Construction of New Zealand's first large scale grid battery storage system has finished in Ruakākā, just south of Whangārei. The Meridian Energy project has storage capacity of 200 megawatt-hours, which is enough to power 60 thousand homes for two hours. It will provide greater resilience and reduce strain to the Northland power and reduce strain on the wider power supply. Guy Waipara, Meridian Energy General Manager Development, told Kerre Woodham the batteries are designed to be available at peak periods for the network. He says it's only part of the system, but it will play a really important part at the times where energy security is challenged. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Good news for Northlanders - as the Government settles on the Northern Expressway option. The new route will run from Warkworth, and be built over the Brynderwyn Hills east of the current route, then through Whangārei. The road across the Brynderwyns has suffered continued closures, since 2023's severe weather. NZ Herald political editor Thomas Coughlan says it's tipped to be a costly project - but a new road is needed. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Whangārei Mayor believes more people will accept a decision around water fluoridation - if it comes from councils. New Zealand First's new Members Bill seeks to remove the Director General of Health's central authority on fluoridation - and mandate binding local referendums. It comes as Whangārei District Council's under fire - as the only council refusing to fluoridate under current mandates. Mayor Vince Cocurullo says told Francesca Rudkin Whangārei's never fluoridated and is probably due for a referendum. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whangārei councillors have voted seven to six - with one abstainer - to reject the Director-General of Health's directive to fluoridate its water supply. Whangārei mayor Vince Cocurullo spoke to Corin Dann.

Workers earning over $180,000 will lose the right to raise unjustified dismissal claims under a new policy. Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden said the change allows more flexible dismissal processes for high-income employees. The policy aims to enhance labour market flexibility and will be introduced through the Employment Relations Amendment Bill next year. Workers making over $180,000 a year will no longer be able to raise an unjustified dismissal claim if they lose their job once a new Government policy takes effect. The upcoming change to the Employment Relations Act “will enable employers to ensure they have the right fit for their high-impact leadership and specialist roles”, Workplace Relations and Safety Minister Brooke van Velden said. The policy, described as a “more flexible dismissal process for high-income employees”, delivers on the Act-National coalition agreement to set an income threshold above which personal grievances cannot be pursued. “This policy is about offering workers and employers more choice when negotiating contracts. “Employers and employees are free to opt back into unjustified dismissal protection if they choose to or negotiate their own dismissal procedures that work for them,” van Velden said. She said the policy was “paving the way for the next generation of leadership” when she spoke to Mike Hosking on Newstalk ZB. “One of the classic cases of grievance from businesses is you want to take a chance on someone, but you're too afraid if something goes wrong, how on earth will it work out.” “You've got someone in the workforce who is maybe quite skilled, got a good attitude, but if you push them up to that next leadership level into management, you know, if it doesn't work out and they aren't a good fit, this allows you to move them on.” Van Velden said many people would have worked with a manager “who has led to poor productivity, low morale, and the boss and the workers are just sitting there and waiting for this person for years and years to want to move on”. The change would provide greater labour market flexibility and would benefit employers and workers, she said. “This policy allows employers to give workers a go in these high-impact positions without having to risk a costly and disruptive dismissal process if things don't work out.” The income threshold of $180,000 will cover about 3.4% of the workforce. The threshold will be adjusted annually to match increases in average weekly earnings. “The change will be progressed through the Employment Relations Amendment Bill, which I aim to introduce in 2025,” van Velden said. The income threshold refers to a regular base salary and excludes other income such as incentive payments and benefits like vehicle use. Employees earning over $180,000 will still be able to raise other types of personal grievances. Jaime Lyth is a multimedia journalist for the New Zealand Herald focusing on crime and breaking news.

Christopher Luxon says his visit to Malaysia and South Korea last week was a success.  The Prime Minister says it was an important chance to build connections with investors, like South Korean pension funds.  He told Mike Hosking that in one of their five pension funds, who he spoke to, they have $2.5 billion dollars to invest.  Luxon says they'd love to invest it in a four-lane highway from Auckland to Whangārei, but they didn't know about it.   He also believes the public service is getting on board with what the Government's trying to do.  Health Minister Dr Shane Reti has stepped in to scrap a policy prioritising young Māori and Pasifika people for some healthcare services in Hawke's Bay.  Luxon says he's not sure why they had this criteria, and says it's good to see Reti sorting it.  He told Hosking the public service has had to adjust to a new Government, with targets, action plans, and reviews for ministers.  LISTEN ABOVE   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

