Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Bush

Victoria Police have a new Chief Commissioner - Mike Bush. Mike is the former New Zealand Commissioner of Police and has had a decorated career. However, his time as a Detective and a lead investigator saw him take on some gruesome and confronting cases - a far stretch from the press conferences and media appearances as commissioner. Last year, Mike joined Crime Insiders Detectives host, and fellow former NZ cop, Brent Sanders, to talk about some of the most memorable cases from his 40+ year career.

Former New Zealand Minister of Police Stuart Nash was Mike Bush's boss when he was New Zealand's top cop and he speaks on what Victorian's should expect from the newly appointed chief commissioner. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Karen Middleton looks at the strategy behind the Labour victory in the Australian elections, the mushroom murder trail attracting international attention and NZ's former police chief, Mike Bush, is appointed Victoria's police commissioner.

It was a big night in Frankston last night as the Melbourne born Chicago Bulls player subbed in at a local A-grade competition in Frankston last night, in this edition of The Conversation Hour we talk the significance of the appearance with Melbourne's basketball community. Also in this edition, how much can Victoria's new chief police commissioner Mike Bush change the culture, what are the best looks at this year's Met Gala and why are some elite athletes been warned against having one night stands.

How many reviews and reports do we need before we accept that we are nowhere near as good at emergency and disaster management as we think we are here in New Zealand? I reckon we'll never admit it. But we should. In fact, we shouldn't just admit that we're not as good as we think - we should also be looking at some major structural change. Not just more of the tinkering around the edges that the Government is talking about today. We need to accept we're pretty average; we need to accept that we're a tiny country; we need to accept that, when it comes down to it, the military is the best outfit to be running our disaster response and we should be merging our civil defence and military defence functions. The Government has announced a big overhaul of emergency and disaster management after recent reports showed just how woeful things are in this department. Particularly after what happened during and after Cyclone Gabrielle last year. You might remember back in March this year when Mike Bush —who used to be the Police Commissioner— released his report on his review of the Civil Defence response to the cyclone. I remember being astounded when he came out and said that Civil Defence wasn't prepared; it hadn't planned for worst case scenarios; and that the national emergency management system was setting people up to fail. It was setting people up to fail. I was astounded because it seemed the country had learned nothing from the experiences during the 2010 and 2011 earthquakes in Canterbury. It was no better prepared in 2023 than it was 12 years earlier. So the Government's taken all that on board and is talking about changing things. As you'd expect, what the Government's talking about is all high-level, strategic stuff. It's saying things like: “We want to build an emergency management system that can continuously improve and become stronger over time”. Which is all great stuff, but the Government's also warning that it might have the money to do it. So here's what I reckon we should be doing: You know how after a disaster the army either turns up to help or people call for the army to be sent in? I think the army or our defence force (even though it's way under-resourced in a lot of areas itself) should be doing the planning and the leading during times of disaster. I heard Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell on Newstalk ZB listing all the people involved in emergency management in this country. Which tells me there are just too many cooks in the kitchen. And that's the nub of why we seem to be getting no better at disaster planning, disaster response, and disaster management. From my experience, there are a lot of moustaches involved. A lot of testosterone, and a lot of egos. You don't get that in the military. There are hierarchies that people operate under in the defence force. In normal times and during times of disaster. The military has communication functions and capabilities that no local council is ever going to have. It does plan for worst case scenarios. It does all the things our disaster and emergency management people haven't been doing and have been called-out for not doing it. Not just in Mike Bush's report, but others as well. And that's why I'm more convinced than ever that, instead of pouring more time and money into a standalone civil defence system —one the Government itself is saying today needs to improve, but is also saying that there might not be the money to do it— that's why I think we should be merging our civil defence and military defence functions. Or, to put it another way: I think we should be bringing the army in well before disaster strikes. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Bruce Cotterill: Leaders Getting Coffee – Episode 17 – With Mike Bush In Leaders Getting Coffee episode 17, our guest is former Police Commissioner, Mike Bush. Mike Bush joined the Police at the age of 18 and stayed for 42 years. He spent six years in the top job before retiring in 2020. Over recent years we've seen crime on the increase, particularly that perpetuated by younger people. Mike talks with Bruce about the growing crime problems in New Zealand, the challenges of dealing with imported crime that comes with immigration, and the war on drugs and gangs. He offers an interesting perspective on the challenges in dealing with young offenders, and how so called “boot camp” policies can be amended in order to become more effective for the young people who have much to gain from such programmes. There is also an interesting discussion about the much maligned Oranga Tamariki, and the challenges faced by the young people who come into contact with that organisation as well as those whose job is to try to help them. And we learn about policing as a career, one which Mike Bush would highly recommend to any young person thinking about an alternative to a university education or a trade. Episode 17 of Leaders Getting Coffee provides another unique leadership story. A story about a young man from Rotorua, who wanted to be a cop.

