You do not have to go back very far to find a news story about a New Zealand Prime Minister having his or her trip disrupted by a shonky 757. The Prime Minister's trip to Japan, with an accompanying trade delegation, was disrupted over the weekend after the Air Force 757 broke down, again. And it was this time last year, to within a week, that the plane ferrying Chris Hipkins to China set off on its flight with a backup plane flying in reserve, in case the first one broke down. Remember that? ACT leader David Seymour said, at the time, the extra emissions were the equivalent of driving a Ford Ranger the distance of a trip to the moon three times. I don't know if that's accurate, might have been hyperbole, but knowing David Seymour, he would have crunched the numbers and done the sums. But it was literally this time last year that Chris Hipkins set off to China with a backup plane. Which was needed. Former prime ministers Dame Jacinda Ardern, Sir John Key - they've also become stuck when they were flying around the world after 757's and the Hercules aircraft broke down. In 2022, Ardern was left stranded in Antarctica overnight after the Herc broke down and she managed to hitchhike home on an Italian plane from McMurdo Sound travelling to Christchurch. A 757 broke down on Ardern's official visit to the US in June 2023, while she also took a commercial flight home from Melbourne in 2019 after another engineering issue. The then Defence Minister Peeni Henare and a 30 strong delegation were stuck in the Solomons in August 2022. In 2019, former Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters needed that second RNZAF plane to pick him up after breaking down in Vanuatu. And a trade mission to India, headed by Key in 2016, was cut short after a 757 was grounded in Townsville, forcing the Prime Minister and his entourage to stay the night in far North Queensland while they waited for the AA or the aviation equivalent of the AA. “We've broken down. We're stuck on the side of the road. Can you come and get us? Sure. Give us 24. We'll be there.” I mean, seriously. The miracle is that anybody gets into the bloody things. Would you? I mean, bless the RNZAF engineers for getting the dear old girls up off the ground and into the air again. But holy heck, it's all bound together with gaffer tape and rubber bands and #8 wire and the like. When Chris Luxon was opposition leader, he criticised Chris Hipkins' use of a backup plane on environmental grounds - and also said it speaks to concerns about the reliability of those aircraft breaking down as we've seen in past times.  Well he might be singing another song entirely after this. And this was after saying to Mike only last Tuesday: ‘ Oh, no, I've got every confidence, every confidence.' Wrong. So back in 2023, when we were talking about Hipkins' trip to China and taking two planes just in case, Chris Hipkins office came back to us last year and said using RNZAF aircraft is cheaper than a commercial charter and has other benefits such as security assurance, and the ability to travel point to point to reduce time away from home and additional costs such as hotels which would be required if there were stopovers. Well, I think we can pretty much rule out the cost factor, can't we? Using an RNZAF charter does not appear to be cheaper - and there have been numerous instances where it hasn't been cheaper, where they've needed either two planes to fly or they've needed to get in commercial charters or you've had to say to your Italian mates - 'can I please get a lift back to New Zealand?' I mean, how embarrassing. So I think we can rule out the cost factor. Let's just take a chartered aircraft that can get from point A to point B. I'm just stunned anyone gets on them. The other point they made was that the 757s are around 30 years old and nearing the end of their economic lives and due for replacement between 2028 and 2030. Bring it forward. They've got to be replaced anyway. I get that no Government wants to be the one that signs the cheque for a new aircraft, but if it's an Air Force aircraft that's going to be used for humanitarian work, if it's going to be used to police our economic zone, if it's going to be ferrying trade delegations, do you really have a problem with us moving forward the purchase date of an aircraft that we're going to have to buy anyway? It's not like it's going to be Air Force One kitted out only for the President with whale scrotum skin bar stools and like Aristotle Onassis had on his yacht. We're not talking plush Penthouse for Daddy kind of fit out, are we? We're talking about a utilitarian aircraft that comes under the auspices of the RNZAF, that the Prime Minister can then get into with a trade delegation and safely go from point A to B point B. I don't think that's unreasonable. Yeah, they're due to be replaced between ‘28 and ‘30. It's 2024. Bring it forward a bit, because it is not cost effective flying in a lemon. It's unsafe flying in a lemon. You don't want to be budging on your mates when you're stuck in Antarctica or Australia. These trips are important. God, no wonder Nanaia Mahuta stayed home. Looking at this aircraft - would you really want to park your buns on that and buckle-up? Not really, no. Just bite the bullet. We're just going to have to do it. It's a necessary expense.

