Country Superstar Luke Combs is winging his way to New Zealand next month, and his opener isn't someone to sneeze at. Country-pop singer Jordan Davis has had multiple number one hits, two platinum albums, and won multiple awards at the Country Music Awards. He has a significant fanbase in the US, and Kiwi audiences will be able to get a taste of him live. Davis told Mike Hosking that visiting New Zealand has definitely been on the bucket list for a long time. “I thought it would just be me travelling to see the beautiful country that I've seen growing up, but now, being able to mesh that with going over and working some is awesome.” The two first toured together about two or three years ago, Davis revealed, and after headlining a tour of his own, he agreed to do another stadium tour with Combs this past year. “I think Luke knows that I'll jump at any chance to get out and play shows with him,” Davis said. “I love him to death, and he's been really good to me, so I'm excited to continue playing music with him.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

That's basically the question you've got to ask yourself after the latest wool snub. This time it was Kāinga Ora saying no to Kiwi made woollen carpet for state houses, and yes to synthetic imported stuff. Why? It's cheaper. We've been here before, you'll remember the school classrooms - same story. It's happened again despite the coalition agreement deal with New Zealand First ensuring wool carped is used where practical - and that might be the caveat that Kāinga Ora is using here to get out of wool, the deal says that the local product has to be used in government procurement and in government buildings. But Kāinga Ora, like a good kid in class, has been listening to the government's main lecture which is cut costs. Wool is 30% more expensive on average than the nylon equivalent. But the industry says a deal with Kāinga Ora could revitalise a flailing product and its fortune. So we have a clash of competing priorities, cost versus localism. The answer to the question posed at the start of this is another question - what is the net benefit to New Zealand's economy as a whole of government buying wool carpet when you include the jobs that you would create, including the spending that you would encourage and the increased cost of wool on the taxpayer? That surely is how you find the number that you would base a decision on whether to use a New Zealand made product over a synthetic imported equivalent.

I've had a few chats with Matti Fallon over the years and they have always been good ones, so when he suggested a catch-up over lunch, it was a hard yes from me. We sat by the front window of Mr Vincenzo's with Mornington Park and Port Phillip Bay across the road and we feasted: stracciatella, artichokes, walnut vinaigrette and peas, snapper crudo, zucchini flowers, ricotta filling and whipped avocado, rigatoni with wild garlic pesto and smoked mozzarella. So good! We decided to leave the chat until after lunch so in true lo-fi Conversation with a chef style, and because we had already been chatting over lunch, the actual conversation just continued on, so you might feel as though you have entered halfway through. Matti had worked at Rare Hare, Huxtable, DuNord, and had a residency at the Broadsheet Kitchen, as well as running a Kiwi pie business and had finally opened his dream restaurant, Colt Dining in Mornington. Three and half weeks after opening, he lost it all in a fire. I had been about to drive down the following week to chat with Matti and he sent me a photo and the message, Raincheck. But here we are, a year on and he has opened the glorious Mr Vincenzo's. We sat at a wooden table out the back which was the only piece of furniture to be saved from the blaze and launched into it all.

