How is it possible that the Dame Noeline Taurua crisis has actually got worse today? How is it possible that she's got her job back today and this thing has still got worse? I'm getting the impression that Netball New Zealand do not realize how bad this is today. If they don't realize the enormous damage that Dame Noeline has done to them by going on at least three radio interviews and one TV interview and saying repeatedly the same thing - that she does not know how she was stood down, that there was no investigation to clear her before she was brought back - if they don't realize how enormous this is, I can't explain it to them. They're not responding today to Dame Noels' comments and they're not saying if she's right or wrong. All we know is that the Netball New Zealand minder who was with her when she was doing the interviews told her to stop telling Mike Hosking that she didn't know why she was stood down. Now let me, for the benefit of everyone - but particularly I think for Netball New Zealand - explain how bad this is. None of us here in this office can think of a single employment disagreement that has been dragged out in public like this for this long with this much interest in it. Not even, I would say, the John Hawkesby-Richard Long case back in the late 90s, which was a really big deal at the time - not even that went on this long and was this badly handled. None of us can also think of a single time when Mike Hosking interviewed someone over four interview slots, which is what happened with Dame Noels this morning. Even during COVID, Jacinda Ardern maybe got three slots maximum. Noeline got four, that's how big this is. It's certainly big enough, I think, for somebody at Netball New Zealand to lose their job now. I'm sorry to say this, because I've got a lot of respect for Matt Whineray, the chair of the board, but I think this is now big enough for him to actually have to consider standing down. Either him or the CEO Jennie Wyllie - or frankly, both of them. Either that or they tell us that Dame Noeline is wrong and that what she said on air this morning was wrong. But if her version of events is right, then what has happened to her is completely unacceptable, and Netball New Zealand must indicate that they think this - that they do not condone this kind of ill treatment of employees because their judgment is now in question. We're all looking at this and thinking - if you can stuff up something this badly, what else are you going to stuff up? They cannot afford for us to not believe in their judgment because they are now far from through the worst of what they're going through, with the financial crisis that they're in and the broadcasting crisis that they're in, right? They have not actually solved their broadcasting problems and they have not saved the domestic competition. If they want us to trust that they know what they're doing, and if they want us to not question them at every single turn, then I'm sorry - someone absolutely has to lose their job over this.

Kicking off a new short-form series on reinventing leadership, I sit down with Dr. Suze Wilson, an associate professor at Massey University in New Zealand. She and I discuss the history and significance of critical theory as a tool in understanding and transforming leadership dynamics to foster greater inclusivity and equity. Suze shares a bit about her background and then summarizes her doctoral work on the evolution of leadership theories from trait theory to transformational leadership. She critiques the magical and often unrealistic expectations placed on leaders, particularly highlighting the danger of overlooking power dynamics in modern contexts. The conversation also explores the impact of political trends, particularly the rise of Trumpism, on global leadership norms. Toward the end of the episode, Suze emphasizes pragmatic approaches to fostering healthier leadership practices, referencing New Zealand's former Prime Minister, Jacinda Ardern, as an illustrative example. The episode concludes with reflections on hope and collective agency in driving social change.Dr. Suze Wilson is a leadership scholar and senior lecturer at Massey University, Auckland, Aotearoa, New Zealand. Her research examines issues of power, identity, gender, ethics, discourse, practice, context, and crisis in relation to leadership and its development. Her doctoral thesis won the 2014 Fredric M. Jablin Doctoral Dissertation Award, given by the ILA in partnership with the Jepson School of Leadership Studies; she has since become a Fellow and Board member of the ILA. Her work has appeared in the Journal of Business Ethics, Organization, Organizational Dynamics, Leadership and Culture, and Organization. Suze's books are Thinking Differently About Leadership (2016), Revitalizing Leadership (2018), written in collaboration with Stephen Cummings, Brad Jackson, and Sarah Proctor-Thomson, and After Leadership, which she edited in collaboration with Brigid Carroll and Josh Firth. She is also editor of the Routledge Critical Companion to Leadership Studies along with David Knights, Owain Smolovic-Jones, and Helena Liu. She is an Associate Editor of the journal Leadership and also writes public commentary for The Conversation. Before entering academia, Suze held a range of senior leadership roles in several government agencies, the New Zealand postal service, a trade union, and the student union movement.Referenced In This Episode:Letters From An American - Heather Cox RichardsonThinking Differently About Leadership, by Suze Wilson, PhDA Different Kind of Power: A Memoir, by Jacinda ArdernSupport the showThe stories and opinions shared in this episode are based on personal experience and are not intended to malign any individual, group, or organization.Join The Deeper Pulse at Patreon for weekly bonus episodes + other exclusive bonus content.

