Nicola Willis: How petrol will be prioritised in worst-case scenarios Finance minister Nicola Willis spoke to Q+A about how the war in Iran and unfolding fuel crisis could affect New Zealand in worst case scenarios, including if there are widespread cancellations of deliveries on force majeure grounds. She discussed how the government is considering prioritisation if that happens. She also discussed other scenarios in which there's a much longer term issue with higher prices, and what that will mean for the wider economic position for the country. How CEOs are preparing for Iran war fallout Q+A canvassed a group of CEOs for a business insight into how they're preparing their companies in case the fallout from the Iran war gets worse. We spoke to Port of Auckland CEO Roger Gray, Mainfreight Managing Director Don Braid, and Ballance Agri-Nutrients CEO Kelvin Wickham. The district with nowhere for elderly to go Q+A reporter Whena Owen goes to Wairoa where the district is facing an acute shortage of rest home places, after the last facility closed due to damage from Cyclone Gabrielle. But is help now on the way? How drones have taken over the “kill zone” in Ukraine Drones and other unmanned weapons systems have never been more effective on the battlefields of Ukraine, making the concept of front lines non-existent. Instead, a kilometres-wide area now sits between the two armies, where humans are constantly at risk of being targeted. Brigadier Stuart Nasse describes it as being like “the opening scene of Terminator 2”, and says the way war is waged has changed radically. He leads the multinational coalition on drones supporting Ukraine, and was in New Zealand to speak at the Centre for Strategic Studies. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.

Clive Mackenzie is CEO of Kiwi Property, the developer transforming New Zealand's "Golden Triangle" through massive urban projects. Clive believes Sylvia Park will be a self-sustaining satellite city within two decades, in line with a global trend of turning shopping centres into massive, mixed-use metropolitan areas that act as giant spending magnets. We break down Kiwi Property’s $3B portfolio, and why they’ve sold off some major assets to double down on "fortress" locations. Hear how they secured the only New Zealand locations for retail icons like Zara and IKEA, and the process of developing an entire town, the 50-hectare, 60,000-resident Drury project. Clive shares why he’s focused on metrics like "sales per square meter", how retail comes down to the survival of the fittest, and why physical stores are thriving thanks to enhanced in-store experiences.

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Eric Ravussin, one of the world's leading researchers in human metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. Over several decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has helped reshape how scientists think about body weight regulation, moving the conversation beyond the simplistic idea of “calories in versus calories out” to a deeper understanding of the biology that governs appetite, energy expenditure, and fat storage.In this conversation, Mikki and Eric explore the brain's role in regulating body weight, the influence of genetics and environment, and what his landmark research — including work with the Pima population and the CALERIE trial — has revealed about metabolic adaptation, calorie restriction, and longevity. They also discuss spontaneous physical activity, the concept of a body-weight “settling point,” and the emerging role of GLP-1 medications in obesity treatment. It's a fascinating look at the physiology of weight regulation and why maintaining weight loss is often far more complex than most people realise.About Dr. Eric RavussinDr. Eric Ravussin is an internationally recognised researcher in metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. He is Associate Executive Director for Clinical Science at the Pennington Biomedical Research Center at Louisiana State University, one of the world's leading institutions for metabolic research.For more than three decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has focused on understanding the biological drivers of obesity and weight regulation, including energy expenditure, metabolic adaptation, appetite regulation, and the role of genetics in body weight. His research with the Pima population helped illuminate the powerful interaction between genetics and environment in the development of obesity.Dr. Ravussin has also been a principal investigator in the landmark CALERIE (Comprehensive Assessment of Long-term Effects of Reducing Intake of Energy) trial, the first long-term randomised controlled trial examining the physiological effects of sustained calorie restriction in humans, including its potential implications for metabolic health and longevity.He has authored hundreds of scientific publications and remains a leading voice in research exploring how biology, behaviour, and environment interact to shape body weight and metabolic health.Prof Ravussin's faculty profile:https://www.pbrc.edu/research-and-faculty/faculty/Ravussin-Eric-PhD.aspx  Curranz Supplement: Use code MIKKIPEDIA to get 20% off your first order - go to www.curranz.co.nz  or www.curranz.co.uk to order yours NZ listeners - save 10% off Calocurb by using the code Mikkipedia10 at www.calocurb.co.nzContact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Nuclear risk rises: Why Iran war is so dangerous for the world With the United States and Israel claiming their attack on Iran is to prevent the Islamic Republic getting their hands on a nuclear weapon, can war be used to stop countries getting nukes? And why has Iran been attacked while North Korea – a nuclear armed state – has been left alone? Amid the world descending into conflict, more countries are arming themselves more heavily with the weapons of mass destruction. Tim Wright is the Treaty Coordinator for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons. He tells Jack Tame why his organisation is pushing for a treaty that will require all states to reduce and eventually eliminate their nuclear arsenals. Iran war: Concerns for critical Hormuz Strait supply route Auckland University professor Ismail Golgeci is an expert on international supply chains and the Gulf region. He tells Q+A why the Strait of Hormuz is so critical, and why commodities like fertiliser, food, and fuel are now in trouble. New Zealand's economic weak points as Iran crisis deepens It's not just the price of petrol. New Zealand is highly dependant on the wider global economy, and the Iran war is putting pressure in unexpected and uncomfortable places. Business Desk senior correspondent Dileepa Fonseka and 1News business correspondent Jason Walls go through where some of New Zealand's weak points are, why this is likely to lead to a quicker than expected rise in interest rates, and the unknown factors that could spell further trouble. Pursuing justice despite Trump backlash: ICC Judge Kimberly Prost International Criminal Court judge Kimberly Prost talks to Q+A with Jack Tame about the costs she's faced since being sanctioned by the Trump administration for attempting to investigate allegations of war crimes, and why the mission of the ICC is so important. She also responds to criticism of the ICC, including about who prosecutions are brought against, and whether the court oversteps its bounds. Join Jack Tame and the Q+A team and find the answers to the questions that matter. Made with the support of NZ on Air.