New Zealanders could soon find it easier to travel to China after yesterday's bilateral meeting between Christopher Luxon and Li Qiang.  It was the first meeting of a New Zealand Prime Minister and Chinese Premier on New Zealand soil since 2017.  Li Qiang has agreed to extend China's unilateral visa-free treatment to New Zealand, following similar agreements with other countries, and says his country also stands ready to offer infrastructure funding.  Asia Business Correspondent Peter Lewis told Heather du Plessis Allan “The Chinese state media is focusing on the trade aspects – this is being presented as a trade visit.”  LISTEN ABOVE. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon landed in Singapore late last night, the first stop of a week-long trip to South-East Asia. Luxon is also visiting Thailand - the first visit from a New Zealand Prime Minister in 11 years, and the Phillipines - the first visit in 14 years. Newstalk ZB's senior political reporter Sophie Trigger joined Wellington Mornings host Nick Mills, where they also talked Winston Peters' overseas visit and a split of the coalition government over a Green MP's member's bill.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon says the public service has responded “fairly well” to the new government.  Newstalk ZB's Mike Hosking asked him this morning whether officials were giving the Government some “pushback” - pointing to changes to disability support funding and a proposal to shutter the Suicide Prevention Office, both of which appeared to blindside government ministers.  Luxon said ministers had been inadequately briefed but it had been cleared up.  He said to be fair to the public service, they had been “very poorly led” for the past six years.  ”Then they go off and do stuff, and often they do the wrong things because they get busy and they do lots of things but the things don't add up.  ”That was the reason for bringing in the nine public service targets - because they were things that mattered to him, and to Kiwis - such as healthcare and education.  ”The bit that I can control is I've got to make sure that my ministers are being crystal clear about their priorities with those agencies.”  Luxon said job layoffs, where many people would be getting voluntary redundancy, were a “perfectly reasonable approach” for CEOs to find the savings the Government is asking for.  Luxon yesterday announced nine new public service targets that the Coalition Government has set.  Surgery wait times, student achievement, less crime and big reductions in welfare and emergency housing numbers are all part of Luxon's new public service targets to be delivered by 2030.  The Prime Minister released them yesterday during his post-Cabinet press conference, saying they will require the public sector to think differently and do deep dives into the root causes of key issues.  “These targets are not going to be easy to achieve,” Luxon said yesterday.  “But we're not here to do what is easy - we're here to do what is needed to reduce crime, shorten healthcare wait times and improve educational achievement, no matter how difficult.”  The nine targets are:  -Shorter stays in emergency departments: 95 per cent of patients to be admitted, discharged, or transferred from an emergency department within six hours. This was almost at target level in early 2015, when 93 per cent patients were seen within six hours.  -Shorter wait times for (elective) treatment: 95 per cent of people wait less than four months for elective treatment. This was at target target level in 2015 and 2016.  -Reduced child and youth offending: 15 per cent reduction in the total number of children and young people with serious and persistent offending behaviour. This would see the number fall from its current level of about 1100 to about 900 children and young people.  -Reduced violent crime: 20,000 fewer people who are victims of an assault, robbery, or sexual assault. This will be measured in the New Zealand Crime and Victims' Survey, and would be an 11 per cent drop from 2023 levels.  -Fewer people on the Jobseeker Support Benefit: 50,000 fewer people on Jobseeker Support Benefit. This would see the number fall by more than a quarter, from about 190,000 in December last year.  -Increased student attendance: 80 per cent of students are present for more than 90 per cent of the term. This coincides with the Government releasing its plan to reduce truancy, expected later this week.  -More students at expected curriculum levels: 80 per cent of Year 8 students at or above the expected curriculum level for their age in reading, writing and maths by December 2030. Only one cohort is at the target levels, which currently are: maths (82 per cent in Year 4 and 42 per cent in Year 8), writing (63 per cent and 35 per cent) and reading (63 per cent and 56 per cent).  -Fewer people in emergency housing: 75 per cent reduction of households in emergency housing. This would reduce the number of households using emergency housing to early 2018 levels. The number had ballooned in December 2023 to 3100 households and 3186 children in emergency housing; 60 per cent had been there for over 12 weeks.  -Reduced net greenhouse gas emissions: On track to meet New Zealand's 2050 net zero climate change targets, with total net emissions of no more than 290 megatonnes from 2022 to 2025 and 305 megatonnes from 2026 to 2030.  Prime Minister Christopher Luxon speaks to media at the weekly post-Cabinet press conference at Parliament in Wellington. April 8, 2024. Photo / Mark Mitchell  Luxon said he had scrapped former PM Jacinda Ardern's Implementation Unit in the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet, and would instead set up a delivery unit, which would keep a tight eye on the nine goals. That would include assessing whether various programmes were actually working, and pulling the pin on them if they were not.  He referenced comments about his CEO approach to the Prime Minister's job: “I make no apologies for that, because it hasn't worked for us having the career politicians for the last six years.”  Asked where those who would no longer be in emergency housing would go, Luxon said yesterday there would be an increase in state and social housing, while increasing the supply of housing in general.  The targets come as the Government looks to find 6.5 to 7.5 per cent savings across government agencies and departments, a move that critics say will have downstream impacts on frontline services despite what Luxon has said about those being protected.    PM's Asia visit and public sector job cuts  Luxon also announced yesterday that he will travel to Singapore, Thailand and the Philippines next week, along with a senior business delegation, Minister of Climate Change and Revenue Simon Watts, and Paulo Garcia, New Zealand's first Filipino Member of Parliament.  This trip was undoubtedly in mind when Luxon released his quarterly action plan last week, which included an item to “raise the energy” with respect to international engagements including in South East Asia.  His visit to Thailand will be the first dedicated visit by a New Zealand Prime Minister since 2013, while the visit to the Philippines will be the first in 14 years.  “South East Asia is a region that is more crucial than ever to our prosperity and our security. I look forward to meeting my counterparts and seeing firsthand what more we can do to deepen our relationships,” Luxon said.  Luxon said 10 per cent of New Zealand exports went to SE Asia, valued at $9.1b, and the region's economy was increasing faster than just about anywhere in the world.  This week MPs return to Parliament after a one week recess to begin an unusual one week sitting block. It is the first sitting block since the Government announced its first quarterly plan last week, meaning we should see some legislation introduced to deliver on those plans.  Cabinet meetings are expected to be contentious this month, as ministers finalise the Budget due for delivery in May. Luxon is meant is likely to face questions on what is in the Budget and the extent to which public sector cuts are needed to pay for his tax plan.  Yeterday, the Ministry for the Environment became the latest department to announce cost-saving measures.  Staff were told redundancies are “likely” as agencies rush to fund savings, which the Government hopes to turn into a saving of $1.5 billion a year.   Agencies are tasked with finding savings between 6.5 and 7.5 per cent to trim off their budgets, which, at numerous ministries, is resulting in proposals putting jobs on the line. The Environment Ministry needs to slash 7.5 per cent from certain lines of funding, with final sign-off to be made by the Government in relation to the upcoming Budget next month.  A voluntary redundancy scheme has opened at the Ministry, with no set target for uptake.  Luxon is also likely to give his view on immigration changes announced over the weekend. Immigration Minister Erica Stanford made immediate changes to the Accredited Employer Worker Visa, to respond to what the Government called unsustainable levels of inward migration.   In 2023, a near-record 173,000 non-New Zealand citizens migrated to the country.  The changes to the work visa scheme include introducing an English-language requirement for migrants applying for low-skilled jobs.  Stanford said the changes focus on using the local labour market first, while still attracting high-skilled migrants where there are skill shortages.  “Getting our immigration settings right is critical to this Government's plan to rebuild the economy,” she said on Sunday in a statement. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A senior Cook Islands politician says the absence of a New Zealand Prime Minister at the Pacific Islands Forum this week is unlikely to be seen as a snub. Outgoing deputy Prime Minister Carmel Sepuloni will represent the caretaker government, while Christopher Luxon is sending his foreign affairs spokesperson. Political reporter Giles Dexter has more.

