The All Blacks chase a fifth Grand Slam while the Black Caps test their T20 World Cup form against the West Indies, and the Silver Ferns look to move past the Noeline Taurua saga. 

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. NZ Inc.: 7/10 A good week. Building consents, credit demand, house listings – up, up and up. Noeline Taurua: 6/10 Spoke for the first time, but in a way where the knots you are tied up in get in the way of the words. SCOTUS: 2/10 It went about as badly as you might have expected, unless you thought an argument about being a megalomaniac with uncontrollable powers was going to fly. Sir David Beckham: 8/10 He is a story of inspiration and lovely with it. I'm a fanboy. New York: 2/10 Mamdani is likeable and slick. But so was Jacinda. Transmission Gully: 2/10 How can a new road need $32 million worth of repairs, unless you didn't do it properly in the first place? Which then leads to the question - why didn't you do it properly in the first place? LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

One expert has made a suggestion Netball New Zealand could be breaching employer obligations in events, including Noeline Taurua's suspension. The Silver Ferns coach is being reinstated, after being stood down in September over player concerns. She says she still doesn't know why - and and has revealed there was no investigation. Employment expert Max Whitehead says Netball New Zealand shouldn't have acted on this if it couldn't name players or complaints. "The employer has an obligation on good faith and a natural justice to provide her with a name - and what the allegations are." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Silver Ferns head to Scotland for their Northern Tour this week, but they'll be without their veteran coach Noeline Taurua, despite her recent reinstatement. Dame Noeline Taurua was stood down in September after an investigation found "significant issues" in the team environment. She spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

On today's episode, Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joins us for his weekly chat; The number of known measles cases in the country has climbed to 17, with new cases confirmed in Wellington and Auckland over the weekend. The Silver Ferns head to Scotland for their Northern Tour this week, but they'll be without their veteran coach Noeline Taurua, despite her recent reinstatement; And it's Monday, so we cross to Australia to speak to Kerry-Anne Walsh.

The Diamonds have won back the Constellation Cup but it came at a significant cost, when Australian defender Sunday Aryang ruptured her ACL in the final second of the series.The devastating finish meant the celebrations were quite subdued and felt rather hollow.We discuss the highs and lows of the four games, the players that wowed us from both teams and our thoughts on the new format to determine a winner. Noeline Taurua has also been reinstated “effectively immediately” as Silver Ferns head coach but won't be joining her team for the Northern Tour. So what's the go with that?

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. Bill Gates: 8/10 When a disciple of the cause hits pause because he has worked out the hysteria outweighs the reality, he is to be congratulated. Chris Hipkins: 2/10 Sell a tax if you want. But the attack on the Prime Minister and houses is what these guys are really all about - they hate success. The All Blacks: 7/10 Ironically the biggest test is the first. I'm saying 4 from 4 and Merry Christmas. Fonterra: 8/10 A great week to be a dairy farmer and a great week to be a country with dairy farmers. Noeline Taurua: 8/10 The right call got made eventually, but... The Noeline saga: 1/10 We still don't understand what happened, why it's happened and why it got handled the way it did.

Former Silver Ferns selector Gail Parata has rebuked a lack of due process by Netball New Zealand in standing down coach Dame Noeline Taurua and assistant Debbie Fuller. The pair have been sidelined after allegations of an unsafe high performance environment, which remain unresolved. The issues are understood to date back to a Silver Ferns camp in January. Parata resigned as selector last month in a show of support for Taurua, and she told Mike Hosking no formal complaint was lodged. She says there's about 31 people in the Silver Ferns environment, including management and other athletes, and they only spoke to five Silver Ferns and two Junior Silver Ferns. “Why did they not speak to everyone? That's really, really disappointing.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most stories need a hero, and Gail Parata might fit the role in this netball mess. Or is it now a scandal? Gail Parata has resigned as a national netball selector and in doing so has gone out guns blazing and, because of that, has given the rest of us a decent insight into what a shambles the Dame Noeline Taurua story really is. This thing is now weeks old since she got stood down. The story and the incidents go back, apparently, to a camp in summer. Taurua's treatment, writes Parata on social media, sends a chilling message to every coach in the country. The coaching profession's voice has been sidelined. Even the most successful, world class coaches are now dispensable. The very essence of coaching, relationships, trust and lived experience no longer seems to hold weight with those making decisions. She's on a roll at this point, God bless her. Who, she asks, would step into a role now knowing that one complaint, one misinterpretation or one moment taken out of context could end your career? The value of this, quite apart from the fact it's the first time as far as I know we have heard from a so called third party, is that the so-called "third party" seems to infer what we all suspect. This thing got blown out of all proportion. This thing, whatever it is, seems to involve some sort of upset, moaning, whining, fragile, ego-related overreaction to an event at the camp. In other words, some players got huffy over Noeline's approach. So the big question for Netball NZ is just how many casualties do you want? You have star players publicly calling you out and wanting their coach back, you've got lawyers in six minute blocks, and now a selector who clearly feels someone has to break the silence and flush a few truths out. The damage is to Noeline, to the sport, to the selection panel and to coaches generally because the questions raised by Parata are all excellent and, like all the other questions in this stinking mess, require some answers.