Is the golden age of software over? Andrew Curtayne, tech sector specialist at Milford Asset Management, puts the industry under the microscope. While hardware giants like Nvidia are still projecting heady numbers, software providers like Salesforce are under threat from AI tools that enable anyone to write code. With the central AI chip manufacturer sold out until 2028, what does that mean for the supply chain? Why do the biggest tech companies need to tap debt markets to fund a trillion-dollar construction spree? We discuss the "doomsday" scenario for white-collar jobs being automated, and why the market is currently favouring unglamorous sectors like consumer staples. Plus, the coming energy battle over data centers, $50 billion facilities that can consume as much power as a small city.

Are plant-based milks really disrupting dairy? David Bortolussi, CEO of The a2 Milk Company, says not so fast. In this bite, he explains why a2 is doubling down on its A1 protein-free dairy proposition — and why plant-based isn’t part of the core strategy. With US sales up 29% and profitability targeted for FY27, David shares why he believes premium dairy is back in growth — and why a2 will never produce a product containing A1 protein.

Guest: Wing Commander Barry “Patch” Nelson Host: Dave Homewood Recorded: ‎29th of ‎December ‎2025 Released: 1st of March 2026 Duration: 1 hour 15 minutes 26 seconds Have you ever wondered what is involved when a new aircraft type is selected for service in the Royal New Zealand Air Force? In this episode of the Wings Over New Zealand Show, Dave Homewood speaks with Wing Commander Barry “Patch” Nelson on this very topic. Patch was in charge if the Royal New Zealand Air Force team who were responsible for the their part in the selection of the NHIndustries NH90 twin-engined medium utility helicopters, to replace the Bell UH-1H Iroquois fleet; and also the selection of the AgustaWestland A109 Light Utility Helicopters that replaced the Bell 47G Sioux fleet. There is an inordinate amount of work involved in selecting a new type, and a massive number of people from all sorts of government departments and community groups all have an input, as Patch explains. This is a fascinating look into the inner workings of a selection team, deep in the heart of Defence Headquarters in Wellington. The NH90 was selected to replace the Iroquois, and the contract to buy nine NH90-TTH variant helicopters was finalised in July-August 2006. The first and second examples of the fleet, NZ3301 and NZ3302, were delivered on the 6th of December 2011, and deliveries followed as they were built, through till 2014. The fleet became fully operational in 2015, and eight examples now form the backbone of No. 3 Squadron. And additional ninth NH90 is held as an Attrition Airframe. The A109LUH is a lightweight, twin-engined helicopter with a modern glass cockpit and a retractable wheeled undercarriage. The A109s were acquired under a NZ$139 million contract signed in May 2008 for the acquisition of the five A109s, plus an additional A109 airframe to be used as a source of spares, as well as a simulator and a spares and support package. The A109s began arriving at Ohakea in May 2011, and five of them are now are operated by the Helicopter Transitional Unit, No. 3 Squadron RNZAF, at Ohakea.

The purpose of this EX was to qualify and re-qualify Air Force personnel in gunnery in helicopters, and uses the 109 and the NH90. The exercise also involved stationary targets for self-defense. Training in the NH90 flight simulator. Exercise Steel Talon is a helicopter crew training activity conducted by 3 Squadron of the Royal New Zealand Air Force.

NZDF personnel from the Royal New Zealand Navy, NZ Army and Royal New Zealand Air Force take part in Exercise Talisman Sabre (TS23) across Australia. TS23 is a bilateral, biennial Australian hosted and USA supported combined exercise focused on the planning and conduct of a high end, mid-intensity warfighting scenario. The exercise is designed to improve combat readiness, exercise war-fighting skills and systems, whilst advancing combined staff and force interoperability. The New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF) and its international partners conduct a military assault against a ‘Becaran’ ‘highland militia’ stronghold on the Rainbow Ski-field near St Arnaud in the Tasman district during SK15. The assault was spear-headed by NZ infantry ‘fast-roped’ by Royal New Zealand Air Force (RNZAF) NH-90 helicopters to take the high ground sorrounding the ski-field, and by a combined Australian-New Zealand ANZAC Ready Reaction Force (RRF), utilising Australian Bushmaster Protected Mobility Vehicles, which cleared and secured the rebel base at the ski-field Ex Southern Katipo 2015 (SK15) is a combined, joint, international training field exercise focussed on developing, exercising and evaluating the NZDF's independent amphibious capabilities and ability to project forces anywhere in the South West Pacific. SK15 provides the opportunity to ensure continual preparedness to operate independently or with our coalition partners. The scenario involves a fictional South West Pacific country that has requested international intervention to restore law and order. The scenario allows for an emphasis on amphibious operations within the context of a larger stability and security operation.
