James Meager is responding to Chris Hipkins' comments about the Minister for the South Island role. The Labour Leader called the position a “PR job”, saying there would be no need for Meager's role if the Government was actually prioritising the South Island. Hipkins says Meager's not doing anything because he has no budget or decision-making ability, and this is just a way of telling the South Island it hasn't been forgotten. Meager has hit back, saying it speaks volumes that Hipkins thinks the only way to achieve something is having a big bureaucracy and budget. He says it's disappointing to hear that kind of comment, and he'd rather hear something more positive about the aspirations of the South Island, which is why he's there.

Labour's yet to rule potential coalition partners in or out. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters is refusing to work with Chris Hipkins next election, but has not entirely ruled Labour out. On social media, Peters posted a Government of Labour, the Greens, and Te Pati Māori would be a "circus" and a "radical woke show". Hipkins told John MacDonald that they actually ruled out working with Peters before the last election, and he's said since that that's unlikely to change. However, he says potential coalition decisions will be made closer to the election, based on principles and the party's compatibility, rather than the petty personality vendettas that seem to be occupying Peters' time. The Labour Leader is also calling the role of the Minister for the South Island a "PR job." Rangitata MP James Meager picked up the new portfolio in January, alongside Hunting and Fishing, Youth, and Associate Transport. The Prime Minister says he will be a critical voice for the South Island. But Hipkins told MacDonald there would be no need for Meager's role if the Government was actually prioritising the South Island. He says Meager's not doing anything because he has no budget or decision-making ability, and this is just a way of telling the South Island it hasn't been forgotten.

Minister for the South Island tells Jack Tame that his position is both vital to the functioning of the government, and unnecessary as Ministers are always thinking of all NZers.

Pastor Stephanie invites us to consider the big impact a small gift can make when offered out of love and compassion. A meager offering of 5 loaves and 2 fish rippled out across the crowd of 5,000. A simple gesture of caring, like returning a cherished blankie to a frazzled mom and fussy infant, can make a world of difference in the lives of our neighbors. And serving our neighbors from a place of love and compassion lightens the load of ‘Compassion Fatigue' that comes from a place of obligation.

Indiana University demographers released projections last week that show the state's population growth cratering until it hits near-zero growth by the 2050s. In fact, more than two-thirds of Indiana's 92 counties will see losses in population over the next 30 years, according to the estimates from the Indiana Business Research Center at the Indiana University Kelley School of Business. This can be explained by a grim but relatively simple phenomenon: The number of deaths in the state will begin surpassing the number of births in the 2040s. At that point, migration from other areas will account for all of Indiana's population growth. Meager population growth would have serious repercussions for our labor force and economy, putting pressure on officials across the state to make Indiana as appealing a place to live as possible. The counties with large cities will be the exceptions. The 11-county Indianapolis metro area is expected to add residents at a relatively robust clip over several decades. In fact, the metro area is projected to hit about 2,497,000 residents by 2050—an increase of nearly 405,000 from 2020. And the state's five fastest-growing counties will be suburban Indianapolis counties. The question now is, “What should public officials on the city, county and state level do with this information?” Matt Kinghorn, the principal researcher on the IBRC study, is our guest this week to break down the numbers, explain what's behind these expected trends, dig into the challenges facing the state and provide a preview for a tale of two different Indianas. The IBJ Podcast is brought to you by Taft.

Consumers cut back on retail purchases in April and May, pinching pennies in response to inflation. AP correspondent Jennifer King reports.

This episode attempts to contextualize the few genuine positives to Pistons owner Tom Gores in the larger picture of the upcoming offseason, and also discusses the NBA postseason so far.

The fast track approvals bill is a planned piece of legislation that aims to cut through existing consent processes for several future works. These developments include bridges, roads, and drilling, which each could infringe on conservation or protected land. The bill has been met with backlash from members of the public, who up until the 19th of April have been able to make submissions on the bill as it goes through the select committee process. Criticisms and protests against the bill have continued in recent weeks, with many claiming that it undermines democracy and allows members of parliament to circumvent conservation laws or expert advice.  In our weekly catchup with the National Party's James Meager, Wire host Castor asked him about the Fast Track Approvals Bill: whether his opinions have changed since the last time I interviewed him, how this bill affects New Zealand's democracy, and the overall theme of urgency we've been seeing with the current government.

In early April, Christopher Luxon and David Seymour addressed journalists with promises of several policies aimed at reducing absences in public schools.  These policies joined other policies introduced by the current government, such as the school cellphone ban and ban on disposable vapes, which hope to improve education outcomes in our schools and increase attendance.  Additionally, the government recently announced 565 job cuts in the Ministry of Education, including some currently vacant roles, in part of their larger move to cut costs across all ministries.  In our weekly catchup with the National Party, Wire host Castor spoke to James Meager about these issues, both the theory behind the policies and how the policies will functionally be implemented.

