Auckland needs sporting events. As many as possible. As big and flash and shiny as they come. The oft rumoured State of Origin has been teasing the populace for many a year. Rumours are still thick on the ground; this time it's thought that the announcement will be as early as this month. Great if it happens, but it will be a one off I'd suggest, great for a stellar tourist weekend for the 09, but not the long term locked down major sporting event the city yearns for. We have the ASB Classic. An annual tennis-fest to be proud of, long may it be a staple of the summer. The annual All Black fixture at Eden Park. Then crickets. The insects, not the test version which the city is incapable of hosting. It's hardly big or shiny either right? I'm not sure it's sport, but the hugely popular Black Clash cricket sportainment event is in the Bay. No big motorsport event in AK, although there were attempts at bringing Formula E here, but that got quashed before it had a chance to plug in. Supercars? Taupo and Christchurch. The World Rally Championship has been and gone; it is now a rarely realised pipe dream. Sevens rugby is long dead. Aotearoa's major golf tournament is in Queenstown. PDC darts? At least we've pinched that back from the Tron. Surfing's World League? Raglan. No America's Cup, thanks Grant. All of this points to one thing, the Auckland leg of the Sail GP. If the government and Auckland city don't fight tooth and nail to keep this rapidly expanding global event here on the sparkling Waitemata, somebody will need to get in the sea. These opportunities to host a major sporting event like this as a rare as a summer without poo on our beaches. Secure it and secure it long term.

Watch on YouTubeNick Tulloch, chairman of ECR Minerals, joins Vox in the wake of the company's move to production at its Raglan gold project in Australia. The company has laid out a plan which shows that production at Raglan is likely to amount to 938 ounces of gold. That has an in-situ value of A$7 million which, considering the project was acquired for around A$1 million, isn't a bad return. An off-take deal has now been put in place, and as production from Raglan ramps up, attention will also turn to Blue Mountain, a bigger project, not far away.

As prices for everyone's favourite sweet treat soar, chocolate makers are searching to find cheaper alternatives. A Rabobank report reveals manufacturers are exploring ways to replace cocoa beans, including lab-grown options, as climate pressures disrupt supply and make global cocoa prices rise. Raglan Chocolate Head Maker Mike Renfree told Andrew Dickens the commodity price of cocoa has been double what it was in 2023, but it's mostly impacting the large multi-nationals. He says it was $2 a kilo in 2023, went up to $12 a kilo in 2024 and 2025, and it's now lower down at $5, but there's a lag in the system.

Watch on YouTubeECR has hit the ground running in 2026, with a the hiring of a new team to initiate gold production at the Raglan project, and a £1.5 million fundraise which has brought institutions onto the register for the first time. Production is expected to start in a matter of days, and work to get Blue Mountain up and running is also gathering momentum. In the meantime there are opportunities aplenty on the company's exploration portfolio. Nick Tulloch, ECR's chairman, joins us with the latest

Watch on YouTube For ECR Minerals, 2026 will be all about gold production. At the Raglan alluvial project in Australia ECR already has all the plant and equipment in place and is now assembling the team that will press the "go" button for production. The aim is to be up and running before Easter, and with gold running so high, it's an excellent time to be doing so. Following on from Raglan will come the larger Blue Mountain project, also alluvial. ECR's chairman Nick Tulloch joins Vox with more details, as well as with updates on other projects in Queensland and Victoria.

Really candid conversation with Charlie here about the challenges, uncertainties and pressures of one and two-year contracts when you're a dad. We also talk about the physical challenges of having twins whilst playing for Cheltenham Town FC too - trying to train and play after a few hours sleep.Ultimately, fans want their teams to win, but I do think we underestimate how difficult pro sport can be - particularly when you're not financially set from your playing days. Charlie, 32, talks openly here about the future and what his next career could be. As someone who was lucky enough to do a fun job, but now I have to ‘go again' I can certainly empathise with how daunting (and exciting) that can be. 

ECR Minerals has announced the acquisition of the Raglan alluvial gold project in Australia, in conjunction with a £650,000 fundraise. ECR's chairman joins us to explain the thinking behind the deal, which should make ECR cash generative next year.

