Nicola Willis and Tangi Utikere joined Morning Report this morning for the Weekly Political Panel; Green Party co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says recent changes to the Zero Carbon Act and emissions reductions plans don't add up and will leave New Zealanders paying billions to meet international climate obligations. Swarbrick spoke to Corin Dann; The NZ Breakers have made a collective decision not to wear the rainbow Pride flag on their uniform during next year's NBL Pride Round. Ian Roberts, Australia's first openly gay NRL player and advocate spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss; A patient advocate has suggested many Kiwis would be willing to pay more tax, if it can be ring fenced to only be spent on health. Malcolm Mulholland spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss; A rare pink grasshopper has been spotted hopping through Canterbury's Mackenzie Basin. Department of Conservation ranger Jen Schori spoke to Corin Dann.

There's concern about how many people drop out of apprenticeships, according to new reports. Vocational Education Minister Penny Simmonds has told a conference more than half of trainees aren't completing training. She says it's driven by a number of reasons, but she's pointing the finger at the previous Government incentivising training. Simmonds says it means many signed up despite not being that interested - and didn't complete their apprenticeship. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealanders have lost $3 billion to scams in the last year according to a new report. 72% of adults encountered a scam in the past year. The average amount of money lost was $3,352, and shopping scams are the most common. But 26% of people surveyed admitted they had committed fraudulent acts in the past year too. Chief Online Safety Officer Sean Lyons spoke to Lisa Owen.

New polling data has revealed less Kiwis have faith the current Government can turn the economy around ahead of the upcoming election. A New Zealand Herald-Kantar poll has found voters are evenly split on Labour's proposed capital gains tax and about 45 percent of respondents in an IPSOS survey scored the Luxon-led Government below 3 out of 10. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says it's clear a significant number of people are still opposed to the capital gains tax and the Government has plenty of time to expose the negative impacts. "There's also a big, undecided group in the middle and those are the people that we will be speaking to between now and the election."

Tonight on The Huddle, Thomas Scrimgeour from the Maxim Institute and Child Fund CEO Josie Pagani joined in on a discussion about the following issues of the day - and more! Schools across the country are mobilising and publicly committing to upholding the Treaty, despite the Government's plan to remove the obligations from boards. Luxon has said the schools shouldn't focus on politics - does he have a point? New polls show the Government's falling out of favour with voters and Kiwis are split on the capital gains tax. What can the Government do to improve? Uber drivers have won the battle against Uber in the Supreme Court. The court has ruled that Uber drivers are employees. Is this the right move?

A retiree has lost almost a $250,000 dollars to a convincing fake cryptocurrency trading scam. He's among the many Kiwis who are losing millions to sophisticated scams. Financial Ombudsman Susan Taylor spoke to Corin Dann.

Couple of things from this morning's poll on CGT. Basically, we're evenly split. As many of us are in favour of Labour's plan as are against it. The results are interesting, though. The details. So, more Aucklanders hate it more than the rest of the country. 45% of Aucklanders oppose it. Only 32% support it. Now, Auckland holds the keys to the kingdom, electorally, as Labour found out in stunning defeat at the polls two years ago. Auckland lockdowns collapsed their vote. As did the cost of living. So, if you're National, that's where you focus your anti-CGT campaign. Its' also interesting, and the Herald piece on the poll makes this point, in areas where people are doing well, where house prices haven't caved. There's more support. In areas feeling poor because their house price has fallen through the floor, they don't like it. So basically, you have squeezed-middle voters telling you they feel too poor to support another tax. And so, you end up with this fight between people who like the sound of an idea, and people who feel it will threaten their chance of growing wealth. Then you've got to ask yourself, will the tax do what it says on the label? Will it pay for millions of extra doctor's visits? Where will these doctor's magically appear from? Does this party have a good track record with delivering on promises, practically if they tell you how much but not really how? You could look at this poll and think it's a win for capital gains. And it is. Sort of. But there's plenty of fodder for an anti-capital gains campaign which is no doubt being workshopped by some ad agency as we speak.