It was an anti-climactic end to the NATO summit for the Prime Minister, after he had to bail out on his planned bi-lateral with the Ukrainian President - as they ran out of time. Chris Hipkins was scheduled to meet Volodomyr Zelensky as the Lithuania summit wrapped up. But after two days of diplomatic positioning and at times tense negotiations between NATO and Ukraine, a meeting between US President Joe Biden and Mr Zelensky ran long, leaving no time to meet with the New Zealand Prime Minister. But they did bump into each other as Mr Hipkins was leaving the venue. Our political editor Jane Patterson spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss from Vilnius.

Chris Hipkins has arrived in Beijing ahead of a number of high level political meetings, fraught with diplomatic challenges. It's been four years since the last visit from a New Zealand Prime Minister and both sides say they are keen to resume face to face meetings. Amid the global turmoil, China's ambassador to New Zealand Wang Xiaolong, says the relationship is as good as it's even been. He told our political editor, Jane Patterson, there is room for discussion of sensitive issues, within limits.

We're excited to bring you our first show for 2023. Our guest today is a topical choice given the recent surprise announcement by New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, that she was stepping down. Topical because we're speaking with another female political trailblazer.The Honourable Nicola Roxon was elected to Australia's Federal Parliament at the age of just 31. She became Australia's Health Minister for 4 years and then the country's first Attorney General. After 15 years in politics she decided it was time for a change and she now has a portfolio of board roles as director and Chair. In this episode you'll hear: How a High Court Judge joked Nicola may cause a constitutional crisis when, as a young Associate, Nicola shared her plans for her next career stepHow Nicola handled and navigated the cut and (sometimes brutal) thrust of politics without taking things personallyAbout the world leading health initiative she introduced that's been copied around the world and received special recognition from the World Health Organisation; and How Nicola made the transition from politics to corporate boards after 15 years in Parliament. We think you'll glean lots of useful nuggets from this conversation with the thoughtful and purposeful Nicola Roxon.

The US has spent billions and billions so far in Ukraine, but future government spending is all up in the air right now – not just over Ukraine, but also at home, as America has now reached its debt limit and risks a potentially catastrophic default. Social security payments, veteran's pensions, and more are all at risk. Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen says “extraordinary measures” are now in use to delay default, and she's calling on lawmakers to “act promptly” to protect the full faith and credit of the United States. Yellen met this week with China's vice premier in Zurich, before traveling to Africa, where she is hoping to expand US trade there. Christiane speaks with Yellen about all of this in an exclusive interview.  Also on today's show: Dr. Henry Marsh, Author, And Finally; Karen Bass, Los Angeles Mayor; Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister (archived interview). To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

In this week's episode of Culture by Design, Timothy R. Clark is joined by Nelson Derry, Global Head of Culture, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion at Aesop. Nelson's inspiring upbringing and the depth of his career experience have shaped his worldview and taught him valuable lessons.

