week, with Pekka conducting. Her violin concerto for Pekka - Time and Tides - will have its UK premiere in March 2024, with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra. Also, Marques L.A. Garrett tell us about The Oxford Book of Choral Music by Black Composers, which he has edited.

Kate visits a new musical opening in London this month about Silvio Berlusconi, the Italian former Prime Minister and tycoon. At rehearsals, Kate met composer Ricky Simmonds, director James Grieve, and actor Emma Hatton who plays Veronica, Silvio Berlusconi's second wife.

We hear from Sophie Jones, Chief Strategy Officer and Interim Chief Executive of the British Phonographic Industry; Naomi Pohl, General Secretary of the Musicians' Union; and Chris O'Reilly, CEO of Presto Music.

Embattled MP Gaurav Sharma has resigned.  Sharma's resignation prompts a by-election in his Hamilton West electorate seat which he intends to stand in as an independent. The MP also plans to launch a new centrist political party to take part in the 2023 general election.  Today FM's Lloyd Burr Live approached Gaurav Sharma to appear on the show but hasn't heard back from him yet.  Lloyd Burr spoke to Today FM and Newsroom political reporter Emma Hatton to explain the situation.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been a heck of a last 72 hours for the Labour party - accusations of bullying and lying, MPs getting stood down, denials... and it all points back to one Dr Gaurav Sharma.

It's Budget Boxing Day after Finance Minister Grant Robertson unveiled New Zealand’s biggest 2022 Budget on Thursday, with new net spending of $5.9 billion for the year. Today FM's Emma Hatton reported on Thursday that it's the largest-ever budget, which includes just over $11-billion dollars over four years for the new health reforms. One billion will also go toward cost-of-living initiatives including temporary weekly payments for some eligible New Zealanders and the continuation of fuel excise and road user cuts, as well as half-price public transport. $300 million will go into a new Equity Index to replace the school decile funding system, and a similar amount will go into rail investments. Coronial services, a new small business fund, and changes to first home buyer grants are also included. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It’s just one week until the Finance Minister delivers Budget 2022 - Grant Robertson is delivered a taster to an audience at the Wellington Chamber of Commerce Newsroom journalist Emma Hatton joined us from that business breakfast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Auckland homeowners who sold their properties to make way for a walking and cycling bridge over the Waitematā harbour have been left in limbo, now the project's been scrapped. The government set aside almost $800 million for the new crossing, and while the idea was dropped almost as soon as it had been announced - behind the scenes the wheels had already started turning. The Transport Agency paid out $12 million for four houses at Northcote and while some have moved out and on, others are fighting to stay put. Emma Hatton reports  

Cash-strapped households won't be surprised when inflation figures released later this morning show the biggest annual rise in more than 30 years. Economists are predicting about a 7 percent lift for the annual rate - the highest since June 1990. Food, fuel and accommodation are expected to be the main drivers, but the numbers will also give us a glimpse into how entrenched the price hikes are and how long they might last. Emma Hatton reports.

Hundreds of drunk drivers who are eligible, are not getting an alcohol interlock sentence - and even if they did, they'd probably get away with never having the device fitted to their vehicle. Once the interlock device is fitted, the driver must breathe into it and if alcohol is detected, the vehicle won't start. Emma Hatton reports.

Some builders are threatening to bypass council inspections because they simply cannot afford to wait weeks amid "absurd" delays in getting staff on site. Inspections in Christchurch are taking about seven weeks, adding another layer of complexity to the build process, and costing builders and their clients in the process. The Registered Master Builders Association says it's time for central government to step up. Emma Hatton reports

Electric vehicle owners are being warned not to get caught short on Transmission Gully, because the steep road is catching motorists - and their battery life - by surprise. Some EV drivers are shocked by how much the recently-opened 27-kilometre highway drains their batteries and there are no charging stations en route. Emma Hatton reports.

Small-time developers or builders trying to make a buck will most likely be the ones left in the lurch as house prices look to be cooling. Data from Corelogic shows while year-on-year growth remains hot at more than 23 percent, prices are slowing and in some cities contracting month-on-month. So with a shift to a buyers market, who might be left in the cold? Emma Hatton reports.

A judge accused of misconduct will only be investigated if a special panel set up to review the allegations decides to proceed. The judge - who has name suppression - has argued they shouldn't be subject to the review because they no longer hold office. None of the details surrounding the allegations can be published - except for the fact it was to do with the judge's conduct in a personal capacity, not professional. Emma Hatton reports.

A second-hand bus boom has developed after two years of closed borders and domestic restrictions wrecking havoc on the tour coach sector. The start of the year saw a 71 percent increase in the number of buses listed for sale on Trade Me compared with the year before. There's concern that tourists will soon be back - but with fewer options for getting around the country. Emma Hatton reports.

The parents of a teenager who died suddenly from meningitis have delivered a petition to MPs, pleading for the government to fund vaccines against the disease. Currently, just one vaccine is available for free - and only for 13-25-year-olds entering a boarding-school hostel, halls-of-residence, military barracks or prison. The parents of 16-year-old Courtenay Rushton say they won't rest until all children have free access to it. Pharmac says vaccines for meningitis are funded for close contacts of meningococcal cases, or people who are immunocompromised. Emma Hatton reports.

Long-serving Labour MP Louisa Wall is retiring from politics. Her achievements in Parliament have been praised across the political spectrum - most notably fighting to legalise same-sex marriage. That legislation came into effect in 2013. However, her 14 year parliamentary career has not been without controversy - most recently her battle against her own party - over the Labour candidacy selection for the Manurewa seat. Emma Hatton reports.