Raglan's Xtreme Zero waste recyling centre is banning cast-offs from the China based fast fashion giant Shein. It says the poor quality and the sheer volumme Shein garments mean its a real challenge to sell them in their recycle retail store. Shein clothes tend to be made from synthetic fabrics, and testing has shown some contain harmful chemical like formaldehyde and are sold for extremely low prices. It's also alleged some Shein staff are working 75 hour weeks and getting just one day off a month. Jemma Hovelmeier from Xtreme Zero Waste in Raglan spoke to Lisa Owen.

Today's guest is John Clapham or JC, and I met him in Raglan, New Zealand last year when I walked into his shop hoping they weren't yet closing and said while huffing from my brisk walk, “What time do you close?” He responded with a smile, “depends on whose asking…LOL." And from there, we ended up chatting for about half an hour.I left thinking, I want to hear more of this guy's story.JC didn't go to college and worked his way up from tagging surf leashes in a retail shop to becoming CEO of Volcom Australia. He is the co-founder of the Raglan Surf Emporium, is a partner of Raglan Roast Coffee - which now has eleven locations across New Zealand - owns a gas station, holds major real estate investments, and continues to consult and build new ventures.In today's episode, we only scratch the surface of JC's journey. But wow -  what an inspiration.Subscribe on Apple Podcast , Spotify or YouTube.Let's connect!Subscribe to my newsletter: Time To Live: Thriving in Business and BeyondWebsite: https://www.annemcginty.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/annemcgintyInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/annemcgintyhost

Welcome to the first episode of The Greenprint! In this inaugural episode, we dive into the incredible story of Raglan Golf Club in Monmouthshire, Wales—a course that has truly risen from the ashes. After closing its doors following the COVID-19 pandemic, Raglan was purchased in early 2024 by a group hailing from Monmouthshire, and its rebirth is nothing short of inspiring. Lucy, the driving force behind the revitalization, shares her journey in transforming the course from a state of disrepair to one that's ready to open in early April. From rebuilding greens to adding new tees and bunkers, Lucy has tackled every challenge, including restoring irrigation systems and improving drainage. She also discusses the agronomic hurdles of reopening a course after being closed for over two years, including selecting the right grass species for greens that were initially sown with fescue. This episode is a fascinating look at how a struggling venue can be brought back to life with the right vision, support, and the dedication of passionate people.

That was quite a smart move from Chris Luxon yesterday, calling on opposition parties to support the Government in fixing this energy crisis we're in at the moment.Not only because this is now so serious, with businesses closing down and cutting jobs because they can't afford the power bill, that it really requires everyone in Parliament to be grown ups about it - but also because I think this is going to politically snooker Labour on that oil and gas ban. I reckon they're getting in trouble on this one now. At the moment, mind-blowingly, Labour is still committed to it. Just yesterday, Chris Hipkins said it was a bottom line they wouldn't budge on - they'll still bring the oil and gas ban back.But I wonder if that's what they're saying until they say the opposite - do you know what I mean? I don't know that they can hold the line on this forever. Because their argument at the moment is that the climate is more important than 230 mill jobs in the Ruapehu district and 300 jobs at Methanex in Taranaki - and however many other jobs are lost around the country at businesses that close down because they can't afford the power bills because we're running out of gas and not trying to find more because Labour won't let us try. Labour's argument on why they need to maintain the ban is bollocks. They're suggesting there's no more gas out there. Yes there is - there are two fields off the coast of the North Island that have gas. There's Toutouwai off Taranaki and Karewa off Raglan, both are sitting there basically untapped.If Labour really believes what it's saying, that there really is no more gas, why do they need a ban?Lift the ban, let the investors trick themselves and keep exploring for this non-existent gas, it's not going to do any harm if there really isn't any gas out there. But what it will do is help New Zealand benefit from those companies maintaining the wells we already have.Now, I don't think Labour's in trouble for this just yet - which is why they're holding the line and saying they will bring the ban back.And I believe that's because most people aren't affected yet, most of us don't work for Methanex or these businesses shutting down.But come April, when our power bills go up and we see the cost of this ban on us - Labour might have to start dropping this policy.