Sexist reporter mic-dropped by New Zealand PM at presser between two young female Prime Ministers: Jacinda Ardern, New Zealand Prime Minister, embarrassed a reporter for his sexist remark at a presser between her and the young female Finland Prime Minister Sanna Marin, a mic-drop moment. Experts Warn ‘Doomsday Scenario' for Colorado River Basin Possible in 2023: “The problem with massive projects like Lake Powell and the Glen Canyon Dam,” said one climate journalist, “is they were engineered for a climate that no longer exists.” The catastrophic chain of events that water and power authorities are working to prepare for amid the desertification of the Colorado River basin would amount to a “complete doomsday scenario,” harming water and electricity supplies for millions, according to new reporting from The Washington Post. With Senate Vote, Congress Moves to Avert Rail Strike: Bipartisan coalitions in the House and Senate pushed through a bill that would impose an agreement between rail companies and their workers. WASHINGTON — The Senate on Thursday voted overwhelmingly to impose a labor agreement between rail companies and their workers who have been locked in a stubborn stalemate, moving with uncommon speed to avert a potential holiday season rail strike that would jeopardize shipping across the country. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/politicsdoneright/support

New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is determined to stop the spread of extremism and radicalization online. In the aftermath of the 2019 terrorist attack on two mosques in Christchurch, she saw the livestream of the tragedy go viral across social media feeds, including her own. In response, she led the creation of the Christchurch Call, a commitment by governments and tech companies to eliminate terrorist and violent extremist content online. In this episode, Brad and Prime Minister Ardern discuss the Christchurch Call, how algorithms fan the flames of extremism and the need to address misinformation to create a stronger, more connected society.Since being elected Prime Minister of New Zealand in 2017, Jacinda Ardern has placed wellbeing at heart of her Government's work. Along with holding the Child Poverty Reduction portfolio, she has championed efforts to tackle long-term challenges like climate change, social inequality, and unaffordable housing. She entered Parliament in 2008 as a list MP, and was later elected to represent the Mount Albert electorate. During this time, she was responsible for a wide range of policy areas, including Social Development, Arts, Culture and Heritage, Children, Justice, and Small Business. Throughout her career, she has been a strong advocate for children, women, and the right to meaningful work.Click here for the episode transcript.

When Jacinda Ardern and Joe Biden sat down, one subject was totally inevitable.Touring the U.S in the wake of its latest massacre(s), the New Zealand Prime Minister was asked by almost every politician or late night TV host about gun reform. As far as they were concerned, March 15th happened and within days her government acted. Almost immediately she took steps to get military style semi-automatic off the streets. To many Americans it was the sort of common sense policy-making that seems desperately distant in the United States of Mass Shootings.Of course, the real story was more complex than that. At the same time as Ardern was being celebrated by the American left as a heroic bastion of gun reform, Auckland recorded yet another worrying series of public shootings. Police have arrested nineteen gang members for firearms and drug offences in relation to the incidents, but over the last few weeks it has felt like only a matter of time before someone innocent ends up catching a bullet.In one sense, this spike in gun crime isn't an aberration: 2021 had the highest number of firearms offences in at least the last 15 years. But the events of the last few weeks represent the crossover between two intertwined problems: gangs and guns.We don't know with certainty exactly what guns have been used for each of the different public shooting incidents of the last few weeks. A shooting in Beach Haven last night appeared to involve a shotgun, which can obviously be legally purchased. But critics see the headlines of the last few weeks as evidence Jacinda Ardern's gun buyback scheme was a failure: If the buyback had worked, we wouldn't be having shootings.I agreed with the critique of the ACT Party at the time the buyback was announced - gangs and criminals were never going to voluntarily hand in their weapons at the local cop shop. Can you imagine?!But the criticism also misses a fundamental point. The buyback was never likely to have a massive impact on gun crime in the short term. Outside of hopefully preventing possible massacres in the future, the real benefit of the gun buyback scheme will be realised over time, when gangs and criminals can no longer steal weapons that have been legally purchased by law-abiding gun owners. Previously it wasn't difficult to continuously supply a black market with military-style rifles. And with no gun register, it was impossible to track anything.But now, the source has dried up. Gangs will have to rely on their current caches, legal firearms, or on smuggling illegal weapons into New Zealand. Even though the buyback scheme meant law-abiding citizens were stripped of their military-style semi-automatics, ultimately it should also restrict the supply of those weapons to those with illicit intentions.This is little comfort right now, especially for the communities in which gang-related gun violence in most prevalent. So what more can we do? ACT might have opposed the gun buyback scheme, but the party also wants a different law change to help with the current violence: If a lawful Police search discovers an illegal operation, a gang member, and an illegal gun, the crown would be apply to fast-track the seizure of assets.This is not a silly idea.LISTEN ABOVE

It's been months of planning, and at times seemed like it would never happen. But today Jacinda Ardern sat down with the US President in the Oval Office - just the third time a New Zealand Prime Minister has visited in two decades. This trip has been a constant reminder the Covid pandemic is far from over, causing disruption from start to finish. RNZ political editor Jane Patterson has the story from Washington DC.  