The rising cost of building materials may leave home owners in the lurch as the risk of under-insurance throughout New Zealand grows. Most residential home insurers use a fixed sum policy, meaning anything over and above that amount won't be paid out if a home needs repairs - or a total rebuild. With construction costs continuing to rise, the amount homes are covered for may not be enough. Emma Hatton reports.

Waka Kotahi NZ Transport Agency says private motorists have been carrying the commercial sector for too long and it plans to even the playing field by upping operators' fees at the end of next year. The Agency says its regulatory arm is underfunded and currently propped up by government loans - because trucking, bus and taxi firms aren't paying their way. It plans to raise an extra $79 million each year under the changes, and while commercial operators agree the fees need to change, they say the timing stings. Emma Hatton reports.

Wellingtonians, if the thought of battling the traffic has had you turning down Easter-weekend getaways in the past you might want to reconsider. The 27-kilometre highway known as Transmission Gully, is promising to open by the end of the month, in time for the long weekend. Waka Kotahi says there's not much more to do than simply cut the ribbon, but this is its sixth attempt to fix a date. Emma Hatton reports.

It might be happening on the other side of the world but the economic shockwaves of the Russian invasion of Ukraine will reach New Zealand. Tightened oil and gas stocks out of Russia is leading to increased prices worldwide hiking the cost of air and sea freight. Grain, wheat and fertiliser prices are also rising which could lift meat and dairy prices, and keep an eye on your KiwiSaver. Emma Hatton with this report.

Record covid case numbers aren't showing Omicron's true spread, with an expert warning the real number could be as much as 10 times the official figures. A record 810 cases were recorded yesterday and experts agree a move to phase 2 of the government's approach to manage the virus, is imminent. Emma Hatton reports.

An investigation into one of the country's largest freight companies has found drivers felt forced into falsifying their logbooks and ditched mandatory rest-times in order to make their runs on time. The report into Mainfreight was the result of a joint inquiry by transport agency Waka Kotahi, Police and WorkSafe. Emma Hatton reports.

Some of the country's top selling toys this Christmas are a booty shaking toy pug dog, burping hippo, and a rainbow fairy unboxing extravaganza. It comes from Trade Me's list of most searched for and most popular purchases so far for 2021. Now of course, in the interests of fact-checking, we sent reporter Emma Hatton, along with some tough critics, out to a Wellington toy store to see if that's really what kids want.

Businesses will throw open their doors to customers under the new traffic light framework next Friday, but as the nuts and bolts are being worked through there seem to be more questions than answers. The government has confirmed today the verifier app businesses can use will be optional - which means the printed, paper versions could be widely used, without necessarily having it checked against ID. Emma Hatton reports.

$10 million has been set aside to develop a vaccine for strep-throat - a precursor to rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. Last year more than a hundred people were hospitalised for the first time with rheumatic fever, mostly Māori and Pasifika children. New Zealand is one of the few developed countries to still have the preventable illness so prevalent in the community. Emma Hatton reports.

The government's timeline to rollout a traffic light system is being attacked from all corners of Parliament. Te Pāti Māori and the Green Party want the brakes put on, while Act and National are calling for a hurry up. All of New Zealand is expected to move into the new system soon after 29 November. Emma Hatton reports.

It's the office Zoom meeting on steroids. Leaders of the some of the world's most powerful countries will meet virtually tonight for the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperation summit, hosted by New Zealand. Expect predictable discussion on the pandemic, vaccines and economic recovery, but keep an eye out for tensions between the US and China, and the recent AUKUS deal. Oh and some new shirts.

People enduring unbearable suffering from a terminal illness are now able to ask for medical help to end their lives. The End of Life Choice Act was put to a binding referendum at last year's election with just over 65 percent of voters supporting it. It came into effect yesterday - exactly one year later. Emma Hatton compiled this report. [audio_play] RNZ sought to clarify what data would be collected but the Health Ministry did not respond on time.

Questions are being asked about when the government will firm up orders of paediatric vaccines. An application from Pfizer to ship the vaccine to New Zealand is due any day now. The National Party says its outrageous that a supply hasn't already been confirmed, but a leading vaccinologist isn't so sure an urgency to vaccinate children is a good idea. Emma Hatton reports.

South Waikato is kicking its Covid-19 response up a gear with the revelation a person who later tested positive for the virus spent the night in Tokoroa.  Two new cases were also reported yesterday in nearby Ōtorohanga. The daily case numbers remain in the single digits and the region is trying to keep it that way. Emma Hatton reports.

Ground was broken today, in a sense, at the site of what will be Wellington City Mission's new community hub. In the first of its kind for the country - the centre will host supportive housing units, medical support and social services, alongside a supermarket and public cafe. The concept is designed to make those who need a bit of extra help, feel connected to the community, and uphold their dignity. Our reporter Emma Hatton and visual journalist Angus Dreaver were there.

A tech firm behind a Covid-19 antibody test being fast tracked for sale in the US, says changes to funding left it scrambling for cash. In April, the government scrapped a quarterly cash research and development grant in favour of a tax-credit scheme. It means many tech firms are not able to access funding for at least a year. The government is promising a fix, but the IT sector says some businesses are already considering leaving New Zealand. Emma Hatton reports.

Fewer cars on the roads, more EVs, mass rapid transport in the big cities and congestion charges... Today Climate Change Minister James Shaw revealed an extensive consultation document aimed at reducing the country's carbon emissions in line with its obligations to get to net zero by 2050. But the clock is ticking for the government, with modelling showing if nothing changes the country will produce 7.7 million tonnes more carbon than it should over the next four years. Emma Hatton reports.
