A new policy's been voted in by Auckland Council which will see housing developers pay a much greater share of future infrastructure costs. The council's looking to raise an extra six billion from developers to cover future infrastructure costs. Suburbs such as Redhills and Tamaki will have to up to pay three times as much as they did before – more than 70-thousand per new build. Head of strategy at Subdivide Simplified Troy Patchett talks to Heather du Plessis-Allan about the changes. LISTEN ABOVE.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When I saw Brian Tamaki on the news last night, he looked more pompous than ever. Pompous - not pious. Because he was the one who instructed his so-called followers to disrupt that drag artist's kids show and protest at the Auckland Rainbow Parade at the weekend. From the pictures I've seen, both of those events looked pretty ugly. His idea. Under his instructions. And I've had a gutsful of this guy. And we need to be condemning him in the strongest way possible. Because, it seems that's all we can do. Sadly. They were doing a particularly vigourous haka at the end of the parade. That wasn't free speech. That was hate. I saw one person saying on the news that Tamaki's Man Up crew is nothing more than a gang and should be treated that way. This person made particular mention of the gang patch legislation - saying that these guys ride around on motorbikes wearing patches, So why aren't they included in the gang patch ban? The organiser of the rainbow parade says there is a difference between freedom of speech and hate speech - and what we saw at the weekend was hate. And I completely agree. The parade organiser says it was clear that they had set-out to intimidate, to bully, and get their message of misinformation across. I agree they wanted to intimidate. And I agree they were a bunch of bullies. But I don't know about the misinformation bit, because you never get any information from these clowns (misinformation or otherwise). And, as per usual, we had weasel words from the Prime Minister when he was asked about it yesterday. He said he respects peoples right to free speech and he respects people's right to protest, but he said Tamaki's puppets “went too far”. You're damn right they went too far. Even by turning up, they went too far. What the PM should have done yesterday was condemn Brian Tamaki and his deluded followers in the strongest way possible. He should have done what Auckland mayor Wayne Brown did. He said it was nothing short of “thuggery”. Which is a great way to describe it. I thought Greens co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick was a bit light on it when she said that the rainbow community needs love and support, not hateful rhetoric. I know what she's saying, but I want her to condemn these people too. Because, for me, this wasn't free speech - it was hate speech. And remember that this kind of thing isn't new for this Destiny lot. You'll remember they got all excited about an event at the library in christchurch that time when there was an event with people in drag reading stories to kids. And there's no stopping them. Last night Tamaki was saying that he doesn't think they've gone far enough yet. And he challenged the Prime Minister to get show some fortitude and to do a Donald Trump, and declare that only two genders will be recognised in New Zealand. Male and female. So these guys are dangerous. Not because of their mickey mouse beliefs, but because of the way they express them. If someone doesn't like the idea of same sex people being in relationships - they're allowed to feel that way. If someone thinks we should go back to the way it used to be, with just boys and girls and men and women, they can think that too. Good luck to them. But when people take it to the next level - like we saw at the weekend - that's not ok by me. I tell you what else isn't ok. The fact that this outfit is out there bullying people - dishing out their hatred - and because they call themselves a church, they enjoy all the tax benefits that come with that. A few years back, some Destiny Church charities were removed from the charities register for not filing their annual tax returns. Before that happened, more than 70,000 people signed a petition calling for Charities Services to strip the church of its tax-exempt status. I've had a look at the register today and the Destiny Church New Zealand Trust is still there. There are still some regional branches registered as a charity too. Which is a rort. And, until the government delivers on its promise to crackdown on so-called “charities” not paying tax, we just have to accept that it is what it is. But that doesn't mean we have to sit back and let these people do what they want. We can't make them pay tax. We can't tell them to take their patches off - because they're not a gang. But we can stand up and tell them to pull their heads in.