Marsden Point operated as New Zealand’s only oil refinery for nearly 60 years. At its peak in the 80s, it employed around 1700 people – when it was closed in 2022, nearly 240 lost their jobs.

A business spokesperson is encouraging Northland retailers to keep contacting police over smaller crimes. The Northland Chamber of Commerce says business owners across the region aren't calling in shoplifting because they don't think police will turn up. But CEO Leah McKerrow explained that even if officers can't respond - the data still goes into the system. "And while each incidence in its own right feels small, collectively we're starting to get a pattern." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Tonight, on The Panel, Wallace Chapman is joined by panellists Deborah Hart and Andie McCombs. First, a controversial West Coast mine has been declined for the fast track process. Is the legislation working as it should? Then, 90 police officers from outside of Northland will work in the region on a temporary roster as the local frontline struggles with a spate of crime. The Far North Mayor joins the panel.

An "unprecedented" spate of violent crimes coupled with a significant police shortage in Northland means dozens of officers are being sent to the region on rotations to help out. The special staff operation has been running for three months, with about 30 police from other districts being re-deployed to Northland for five weeks at a time to plug the gaps, with no end date in sight. District Commander for Northland, Superintendent Matt Srjoj spoke to Lisa Owen.

Extra police officers are being called to Northland to contend with a squeeze on resources from rising violent crime. In the past three months, 90 officers from across the country have been brought in to work five-week shifts. Northland District Commander Superintendent Matt Shroj says the region saw four homicides in quick succession, which was the tipping point. He told Mike Hosking that the district's been in a much better place with this extra support - but these are busy people, and they have their own areas to get back to.

In this episode of The ROCC Pod, we sit down with Matt Traitses, General Manager, and Chris Downs, HVAC Manager at Cregger Plumbing, Heating, Cooling, and Electrical. With summer in full swing, we focus on home comfort, efficiency, and cost savings through HVAC upgrades and maintenance. Chris breaks down how federal tax credits and utility rebates can save homeowners over $2,000 when replacing outdated systems, thanks to incentives like $600 tax credits for furnaces and air conditioners, and rebates from gas and electric companies. These savings are immediate and impactful, especially for those living in older homes with lower efficiency units.We dive into safety as a top priority, particularly the risks of carbon monoxide from improperly maintained furnaces. Chris emphasizes regular maintenance—including annual tune-ups and filter changes—to protect both the system's longevity and the home's air quality. He also discusses add-ons like UV lights and air purifiers that actively kill bacteria and viruses in the air.The conversation shifts to the importance of proper system installation. While many homeowners obsess over brands, Chris reminds us that installation quality matters more than the brand name. An incorrectly sized or poorly installed unit leads to inefficiency, noise, and higher long-term costs. Sizing the unit correctly through load calculations ensures better performance and comfort.We also hear about Chris's unique journey from owning a cattle and crop farm to managing HVAC sales and system design. His career transition led him to a leadership role at Cregger, where he now mentors technicians and helps expand their HVAC services. Matt notes that Chris is the company's first-ever HVAC Manager, brought in during a period of strategic growth.Cregger's recent involvement with the Royal Oak Chamber is also discussed. They've joined community events like the Summer Concert Series and Halloween festivities, with plans to donate an HVAC system to a local veteran in need. Community service remains a cornerstone of their mission, from food banks to supporting animal shelters.As the episode wraps, we ask our signature “fishbowl” questions. Chris shares his one regret—wishing he'd entered the trades earlier—and Matt reflects on reviving a Greek family tradition involving a New Year's dish and a lucky coin.  Learn more about the Royal Oak Chamber of Commerce: https://www.royaloakchamber.com/Connect with our hosts:Jon Gay from JAG in Detroit Podcasts - http://www.jagindetroit.com/Lisa Bibbee from Century 21 Northland - http://soldbylisab.com/

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's personal for us, it's personal for lots of Kiwis - they make policy decisions that impact a lot of people in New Zealand. So it is personal."

Significant pressure at Auckland's major hospitals this winter is being felt across almost all the different parts of the health system, including at general practice, private urgent care and in the community.

One nurse said the system is so stretched she is seeing sick patients discharged into the community before they're ready.