Labour first started working on a blueprint for a capital gains tax under David Lange, but it was scrapped after Labour's 1990 election defeat. Fast forward to 2019 when Jacinda Ardern ruled out implementing the tax while she was prime minister So it begs the questions, why is a capital gains tax such a political hot potato? Is this a good political move for Labour? If the public show support, could it be something National adopt?

C'est l'histoire d'une rumeur qui s'est répandue comme une trainée de poudre ces dernières années. Une infox, une fausse information, qui circule sans barrières ni limites… en France comme à l'étranger. Brigitte Macron, l'épouse du président français, serait en fait un homme… Une affaire qui interroge, interpelle, interloque les médias du monde entier. Depuis lundi, relate le Guardian à Londres, « dix personnes sont jugées à Paris pour harcèlement en ligne à l'encontre de Brigitte Macron. C'est la dernière phase d'une bataille juridique des deux côtés de l'Atlantique contre la fausse allégation selon laquelle la première dame française serait, un homme nommé Jean-Michel Trogneux (du nom de son frère). Le président Emmanuel Macron et son épouse avaient déposé plainte en diffamation aux États-Unis fin juillet, en lien avec la même rumeur amplifiée et répétée en ligne par la podcasteuse d'extrême droite Candace Owens ». La machine à désinformer… « En quatre ans, pointe Le Soir à Bruxelles, le couple Macron n'a jamais réussi à se départir de cette rumeur intrusive et nauséabonde (…). Les montages photos, les vidéos détournées, les deep fakes sont désormais alimentés par une intelligence artificielle (…). Les milieux complotistes et d'extrême droite font tourner la machine à désinformer, certains influenceurs captant au passage un petit pactole sur la monétisation de cette infox. Les régimes algorithmiques favorisent une économie de la diffamation sexiste et transphobe. Avant Brigitte Macron, Michelle Obama, l'ancienne vice-présidente américaine Kamala Harris ou encore Jacinda Ardern, ex-Première ministre néo-zélandaise, ont subi des rumeurs similaires ». « Cette affaire, poursuit Le Soir, montre aussi la déstabilisation dont sont capables les nébuleuses d'extrême droite quand elles s'allient, des deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Selon une enquête du journal Le Monde, l'influenceuse américaine Candace Owens était alimentée par l'un des prévenus français, qui entretient des liens avec l'extrême droite. Les démentis, les colères, les silences du chef de l'État français et de son épouse n'ont pas apaisé la soif de complot ni comblé les brèches dans la capacité à s'informer ». Difficile à arrêter… « Comment arrêter une théorie du complot ? », s'interroge La Croix à Paris. Réponse : c'est très difficile… « Les théories du complot ont ceci de redoutable que : "ce sont des théories zombies : elles survivent à la contradiction et ressuscitent des années plus tard", explique Tristan Mendès France, chercheur et membre de l'Observatoire du conspirationnisme. Chaque démenti devient une "preuve" de plus. Si la victime se tait, c'est qu'elle "reconnaît la vérité". Et la justice, aussi nécessaire soit-elle, n'a qu'un effet limité. Les poursuites peuvent avoir un effet dissuasif ponctuel, mais elles ne font pas disparaître les contenus déjà partagés. Pour Thomas Huchon, journaliste d'investigation spécialiste du complotisme, toujours interrogé par La Croix, il faut distinguer les convaincus des indécis. "On ne convaincra jamais les complotistes, dit-il. Mais on peut informer ceux qui hésitent encore ou n'ont pas été exposés". Il plaide pour une stratégie de reconquête : "réoccuper l'espace médiatique, produire du vrai, donner des repères" ». « Pitoyable… » Lundi, relève Le Figaro à Paris, lors de la première journée du procès des harceleurs présumés de Brigitte Macron, « la majorité des prévenus n'ont pas reconnu être responsables de cyberharcèlement. Tous ont plaidé la liberté d'expression et se sont défendus d'avoir voulu cibler la première dame. Pour eux, leurs tweets ou retweets n'étaient que de "l'humour" et la manifestation d'un "esprit satirique". Un "esprit Charlie" ». « Une défense pitoyable », s'insurge Le Soir. « Les prévenus se sont posés en prétendues victimes ». Prêts à fournir des preuves… En tout cas, « la mise à nu du couple Macron ne fait sans doute que commencer, pointe Le Monde à Paris. Dans le cadre de la procédure contre (la podcasteuse américaine) Candace Owens, Brigitte Macron est prête à effectuer, si nécessaire, d'après son avocat, des tests physiologiques afin de prouver qu'elle est une femme. Le même type d'examens auxquels sont soumises certaines athlètes féminines accusées de mentir sur leur genre. Des photos de famille pourraient être également produites. (…) Les Macron seraient prêts à se déplacer dans le Delaware pour comparaître ou témoigner devant le tribunal ». Et Le Monde de s'interroger : « verra-t-on un président en exercice se présenter face à la justice d'une puissance étrangère ? L'événement serait hors norme. À l'image des proportions prises par cette affaire ».
Have you ever dated someone you knew, logically, was a bad idea? A puppeteer twenty years your senior, perhaps?
In Amsterdam verzamelen zich deze dagen politieke kopstukken: van Frans Timmermans en Jesse Klaver tot de voormalig Nieuw-Zeelandse premier Jacinda Ardern en de Spaanse premier Pedro Sanchez. Deze sociaal democraten komen samen onder de kopjes: sociaal, progressief en links. Maar welke verschillende smaken bestaan er allemaal op het linkervlak van het politieke spectrum? En is het uiteindelijk toch 1 grote familie of zijn de verschillen te groot?