This Day in Legal History: Economic Opportunity ActThis day in legal history, on August 20, 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson signed the Economic Opportunity Act into law, a cornerstone of his ambitious "War on Poverty." The Act allocated $1 billion to fund social programs aimed at alleviating poverty across the United States. It created initiatives like Job Corps, which provided education and vocational training to young people, and Head Start, a program focused on early childhood education. The legislation also established community action programs designed to empower local communities to fight poverty by giving them control over how federal funds were spent. The Economic Opportunity Act was a key element of Johnson's broader "Great Society" vision, which sought to eliminate poverty and racial injustice while improving education, healthcare, and housing. Though the Act faced criticism for its effectiveness and implementation, it marked a significant federal commitment to social welfare. It laid the groundwork for subsequent anti-poverty programs and remains a pivotal moment in the history of U.S. social policy.For context and as stated, the act set aside $1 billion for social programs. The richest American of the 1960s was J. Paul Getty, with a net worth of right around $1.2 billion. Therefore, the program set aside about 83% of the net worth of the wealthiest American of the day. If a similar program was enacted today, Elon Musk is the wealthiest American with a net worth of about $195 billion–so a comparable program would need to set aside approximately $162 billion for social welfare programs. Today, Job Corps has a yearly budget of just $1.8 billion and Head Start just $12.5 billion for a combined total of about $15 billion – we have quite a ways to go. A group advocating for changes to Ohio's redistricting process has filed a lawsuit against the Ohio Ballot Board, accusing it of misleading voters with biased language regarding a proposed constitutional amendment. The group, Citizens Not Politicians, argues that the board's nearly 900-word description of the measure, which will appear on the November ballot, is designed to prejudice voters against the amendment. The lawsuit asks the Ohio Supreme Court to require the board to use new, neutral language that complies with state law. The board's description suggests that voting "yes" would create a taxpayer-funded commission required to gerrymander districts, which the plaintiffs claim is misleading. The case is expected to be expedited due to the upcoming election.Ohio Redistricting Activists Sue Over GOP-Passed Ballot ProposalWalt Disney Co. has agreed to have a Florida wrongful death lawsuit resolved in court, reversing its earlier stance that the case should go to arbitration. The lawsuit was filed by Jeffrey Piccolo, whose wife, Kanokporn Tangsuan, died from an allergic reaction after dining at Raglan Road Irish Pub and Restaurant in Disney Springs, Orlando. The couple allegedly chose the restaurant due to Disney and Raglan's assurances about accommodating food allergies. Initially, Disney argued that it wasn't liable, claiming it had no control over the restaurant's operations. Later, Disney suggested the case should go to arbitration based on Piccolo's Disney+ subscription, the arbitration clause in the terms of service for that streaming service, and his use of the company's website. However, Disney has now decided to waive arbitration to expedite the case in court, expressing a desire to address the family's loss with sensitivity.Disney agrees to have Florida wrongful death lawsuit decided in court | ReutersU.S. expatriates are frustrated with the IRS's proposed rules on foreign-trust reporting, particularly regarding the classification and reporting of foreign retirement plans. Many foreign retirement accounts are considered foreign trusts, requiring Americans abroad to report them to the IRS, which can be complex and unclear. Despite the IRS's efforts to revise these rules, expatriates and tax professionals feel that the new proposals don't provide enough clarity on who needs to report and which retirement plans are affected, leaving many in financial uncertainty. Over 1,500 comments were submitted to the IRS, with expatriates expressing anxiety and confusion about their obligations. Practitioners highlight that the ambiguity in these rules can lead to severe penalties for non-compliance, making it difficult for taxpayers to understand their responsibilities. The IRS's public hearing on the matter is expected to focus heavily on the need for clearer guidance, particularly on foreign retirement plans, with calls for broader exemptions and more comprehensive relief.Americans Abroad Want Relief From IRS on Foreign-Trust ReportingThe EPA argues that the challengers to the Biden administration's power plant carbon limits are unlikely to succeed on the merits of their case. The EPA asserts that its carbon capture technology standard and related limits are based on well-established scientific and technical judgments, which fall within the agency's statutory authority under the Clean Air Act. The EPA's power plant carbon limits set new standards for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from coal and gas power plants, focusing on carbon capture and storage technology. The rule requires that existing long-term coal plants implement technology to capture 90% of their carbon dioxide emissions by 2032. It also mandates that medium-term coal plants co-fire with natural gas at 40% of their annual heat input by 2030. For new gas plants operating at a significant capacity, the same 90% carbon capture standard applies. The EPA argues that these standards are based on proven technologies that can feasibly reduce emissions, aligning with the agency's traditional regulatory approach of improving the environmental performance of individual power plants.The EPA contends that the rule adheres to the traditional regulatory approach by focusing on technologies that reduce emissions at individual sources, rather than enforcing a generation shift across the energy grid, as the Supreme Court found problematic in the earlier West Virginia v. EPA case. The EPA also argues that carbon capture technology is not only adequately demonstrated but also achievable within the set timelines, based on extensive evidence from current and past projects. Additionally, the EPA claims that the potential impact on coal plants, including possible closures, is incidental and does not invalidate the rule. They stress that the rule's compliance deadlines are reasonable and that states have flexibility in their implementation plans. The EPA concludes that a stay would cause irreparable harm by allowing continued carbon emissions and that the court should deny the stay applications.EPA Urges Supreme Court to Block Bid to Freeze Power Plant Rule This is a public episode.