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Well after a wonderful weekend, a fabulous weekend, the incidents on Saturday afternoon and Saturday night were really disappointing. Increasingly, New Zealand is starting to feel like 1970's New Zealand, but without the good bits. We've got the racism, we've got the homophobia, but we don't have the housing affordability and the excellent education system. It's the 70s gone wrong. What is it with some people? Do we have to fight the good fight every single generation? A group of smug, righteous, deluded members of Destiny Church, led by that oleaginous, self-aggrandising, self appointed bishop Tamaki, pushed, shoved, and punched their way inside the Te Atatu Community Centre where a drag artist was hosting a child's science show. Nobody had been forced to take their children to the drag queen's science show. Classrooms weren't herded up and put on buses and made to go. This was a free choice made by parents who knew their children would enjoy seeing a Unicorn on two feet. Which is what drag artists look like. The children were not frightened by sequins and rainbows and colour, but they would have been terrified by thugs and yelling, shoving and crashing their way into the building. About 30 toddlers, young children and their parents sought refuge within the community centre by barricading themselves inside. Hours later, the same group broke through police barricades at the Auckland Rainbow Parade. There they made a complete nuisance of themselves and held up the parade with a haka. Destiny Church are perfectly free to protest. If they want to ignore the teachings of the New Testament, as I understand them - we all have our different readings of the Bible – but as I understand it, if Tamaki wants to instruct his followers to follow some interpretive dance version of the fire and brimstone Old Testament according to Tamaki, they want to hold up their signs and chant their slogans, fill your jackboots, do what you will. Everyone has the right to protest peacefully but storming into a community library, imposing their own version of how to live on others. No. Tamaki said there may have been some pushing and shoving, but that he would smack anyone who was trying to pervert his child in a room. Oh really? I wasn't going to go there, but seeing as Tamaki has, you'll have probably seen the posting that's been doing the rounds for some time now, the post that shows a chart: Two different groups have been convicted of sexually abusing children in New Zealand between 1990 and 2022. Drag Queens on one side, church leaders and members on the other. Number of drag Queens have been convicted of the sexual abuse of children over 32 years. None. Not one. Number of church members have been convicted of the sexual abuse of children over 32 years. 22. That is the tip of the iceberg. So yeah, when it comes to perversion, Tamaki might want to have a long look at the history of church groups over the past few years. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The discussion revolves around a controversial letter signed by 400 church leaders denouncing the Act Party's Treaty Principles Bill. The episode delves into themes of free speech, democracy, and the historical and contemporary role of the church in public discourse. The conversation explores differing views on whether the push to stop the bill from going to select committee stifles public debate and the broader implications for free speech in New Zealand.Support the showhttps://www.fsu.nz/https://x.com/NZFreeSpeechhttps://www.instagram.com/freespeechnz/https://www.tiktok.com/@freespeechunionnz

At this year's San Diego Comic-Con, the family was at the forefront of DC creators' minds. We couldn't escape the topic when discussing superheroics. Plus, we've been pretty anxious on the podcast, contemplating the ramifications of city saviors placing their loved ones above the citizens of Gotham City and Metropolis. Does the person on the street want Superman to have a son? A wife? A cousin? Thankfully, we can corner Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki at the DC booth and force them to process our ridiculous worries. In October, Mark Waid and Chris Samnee return to the early days of Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson in Batman and Robin: Year One. The twelve-issue maxi-series promises to delve into their unique relationship, revealing how Bruce Wayne learned to parent while keeping Joker behind bars. During the same month, Waid and Mariko Tamaki will share Action Comics as the Superman ongoing goes weekly. Waid, alongside artist Clayton Henry, will focus on Kal-El's problems post-Absolute Power while Mariko Tamaki and artist Skler Partridge continue their deep dive into Supergirl's inner life. For the first half of today's episode, we speak with Mark Waid two-on-one, digging into Bruce and Dick's getting-to-know-you phase. We discuss Bruce's lack of familial role models, his inability or unwillingness to see Alfred as a father, and how he wanted Absolute Power to speak to the moment. In the back half, we have both Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki on our microphone. We then focus on the Superman family, paying particular attention to Supergirl and the secrets Tamaki is unveiling to her readers. The first issue of Batman and Robin: Year One lands in comic shops on October October 16th. Mark Waid and Mariko Tamaki join Action Comics on issue 1070, which arrives on October 9th.