Kia ora,Welcome to Wednesday's Economy Watch where we follow the economic events and trends that affect Aotearoa/New Zealand.I'm David Chaston and this is the international edition from Interest.co.nz.And today we lead with news of an unexpected development in South Korea.But first, dairy prices edged up slightly again in this morning's latest full dairy auction, but that doesn't really tell the story of this event properly. With the local milk production season now past its peak, lesser volumes were on offer. And buyers seem to have already stocked up for Christmas and Chinese New Year. So it will be no surprise to know that most commodities slipped in price today - apart from a +4.1% surge in the WMP price. Almost alone, this twisted the overall index to a +1.2% rise in USD terms, and a +1.6% rise in NZD termsIn the US last week there was something of a surge in retail sales with the benchmark Redbook index rising 7.4% from the same week a year ago. Buying before Trump's tariff-tax seems to be becoming a thing. Black Friday was in both weeks, this year and last year.Also rising more than expected were US job openings in the US. Their JOLTS report seems to show that October data ends a longish easing in the rising in hiring. It also shows that employees are less afraid to quit to find another job.And more optimism is found in the RealClear Markets/TIPP survey for November.And the US logistics industry seems to be settling into a positive phase with another good expansion in November.Across the Pacific, we should not a rather stunning development in South Korea, our fourth largest trading partner. Martial law has been declared by their embattled President. It seems the 'anti-state forces' he is battling are internal ones in labour unions. Even members of his own party are opposing the declaration. Apparently his wife is a key influencer in this decision. His move looks very uncertain at this time, and legislators have voted against the move.The South Korean currency, the Won, fell hard, back near GFC and Asian Financial Crisis levels.In China, State media is talking up the rise in real estate sales transactions, both by households in some cities, and by developers.And later today in Paris, French legislators will vote on whether to topple the Barnier government.And later today, the Aussie will release their Q3-2024 GDP result - which is expected to show a +1.1% expansion from the same quarter a year ago. That would be about the lowest since the pandemic.The UST 10yr yield is now at just on 4.20%, up +2 bps from yesterday.The price of gold will start today at US$2650/oz and up +US$10 from this time yesterday.Oil prices are +US$2 higher at US$70/bbl in the US while the international Brent price is +US$1.50 higher at just over US$73.50/bbl.The Kiwi dollar starts today at 58.8 USc and unchanged from this time yesterday. Against the Aussie we down -20 bps at 90.8 AUc. Against the euro we have dipped -10 bps to 55.9 euro cents. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at just on 68.3, and down -10 bps from yesterday.The bitcoin price starts today at US$95,045 and down -1.4% from this time yesterday. Volatility over the past 24 hours has remained modest at +/- 1.5%.You can find links to the articles mentioned today in our show notes.You can get more news affecting the economy in New Zealand from interest.co.nz.Kia ora.

There's confidence from the Ministry for Primary Industries that a bird flu strain will be eradicated. Around 80,000 chickens are set to be slaughtered after the disease was found at a Mainland Poultry-owned property at Moeraki in Otago yesterday. A second barn tested positive last night, but neither is the strain circulating in wildlife globally. MPI Director-General Ray Smith told Mike Hosking they're mapping half a dozen properties with links to the farm. He says it'll take a couple of weeks before the outer limits of the virus are confirmed, and expects it to be relatively contained. Live or raw poultry exports have been stopped for the time being.

Catching up with the one and only Jeff Weatherall, this Kiwi Aussie transplant is still hard charging, even if that sometimes includes potty training and a bit more of a domestic Lunatic Fringe... As a young Kiwi, starting out with sport was a pretty natural thing, and Jeff Weatherall excelled. Surfing seemed to be a natural fit for him, and competition became the standard at a young age; but as is known to happen when you push for the top, Jeff found himself burned out on the waves, and instead put all of his focus into a sport he'd never considered before, wakeboarding.  On his way to becoming an international champion behind a boat, he happened to catch a bit of footage of a guy named Frank BASE jumping, and knew it was in his cards. Years after his first glimpse, and long after that very first skydive Jeff made his first BASE jump, and was off on a new trajectory in his life that would eventually lead him on to become a full-time skydiver, wingsuit and BASE coach, and lifelong member of the Lunatic Fringe.