It’s been revealed that Kiwis lost a record $3 billion to scams this year. That’s a 30% increase from $2.3 billion last year. Netsafe and the Global Anti-Scam Alliance ‘State of Scams in New Zealand’ report shows that scammers are getting more sophisticated – and victims are facing persistent barriers to reporting and recovering their losses. So, how should we protect ourselves and who should be held accountable? Today on The Front Page, Netsafe’s Sean Lyons is with us to break down the latest figures, and discuss how New Zealand can better prepare itself for the evolving world of scams.

The summer holidays are getting closer, meaning more Kiwis will be leaving their offices for breaks - but research shows they might not fully disconnect. New research shows fewer than half of New Zealand workers are fully disconnecting from the job when they're on holiday, putting them at risk of burnout. Massey University professor of management Dr Jarrod Haar says it's better for workers to make the most of their time off. "It is indicative, I think, of our modern day working society that it is just so easy to check your work emails on your smartphone, even down on the beach...and that has repercussions for our wellbeing."

The holiday season means more gatherings and Christmas parties - and with it, more opportunities to binge-drink. Recent data shows one in every five New Zealand adults were hazardous drinkers, placing themselves and others at risk of harm. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara reveals how Kiwis can be mindful and stay safe this holiday season. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Stats NZ latest data shows nearly 73,000 New Zealanders left the country in the past year, while only 26,000 returned. Among those who believe the grass is greener there is Sean Collier, a 27-year-old lawyer and stand-up comedian from Whangarei who moved to Melbourne two years ago.

As you'll have heard in the news this morning, the Retirement Commissioner has called for a 10-year roadmap and cross-party agreement, following the release of its review of New Zealand's retirement system. More Kiwis are living longer, working differently, and facing pressures around housing and care. We're facing a huge rise in the number of older people. At the same time, we're facing fewer working Kiwis who can pay for the associated costs of aged care. Current data shows that right now, for every 100 people of working age, we have 28 retirees. Those numbers are changing quickly. By 2050, just 25 years away, we're looking at 38 retirees per 100 workers. By 2060, we'll have twice as many retirees compared to workers. In 2019, those older than 65 received $13 billion more in government services, mainly super and healthcare, than they contributed in taxes. I mean, that's just the way it is. You end up using the health system more when you're young, very, very young, like under five, but mainly when you're very, very old. And in the middle, you shouldn't really be accessing it at all. Of course, we're seeing those numbers going up as well, but that's just the way it is. It's the Western world over. It's just life. Treasury has been screaming for more than a decade now that we simply don't have enough money coming in to keep the lights on. Last week it gave another warning. Debt is not only being used for capital expenditure, but to cover operating costs. So it's like using your credit card to pay the necessary bills. It's unsustainable. And this is occurring as the books haven't yet recovered from Covid and Cyclone Gabrielle, and as the costs associated with an aging population are set to soar. As I said, we're not alone in this. The Western world over is struggling with this. Japan's been staring down the barrel of a shrinking workforce and a rising number of oldies for years now. The Prime Minister Fumio Kishida made an interesting point in January 2023 that Japan is standing on the verge of whether they can continue to function as a society, facing as it does the twin threats of falling birth rates and an ever-increasing elderly population. And when I say elderly, they live a really long time – they've got really healthy oldies who are regularly hitting 100. In 2022, almost half of Japanese firms relied on workers over the age of 70. So they're trying to encourage older people to still participate, to continue if they're up to it, if they can. So we could work longer. We could make use of the technology and the digitisation and the AI if you want to continue working. We could shift health to be rather than end-of-life care, try and put an emphasis on preventing people getting health issues and try and keep people out of hospital with preventable illnesses. We could prioritise health and well-being to ensure we stay healthy for longer. When it comes to providing a broader tax base, we'll be competing with every other Western country to import workers, because I think it's pointless telling young people, and certainly other countries have found this, to have more babies. There's financial incentives for young couples to have more babies, but a couple of 100 bucks here and there is not going to make people have children. What makes young families want to have children is a belief in the future, a belief in the society in which they live, a belief that they can support the children and give them what they need in terms of and it's not just financial things, it's time. If you're working seven days a week to provide for your family, you're going to limit the number of children you're going to have. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In the race to decarbonize agriculture, the spotlight often falls on carbon sequestration, genetics, and alternative proteins. But have we overlooked something that's right in front of us? Electricity.Mike Casey is a self-described “tech bro turned farmer” from Cromwell, New Zealand. Mike runs what's believed to be the world's first fully electric farm, made up of 21 electric machines, from irrigation systems and frost-fighting fans, to electric tractors and forklifts. His business is aptly named Electric Cherries, where power is generated from renewable sources on-farm. Mike says this has enabled him to save tens of thousands on energy costs every year, while also developing a business model for farming that's both profitable and low-carbon.Sarah and Mike discuss:How an old diesel pump kicked off Mike's electrification crusadeThe economics of going electric on a farm (and is it only possible in New Zealand or on a cherry farm?)What electric machinery changes (and doesn't) about running a farm business Why farmers stand to benefit from the shift away from centralized, fossil fuel power generation to decentralized renewable energyMike is also the CEO of Rewiring Aotearoa, a movement helping Kiwis switch from fossil fuels to renewable energy.