Dame Noeline Taurua has been in negotiations with Netball New Zealand today to see whether she'll be able to coach the Silver Ferns again. Taurua and her coaching team were stood down ahead of the Taini Jamison series earlier this month, in what was a bombshell announcement from Netball New Zealand. With the Silver Ferns heading into their next camp on October 6, the clock is ticking to try and find a resolution and break what appears to be a deadlock between Taurua, the Players' Association and Netball New Zealand. Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

Noeline Taurua isn't the first coach to be badly treated. But she might be the most successful and well regarded. Sport is a funny thing, especially nowadays where it seems to want to walk a line between being successful and being modern, or dare I suggest the word "woke"? Last week when reports of players feeling unsafe emerged I didn't even know what they meant by that. "Unsafe" is something that might happen in the dark, in an alley. It's a physical danger thing, as opposed to an emotional state on a court. On a court you can be exhausted, or exhilarated, or furious, or elated. I just can't work out how you are "unsafe". Which in part is the problem. It's an invention or a new derivation of the word. Your “environment” has been interfered with. Even if you accept its new usage it's the sort of thing you might find on a university campus among the angsty. On a sports field or court it has no place. Even less so if that court is at the elite level. Cycling had a horrible time, but that was abuse. Is netball talking about abuse? Does Taurua abuse people? That doesn't seem to be the suggestion. Next problem is the lack of clarity, if not honesty. All reports seem to indicate "unsafe" is code for the coach being old fashioned, demanding high standards and not putting up with slackness. We used to like that approach. That approach was the norm. The only purpose of elite sport is victory. It exists for no other reason than to let a chosen few express themselves in a way where they win and others can piggyback by way of TV licensing and ticket sales. Unless Noeline Taurua has had a personality transformation and they are all wandering around at Netball NZ going "what happened to Noels, man she's changed", which I suspect hasn't happened, then what we are left with is the inescapable conclusion that Taurua is the victim of soft management in a world where every crybaby is “heard” and the ultimate victim, in an irony of irony's, is one of the sport's greatest exponents. She is benched while the woke in the boardroom wreck the national women's sport.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's been quite the week for Netball New Zealand. The walls came crashing in on Wednesday when it was announced that super coach Noeline Taurua was stood down in the shadow of an investigation into the Silver Ferns high performance programme and environment. The statement was as abrupt as it was unexpected. Netball went into a tailspin as the whole sport, from deep inside to the exterior, flailed about trying to make sense of what had just happened. And we couldn't. It was a mess. It was clumsy at best, although negligent would be a better description of the handling of the situation. I will give them this though, the lid was well and truly sealed on this chaos. Short of those deep in the interior of this schism, no one knew, or at least no one leaked anything. Then the can sprang open, and the snake popped out to everyone's shock. I understand that at the heart of this issue is an employment tussle, making it difficult to share details of the rupture, but the lack of any detail surrounding the slow collapse of the relationship between the coach, the players, and the administration, leaves huge holes in the narrative. The executive team should've done better. They've given themselves a black eye. What happens in a vacuum such this? People build their own story. They take loose ends and string them together, creating a macramé mess that ties the sport in knots. There are reckons everywhere. Outrage in some quarters, confusion in others. That the CEO Jenny Wylie was on leave and the chair Matt Whinery was left to face the music created more angst. The whole process was, and still is, being poorly managed. Netball NZ has taken a number of body blows over the past few months, is this the one that will floor the organisation, leaving them prone on the canvas? Only time will tell.

RNZ can reveal Netball New Zealand's shock decision to stand down Silver Ferns coach Noeline Taurua came after several players raised allegations the environment had become "psychologically unsafe". The allegations prompted an independent review, which highlighted "significant issues" within the programme. Taurua is understood to have rejected the findings, prompting a months-long stand-off between the national body and the Silver Ferns coaching staff. Sports correspondent Dana Johannsen spoke to Lisa Owen.

The Silver Ferns coach saga continues, with little to no information being available around what led to Dame Noeline Taurua being stood down from the national side ahead of the Taini Jamison Trophy kicking off next weekend. There is a thought that it stemmed from the 'old school' coaching of Noeline Taurua and that power has shifted and now sits with the athletes. D'Arcy caught up with legendary All Blacks sevens and 'old school' coach Sir Gordon Teitjens to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A telling response as speculation swirls around the standing down of Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua ahead of next week's international series against South Africa. Netball New Zealand claim they've made the decision due to "issues" within the high-performance environment which remain unresolved. When asked by Mike Hosking if the players were boycotting Taurua because she's pushing too hard, Board Chair Matt Whineray paused, before denying the claim. Whineray told Hosking that they have some issues they need to resolve, and they're hopeful they can, but in the meantime, they need to focus on the series against South Africa. Yvette McCausland-Durie has been parachuted in as interim coaching cover. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Former Silver Fern Margaret Foster's hopeful Dame Noeline Taurua can rediscover her mojo in a new chapter for the national side.  Newstalk ZB understands Taurua will be re-appointed as coach this afternoon after Netball New Zealand opened up the position for applications.  The Silver Ferns won the 2019 World Cup under Taurua but failed to make the podium during last year's defence.  Foster told Mike Hosking that Taurua is probably heads and shoulders above everyone else who applied, as long as she comes back with a new idea of what she wants to achieve.  She doesn't think Taurua would've returned if she knew she didn't have the energy or passion to be able to make a real difference.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