The independent review of Hawke's Bay's Civil Defence response to Cyclone Gabriel has been completed and it is damning. Former Police Commissioner Mike Bush conducted the investigation and released the findings yesterday.    MB: You know, there's a lot of experts out there, a lot of people who do know how this should be done, and I think all those people stand ready to provide advice and support. One of the things we said in the report was the current national model and the way it works in with regional/local does set good people up to fail. So, we've, we've got to look after those people, but the resources and the capability and experiences out there, what we've got to do is have a model that actually leverages all that, coordinates that, and gets it in as soon as possible.    So, there are good people and they are set up to fail. Basically, the review found the region was not well prepared for a natural disaster of this scale. Would anyone have been prepared for that? Unlikely, but basically the review said you have to plan for the worst-case scenario. It was unlikely it would have been on that scale. It did occur on that scale, and thus the worst-case scenario should have been planned for.   It found the severity, speed and scale of the disaster overwhelmed the officials involved in the response. They thought that they knew how to do Civil Defence because they'd been through Covid-19. This natural disaster was nothing like Covid-19. They had no idea what to do.   It's not just Hawke's Bay though. Mike Bush found the National Emergency Management system is not currently fit for purpose, so we should all be concerned. He said a complete overhaul of the system is needed. That's something that's been recommended for years. And Hawke's Bay Civil Defence said they absolutely accepted the findings and were ready to do a complete overhaul of the system. Although having heard the train wreck of an interview on Heather's show last night with Hinewai Ormsby, who's the chair of Hawkes Bay Civil Defence Emergency Management's joint committee, I do wonder how effective that overhaul is going to be.    HO: So, the recommendations from today, we agreed, and we added them. That we'd get an independent implementation team and leadership team, to be able to take these recommendations.  HDPA: I'm asking you this question because I'm slightly alarmed that you don't know the details.  HO: Well, no, we're fully committed to the recommendations and implementing change.    I mean Hinewai Ormsby may well be a very effective human, but when it comes to communicating, she had a bad attack of the Costers, and I had absolutely no idea what she was talking about in the bureaucratic speak. None. And surely in a crisis, clear communication is absolutely vital. If you've got a bad attack of bureaucratese, it's going to be very tricky to get information out and get information out quickly and expeditiously.  Nonetheless, they have said that they will implement the findings, but when you're being let down by the national civil defence structure, which is not fit for purpose, how effective are you going to be? The National Emergency Management Agency has not yet released its review into the weather events of last year - that is due out in December, and that will probably make for more grim reading.   The review of Hawke's Bay's response also pointed to a number of precautionary measures that may have mitigated some of the damage. The dredging to remove excess shingle, the managing of forestry slash, the flood protection maintenance, all of which a number of you callers and texters said needed to be done. Yet you'd said it before Cyclone Gabrielle, and you certainly said it afterwards. These were things that you had pointed to, and when you look at Auckland's floods, a number of people pointed to the fact the drains hadn't been maintained and cleared that they quickly became blocked, causing tiny rivulets to become rivers.   So, there is much that can be done in terms of prevention, in terms of maintenance, and then in terms of the response to the emergency. But when it comes to civil defence emergencies, how prepared are you? Because I think it also shows that ultimately, we are on our own. And when I say ‘we', I talk about as small communities, as neighbourhoods, helping each other out. It may be very, very difficult for other people to get to you, and we learnt that from Christchurch, and we've learnt that from a number of natural disasters. That the advice is always to be prepared for two to three days of managing on your own. And to be perfectly honest, having heard just how fundamentally unsound, the national system is.   To hear the word soup from the chair of the civil defence response unit in Hawke's Bay, are we better off coming up with a neighbourhood plan and relying on each other? Yes, Civil Defence is there. Yes, there are very good people there who are being let down by the management of the system. But ultimately, I think surely the lessons we've learned from numerous emergencies that the country has experienced is that for the first 24 hours to 48 hours, we are on our own.   So how prepared do you think you are? Were you all Gung Ho after Christchurch, as I was, with the first aid kit, with the water, with the tin cans, with the disinfectants, with the water purification? And now that's all out of date and needs to be biffed out. Other people relying on other people in a natural disaster, other people are busy digging themselves out too, and their families.   So how prepared are you? How much should be on a national emergency disaster response team? And how much should we be looking after ourselves? See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Some Hawkes Bay residents doubt whether a scathing report about the Cyclone Gabrielle emergency response will change anything. An independent review led by former police commissioner Mike Bush found Civil Defence officials were not prepared for the disaster, and were overwhelmed by its severity, speed and scale. They were overconfident about their ability to cope and took a best case scenario approach rather than preparing for the worst. He also says the national emergency management system is not currently fit for purpose and sets up good people to fail.