Now a new exhibition at Toi o Tamaki, Auckland Art Gallery, seeks to explore the role women artists had at shaping the art of the time. It's called Modern Women: Flight of Time, and combines more than 80 paintings, sculptures, prints and textiles from well-known artists like Rita Angus and Frances Hodgkins - to those who are lesser known. The exhibition takes its name from the book that accompanies it, offering more detail of the featured artists and their work.

I never expected that my degree in Forestry from Wageningen University would come in handy at this late stage of my life.  Thank you, Jack!  Pruning plants in the garden is something that most gardeners can learn reasonably quickly. Yes, there will be some mistakes along the way, but hey! That's how you gain experience.  Hedges are the next stage up in competence – they are often large plants (or really small trees). The key to pruning hedges is to do it relatively frequently – say 3 times per year or even more. Every time to take a bit off the hedge, you cut the terminal buds off (the buds at the end of a twig or branch). This in itself causes the lateral buds, a little bit lower down, to grow out and take over from the terminal buds.  In the case of hedge plants, this will make them a lot more dense, especially if a few lateral buds will grow out at different levels, taking over from that one terminal bud you just removed.  Pruning trees is based on similar botanical systems, but tackling that big stuff requires a course or three in arboriculture, safety and balance.  Some trees are pretty easy to tackle: your plane tree is a great example. Go and visit Franklin Road in Auckland and you'll see how you can pollard those monsters every few years by cutting them back to the required height, and keep them there for decades to come; the same with the willows in the Netherlands.  Pohutukawa are different again; they can be trimmed in a few ways. I saw an elaborate pruning gig going on at Ngapipi Road (off Tamaki drive), whereby a substantial pohutukawa was pruned like a hedge (no doubt complaints about interrupted views from the locals on the opposite side of the road).  That might do the trick, but a pohutukawa is not naturally a dense hedge. Usually, it looks like a rather open tree with lots of space for birds to fly through.  This is the way you maintain that open tree configuration: cut a few branches out of the middle and pick them at various heights so it doesn't look too bland and butchered.  Remember, every tree has its own “natural” look. It pays to trim it in such a way that it will maintain that look.  Here is a schematic picture of how I would suggest pruning such trees and keep them looking good.  1) It's always best to start pruning a tree early; the smaller the wound, the faster it heals, and there is less reactive growth.  2) When you want to reduce a tree, it's best to start when it's approx 1-2 meters taller than you want it.  3) If trees are important in your garden and in your life, sniff out an experienced arborist who loves the trees just as much as you do. Look for arborists that are members of the NZArb association - It's probably best to avoid having work done by someone who comes door-knocking.  4) Spend some time running through the way the job will be executed; you can make it “arty”.  5) Have a chat to the neighbours about what the plans are and why (privacy, biodiversity, bird food).  6) Take the day of the “operation” off work and be part of the team as much as possible.  Honestly: it's the way to achieve the best possible outcome for your garden, the trees, the planet!  “Thinning” Photo / ISA (International Society of Arboriculture)  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Heather du Plessis-Allan: It's time to punish protestors properly

Turns out, the person who painted over the rainbow crossing on Auckland's K road 3 weeks ago is related to Brian Tamaki by marriage - what a surprise. He is married to Brian Tamaki's granddaughter and is the father of, I think four, of Tamaki's great-grand kids. The reason I'm not surprised is - of course Destiny Church was doing this with the rainbow crossings in Gisborne earlier. Anyway, today he appeared in court and pleaded guilty - and was convicted, discharged and fined $16,000. Now as far as I can tell,  this is the toughest sentence given in recent times to a protestor who caused damage, but is it really tough? A $16,000 fine sounds a lot, until you hear they're not particularly worried about the fine because already a supporter has pledged $5,000 to help out. And sure, a criminal record sucks - but not that much when your daily life doesn't even break its stride because you're not going to jail or do anything as punishment. I'm going to repeat myself because I've said this before - the courts need to impose sentences that will deter other protestors who damage stuff from doing it as well. And yet, at the moment, that's not what I'm seeing. Remember the climate protestor who