We announce the winner of the Rabobank Good Deeds Competition - the Te Mata Tennis Club - in a small rural community near Raglan in the Waikato. The tennis club was strong in the 1970s through to the 1990s however in the late 90's the community club dwindled in numbers and the court condition deteriorated due to lack of use, and maintenance, leading to the eventual club cessation, with the last AGM in 2003. There has been significant population growth in Te Mata over the last 15 years as well as increased interest in tennis, and a group of locals - including a representative from the near-by school - recently re-established the club committee and started discussions around upgrading the courts. A project plan has now been developed with the aim of resurfacing the courts and upgrading the facilities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following yesterday first episode of TMTM:WWW we're hitting you with our second. Today we feature a wonderful conversation with Lucy Alford from The Dell Vineyard in Raglan. Planting on a family farm without much experience of wine, the Alford's have gone on to create award winning wines. Their 2022 Rosé picked up a major trophy at last year's Welsh Wine Awards. Not bad considering the battles fought against local wildlife.   Lucy talks about where she and her husband were first bitten by the wine bug (any chance of seeing some Welsh Carmenere?) and how they decided to actually plant a vineyard. A fairly young producer they've achieved great things already.   Listen in to the fabulous Lucy as she recounts the story of The Dell, including some wonderful Welsh mythology.   @welshwineweek @welshvineyardassociation @thedellvineyard #WelshWineWeek #Welshwine #podcast #wine #winecast @fergelias @wineman147

This episode was inspired by a recent experience I had at a breathwork workshop in Raglan. Throughout the breathing journey I got really emotional. My body wanted to release and cry and shake and hum and it was a lot, but I felt safe and I stayed connected to my higher self throughout. She was there with me from the very beginning. I could hear her say, “let it out, let it go,” without feeling embarrassed about it or like I was being judged. It reminded me that when we can connect to our higher self, that wise inner knowing, we are able to access qualities such as compassion. So I thought I would share more about higher self today, and how you can connect with yours to reach your highest potential. You will learn about: What ‘higher self' actually is and why it's so important Ways to access your higher selves wisdom How your higher self can guide you through difficult times Simple methods you can use to connect with your higher self daily How you can start closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be   Do you want to connect more deeply with your higher self? I'd love to support you, either through 1:1 coaching or my group program ‘Lighthouse'.

As Libby Kirkby-McLeod reports, many locals want it discharged onto land, but the council says that's an expensive and complex option.
