ANZ's New Zealand boss says the bank has no major restructure plans on this side of the Tasman. The Australian banking group has announced plans to axe about 3,500 in-house roles and 1000 contractors. Its New Zealand arm says about 20-30 mostly head-office roles might be cut here. But Chief Executive Antonia Watson told Kerre Woodham it's part of a normal review of efficiencies, which they do every year. She says times of change always generate nervousness, but they've been clear that what's driving the change in Australia isn't a factor here. She says staff will have a lot of empathy for their Australian colleagues who are going through a tough time at the moment. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's a black market trade for everything — including ants. (Yes, even ants.) And President Donald Trump has slashed the number of federal government employees, which included entomologists focused on pest control. Today, we'll look at what the illicit ant trade looks like and the sort of environmental and financial costs that can result from invasive species. But first, Trump has his first chance at reshaping the Federal Reserve through the nomination of Stephen Miran.

The Public Service Commissioner says he doesn't want to see the public service slashed and burnt. Earlier this week, the New Zealand Initiative called for a culling of our 43 Government departments to just 20. Sir Brian Roche says everything's on the table - but the changes need to be measured. "The Initiative is one world view, I think these things have to evolve. I don't look at this being a big bang, we don't want to go through big slash/burn downsizings, those things are debilitating and I don't see those being required at this point."

The National Union of Mineworkers is calling on Glencore and Samancor to stop looming job cuts and negotiate constructively. This follows Glencore's confirmation that it has triggered a Section 189 retrenchment process under the Labour Relations Act, effective from September 1st. The move impacts Boshoek and Wonderkop Smelters in Rustenburg, Rhovan Vanadium near Bethanie and the Carbon Division in Emalahleni. NUM has slammed the retrenchment plans as premature, disingenuous and deeply concerning for workers. Elvis Presslin spoke to Lefty Mashego, Num's Chief Negotiator

It is with real enthusiasm that I see the Public Service Commissioner potentially doing what the main Government should have done two years ago. What the Government did two years ago was say they were going to rectify the absurd size of the public service. It had blown out to gargantuan proportions under the Labour Government, who knew no bounds in terms of fiscal largesse based on debt. What the new Government actually did with the public service, sadly, was tinker. It peaked at a bit over 65,000 and it sits at over 63,000. In fact in the ensuing period, it's gone up again. So rough math will tell you they got rid of about 2,000 jobs. As a raw number it's a lot of jobs. A percentage it's tiny. As an effective exercise in efficiency and savings, it's a joke. The shame of it was the new Government of the day had licence. Yes, it was controversial. Yes, the unions bleated and moaned. Yes, the media went to town on a Tory slash-and-burn exercise. But the trick was always simple – if you're going to dish out the bad news go hard, DOGE it, blow it up, do it once and do it properly. The fall out, headlines, and anger will be exactly the same whether you trim a couple of thousand for no effect or 6,500 and make a difference. So they blew it. They took the heat but got few, if any, results. In an odd way it's symbolic of the weaker parts of this Government; the ideas, rhetoric, and execution are never quite aligning. But now the Commissioner Brian Roache looks to be having another crack by merging departments. The Ministries of Women, Pacific peoples, disabled peoples, and Māori Development could all be in for an upending. I'd go further. The never-ending series of commissioners and their offices that have no actual power and really only write reports would not be missed. But ministries for ministries sake is what holds this country back. They all fill a space to meet their budget and so-called mandate. If this is on, and I pray it is, wait for the bleating. Every one of them will tell you the critical nature of their existence but I defy anyone of you to list me the profound and productive change they have made to all our lives. Given you can't they then fall into the category as largesse, waste and tokenism. Do it once and do it right. That's how change should happen. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

There's belief the job losses at the Eves Valley Sawmill will have a significant impact on the area. Manufacturing company Carter Holt Harvey is proposing to close the mill, which would result in 142 jobs lost. It's wanting to consolidate its structural timber manufacturing to one site - in Bay of Plenty's Kawerau. Tasman mayor Tim King, lives next door to the mill and says there's no chance to change the company's mind. "The most significant impact - and most immediate - is on those 142 people employed at Eves Valley, but there is a wide range of other businesses that support the Eves Valley sawmill, it's a big component of the forestry sector in this region."