Do you want another example of Labour's ideology over pragmatism? I really, really hope that the previous Labour ministers have learned from their previous terms in government that thought bubbles and bright ideas do not sound policy make. Remember Fees Free? The policy was introduced in 2018 and was a key part of Labour's election campaign. The first year of tertiary study would be free for students. It would progressively roll out to cover three years, which never eventuated. We, the taxpayer, provided up to $12,000 in tuition fee payments for the first year of provider-based study or the first two years of work-based learning. The idea behind the objective was sound and worthy. The Labour Government, Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, et al, billed it as improving equity and opening the doors to higher learning for disadvantaged people for whom the doors would otherwise be closed. Labour expected to see a first-in-family effect. There would be students who would be the first in their families to attend higher education, now a significant cost barrier would be removed. Did that happen? Thank you for asking, no, it didn't. Over the years 2017 to 2022, European, Māori, Pacific, and Asian participation rates stayed relatively steady. The failure to shift the dial, the New Zealand Herald reports, was so evident that in 2020, Labour shifted the policy's purpose to reducing student debt levels. All right, well we can't get disadvantaged kids to university, we can't get first in family. Oh, I know, we'll use the taxpayer money to reduce student debt level. The failed objectives were to increase participation in tertiary study, expand access by reducing financial barriers, and support lifelong learning. Nope. First year fees-free was limited to learners with little to no prior study, limiting lifelong learning support, the analysis said from the Ministry of Education. It described the scheme as a lot of money for little behavioural change, or as they put it, a high deadweight cost. From this year, the Coalition Government has changed the scheme so it applies to the final year of study, with payment following the completion of studies. The policy has three objectives: to incentivize learners, particularly disadvantaged learners, to finish their studies, to reward learners who complete their program of study, to reduce the overall cost of study. The Ministry of Education officials say this is going to fail too. Particularly for degree level study, once a learner reaches their final year, they are already far more likely to complete than those first entering study. So basically, they said it's a self-fulfilling prophecy. By the time you reach your third year, you're going to finish whether the taxpayer is paying for your final year of fees or not. You're motivated enough to stay. They say the second goal is essentially meaningless. Of course there's going to be a completion of qualifications. And the third objective, will most likely succeed, to reduce the overall cost of study. And it will at least help the government's books, the trade-off being an estimated $230 million a year in student debt or more debt repayments than would otherwise occur. So thought bubbles don't make sound policy. The thing that really concerned me in the early years of Labour was that they were ideas I'd think of – ‘Oh, I know, let's do this'. Which is great, but you have to think it through, and you have to listen to your advisors, and you have to listen when people say, "Mm, I'm not entirely sure that we're going to be able to build 100,000 houses." "Yeah, yeah, yeah, but what about if we do this?" And we just throw as much money as we possibly can at it. And on the face of it, taking away that first year of paying your fees – "Hey, gang, I've got an idea. Let's take away that first year of fees so that disadvantaged kids will see university as a great option." I mean, it doesn't take much scratching beyond the surface to see that's not going to work. And we all said that at the time, didn't we? We discussed it. And now it looks like according to the analysis that fees-free final year won't work either. At least not for getting disadvantaged kids through degrees. For those who are highly motivated and have families that go to university, it's like, "Hooray!" Excellent. We'll take the $12,000 off our student debt, thanks very much, and good. If it helps motivated kids get through their study with less of a financial burden around their neck, it makes it easier for them to move onto the next phase of their life, buying a home, starting a family, this is all good. You know, but in terms of the objectives, it's going to fail. But they have to keep it because of the coalition agreement with both NZ First and ACT. So they might have to do what Labour did and just rewrite the objectives. Our objective is that we reward kids who were going to go to university anyway, who are motivated, who are successful, who we want to keep in New Zealand. We'll take $12,000 off their overall student debt, so they'll stay here, buy a house, and have a family. And on the face of it, that's not a bad objective.