sprayed red paint all over the luxury car sales yard in Wellington? She was discharged without conviction, ordered to pay half the water-blasting bills, plus give another $500 to charity -and that was about it. Protest has, particularly in recent years - and particularly led by the climate activists - gone from being peaceful marching and waving of placards and shouting to now including damage of property, kind of as a matter of course. This is a big problem overseas with the climate activists throwing paint at valuable pieces of art on display. And here in New Zealand, it's kind of being imported. We had the spraying of the car yard in Wellington, the spraying of a car yard in Auckland, we had the abseiler deface the Treaty exhibition at Te Papa, we had the Destiny Church guys vandalise the rainbow crossing in Gisborne- and now this.  You don't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out that if you don't adequately punish something, it will be repeated. You just have to be a human to know that because it's human behaviour. Case in point today - Brian Tamaki is proud of what his grandson-in-law did. They don't really care about the fine.  Now tell me if that's going to deter others from, next time they're really angry about something, just damaging some property to prove how angry they are. Probably not, so expect more until we start properly punishing people who deliberately damage other people's stuff in the name of protest.

Kainga Ora shut its shared home ownership programme at the end of September, just six weeks after expanding it. The first home partner programme helps buyers who do not have enough of a deposit by paying for up to a maximum of 25 percent of the purchase price of the house or $200,000 - whichever is lower. Applicants needed to have at least a 5 percent deposit. Kainga Ora had six weeks earlier expanded the programme from solely new build properties to include existing houses as well. Kainga Ora declined to be interviewed on the topic - stating that the current political landscape made it inappropriate for it to be speaking on government policy. But a spokesperson said the change to include existing homes led to a 450 per cent increase in the number of applications it had received, leading to the scheme being fully subscribed. Stuart Wills has been a mortgage broker for some 25 years and operates Mortgage Managers out of Auckland. He also set up a popular Facebook page - Kiwi First Home Buyers Group - to promote discussion among buyers. He's in the Auckland studio.

Ralph welcomes award-winning foreign correspondent Stephen Kinzer to discuss America's bloody history of proxy wars. They'll also discuss the mainstream media's "shameful" coverage of the war in Ukraine, the warhawks on Capitol Hill, and the catastrophic trickle-down effects of American military meddling.Stephen Kinzer is an award-winning foreign correspondent who has covered more than 50 countries on five continents. Mr. Kinzer spent more than 20 years working for the New York Times, most of it as a foreign correspondent. After leaving the Times in 2005, Mr. Kinzer taught journalism, political science, and international relations at Northwestern University and Boston University. He is now a Senior Fellow at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University and writes a world affairs column for The Boston Globe.We attacked Libya in complete violation of international law, but in accordance with the system that we have used as a substitute for international law. And that's what we call the “rules-based international order.” That's our alternative to international law. And the rules-based international order is great for us because we're the ones that make the rules. We decide everything. We decide who's making war, who's not making war, who's good, who's bad, who needs to be punished, who doesn't need to be punished. Under international law, we can't do that because countries are treated more equally. So I think this is the real way we have turned away from both international law and our own domestic law—we've said that they're all superseded by the rules-based international order, which is a nice way of saying everybody has to do what the United States decides.Stephen KinzerA mantra in Congress is “Israel has a right to defend itself.” But no one ever says in Congress “the Palestinians have a right to defend themselves,” and they take casualty counts anywhere from 40 to 100 times greater in terms of innocent civilians, killed or injured. The Iranians apparently have no right to defend themselves… What is this inverted sense that these countries that are legitimately threatened, that have been overthrown… What's this mindset in official Washington that nobody threatened by the US or Israel has a right to defend themselves?Ralph NaderIn Case You Haven't Heard with Francesco DeSantis1. On Monday, the Writers' Guild of America announced that they have reached an interim agreement with the studios. The proposed deal includes