A review of Hawke's Bay's Civil Defence response to Cyclone Gabrielle has found emergency leaders were overconfident about their readiness for a disaster and didn't plan for the worst-case scenario. The independent review headed up by former police commissioner Mike Bush also found the team was not adequately resourced, leading to confusion and burnout. And it says the national emergency management system is not fit for purpose and needs a complete overhaul. Independent review lead Mike Bush spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

There are concerns that Civil Defence isn't adequately prepared for emergencies, after failings were revealed in the response to Cyclone Gabrielle.  An independent review led by former Police Commissioner Mike Bush found officials were "overwhelmed" by the disaster.  Bush told Mike Hosking that the system is not fit for purpose.  He says the current model sets good people up to fail, and changes are needed.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I am astounded by what's come out of this review into how well-prepared Civil Defence was prior to Cyclone Gabrielle and its immediate emergency response.  It wasn't well prepared at all, it seems. And the worst-case scenario was not planned for.  How many years is it since the earthquakes in Canterbury? Thirteen years since February 22nd. Longer since the September quake.  And here we are in 2024, and Mike Bush —who led an independent review into the Civil Defence response to the cyclone in Hawke's Bay— has found that the National Emergency Management System sets-up good people to fail.  You know that phrase: “When will we learn?” It seems we are incapable of that. Because, back in 2010 and 2011, the country had so many opportunities to learn.  Who knows how many academics and experts were poking their nose into Christchurch, wanting to interview people and find out their experience and their “learnings”.  After 2010 and 2011, it was going to be the big opportunity to make sure we set ourselves up to deal with major disasters and Canterbury was going to be the learning ground. But it seems we've learned nothing, because Mike Bush said as much yesterday.  Here's another thing he said: “We see the critical lessons for the future that can be drawn from this event falling into two broad narratives.   “One should inform improvements at local and regional levels. The other speaks to the need for new investment in enhanced national coordination, assurance, consistency and depth of professional leadership in response to emergencies.”   Thirteen years on from the country's biggest natural disaster and we're being told that our national emergency management system isn't up to it, it needs more investment to bring it up to scratch, and it sets people up to fail.  Astounding, don't you think?  I had suspicions that we hadn't learned a thing before all this came out, when I saw people after the cyclone saying they'd been let down by their insurance companies and EQC.  Now we're hearing that the system designed to co-ordinate responses to national emergencies is a dud.  Funnily enough, I was going through Christchurch's CBD just the other day and I looked at all the building work still going on and I thought back to how people responded that day back in 2011. How Civil Defence and council people set themselves up in the art gallery building. And they were there for weeks.  How, in the chaos of the moment, they didn't put themselves first. They put their city and its people first. And you would think, wouldn't you, that if we were to get some good out of all that - it would be making sure that people all around the country who might find themselves in the same boat one day, didn't have to pretty much start from scratch like our responders had to.  But no. Mike Bush has looked into it. And it seems we —as a country— are no better prepared for major disasters than we were thirteen and fourteen years ago, when disaster struck for those of us here in Canterbury.  And it astounds me. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Yet another Oranga Tamariki review- this time, of youth justice and care residences. The report led by Mike Bush suggests high-level change to make residences safer for young people and staff. In it, staff say they're too bureaucratic, short on beds, and there are too many band-aid fixes. Bush says he's aware there's 'review fatigue'. "They are swimming in recommendations and have been for many years.