The Labour Party's controversial Three Waters reforms were repealed last week. National's replacement plan seeks to address the complaints of many who pushed back against the bill, while maintaining support for challenged regions.  Additionally, this Sunday saw National Leader Christopher Luxon pushed out of the yearly Big Gay Out event by protestors. Amongst other issues, the protestors are standing against proposed changes to the school curriculum, removing and replacing gender, sexuality, and relationship-based education guidelines.  Producer Castor spoke to National's James Meager about the Three Waters replacement, including recent environmental concerns. He also discusses the curriculum changes, and how the National Party supports queer young people.

2024 0210 Saturday of the fifth week of ordinary time

Now that we actually have things underway, this Government had a good week.  Taking almost two months after voting to open things is ludicrous, the three weeks of counting that is now under investigation anyway given they cocked it up, the swearing in and speech from the throne on two separate days when it could have been done in one - but at least after all that they have promised a shortened summer break given all there is to do.  The media, having not learned their lesson about being Labour Party apparatchiks, did their best to undo a Government that has barely started by banging on about ignoring Treasury advice over FPA's, despite yesterday's revelations about their beloved Labour Party making it a habit on things like uncosted infrastructure.  They also tried their best on Māori bonuses and went to town over smoking. The smoking had some merit given that was, to many, a surprise out of the coalition deal.  But the media, like a lot of the unions and lobby groups who have gnashed their teeth, seem to fail to grasp that a change of Government actually means things get done differently and the reason they are to be done differently is because we voted for it to be so.  An uplifting aspect of the week, if not a small irony, was the Māori side of the National Party capped off by the comments of James Meager, who was surely the star of the show.  In the heavily Māori ceremony of swearing in Tama Potaka spoke for National, reminding us that the stereotype of a white male grouping is not remotely realistic in 2023.  That was followed by Meager, who gave a wonderful reminder that too much of the Māori political story in this country is portrayed in a light of misery, deprivation and handouts, when in fact Meager is most probably closer to reality, being young, bright, determined and successful.  Getting rid of Onslow was easy and the light rail mess in Auckland will follow suit.  In these early days a lot is easy, tangible and reminds us that help is on the way for the economy.  But Mark Mitchell's letter, although creative, is not perhaps the outcome you were led to believe when the rhetoric was flying in Opposition. So, the lesson is that delivery is everything. You can promise all you like but the voters goodwill extends only to the point you pony up.  But there is momentum. Chris Luxon looks fit to burst with energy, Nicola Willis lined us up for the bad news this Wednesday week, Erica Stanford spoke so well in response to the PISA shambles and Winston Peters called for a cease fire in the Middle East (he might want to apply that to himself in general).  All in all, a week in for this country, I am hopeful. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.    The Government: 7/10   Underway at last and a very solid start. A lot of intent, a lot of promises and a lot of energy.     Parliament: 6/10  Underway at last, almost two months since voting day. Politics moves about as fast as justice.     James Meager: 8/10  Universally seen as the star of the week with that speech. The trick now is to live up to the words.    The Auditor General's election audit: 3/10  When you have to investigate counting you know we are not up to much.     PISA results: 2/10  What a disgrace. What an abject, intergenerational failure and what a shocking way to deal with our kids.     Singapore: 8/10  The good news is they have the answer and they are like us, except with their act together. So the model is right there.     Tohu Harris: 8/10  Yes, Beaudy is good but Harris is the man. And with Harris you know it means next year is our year.    Golf: 4/10  New balls that don't go as far. Talk about killing the fun.     LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One familiar face in Rhode Island's labor movement, Pat Crowley of the Rhode Island AFL-CIO, is poised to take over the leadership of that union. So can labor maintain its local relevance?

Dr. Salvatore Forcina survived against all odds. His story is one of tenacity and perseverance. Dr. Forcina was born in Italy in 1941. This was the time of World War 2 and the war and its aftermath presented locals with few options other than to flee their homes and later, ultimately, their country. Dr. Forcina has been a general and vascular surgeon for forty years and also trained in trauma surgery.  Born in Italy during World War II, Salvatore Forcina was a young boy who survived all odds by living through his young childhood without any real or proper shelter. Like many Italians during this time, a month after turning eight years old his parents followed this migration to Argentina, a developing country at the time rich with natural resources and hope for a more stable life.    Sent away to live with Redemptorist priests for seven long years as the only available option to study, this young boy struggled emotionally and psychologically with no social outlets and little emotional development. Salvatore's dream to study medicine and help people propelled him to carry on and continue his education, eventually being educated and living on three different continents, each with a new language to learn and master.  Despite his meager beginnings which provided no social and little educational opportunity and despite the many years and setbacks it took him to accomplish this, his goal was ultimately accomplished because of his sheer determination. This true-life story is motivating, uplifting, and based on what genuine love of family can provide to someone.