The Police Minister says like many Kiwis, he's disappointed - by a scathing IPCA report highlighting past failures in senior Police management of complaints about one of their own.

It was really good on Friday to see the Government respond to the film industry's call for help to remain globally competitive. We're a country full of talented, skilled, creative, innovative, hard-working people, who have created a vibrant and reputable screen industry. It's a well-established sector which provides professional services from pre-production and shooting through to post-production. It employs 24,000 people, and contributes $3.5 billion to the economy each year. Regardless of whether you love movies and TV shows, or care where they're made, we should all be proud of this export industry, what it has produced, and how well it is regarded on the world stage. It would be crazy not to protect and grow it. The reality for the screen industry is that the work can fluctuate - being overrun with productions for a few years, then have a year when very little happens. So whatever we can do to make New Zealand a consistently attractive destination is vital. The Government's changes to the Screen Rebate Scheme kick off from 1 January, and are a good start to keeping us in the game. The plan is to lower the minimum qualifying spend to access the rebate for feature films from $15 million to $4 million and to reduce the threshold for the ‘5 percent uplift' from $30 million to $20 million, allowing more mid-budget productions to qualify for the additional incentive which takes the rebate to 25 percent. It will also expand the eligibility for the 5 percent uplift to include post-production, digital and visual effects only projects - this makes a lot of sense, we are world renowned in this field. And finally, to remove the cap on above-the-line costs such as director, producer, principal cast, and screenwriter fees, aligning with international practice. It's all possibly a bit late - we still lag the rest of the world who are also actively trying to remain competitive - Australia has increased their rebate to 40 percent, Ireland is at 32 percent, the UK 29 percent, and Canada is up to 29 percent. But it is a pragmatic step in the right direction, and it's good to see the Government taking action to create a more competitive and sustainable industry which employs Kiwis, generates business and adds to economic growth. Every dollar invested through the rebate delivers around $2.40 in return to the wider economy - through wages, services and international exposure. International productions also employ the majority of screen workers in New Zealand. It's been a tough year for many in who work in the screen industry. For the world's big players who are looking to potentially bring projects to New Zealand, this is hopefully the nudge they need to commit.

The Pacific Championship wraps this weekend with Sunday's decider between the Kiwis and Toa Samoa. The Kiwis dominated Tonga last week in front of a record 39,000 strong crowd at Eden Park, cinching their spot in the final. But even though the Kangaroos aren't involved, the NRL have decided the final will be hosted in Sydney, despite efforts from the New Zealand Rugby League. CEO Greg Peters told Mike Hosking they would've loved to have hosted the whole thing in New Zealand, as the two fixtures we did host were pretty successful. However, he said, the NRL is the big dog in town, and they wanted content in the Australian market ahead of the World Cup, which is being hosted there next year.

Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking unemployment may rise further this quarter, but there are positives, like the increase in hours worked and a move from part time to full time work.

Of course, it'll upset some, but most Kiwis will quietly be nodding along. I break it all down — what it means, why it matters, and why this might just be the moment National grows a spine.

There’s a strong Aussies vs Kiwis rivalry brewing too with GT3 and GT4 from Oz staging their final round of the season as a part of the event.https://nextgennz.co.nz/ Head to Rusty's Facebook, Twitter or Instagram and give us your feedback and let us know who you want to hear from on Rusty's GarageSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