Revelations the Government didn't follow advice to shut down a South Auckland youth justice residence, Korowai Manaaki. Former police commissioner Mike Bush's probe last year claims it was a 'near-miracle' no-one's been killed or seriously hurt. Stuff reports it also mentions the 'under-qualified' workforce can't deal with the teens there. A roof stand-off with youngsters in June was ended with KFC handouts. Youth worker Aaron Hendry says their needs should be prioritised. "The Government has a parental responsibility over the children they take into their care, and it needs to ensure that it is providing the right and adequate support to look after those young people. And time and time again, that is just not happening." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

An advocate for children in care says the latest incidents facing Oranga Tamariki point to wider issues within the agency. Children's Minister Kelvin Davis says four staff have been stood down for allowing an MMA-style fight between two young men, and the agency is also dealing with another similar incident in a similar way. It comes days after youths spent the night on the roof of youth justice facilities in Auckland and Christchurch, and comes weeks after two staff were stood down over sexual misconduct allegations. VOYCE Chief Executive Tracey Shipton told Tim Dower it may be the tip of an iceberg. Independent chief executive Mike Bush is carrying out a "rapid review" of the agency.

Fresh questions this morning have come about how deep the problems run at Oranga Tamariki - and how long they've been going on for. The agency has stood down four staff for allowing an MMA-style fight between two young men and has also been dealing with another similar incident in a similar way. Its also dealing with incidents of youths escaping onto the roofs of youth justice facilities, and has stood down two staff over sexual misconduct allegations. Senior Cabinet Minister Grant Robertson told Tim Dower the issues aren't new, but a rapid review by independent chief executive Mike Bush should be flushed out. National's Police Spokesman Mark Mitchell insists the facilities were run better when National was in charge. LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Two separate investigations are underway into alleged inappropriate sexual behaviour by Oranga Tamariki staff at their youth justice facilities. The child protection agency has described the behaviour toward young people at its residences as serious and unacceptable and says two staff have been removed. Oranga Tamariki Chief Executive Chappie Te Kani says his own staff raised the alarm. A police investigation has been launched and from Friday former Police Commissioner, Mike Bush will be in charge of all Oranga Tamariki Youth Justice, Care and Protection residences . He'll also complete a two month review to determine if there are more wide spread issues. Joining us now is the Children's Commissioner Judge Frances Eivers.

A youth advocacy group says allegations of sexual misconduct in government care reinforce the need for a complete redesign of the system. Two staff at separate Oranga Tamariki have been stood down over the claims, which the child protection agency was made aware of overnight.

As the Auckland Anniversary floods swamped the city, its emergency management and the mayor were out of their depth dealing with the crisis. Minutes mattered, but most of the damage had been done before the incident team had even finished its first meeting, according to a new report by former Police Commissioner Mike Bush. The review concludes that senior leaders did not understand the importance of comunicating with the public during a crisis, that there should have been better advice and support to Mayor Wayne Brown's office, and that key officials knew the city's emergency management system was not fit for purpose. Mike Bush talks to Lisa Owen.

Auckland's mayor Wayne Brown has been called-out for not attending the release on Wednesday of an independent review into the council's handling of the Auckland Anniversary weekend flood. Ironically, in the review, former police commissioner, Mike Bush, highlighted the failure of council leadership to be visible and communicate with the public during the early part of the deluge that hit parts of the city on January 27. The independent review also found the council's emergency management system wasn't prepared and the emergency management team lacked command, crisis leadership skills and operational experience. The report highlighted communication failures and says the mayor should have declared a state of emergency sooner. New Zealand Herald columnist Simon Wilson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

A West Auckland man who saw his home - and the homes of his neighbours - destroyed in the anniversary weekend flood is angry the council knew it wasn't properly prepared for such an event. A scathing review of  Auckland Council's response to the floodswas released yesterday former police commissioner Mike Bush. It found the council's emergency management system was not prepared for an event of the magnitude and speed of the storm. It also says the lack of preparedness was known to key council decision makers in advance, but at the time of the flood it was still a work in progress. The review  found senior leaders under-estimated the need to be visible and communicate with the public and the council's emergency management team lacked command, crisis leadership skills and operational experience. The report says the council should have declared a state of emergency sooner. Anna Sargent reports.   

A highly critical report into the Auckland Anniversary weekend's devastating flood has highlighted multiple failings in the Auckland Council response, from the Mayor down.  An independent review, headed by former Police Commissioner, Mike Bush found the council's emergency management system was not prepared for an event of the magnitude and speed of the storm. The lack of preparedness was known to key council decision makers in advance, but at the time of the flood it was a work in progress. Senior leaders under-estimated the need to be visible and communicate with the public and the council's emergency management team lacked command, crisis leadership skills and operational experience. The report says the council should have declared a state of emergency sooner. Auckland Council Emergency Management and Civil Defence Committee chair and Howick councillor Sharon Stewart spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss. Morning Report asked key players onto the programme this morning - Auckland mayor Wayne Brown, Auckland deputy mayor Desley Simpson, Auckland Council chief executive Jim Stabback, Minister for Auckland Michael Wood, Minister for Emergency Management Kieran McAnulty, and Auckland Emergency Management - all declined to front.   