A leaked report from the investigation into allegations former Green MP Darleen Tana was involved in migrant exploitation reveals the difficulties the investigator encountered and why it took more than 100 days to complete. The report also claims Tana's husband, who is implicated in the allegations, gave evidence that “tended to obfuscate rather than elucidate”, which was one of the key difficulties holding up the investigation, and that Tana's evidence “evidence shifted over the investigation”. It comes after Tana resigned from the party and Green co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says she feels “utterly betrayed” and lied to by Tana, claiming the report proves the MP's actions fell short of expectations. Tana denies the report shows she was involved in migrant exploitation and claims the party had already made its decision regardless of the report's content. The allegations relate to Tana's husband Christian Hoff-Nielsen's bicycle company, in which claims of missing pay formed a complaint to the Employment Relations Authority (ERA). Hoff-Nielsen has denied the allegations. A section of investigator Rachel Burt's report, leaked to Newstalk ZB's Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive show, outlined the objective to ascertain whether Tana – who was reportedly involved in her husband's business – was “operationally involved in E-Cycles NZ when the breaches of employment standards or conditions are alleged to have taken place”. Burt admitted the investigation had been “complicated” as she could not compel witnesses to speak to her or direct what documents she could receive. “Consequently, in this investigation, I was presented by some witnesses with seemingly selective or partial information, and by others with information that was voluminous and relevance unclear,” the leaked report said. She identified key difficulties being the two complainants not wanting to meet her “at the outset” and only providing certain documents and people she deemed relevant not wanting to be interviewed. Burt also found Hoff-Nielsen had not provided a “coherent or consistent verbal account” and his evidence “tended to obfuscate rather than elucidate”. Christian Hoff-Nielsen, husband of Darleen Tana. Photo / Jason Oxenham “[Tana's] evidence shifted over the investigation with different explanations as to why that was so, requiring significant cross-referencing to earlier accounts and documentation to come to findings.” She added that a representative of a complainant also sent her 500 pages of “new and relevant” information just as she was finalising her draft report. “Consequently the investigation process took longer than anticipated, and coming to findings as required time-consuming and considered analysis.” Both Swarbrick and co-leader Marama Davidson had previously expressed frustration that the investigation had dragged on, lasting 114 days before Swarbrick spoke to media on Monday. Tana has been contacted for comment. In a statement, Green Party whip Ricardo Menéndez March said he would not provide comment on the report's contents until “all named parties have been consulted with”.

Labour's police spokeswoman, Ginny Andersen, claims Police Minister Mark Mitchell was “paid to kill people” and has asked him whether he kept a “tally of how many you shot” while providing private military services in Iraq.  Mitchell says Andersen's comments are “outrageous” and she should apologise. Andersen refused.  The pair appeared on Newstalk ZB this morning for their usual politics slot and they began discussing how some police stations contained mould and how it was an issue ignored by successive governments.  They then discussed Grant Robertson's retirement before host Mike Hosking asked both Andersen and Mitchell what they had done before entering politics.  Mitchell referenced his time working in hospitality, as a police officer and working overseas.  Police Minister Mark Mitchell believed Ginny Andersen's comments were outrageous. Photo / Mark Mitchell  Andersen then made a remark about the nature of work Mitchell had done overseas that led to her claim Mitchell had been “paid to kill people”.  After leaving the police, Mitchell worked as a security contractor in Iraq, eventually setting up a private security company for the military and private interests, of which he was chief executive.  Mitchell said his work included tasks commissioned by the United Nations such as freeing up supplies at ports controlled by criminal gangs so they could reach communities.  He said he was proud of his efforts delivering aid in countries like Pakistan, Somalia, Afghanistan and Iraq.  Mitchell also noted how politicians on the left had repeatedly attacked him for his past.  “In my view, [the left] try to do these character assassinations, and that's what they're about.”  Andersen continued, asking Mitchell: “Did you keep a tally on how many [people] you shot.”  She alleged Mitchell's company had earned $4 million a year through its work overseas.  Mitchell said the comments were outrageous and she should return and apologise.  “If that's alright with you, Mark, morally, and if that sits well with you, that's your choice.”  She claimed Mitchell had profited from shooting people, saying: “Free speech Mark, I'm allowed to have a view.”  Labour leader Chris Hipkins said he was aware of Andersen's comments, but had not yet heard the interview in full and wanted to speak to Andersen before making any comment.  In the past, Mitchell has defended the work he did in the Middle East after political opponents described him as a mercenary.  In 2017, he told the NZ Herald that label frustrated him.  “I wouldn't change anything I've done. I'm ... quietly proud, I'm not someone that shouts it from the rooftops — I'm a Kiwi after all. But I'm proud of the difference we made in people's lives in terms of their security and ability to get on with their lives.”  He pointed to work he had done such as opening mass graves with scientists from The Hague gathering evidence for the war crimes trial of Saddam Hussein.  “When you're opening mass graves and you're finding the remains of babies clinging to mums, it's a pretty clear reminder of the atrocities which were taking place. That was a very, very tough job for everyone involved. Instead of questioning why we were there, all it does is provide more resolve in terms of knowing there had to be changes made.”  Adam Pearse is a political reporter in the NZ Herald Press Gallery team based at Parliament.

