The Government is being urged to make healthy national food supply a priority. Growers can currently only farm vegetables with consent from regional authorities and want changes as part of resource management reform. Horticulture NZ says without urgent change to this, the country risks losing a significant portion of its homegrown food supply by 2030. Vegetables NZ Chair John Murphy told Mike Hosking that growers in key areas such as Horowhenua face the real prospect of overzealous local authority officials pulling up the driveway and telling them not to grow there anymore. He says the burden of regulation is massive here. “You heard the Prime Minister talk about barnacles on the boat slowing us down earlier in the week ... this isn't a barnacle on the boat slowing us down, this is a hole in the boat.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode, we're diving into a topic that often comes up in recovery: the over-reliance on fruits and vegetables during eating disorders. As an eating disorder recovery coach, I've seen many individuals (and at moments myself!) cling to these foods as a way to feel safe or in control. I'll share my own experiences, discuss the emotional and psychological factors at play, and explore how this behaviour can impact your relationship with food. Whether you're on your recovery journey or just curious about this common pattern, I hope this episode helps you understand and embrace a more balanced approach to your relationship with food.

It's popular with the voters, but not with the experts. The Detail takes a closer look at the debate about Labour's GST plans.
Labour have announced that they will remove GST from fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables if re-elected. But the policy has been slammed by many tax experts as well as the National Party. But some say it is a way to encourage people to eat healthy food. Luxon stated that ongoing education is a better way to promote healthy eating habits. National Party Leader Christopher Luxon spoke to Corin Dann.
Whānau Manaaki Kindergartens, which provides services to many Pacific families, is backing the removal of GST on fruits and vegetables. The Finance Minister Grant Robertson says Labour's election promise to remove GST from fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables is just part of a bigger cost of living package. Community services leader Caroline Mareko spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.
A sign of desperation; stupid populism; a depressingly bad idea. Ask nearly any tax expert - and it's likely that's how they'll describe Labour's new GST-free fruit and vegetables policy. RNZ has asked both the Prime Minister and Finance Minister to name a single economist or tax specialist who supports the idea - and they have been unable to do so. It's not surprising given RNZ's own inquiries - with more than 10 expert voices - have found near universal opposition. Deputy political editor Craig McCulloch reports.
The Finance Minister is defending the Government's scheme to take GST off fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables. It's faced criticism from economists and opposition politicians, including a mistake on when the policy would come in- throwing the cost out by $235 million. There's also questions about exactly what will be left and left out under the system. Grant Robertson says that shouldn't be a barrier. "These kinds of decisions about what's in and out in a regime get made all over the world." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Tonight on The Huddle, Phil O'Reilly from Iron Duke Partners and current affairs commentator Josie Pagani joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day- and more!

The Labour Party has fired the opening salvo in its bid for re-election - a promise to remove GST from fresh and frozen fruit and vegetables. The plan was leaked by the National Party, but after weeks of speculation Labour's launched the policy it hopes will swing votes its way. Our political editor Jane Patterson was at the launch in leader Chris Hipkins' stomping ground.
Labour's latest election promise is being labelled as an example of politics winning out over policy. The party's promising to axe GST from fresh and frozen fruit and veggies from April, saving the average household roughly $20 a month. Dentons Kensington Swan tax expert, Bruce Bernacchi, told Mike Hosking that it will be of marginal benefit. He says most of the benefit will go towards higher income families who spend more on fresh produce. Labour's also promising to boost In-Work Tax Credits by $25 a week, and lift the Working for Families abatement threshold. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
The Finance Minister's now backing Labour's plan to slash GST from fresh and frozen fruit and veggies. Grant Robertson's previously cited concerns the cost savings wouldn't be passed onto consumers, calling it a boondoggle — meaning a wasteful spend. The party's now promising to slash GST from fruit and veg from April, saving the average household around $20 a month. Finance Minister Grant Robertson says that the policy would be regulated and would help ease inflation woes. He says it would reduce the cost of food, and is still a good policy despite it not being a huge discount. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Finance Minister Grant Robertson remains under pressure, as he bats off questions about Labour's tax policy. Robertson is still refusing to confirm whether Labour will remove the GST from fruit and vegetables, amid allegations from National. BusinessDesk managing editor Pattrick Smellie says Labour's been caught flat-footed, as Robertson would have said so directly if the party weren't considering this policy.

It's hard to believe it's possible, but Labour's week just got even worse- because their tax policy just got leaked. National's Nicola Willis says she's got a source who told her Labour is planning to announce it'll take the GST off fresh fruit and veges, which immediately got headlines because her sources have proved pretty solid. Remember, she got the tip-off that Labour was working on a wealth tax-tax switch, and it turned out they were. The Prime Minister was asked about the GST plan today and didn't deny it. So I'd say there's a pretty good chance it's on. This is actually a rubbish policy. I mean, if you're having a hard time paying the bills, this is a massive step down from the tax switch Labour was working on, because that would've given you $1050 extra a year. You're not gonna get that much back from the GST scrap unless you're spending $7000 a year on fresh fruit and veges, which most of us would not. This is hardy going to convince punters that Labour really is dealing with the bread and butter issues of the cost of living crisis. And it's old. This is a reheated policy from 2011. We debated it then, we shot it down then. 12 years between then and now hasn't made it a better idea. Labour will be gutted that National leaked the news, because they've lost the chance to announce it on their terms and try to sell this idea to us as something better than it is. That opportunity's gone. And I don't think they had all their ducks in a row to be ready to announce this. We were told they would have announced their tax policy by now- so the fact they haven't suggests there was more work to do. Or they were hoping to announce at a time when they weren't bogged down with a man who shot and killed his workers in Auckland Central and a minster who got behind the wheel after drinking, crashed the car and then left the scene. Remember, just a couple of months ago, we were talking about Labour's tax policy as being one of the last things they had up their sleeve to try to win the election. But now we probably know what it is, and it's a bit of a damp squib. So, they'll be gutted. Just like a whole bunch of Labour voters will be gutted that that's the best the bread and butter party can do. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that around 1/3 of fruit and vegetables in the EU are contaminated with toxic pesticide residue?This staggering figure comes from the report “Forbidden Fruit”recently released by Pan Europe, in which they reveal that the amount of fruit contaminated with the most hazardous category of pesticides, linked to a range of chronic diseases including cancers, cardiovascular problems or diabetes, is following a startling increase.The report examines data shared by national authorities between 2011 and 2019 and sheds light on how Member States have failed to implement EU regulation aimed at phasing-out such highly dangerous pesticides.In this episode, we talk to Salomé Roynel, Campaigner at Pan Europe, about the outcomes of the report including the trends they have uncovered, what they mean for consumers, but also for the environment. We also discuss the lack of action taken by Member States to reverse the pesticide curve as well as the role of the pesticide industry and lobby in discrediting “viable alternatives” and using food insecurity as an argument to push for more pesticides.Pan Europe “Forbidden Fruit” report: https://www.pan-europe.info/sites/pan-europe.info/files/public/resources/reports/ForbiddenFruit_01.pdf