In today's “Kim on a Whim”, the focus shifts to the explosive growth—and growing pains—of artificial intelligence. Kim dives into the insane bidding war for AI talent, spotlighting Matt Ditka's $250 million offer from Meta—putting AI coders in the same pay league as NBA stars like Nikola Jokic. But while AI experts are cashing in, entry-level workers aren't so lucky: new reports say AI is slashing thousands of tech jobs and drastically reducing entry-level opportunities. Applications per job are skyrocketing, and employers now want candidates already fluent in AI tools. Ryan highlights a deeper concern: AI is blurring the line between work and personal life, especially when people start using tools like ChatGPT for companionship. He warns of a dangerous psychological trap where people replace real human interaction with bots. That's already happening, as Kim points out, with people literally falling in love with AI girlfriends—many of whom are indistinguishable from real women online. The conversation takes a sharper turn as they unpack the liberal ideology of “my truth”—arguing that emotions have been weaponized to excuse delusion, blur biological reality, and now, dangerously, influence children's gender identity. Ryan and Kim agree: “Feelings aren't facts—and when they start harming kids, conservatives have to say: no more.” Highlights from the segment: $250M AI salaries vs. NBA contracts 10,000+ tech jobs cut in July alone due to AI Growing AI obsession among youth, including Ryan's 10-year-old coding prodigy son Dystopian signs: humanoid robots directing traffic in Shanghai Emotional delusion vs. biological reality: "You're not a zebra, you're a man."

AI: JOB CUTS AT MICROSOFT, CHRIS RIEGEL.#SCALAREPORT: CHRIS RIEGEL CEO, SCALA.COM @STRATACACHE APRIL 1959.