A report out today on the response to Auckland's Anniversary Weekend floods is critical of Council leaders, mayor Wayne Brown, and the city's emergency management systems. The independent panel led by former Police Commissioner Mike Bush, has found the Council was unprepared for the flooding's magnitude and speed. It also notes Council already knew about gaps in preparedness as far back as 2016. Bush says key Council leaders didn't appreciate the importance of visible leadership and communications. "This was a really fast-moving, rapid, unpredicted event. But the response needed to be better, and that's what our report is focused on."

The former police commissioner, Mike Bush, will lead an inquiry into the official response to last month's flooding in Auckland. Mayor Wayne Brown announced the review on Sunday, two days after he himself apologised for being too slow to be seen, and to act, on January the 27th, when flooding plagued the city. The review will look into the first 48 hours of the response, and has been given an initial budget of $100,000, paid for out of the Mayors' office's budget. Mr Brown and his deputy mayor, Desley Simpson, did not respond to our requests for an interview this morning. The head of the inquiry, Mike Bush, spoke to Guyon Espiner.

Our guest in this week's episode is Mike Bush, head of communications and brand for Next Trucking, a digital freight broker. As automation and robotics continues to impact supply chains, the question remains: Where we will find the technicians and robotic engineers the industry needs to keep the technology running today and advancing to new capabilities tomorrow? Bush talks about his company's involvement with high school robotics competitions and how it helps to encourage the next generation of robotics designers and engineers.As many supply chain companies are seeing record profits, some are investing their gains in other portions of the industry. An example is maritime carrier CMA CGM, which has bought or acquired interest in other freight and logistics firms. Its latest investment is a stake in Air France-KLM. Is this diversification by such a big player a trend others will follow? Supply chain bottlenecks continue to take their toll on the industry, and now experts are predicting another chaotic peak shipping season ahead. What is causing these concerns and how can shippers prepare for the upcoming holiday season while mitigating their risks? DC Velocity's sister publication CSCMP's Supply Chain Quarterly  offers a new podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  Co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals, this series first focuses on an eight-part look at the State of Logistics.

Mike Bush, the former Commissioner of the New Zealand Police, served for more than four decades in law enforcement – starting as an 18-year-old constable, serving as a detective, and promoting up through the ranks of this highly professional and respected organization. The population of New Zealand is roughly five million people. About one in six New Zealanders are of Maori descent – an indigenous Polynesian community – and that community has historically been underserved. Building ties to the Maori community was a priority for Mike, as was recruiting more citizens of Maori descent to the department, so that the New Zealand Police better reflected the diversity of the country.One of the initiatives Mike developed and promoted as Commissioner was something he called “Prevention First” – to change the focus of policing from a model of locking people up to a model of early intervention, designed to prevent crime in the first place. Mike knew that gave his officers more of an opportunity to help people and to keep them safe. The New Zealand Police have long been leaders in community policing. More than half a century ago, the New Zealand Police dropped the word “force” from their name and to this day their officers do not routinely carry firearms. The New Zealand Police have a well-deserved reputation for integrity and decency, and Mike describes their efforts to earn and preserve that reputation and to serve the diverse communities in his country. Though violent crime is relatively rare, Mike investigated some of the biggest and most interesting cases in New Zealand history, including the successful recovery of a five-year-old girl who had been kidnapped, and a cold case investigation of a young murdered woman, solved through ingenious forensic work. And, while posted overseas for part of his career, Mike was a first responder to the 2004 Boxing Day tsunami that struck Thailand – where he was stationed – and many other south east Asian nations, killing almost one quarter of a million people. Mike describes how law enforcement officers from around the world responded to that horrific tragedy.Mike Bush had a fascinating career in the New Zealand Police, ultimately running the service and leading its 13,500 men and women. He helped transform policing in his nation, and is widely regarded as a visionary law enforcement professional.If you have thoughtful feedback on this episode or others, please email us at theoathpodcast@gmail.com.Find the transcript and all our previous episodes at MSNBC.com/TheOath