On today's episode, we dive into the recent political drama as Christopher Luxon offers a surprising invitation to Labour's Chris Hipkins: support oil and gas exploration again to help tackle New Zealand's energy crisis. After Labour banned oil and gas under Jacinda Ardern's government, Luxon is pushing to lift the ban—but Hipkins has firmly rejected the idea.Is Luxon trying to bind Hipkins politically, or is this a serious attempt to find common ground on energy policy? I break down why Hipkins' outright refusal feels more like political theater than pragmatic leadership, and why Luxon's move, despite some clumsy timing, signals a shift towards addressing the real-world energy challenges we face.

TONIGHT'S GUEST HOST: Sean AcklandThe Prime Minister has ranked 15th in Cabinet in a survey of senior business leaders, who are also casting doubt on the country's economic performance. The New Zealand Herald released its latest Mood of the Boardroom which attracted 150 responses from chief executives and other leaders. Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Finance Minister Nicola Willis were out of Cabinet's top 10 performers, according to the results. Luxon scored on average 2.96 out of 5 where one is "not impressive" and five is "very impressive".Mihingarangi Forbes and Mata talk with Minister of Finance Nicola Willis on the integration between the non-Māori and Māori economy and why Māori are organizing their own economic forum as they feel like the government isn't doing a good enough job for them at the moment. Also on the agenda is a conversation around why, when it's the most successful style of education in NZ, kohanga reo is not getting the same boost at mainstream schooling.Jimmy Kimmel returns to the air and talks about all of the people who have reached out over the last six days including fellow late night talk show hosts, fans of the show, and those who don't support what he believes but support his right to share those beliefs anyway, and he expresses that it was never his intention to make light of the murder of a young man, how important it is to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this, the Chairman of the FCC Brendan Carr telling an American company that “We can do this the easy way or the hard way,”“We need more leaders who are willing to be humans while they're in the job.” Jacinda Ardern, the former Prime Minister of New Zealand, sits down with Jon Stewart to discuss her experiences in office, which she chronicles in her memoir, “A Different Kind of Power,”=================================Come support the work we're doing by becoming a Patron of #BHN www.patreon.com/BigHairyNews=================================Merch available at www.BHNShop.nz Like us on Facebookwww.facebook.com/BigHairyNews Follow us on Twitter.@patbrittenden @Chewie_NZFollow us on BlueskyPat @patbrittenden.bsky.socialChewie @chewienz.bsky.socialEmily @iamprettyawesome.bsky.socialMagenta @xkaosmagex.bsky.social