Live from the Heart of America—I'm Steve Gruber— Your Soldier of Truth—the Tip of the Spear against socialists—here ready to fight for you from the Foxhole of Freedom—AND—REMEMBER TO THINK while its still legal—this is the Steve Gruber Show—   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One— The Mayor of Tampa went fishing and hooked into more than $1.1 million dollars—BUT it was all cocaine—so that isn't worth a nickel—   Number Two— In a major red flag moment—China is sliding into deflation—and that could signal a major problem for the Global economy at a time when our numbers are not very good either—   Number Three— The latest poll from Reuters yesterday puts Joe Bidens approval rating at a meager 41%-- and its not likely to improve anytime soon—and that is because people are starting to get a steady diet of the Biden family schemes and systemic corruption that has enriched several members of the clan—and gives the clear appearance of selling out America at the same time—   The latest revelations revealed by the New York Post shows a whopping $20 million dollars that flowed in to the Bidens—by way of shell companies and bank maneuvers—and Hunter was facilitating it all it appears—   The cash, according to the reporting flowed in from all sorts of places including Russia, Kazakstan and Ukraine—and some of those sending money the Biden's way—had dinner and other conversations with the current Commander in Chief—   Yes folks—this is the biggest scandal in American political history—except for possibly the assassination of JFK in 1963—but this political scandal is quickly becoming a 4-alarm fire—   The latest revelations all come from newly identified bank records—and the payments are also flagged coming from China and the CCP plus Romania too—and who knows how many more countries will show up on the list, now that the lid is off and light is shining in—   And what did that $20 million dollars buy exactly? Well it bought exactly what you would think—access to then Vice President Biden—or has Devon Archer called it in closed door hearings last week—The Brand—and the Brand was always Joe Biden—who could wield influence inside the Obama White House—   But when asked point blank Wednesday—Joe Biden bristled—    Well I certainly believe him now, don't you? I mean if Joe says there is nothing to see—well by gosh we should just take that to the bank—just like Hunter took tens of millions of dollars in bribes to the bank on behalf of dad and the rest of the family—   And trust me this scandal is going to continue to grow and expand—BUT it is by no means the only thing that has this President fighting not for his political future and a second term come next year—this has him in a fight just to remain in office until next November and the Presidential Election—   In fact it just seems to be one misstep after another anymore with this President—who looks older and less competent by the day—and everyone is taking notice of the decline, the anger and the inability to find his way off any stage after giving incoherent remarks—or delivering comments with the ultimate creepy whispering voice—   So lets continue—   That of course never happened—BUT it gives you the clear indication that the idea of Climate Lockdowns that I have been brilliantly warning you about for a very long time now—seem to be under discussion—why else would he blurt out that he already declared a Climate Emergency? The best answer is because it has been discussed—and discussed in detail several times—   Joey was making these comments after granting an interview to the world renowned news outlet at the Weather Channel—because that is where you go for hard hitting journalism—BUT even in this friendly venue—Old Joe continued to struggle—   I mean what do you tell the young people that you promised you'd end all modern advancements and take America back to the Dark Ages if elected—that you would destroy fossil fuel and American energy independence—if only they would vote for you—you could ensure disaster for the nation—and they all bought into the socialist stupidity—BUT Joey—what happened? But hey—everyone can afford it right? I mean with Bidenomics every single American can afford to replace all their major appliances in the name of saving the planet—and putting on tens of thousands of dollars of solar panels—all made in China in the name of the Green New Deal should be a no brainer right Joey?   So now you know why Joe Biden is the least popular President in modern history—and why his numbers continue to collapse and the Democrat Party is in full on panic—because if Joe fails that's bad—BUT is Kamala Harris is ever sworn in as President—it is a nightmare scenario for the party—because they cannot go after her—I mean they can primary her—at the substantial risk of alienating every single black voter they have—and that danger is very real—   But I digress-- While Joey is still here eating Ice Cream and floundering around trying to read the prompter—there are many other concerns—that are destroying any support he still has in this country—   Yeah, sorry but Bidenomics is a terrible failure because it is a terrible set of policies and everyone damn well knows it—   And again—these are all just adding up—how about we look at 7 million illegals coming in since he began having cookes and milk in the White House—   And the border in some once reliable Democrat precints is really taking a toll—   These people are not impressed one little bit by the flood of people forcing their kids to take a back seat— But don't you worry—because when its all said and done—Joey has a plan for America—and really big plan—