Shaun Quincey is a top business executive and angel investor helping fund Kiwi business dreams. But before that he became the only person to have successfully rowed solo from Australia to New Zealand and became a top selling author after writing a book about it. We spent the first half talking about his epic solo Tasman voyage, which took two years of planning and 54 days of rowing in the world's most treacherous stretches of water. This story is insane, and includes yarns about rowing into whales, flipping his boat and being trapped under it for 30 minutes, self-doubt, elite mindset and how his dad is the only other person to have rowed the Tasman solo – in the other direction in 1977. Then in the second half we talk about his incredible business success. Shaun is the founder of Genoapay, which quickly became one of the fastest growing payment companies in New Zealand. Within 6 months, the company was valued at close to 10 million dollars. Genoapay was acquired by Latitude where Shaun became General Manager, before taking up roles as a Director at IceHouse Ventures and Payleadr. He is now CEO and Co-founder of Simfuni – which was named the Insurtech start-up of the year in 2024. All that is to say – what he has achieved since rowing the Tasman is equally impressive as his epic sea expedition. This is a ripper of an ep, Shaun is authentic, self-deprecating and funny – with so much wisdom to share. And we're so stoked to be able to announce him as the latest addition to B2B Speakers. So if you love what you hear, and would like Shaun to share his story  at your function or event, flick us a message by going to B2Bspeakers.co.nz.

Mitch James' eleven year career is set to come to an end. His beginnings were humble, busking on the streets of London and performances at open mic nights that lead to world tours and over a decade of music. James' final single ‘Beautiful Stranger' came out last month and his final album is imminent, with only a few remaining bits of admin to complete before the album's release. He told Mike Hosking that it's been a crazy journey but he's come to the end of his tether with the entertainment industry. “It's a very messed up, and at times evil, industry, that yeah, I think I've got nothing more to prove.” “You're looking at the guitar in the morning and it's not looking as, as beautiful as it used to,” James said. “I felt like I needed to step away to sort of preserve that core love for the music.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Helen Clark foundation is calling on the Government to address New Zealand's growing obesity stats and improve access to healthy foods. The think tank's newly-released report revealed that one in eight Kiwi kids and one-third of adults live with obesity - the third-highest rate in the OECD. Health advocate and activist Dave Letele says it's important to invest in educational programs to teach families how to improve their help - but companies need to be regulated too. "These companies, these sugar companies, these fast-food companies - the most profitable places are all in the poorest areas. I think they should be made to invest in these communities."

A couple of months ago there was a campaign for Hamilton to redesign its coat of arms... Spoiler alert - The mayor said it's not going to happen. But that got us thinking....

Mark Aue, CEO at Chorus, tells us how a Spark spin-off became NZ's largest telecommunications infrastructure company, putting New Zealand 17th globally in fibre uptake—ahead of Australia and the UK. Chorus has spent $5.5 billion building a national fibre network to become the country's definitive network operator. But they're also one of New Zealand's largest property owners, with over 600 exchanges, 200,000 light poles, and 1,200 high sites—potentially a huge revenue opportunity. Meanwhile, Deloitte projects that their network could pump $33 billion annually into New Zealand's economy by 2033, while the average Kiwi household is now chewing through 600GB of data a month—up from 40GB a decade ago.  But challenges remain: Mark shares how Chorus is pushing to expand coverage to the last 13% of the population and managing the complex exit from legacy copper networks.

Paula George – or Georgie as she's commonly known – has a story that will blow you away. She has lived the most remarkable life – with the most inspiring mindset – and she's our favourite type of guest, a humble legend. Georgie is a very private person – and her story, till now, has largely gone untold. Her life started on the back foot in Wales. Georgie wasn't just the only person of colour in her village, but also her family. She was abandoned by her mother, forced into foster care and experienced a childhood filled of prejudice and hurt. But she found safety in sport, where she became a star. She played netball and rugby for Wales, then switched to England and became the first black captain of the England Red Roses. She was one of the first professional women's rugby players and eventually went to six World Cups in two sports. She then became the digital content creator for the All Blacks, married a Kiwi and became a Kiwi, had twins, and a cancer diagnosis. Five years ago she was given four to six months, with survival chances at 25% - but Georgie's still here. And now, she's doing incredible work with the Tania Dalton Foundation where she helps Kiwi kids build their own resilience and happiness. And most recently she's become a part owner of The Northern Kahu: the first all-women owned franchise in New Zealand. Georgie doesn't seek the limelight, she had a taste of fame during her rugby days and hated it. It took a lot for her to share her full story with us and we're so grateful she did – it's a story that will help, inspire and entertain.