I think it is significant that David Seymour has walked away from supporting his own bill to bring in four-year terms for the Government. He was the one who introduced this bill - but he's now pulled ACT's support. Every other party in parliament appears to still back it, but he's pulled support because the safeguards that he wanted are gone. His idea was that we increase the terms from three to four years. So you vote the Government and you get three years - and now he wants to make it four years, which basically means giving the Government more power. But he was only okay with that if we balanced it out by taking away some power. And his idea was to allow the opposition parties to control every single select committee, giving them the power. But that part of the plan, the select committee part, has been removed. So David Seymour doesn't support his own idea anymore, which frankly, I think is a good idea, because he has ended up exactly where I have been this entire time. No to four-year terms unless there are new limits, because as it is, Governments in this country do not have much in the way of limits. If they want to pass a law, they can - they can do it under urgency if they want to. They can announce and pass it in literally the same day. That is what happened with the pay equity law. Did you like that? You want some more of that? Because that would happen with four years. This is why Jeffrey Palmer said that we have the fastest law in the West. Other countries have ways to limit or control or check the power of the executive. They have upper houses, they have senates, whatever. We've got nothing. Given that everyone else in parliament seems to support this, it seems to me there's a fair chance this is going to go to referendum for us to decide, perhaps at the next election. And people who want four years will tell you that you must say yes because Governments don't have enough time to do what they want, which is utter bollocks, because they do have enough time. I've realized in the last couple of years, it's not because of lack of time they don't get things done, it's because of a lack of will. This Government had enough time to make changes to the supermarkets and make changes to the banks and make changes to the energy sector. They've talked about it enough - but they haven't done it because they don't want to do it, because it takes balls. I don't want four years because two blocks of three years of Jacinda Ardern's lunatic Labour administration was enough. Can you imagine how broke the country would be after two blocks of four years? Unless there are new safeguards brought in - and there are no safeguards proposed. So it's a hard no. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
I'll tell you what I found interesting over the last few days it's the enormous surprise at the start, and now the debate about Chris Bishop saying it's a good thing that house prices are falling. He was asked about this on Friday and he said, yes, it's a good thing and that we've got to decouple the idea that the New Zealand economy is driven by house prices - labelling it 'artificial wealth'. The immediate response to that was shock that anyone could say it, but especially a National Party minister. And now, 3 days later, there are still newspaper pieces expressing surprise that he's got away with it - in contrast to for example, Metiria Turei, who got smacked down for it, and Jacinda Ardern, who wouldn't go there. And what's more, the surprise is that the Prime Minister has now apparently contradicted him and said, no, he does want some modest and consistent house price rises. Look, Chris Bishop has got away with it because he's right. It is actually a good thing that house prices have come back. It sucks. It sucks right now quite badly, doesn't it? Cause none of us feel wealthy as our house prices drop. And it is definitely prolonging the recession because we're not spending like we normally would when our house price values increase, which makes us feel wealthy. But it is the short-term medicine that this economy needs for improvement, because we cannot keep plowing our money into property - we should be putting it into productive investments, for example, buying shares in Pic's or whatever. Now, I know people who are actually changing their behaviour because of what is going on with house prices. I know a woman who earlier thought about buying an investment property, but didn't - and will put her money into shares instead because it's much of a muchness now. To answer the question of why Chris Bishop can get away with it, when Metiria Turei got punished for it and when Jacinda Ardern wouldn't even go there for fear of public backlash - is because it is already happening. He's not threatening to do it to us like those two birds might have. It is already happening to us. He's actually said it before, by the way, so he is consistent. And maybe, just maybe, enough of us have already realized that this is the pain we have to go through - as much as we hate it right now - for the sake of future generations. And also, by the way, I like the fact that he said something that he truly believes in, rather than saying something that he might have thought we all want to hear.

