On this week's Bradbury Group with host Martyn 'Bomber' Bradbury, a full-on political rollercoaster - a recession biting harder than a cold southerly, 28,000 jobs gone, and 70,000 Kiwis fleeing to Australia, while food prices rocket past wages. The panel of Claudette Hauiti, Barbara Edmonds, Simon Wilson, and Dita De Boni tear into voter suppression laws that even Judith Collins finds dodgy, Māori rights being stripped from 23 laws, and a “tiny win” ending card surcharges sometime next year. Expect sharp critiques of austerity, corporate welfare, and banks that never pay their fair share. As well as that, Moana Maniapoto is this week's special guest, talking about her recent Winston Peters interview, and we have the War on News. Powered by Waatea News.

Netball New Zealand will dip into its own pocket to keep the ANZ Premiership afloat in 2026. A one-year broadcast deal with TVNZ has been confirmed, with the competition to remain in the current two-round format. Chief executive Jennie Wyllie has not revealed how much the deal is worth or whether players will take a pay cut. She told Mike Hosking there is a change in economics, but they feel it's the new deal is aligned with the vision they have for the game – that Kiwis can see it with ease. Wyllie says the broadcast is different and there's more risk in the market, but they're willing to step into it as they know the game has a future.

Jeremy Williamson, head of private wealth and markets at Craigs Investment Partners, recently claimed there was momentum building for Kiwis to move away from investing in property - but one expert has suggested differently. Matt Ball from the Property Investors Federation acknowledged people were getting more savvy about outside investments and that the property market was changing, but claimed the nation's love affair with property wasn't over. "I think the property market has changed, thanks to some initiatives from the Government and I think people will start to take a bit of a different approach. I don't buy this whole - property investment isn't a productive activity." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week in the Niche Cache we start by chatting through NZ Warriors losing at Mt Smart with big crowds and then roll through the development strategies of Warriors, Phoenix, Auckland FC and NZ Breakers. Jackson Ball has joined Illawarra Hawks in the Australian NBL and Tall Blacks are on their journey to the Asia Cup, so we weave in some Breakers angles before chatting Warriors. We start with the NRLW team, then ponder the impact of Wade Egan and the possibility of Sam Healey coming into the NRL team as well as updating the NSW Cup team who winning. There are potential Kiwi Ferns in Tenika Willison, Rosie Kelly and Kerri Johnson to chat through, plus a Kiwis squad update. Blackcaps are in Zimbabwe preparing for a Test series, after winning the T20 tri-series. We have a quick MLS check in featuring Michael Boxall, Finn Surman, Bill Tuiloma and finish with a deeper dive into Wellington Phoenix in the Aussie Cup.(00:00) NZ Warriors at Mt Smart(16:03) Development strategies(30:29) Mindfulness(37:33) Jackson Ball/NBL(52:22) Tall Blacks(01:01:31) NRLW/Kiwi Ferns(01:07:47) NRL/Kiwis(01:28:19) Blackcaps (01:55:11) MLS(02:05:15) Wellington PhoenixPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/elnichecacheNewsletter: https://thenichecache.substack.comHook us up with a brew: https://buymeacoffee.com/thenichecachethenichecache@gmail.com

Brooke van Velden's anti-health and safety crusade's taken a rather bizarre twist - it's the plot twist nobody saw coming. She's consulting the public on safe activities kids are allowed to do on farms, like watering plants and collecting chicken eggs. It's a bit of an odd strategy, but the strategy seems to be that there's a potential problem with the law. Anyone under 15 is technically not allowed to do work on a working farm. You could get fined $50,000. But nobody's been done for letting little Johnny pick up eggs. So, it's a potential problem, but not an actual problem. The Minister's strategy, surely, is to point out how ridiculous the law is in the first place. But her response sounds a bit off for a Minister who says we need to get away from over regulation and consultation and nonsense and just let Kiwis get on with their lives. She is quoted as saying: “We'll be consulting with farmers and the agriculture sector on the safety thresholds for light chores children can do on farms... while ensuring safety is not compromised.” It does a bit gobbledegook. It sounds a bit unnecessary. It sounds a bit odd. If there's a problem, then why not just change it? Why consult up the wazoo through till September, then waste time and money, no official advice, and blah blah blah. If it's a problem, then make it go away. And quickly.

Tapping or swiping your bank cards is about to get cheaper for shoppers, as the government announced it is set to ban surchages for paywave by 2026. The Commerce Commission estimates Kiwis pay about $150 million in card surcharges each year, including up to $65 million in excessive charges. Commerce & Consumer Affairs Minister, Scott Simpson spoke to Lisa Owen.