minimum writing room sizes, pay increases, a ban on writing by generative AI programs, and disclosures of streaming numbers with residuals to match, to name just a few of the top line wins for the union. The agreement still needs to be formally submitted to the Guild membership for ratification, but this marks the end of the second longest strike in the WGA's history.2. AP reports that earlier this week, President Biden joined the United Autoworkers on the picket line. This is the first time ever a sitting president has joined a picket line. “Donning a union ballcap and exchanging fist bumps, Biden told United Auto Workers strikers that ‘you deserve the significant raise you need'” and urged the workers to “stick with it.” Biden made this move in part because former President Donald Trump also addressed autoworkers in a speech this week, though he did so at a non-union plant away from the picket line. UAW president Shawn Fain deemed Trump's address to non-union workers “pathetic irony,” per FOX 2 Detroit.3. Senator Bob Menendez of New Jersey is facing a mammoth corruption scandal involving fraudulent halal meat from Egypt and $100,000 worth of gold bars. Per the BBC, Menendez has been forced to resign his chairmanship of the powerful Senate Foreign Relations Committee. Yet, the powerful New Jersey Senator has not resigned his seat, even as a growing chorus of top Democrats have called on him to do so – including New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy, New Jersey Senator Cory Booker, Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman, Nancy Pelosi, Bernie Sanders, and many more. One possible upside to all of this is that Menendez's departure from his post on the Foreign Relations Committee could pave the way for a more rational American policy towards Cuba.4. In more Cuba news, NBC reports that on September 24th, the Cuban embassy in Washington was attacked. The assailant hurled two molotov cocktails at the diplomatic mission; fortunately, the diplomatic staff were unharmed. No arrests have been made. This follows a 2020 attack, when a man shot “nearly three dozen rounds” at the embassy from an AK-47.5. CNN reports that the FTC and the attorneys general of 17 states have filed a lawsuit against Amazon,   alleging that “Amazon unfairly promotes its own platform and services at the expense of third-party sellers who rely on the company's e-commerce marketplace for distribution.” Specific examples of the e-commerce giant's anticompetitive practices include “requiring sellers on its platform to purchase Amazon's in-house logistics services in order to secure the best seller benefits, [and forcing] sellers to list their products on Amazon at the lowest prices anywhere on the web, instead of allowing sellers to offer their products at competing marketplaces for a lower price.” Hopefully, this reinvigorated consumer protection regime will serve as a deterrent to other would-be corporate criminals.6. Kyodo News reports Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki recently addressed the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva, and used the opportunity to rail against the proposed US military base in the Japanese-controlled territory. Tamaki noted that the base “was clearly opposed by Okinawan voters in a democratically held referendum" and that the installation of the base would threaten regional peace. Okinawa already hosts most of the American military presence in Japan.7. Variety reports that Anil Kapoor, an A-list actor in India, has won his legal battle against AI. The court “granted an order…acknowledging [Kapoor's] personality rights and restraining all offenders from misusing his personality attributes without his permission in any manner…across all modes and media worldwide.” Kapoor also noted that “My intention is not to interfere with anyone's freedom of expression or to penalize anyone. My intent was to seek protection of my personality rights and prevent any misuse for commercial gains, particularly in the current scenario with rapid changes in technology and tools like artificial intelligence.”8. Finally, the Orchard reports that On September 22nd, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy addressed the Canadian House of Commons. In attendance was Yaroslav Hunka, a 98 year-old veteran who, according to the CBC “fought for Ukrainian independence against the Russians during the Second World War.” Students of history quickly put two and two together, deducing that this “veteran” was in fact a soldier in the 14th Grenadier Division of the Waffen SS, otherwise known as the Galician Division. Prime Minister Trudeau also held a private audience with this Nazi. Uproar in Canada proved so great that the Speaker of the Canadian House of Commons, Anthony Rota, was forced to resign, per the CBC. Furthermore, Polish officials have now formally requested that Hunka be extradited to Poland to face charges for atrocities committed by the Galician SS Division during WWII.
