The Education Minister's stressing schools can still be flexible as the Government pulls the plug on open plan classrooms. It was introduced by John Key's Government in 2011. Erica Stanford announced yesterday all new builds will now have more traditional layouts. She told Kerre Woodham there are good examples in the best modern learning environments. She's also looking into helping fund schools to modify existing open-plan rooms. Stanford told Woodham she's tasking the school property agency to look into ways to help schools revert their teaching spaces. In the meantime, she says, schools have five year property budgets, with a category for classroom modifications they can use. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Pak'nSave shoppers seem to be getting the best deal. A recent study by Foodstuffs North Island has found that New Zealand stores offer the lowest grocery prices when compared to leading retailers in Australia and the UK. The study compared 20 everyday necessities, and after adjusting for sales tax and exchange rates, Pak'nSave came out on top – cheaper than Woolworths NZ, Woolworths Australia, Tesco UK, and Aldi Australia. Foodstuff North Island CEO Chris Quin told Kerre Woodham that when they look at that data, there's a really competitive, innovative story being told. He says they don't have price match guarantees because there's just too many products to cover. Quin says supermarkets may hold up to 18 thousand different products so it would be too tricky to match them all. He told Woodham they have more holistic aims. Quin says for Pak N Save stores it's about getting the cheapest basket possible, and with New World it's about providing a good shopping experience.

Kiwis are being urged to stay calm and stay the course as stock markets tumble. There's global uncertainty off the back of Donald Trump's sweeping tariffs, and investment funds like KiwiSaver have been taking a hit. Mortgage brokers have been facing concerns from first-home buyers, wondering what to do about the slump in their balance as they look to purchase. Personal Finance Journalist Mary Holm told Kerre Woodham that people should always keep money they plan to spend soon out of high-risk funds. She says that if you plan on spending a significant chunk of money within the next two to three years, you should request your KiwiSaver moved to the lowest risk fund. For those who cut it close, Holm says to sit tight. She told Woodham that share markets often overreact to economic events like the tariffs, and they'll recover eventually.

Labour's leader says the US tariffs on New Zealand aren't justified in a retaliatory sense. A US chart states New Zealand imposes 20% tariffs on US imports, and Chris Hipkins is wondering if this includes GST, which isn't a tariff. He told Kerre Woodham New Zealand's one of the world's lowest no-tariff countries. Hipkins also says New Zealand won't just be impacted by the tariffs directly imposed on us, but we could be hit harder by indirect knock-on effects from the higher amounts Trump is imposing on other countries. The Labour leader says the party's learned from its last stint in Government. Hipkins says the Labour Government tried to do too many things at once, preventing them from doing many things well enough. He says watching the current Government has made him reflect on another lesson. Hipkins told Woodham the Government had also spent too much consulting and asking people what they thought, and sometimes people just want them to get on with it.

Divisions are deepening between the US and other western countries over Ukraine, and now trade. The US President's slapped a 25% tariff on all Canadian and Mexican imports, and 20% on some from China. Canada's responded by imposing the same amount back, which Donald Trump says he'll match again. Former Trade Minister and Ambassador to the US Tim Groser told Kerre Woodham countries like Canada are fighting the US on trade, while trying to form closer security ties. He says that the two strategies are inherently in conflict with each other – you can't start a trade war with someone you want to curry favour with. Groser told Woodham he argues that even if Trump was next to them right now, he also wouldn't be able to say what the end game is. He says it's difficult to sift through and find the real logic of the situation, resulting in unprecedented uncertainty. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Hints from the Prime Minister around upcoming changes to charities and taxes. Christopher Luxon told Kerre Woodham the Goverment's speaking about whether people are "rorting the system" and taking advantage of charities registration. He says he spoke with Finance and Economic Growth Minister, Nicola Willis, about the matter just yesterday. Luxon told Woodham some organisations present as a charity but maybe aren't doing charitable work. He's telling people to keep their eyes on the Budget - around taxation and charity status. The Prime Minister's also calling for some nurses to take on roles outside hospitals to ease burden on the system. Christopher Luxon admitted we've got a lot of nurses coming through the system, but don't always have places for them in hospitals. Luxon told Kerre Woodham we desperately need them in primary and aged care, and in some cases, it takes weeks to get a GP appointment. He says there's an opportunity to think about how we use our nurses - like nurse practitioners who can increasingly do the work a GP does. The Prime Minister's also keen to reach across the political aisle in a bid to secure a bipartisan approach to infrastructure. Luxon revealed he's been in conversation with Labour's finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds, who's supportive of elements of the Government's infrastructure pipeline plan. Luxon told Woodham that for the Government to actually get things done when it comes to the country's infrastructure problems, a bipartisan solution must be found.