One investment manager says there's growing momentum for New Zealanders to give up their love affair with property. Money correspondent Susan Edmunds spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

In this episode I sit down with Simon Carkeek from PracMed, a New Zealand-based company focused on practical first aid training. Simon shares how PracMed's hands-on, evidence-based approach has saved 127 lives by emphasizing essential skills like bleeding control and airway management. The discussion covers the importance of confidence, real-world scenarios, and mental health support for responders. Simon also talks about his military background, the company's high training standards, and their mission to empower people to act decisively in emergencies, both in New Zealand and globally.In Simon's words- “"It all began with a vision of a better way.After spending nearly 7 years working in hostile environments around the globe, I returned home and started working in industry training. Simon saw firsthand how poor the quality training was in NZ, and how many organisations treat courses as ‘tick-the-box' exercises only for compliance. He knew that in order to save more New Zealanders from preventable death, Kiwis needed to be given the knowledge and opportunity for engaging, relevant training. His goal is to ensure there are more competent and confident responders, and less qualified witnesses.In 2018, PracMed NZ was born."

The Government's scrapping card surcharges at the till, which collectively cost Kiwis $150 million each year. Commerce and Consumer Affairs Minister Scott Simpson confirmed they'll ban in-store credit and debit card surcharges, like paywave fees. He says it's important for consumers to have transparency when it comes to pricing. "In a competitive world, businesses understand the price-competitive nature of the businesses that they operate and the goods and services they provide. Surcharges are annoying, they're pesky and most customers don't actually know whether they're paying the full price." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand’s energy sector is broken. That’s according to an open letter calling for the Government to do more to keep our power prices down. Soaring power costs is always a concern – but, we now live in a country where for some it’s a privilege to have power. We've heard too many stories about businesses closing due to the rising cost of just keeping the lights on, and everyday Kiwis are struggling as well... tens of thousands of households are cut off from basic, essential services, just because they can’t afford to pay their bills. So, what can we actually do to keep prices down over winter - and can we ever get them to stay down permanently? Today on The Front Page, as part of the Herald’s Power to the People campaign, we speak to the manager of Consumer NZ’s Powerswitch, Paul Fuge.

The job market is slowly rebounding from last year's low point. SEEK's latest Employment Report shows job ads dropped for a second month, down three percent month on month. Applications per job ad fell two percent. Country Manager Rob Clark told Mike Hosking this is just a small drop, and we're still at record unemployment levels.

Dr Timoti Te Moke became a doctor at age 56, but it wasn't an easy road to get into medical school. Before he started at Middlemore Hospital, he endured a childhood filled with abuse, time in state care, in prison and eventually gangs. He detailed his journey in his new book, The Unlikely Doctor, and says he wrote it to shine a light on the barriers holding Kiwis back from reaching their potential. "There are a lot of people that could be where I am, but due to the barriers that society put in place, they are not able to do this. Essentially, what my book is looking at is the potential this country could have if we realised that these are the barriers we have in place."

There's growing calls for politicians and their families to give up private healthcare when making decisions for the country. A letter signed by health workers argues MPs should rely on the public EDs, waitlists and services used by everyone else. Spokesperson Doctor Marcus Lee says health workers are frustrated with the public system. The Northland cardiologist says it comes down to accountability and integrity - and means politicians will have skin in the game.

It is considered the Oscars of the Board Game world, or the Spiel de Jahres and New Zealand has taken home one of the top prizes. Kiwis Carl de Visser and Jarratt Gray won the Expert Game Award for their game called Endeavor Deep Sea. The game has been a couple of years in the making and sees players representing an institute of oceanographers doing research and conservation work. Carl de Visser spoke to Melissa Chan-Green.

In this episode, we ask a big question — what's the real limit on house prices? Because many Kiwis wonder: If incomes don't rise much … how can property prices keep going up?We unpack:The latest house price-to-income ratios across NZ (and how they compare internationally)Whether Tauranga and Auckland are truly “the most unaffordable” – or if the data hides something deeperWhy DTI (debt-to-income) ratios might be more useful than price-to-income when assessing affordabilityYou'll also hear why existing homeowners with high equity – not first-home buyers – might be the key to understanding what's really driving the property market.For more on the limits of affordability, check out our article on house prices NZ.Don't forget to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠create your free Opes+ account here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.For more from Opes Partners:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Sign up for the weekly Private Property newsletter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠

Debt stress is rising across New Zealand and it's not just mortgages. Over 485,000 Kiwis are behind on bills, with short-term debt spiking and KiwiSaver hardship withdrawals soaring. We unpack what's driving the pressure: rising living costs, stagnant wages, and an economy that's leaving more households at breaking point.Next Steps:If you're unsure how to manage your mortgage in this environment, talk to Lighthouse Mortgages - whether you're refixing, refinancing, or just need a second opinion, the team can help you make a smarter move.For more money tips follow us on:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The content in this podcast is the opinion of the hosts.