Jacinda Ardern was the Socialist Labor Party Prime Minister of New Zealand for 8 years. She led with a politics of empathy, delivering her nation from COVID with just 25 deaths. In a horrific white nationalist attack by an Australian, masses of Muslims were killed and wounded while at prayer. She fostered deep solidarity between New Zealand and its Muslim community, conveying the message that they are one unified nation. In the words of Mohammed, she declared that an injury to one limb is an injury to the whole body. She is a model of a very different and badly needed kind of power.

Emile Donovan speaks to constitutional lawyer Graeme Edgeler about why former ministers weren't compelled to attend the Royal Commission of Inquiry.
I'm assuming the instigators of the second Covid Inquiry are deeply disappointed in what is unfolding, in terms of accountability. Inquiry Part 1 was a Labour Government stitch up. It was an exercise in smoke and mirrors. Inquiry Part 2 is a coalition deal driven by ACT and NZ First, and was designed to look into areas not touched on in Part 1: access to vaccines, lock downs, economic damage, and so on. I have argued since the start that we needed an advisorial approach. In other words, we do it like the Brits, who called people to a witness stand and held them accountable. We didn't do that and now we're paying the price. Ardern and Hipkins, along with Robertson, have declined to appear. No kidding. What a surprise. I wonder why? Grant Illingworth KC, who is in charge of the current work, has the power apparently to pull them in. He is choosing not to do so, hence my assumption of disappointment at political party level. The Illingworth justification is the aforementioned operators are cooperating with proceedings. That's not good enough in my book, or indeed anywhere close. Simple question: is there a broad expectation among ordinary, everyday New Zealanders that those who made life-changing calls in a life-changing period of New Zealand owe it to us all to front and be questioned under oath about why they did what they did? Another question: what does it say about the morals and characters of said people, who seek public mandate and public support and approval, that when things get a bit awkward they are nowhere to be seen? Where is the courage of their conviction? Where are their spines and gonads? Can a person like Hipkins, and indeed Verrall, who I also understand is refusing to front, possibly present themselves to the voting public next year with a straight face and ask once again for the power to run the land, having been the same people who in august of the year before ran for the hills when accountability came calling? The rules of engagement were lacking. We were let down. As the head of this with power to do better, Illingworth is letting us down. But nowhere near the level of Ardern, Hipkins, Robertson, and Verrall, who should be ashamed of themselves. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Current and former Labour leaders and ministers deciding not to appear at the Royal Commission's Covid inquiry is being described as 'disgraceful'. Jacinda Ardern, Chris Hipkins, Grant Robertson and Ayesha Verrall, who were all involved in Covid decisions - have declined invitations to appear.

During Jacinda Ardern's historic run as Prime Minister of New Zealand from 2017 - 2023, she became a worldwide phenomenon and icon of the Left. From the pandemic to a horrific mass shooting in NZ, Jacinda faced a series of major crises, as well as a media crush that followed her everywhere. But during those tumultuous times, one thing remained unknown: what was it like for the person at the center of these events to experience all that — and, simultaneously, being a new mother as well? In Michelle Walshe and Lindsay Utz's enthralling documentary “Prime Minister,” we now get to hear from the former PM herself. Michelle and Lindsay join Ken on the pod to describe what it was like to embark on this journey of self-reflection with Jacinda Ardern. Relying on a combination of intimate home movie footage shot by Jacinda's husband, news clips and original material, the two directors put us right back in the middle of these events, as well as offer Jacinda's insightful perceptive on what it means to her now and where to go from here. “Prime Minister” is in theatrical release by Magnolia Pictures.

In 2017, Jacinda Ardern was sitting in a bathroom waiting to learn two things: whether she was going to be the prime minister of New Zealand – and whether she was pregnant. Ardern became only the second person in history to give birth while holding elected office at the top of government. And as prime minister, she had few people to turn to for advice on balancing the challenges of motherhood with leading a country. In today's episode, Ardern joins NPR's Mary Louise Kelly for a conversation about her new memoir A Different Kind of Power. They discuss what it was like to be a young woman running a country, the way Ardern has experienced parental guilt inside and outside of her political career, and how she knew when it was time to leave office.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Ardern offers advice to business leaders grappling with geopolitical and economic uncertainty and disruption. She's the author of the book A Different Kind of Power.