The Health Minister is making zero promises about increased funding for struggling GP clinics that are deep in debt. However, Dr Shane Reti says he understands their pain and is working on the problem. A doctor at the Whangārei GP clinic originally set up by Dr Reti has revealed the practice is more than six figures in the red and is calling for urgent action to fix the broken system she believes put them in a hole.

It's the first single from IDLES' forthcoming fifth full-length, Tangk, due for release on February 16th via Partisan Records. IDLES frontman Joe Talbot says the new album will be full of enchantment. "I needed love. So I made it," he says in a press release. "I gave love out to the world and it feels like magic. This is our album of gratitude and power. All love songs. All is love." This cross-Atlantic collaboration came to be following some shows the two bands played together. As Talbot told NME, "If you don't ask, you don't get. By that point we'd been touring with them for a few weeks and knew they were lovely human beings. They took time out of their day off and took us to their studio. They were really accommodating and lovely, so hard-working, patient and awesome. They're sick.” Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this interview, Dr. Brian Whang, Medical Director of Lung Cancer Screening for Hartford Healthcare, discusses these new guidelines, what they mean, and why we should continue advocating for better lung cancer screening guidelines and awareness of this issue.

State Highway One over the Brynderwyn Hills, a vital passage linking Northland to the rest of the country, will fully close while damage done during Cyclone Gabrielle is repaired. Waka Kotahi says official closure dates and detour routes will be confirmed next month, working around key dates such as Waitangi Day and Easter. It's left business groups in the North frustrated at the lack of strong infrastructure, which they say is restricting the region's economic growth. Whangārei mayor Vince Cocurullo spoke to Corin Dann.

Homes in Northland are without power as the remains of cyclone Lola hit the top of the North Island. High winds have brought down lines across Northland - particularly in part of the Bay of Islands and Kaikohe, where more than 3,000 homes are cut off. Whangārei Mayor Vince Cocurullo spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

The lions and tigers are ready to roar again as Whangārei's Kamo Wildlife Sanctuary re-opens it doors on Saturday. But the park has a troubled past – and its future is uncertain.

THIS IS NOT A DRAMA CHANNEL. We've somehow traveled back in time to 2018, and Maddox has released a brand new video. I haven't talked to Maddox in lord knows how long, but the madman did what every other Youtuber is too chicken to do. Put out a video EXPOSING HIS WHANG. Sorry, I mean put out a video exposing Justin Whang. I called out Whang years ago for being a hack and the WORST type of Youtuber, a professional "Wikipedia Reader." Now Maddox is adding PLAGIARISM to Justin's list of crimes. But much more shocking than that, midway through the exposé this video takes a SHOCKING TWIST, revealing more nefarious schemes Whang was inserting himself into that will leave you GULPING. https://podawful.com/posts/2379  VIDEO: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KsGHkieLoqU  PIZZA FUND: http://podawful.pizza  RSS FEED: http://podawful.com/rss  YOUTUBE: http://awful.tube   DISCORD CULT: http://podawful.com/discord    TWITTER: http://podawful.com/twitter    INSTAGRAM: http://podawful.com/instagram    DLIVE: http://podawful.com/dlive  ODYSEE: http://podawful.com/odysee  FACEBOOK: http://podawful.com/facebook   MERCH: http://podawful.shop    http://podawful.com   #podawful #maddox #whang Pod Awful Is an anti-podcast hosted by Jesse P-S