More evidence today that New Zealand is on a different economic path to Australia. Today we got the CPI inflation data which showed that New Zealand inflation lifted further in Q2 to 2.7%. This mean that inflation is already at the peak the Reserve Bank had forecast in its May monetary policy statement. This confirms … Continue reading "Lessons, As Kiwis See Inflation Up, But Home Prices Down!"

We've all experienced that moment when someone glances at their phone mid-conversation and you suddenly feel invisible. Kiwis check our devices around 50 times an hour, and it's costing us more than we think. Psychiatrist and writer Dr. Samaiya Mushtaq says attention is a form of care, and when we lose it, we lose empathy too. She writes for Modern Love in the New York Times and on her Substack, The Middle Path. In a new essay she explores how distraction lets us dodge discomfort and why real connection starts with giving people your full attention. The title of the essay is How Much Control Do We Have Over What We Pay Attention To? Dr Mushtaq spoke to Jesse.

Not everyone wants to wait until 65 to enjoy life. For some Kiwis, financial freedom isn't about retirement — it's about creating options earlier.

Send us a textWhen Americans consider moving abroad, one of the first questions is often "Can I go somewhere where they speak English?" But, it's not just about avoiding language barriers—it's about finding a place where cultural references, legal systems, and core values feel somewhat familiar during an otherwise challenging transition.Canada, Australia, and New Zealand offer exactly that comfort zone with the added benefits of universal healthcare, stronger social safety nets, and political environments that many find increasingly appealing as American politics grows more divisive. These countries consistently rank among the world's highest for quality of life, environmental standards, and personal safety. They're not utopias, but for many Americans, they represent stability in uncertain times.The reality check? These countries operate sophisticated immigration systems designed to select newcomers based on what they bring to the table economically. Each uses a points-based framework that rewards youth, education, professional experience in high-demand fields, and language proficiency. These systems aren't random—they're strategically crafted to address domestic labor shortages and demographic challenges.The good news: all three countries allow dual citizenship, meaning Americans don't have to surrender their US passports. The challenging news: desire alone isn't enough—you need to match what these countries are seeking. For professionals under 40-45 with college degrees working in healthcare, IT, engineering, education or skilled trades, doors open more easily. For others, creative pathways might be necessary, potentially including study, entrepreneurship, or family connections.Featuring:Brandon MillerAaron Martin-------------------------Follow Deep Dive:BlueskyYouTube Email: deepdivewithshawn@gmail.com Music: Majestic Earth - Joystock

A recent survey has revealed that Kiwis are more nosy in open homes than many would expect. The survey found that 72% of participants admitted to snooping through wardrobes, and 69% confessed to looking through drawers and cupboards. Despite this, real estate agent and Location, Location, Location host Jane Kiely told Ryan Bridges that she's never had a missing item reported from an open home. ‘11 years I've been selling, I have not had one item stolen or moved' LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Evan Henshaw-Plath, also known as Rabble, was born in Berkeley while his Mom was a student. His parents were hippies, and he grew up near Silicon Valley, which gave him access to work with startups as early as High School. He founded Odeo, which eventually became Twitter. He got the name Rabble cause it was founded by three Evan's, which didn't work - so he went with his online nickname. He has a cool track record of working not only on Twitter, but Flickr, Palm, and other big names. He lives in New Zealand, enjoying all the outdoor activities, and participates in activism in digital rights and environmentalism. Being a Vegetarian, he admits that his comfort food is Mexican cuisine, which he doesn't get a lot of in the land of the Kiwis.Rabble was disappointed when Twitter shut down its open app capabilities. He wanted something like Twitter, but built to where someone couldn't take away his access. He started to dig into protocols, and eventually landed in San Francisco to tell his friends that he was going to make social media work like email and messaging.This is the creation story of Rabble Labs & Verse.SponsorsPaddle.comSema SoftwarePropelAuthPostmanMeilisearchMailtrap.TECH Domains (https://get.tech/codestory)Linkshttps://www.verse-pbc.org/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rabble/Our Sponsors:* Check out Vanta: https://vanta.com/CODESTORYSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/code-story/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Could Roger Tuivasa-Sheck make another code switch in 2027? The Sydney Morning Herald reports the Warriors great is a target of the proposed Rugby360 competition for when he comes off contract after next season. The newspaper estimates the value of the offer at over one million dollars per season – double what Tuivasa-Sheck is currently earning with the Warriors. Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Heather du Plessis-Allan this is a massive threat to the NRL. He says they've always had to contend with competitions trying to recruit across codes, but the money and consortiums that are coming up now have too big a pool of money to say no to.