Today we're joined by our own Kathy Novak, who's reporting for KCBS Radio on New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern's visit to San Francisco that was hosted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. For more on what the Prime Minister had to say, KCBS Radio news anchors Patti Reisig and Jeff Bell spoke with KCBS Radio reporter Kathy Novak. 

Jacinda Ardern is meeting US President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris on Tuesday in the US.It's only the third-such formal invitation a New Zealand Prime Minister has had from the White House in the past 20 years.Former Prime Minister Sir John Key visited the White House twice in his time.He told Heather du Plessis Allan it's great Ardern will get the opportunity.“They're always important in terms of relationship building, but I'd be very surprised if they come out with any sort of immediate deliverable.”LISTEN ABOVE

The former president and VP are engaged in a high-profile battle over the Georgia gubernatorial race in what many see as a prelude to the 2024 presidential primary, and the world's richest man took to Twitter to make light of allegations that he acted inappropriately towards a woman on his private plane. And New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern outlines what her country's government did to enact sensible gun control after a terrible mass shooting in Christchurch.

Well, as we've heard reported this morning, the subject of China's growing influence in the Indo-Pacific has hovered above Jacinda Ardern's discussions with her Japanese counterpart Fumio Kishida in Tokyo. The two countries are set to negotiate an agreement that would see them share more information on international security issues. The New Zealand Prime Minister has spoken recently about China's "gravely concerning" draft security agreement with Solomon Islands. Democracy Project international analyst Geoffrey Miller has been following the changing security map. He spoke to Māni Dunlop.

Herschel is...........definitely not fucking my couch. The Lyft Driver does sound like Dave Chappelle tho. Born in North Side, Lincoln Park area of Chicago, he broke his neck playing wide receiver in high school, and found that it didn't hurt his dating game. Fast forward to today, he now invests in paper. Day trading the Asian Markets at night, Herschel learnt some secrets working at the Chicago Board & Trade, and now lives a fire life, driving Lyft, trading stocks, and appreciating the great characters of this universe, like New Zealand Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, and Kanye West. If you a Mom, or under 15, maybe put earmuffs on. If not, listen to truth, served chili hot.

Economist Diane Coyle is the Bennett Professor of Public Policy, Cambridge University. She co-directs the Bennett Institute, where she heads research under the themes of progress and productivity. Her work has touched innovation, technology and intangibles; sustainability, inequality and measuring beyond GDP. We discuss the challenges of the current narrowness in economics both in terms of the diversity of people it attracts and the paucity of wider ranging interdisciplinary thinking. Diane's 1997 book (The Weightless World) was prescient over many technology, innovation and intangibles trends but sustainability was a missing hole. We discuss sustainability and what she felt she missed and what she had right. Diane critiques degrowth ideas while noting the challenges which catalyse that type of thinking. We chat about measurement challenges in an intangible world and how while GDP might have measured more usefully in the past but that in the present it misses many areas of value. In passing, Diane critiques happiness indices and elements of the human development index. We address the UK's productivity challenges (but don't expect we have solved it?!) and conclude it is not only a measurement challenge. We discuss inequality and “superstar earners” across all sectors and possible solutions. Diane over-rates / under-rates: Universal Basic Income, a Job guarantee policy, Industrial Policy, Arrow's impossibility theorem, running the economy hot; and the New Zealand Prime Minister. We discuss minimum wage and tax policy. Win-win investment ideas and end with what a productive day looks like and advice for would-be economists. Transcript and Video available here.