AI is increasingly becoming a double-edged sword in the workplace, as highlighted by a recent Microsoft report. While artificial intelligence tools are intended to enhance productivity, they are inadvertently contributing to an "infinite workday," leading to heightened employee burnout. The report reveals alarming trends, such as 40% of workers checking emails by 6 a.m. and a 16% increase in meetings scheduled after 8 p.m. This shift indicates that work is encroaching on personal time, suggesting a need for companies to rethink their time management and workflow strategies to prioritize high-impact tasks over busy work.Amazon's CEO, Andy Jassy, has acknowledged that AI efficiency gains will result in job cuts within the company, reflecting a broader trend of AI adoption across various sectors. Gallup's research shows that AI usage among U.S. employees has nearly doubled, with significant increases among white-collar workers. However, despite the growing integration of AI, concerns about job displacement remain relatively unchanged, with only 15% of employees fearing automation will eliminate their jobs in the near future.The podcast also discusses the transformative impact of autonomous software agents on small to mid-sized businesses, as outlined in PAX 8's report. The findings indicate that a majority of mid-sized enterprises are already deploying AI, with a notable emphasis on the need for organizations to adapt to new operational standards. The report suggests that IT service providers must shift their focus from merely selling AI tools to becoming organizational strategists that help clients redesign workflows and manage time effectively.Finally, the episode touches on the evolving landscape of the technology channel, emphasizing the necessity for vendors and partners to adapt to emerging trends. The shift from product-based selling to outcome-based solutions is becoming essential for survival in a competitive market. As traditional marketing development funds decline, the call for performance-based partnerships is more pressing than ever, urging IT service providers to demonstrate their value and influence in driving client success.  Four things to know today  00:00 Microsoft Warns of ‘Infinite Workday' as AI Blurs Work-Life Boundaries06:19 OpenAI's Defense Deal and MCP Push Signal AI's Transition from Tool to Infrastructure08:58 MiniMax Launches One-Million-Token Open Model, Undercutting Cost of GPT-4 by Orders of Magnitude10:40 Techaisle: Channel Faces Structural Shakeup as Outcome-Based, Risk-Sharing Models Replace Old Playbook  This is the Business of Tech.     Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/nerdio-manager-for-msp/ All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Are SUVs like the 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT and Acura RDX really meant to go off road? That's a question we will answer this week as we discuss both vehicles after thoroughly road testing them. Cohost Chris Teague test-drove the refreshed 2025 Acura RDX, a compact luxury SUV with updated styling, a sharper grille, a more functional cabin, and upgraded tech, including a wide-screen 10.2-inch display. The RDX is powered by a 272-horsepower turbocharged 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine paired with a 10-speed automatic transmission. Available Super Handling All-Wheel Drive and a suite of standard safety features complete the package. The specs are impressive, but does the RDX also have a “feature” that might turn you off? While Chris was at the wheel of the Acura, Host Jack Nerad put the (semi-)rugged 2025 Hyundai Tucson XRT AWD to the test. This new variant adds off-road-inspired styling, 19-inch black alloy wheels, and 8.3 inches of ground clearance. Under the hood, a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine is paired with Hyundai's HTRAC all-wheel-drive system. Inside, the Tucson XRT features a comfortable, tech-forward cabin with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. The question is off-roader or soft-roader? In this week's news segment, we cover the debut of the 2026 Toyota RAV4, redesigned for its sixth generation with hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains only. New trims include the sporty GR SPORT and off-road-ready Woodland edition. We also examine Congress's recent vote to block California's plan to phase out gas-only car sales by 2035, breaking down what this means for national emissions policy and the EV market. The industry hails the change, but some environments cry foul. In other news, Tesla's sales in Europe have fallen nearly 50% in April, despite overall EV market growth. Based on that, we explore possible causes, including public perceptions of CEO Elon Musk and the realities of the European auto market, which has welcomed (kinda) the Chinese. Finally, Volvo's announcement of 3,000 job cuts signals broader challenges amid a slowing EV market and global trade uncertainties. Our special guest this week is Anthony Watkins, Toyota product expert, who joins us to discuss the 2026 Toyota BZ, the brand's heavily revised electric crossover. Jack Nerad drove the new version, and we'll have a special report. We'll also answer our listener question of the week: Connor from Davenport, Iowa, asks, “Should I buy or lease my next car? I drive about 8 to 9,000 miles a year — would a lease make sense?” We offer our take. Have a question for the show? Email us anytime at editor@drivingtoday.com.

Government employment has long been a reliable pathway to Black middle-class prosperity. More than 18% of the federal workforce is Black versus about 12% of the civilian workforce overall. That means that the estimated 260,000 federal jobs eliminated this year by President Donald Trump's Department of Government Efficiency will be particularly felt by Black federal workers. But first: The House Committee working on the Republican tax bill could be in for a long day.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio spent part of his Thursday gilding President Donald Trump's lily, saying during an Oval Office Q&A with reporters that ‘no leader is working harder to prevent wars or end them.' Rubio's confident air, however, runs contrary to reports of fear and chaos reigning at the State Department under his leadership. Earlier this week, the agency released plans for a pretty sizable reorganization. They call for the elimination of hundreds of domestic positions and the axing of offices that focus on things like war crimes and global conflict. Nahal Toosi, senior foreign affairs correspondent for Politico, explains what the State Department reorganization will mean for American foreign diplomacy, and what it says about the Trump administration's worldview.And in headlines: Trump begged Russian President Vladimir Putin to “STOP” bombing Ukraine amid ongoing peace talks, Trump asked the Supreme Court to let his administration enforce its ban on trans troops in the military after a lower court judge put it on hold, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth reportedly had Signal installed on a desktop computer at the Pentagon.Show Notes:Read Nahal Toosi's work - https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/04/17/trump-us-africa-relationship-column-00293046Subscribe to the What A Day Newsletter – https://tinyurl.com/3kk4nyz8What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