"It was the right thing for the UK": Boris Johnson 'unapologetic' about Brexit Boris Johnson is unapologetic about taking his country out of the European Union. He's in New Zealand for a speaking event and to promote his book 'Unleashed'. The former British Prime Minister says while there was panic about Brexit at the time, in the long term it's been good for the UK. He told Kerre Woodham that the split from the EU came in handy during the Covid pandemic. He says it allowed the country to get early access to vaccines before other European countries. Johnson says the massive Conservative loss in this year's UK General Election can't be blamed on him. The Conservative Party's defeat by Keir Starmer's Labour was one of its worst-ever losses. Johnson told Woodham had he and Rishi Sunak teamed up, it would have been a different result. He says if they'd been able to put into action some things they'd planned, they would have wiped the floor with Starmer. He's denied any responsibility for the conflict between Ukraine and Russia, and says progress has been slow since he left office. The former Prime Minister says it's "absolute bollocks" to suggest the UK could have a role in negotiating peace between Ukraine and Russia. Johnson says the West has a pathetic paranoia about humiliating Vladimir Putin - and is too half-hearted in helping Ukraine. He says he's fed up with hearing the nonsense idea we'd risk a nuclear confrontation. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Christopher Luxon says he wants nothing to do with the Greens while he's Prime Minister. Luxon's confirmed a National-Greens Coalition wasn't off the cards when James Shaw was co-leader of the Green Party. But he says the party has changed significantly under new leadership. The Prime Minister told Kerre Woodham he had great respect for Shaw and his commitment to the environment, and would have been prepared to work with him. But he says the Greens have since moved to what he calls a more "socialist" position. Luxon says the Government has not handled changes to Oranga Tamariki contracts well. A children's charity is suing the Ministry for allegedly cancelling a $21 million contract which still has two-and-a-half years to run. Stand Tū Māia says losing funding will end the service, which has a 100 year history of providing trauma care for children and whanau. Luxon told Woodham the organisation has done some great work. He says the matter is before the court so he can't comment much, but he has raised the issue with the Children's Minister this week. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's generally accepted that children need good stories. It's not generally accepted that good stories are the most important thing read to children. We moderns think of fiction as a treat, a bonus, or an escape; it's nice but certainly not something we have to require for school. This is why many new classical moms find themselves confused while looking over a book list of The Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and The Secret Garden for next term. If education is about the future, then we have a question: Shouldn't I give my children real stories to prepare them for the real world?I'm joined by Rachel Woodham to discuss how stories are a better preparation for Reality and why every mother-teacher should create her list of Reads of Requirement for her home.Footnotes for this episodeMudd and Sapphires | SubstackThe Still Point | CiRCE Institute column“Harry Potter, Read of Requirement”“No Bottom: Delighting in Shakespeare with the Young”Chance or the Dance?: A Critique of Modern Secularism, Thomas HowardTil We Have Faces, C.S.

For 25 years, Gareth Woodham has worked as a property valuer in multiple Australian jurisdictions, and he is regularly called in as an expert to provide valuations in family law matters and commercial property disputes. Here, he fleshes out what such work looks like and what practitioners can learn from an outside expert like himself. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy speaks with Augmen Consulting principal valuer Gareth Woodham about what a day in the life of a property valuer looks like, what his process is in valuing properties and the extent to which such determinations are reactive and/or proactive, and his involvement in legal proceedings. Woodham explains how and why valuers like himself are engaged for legal proceedings, the types of litigation and family law disputes that he typically works on, the increase in family law matters in recent times and what his litigation work is like, the “high stakes” in reaching valuations, how best practitioners can work with valuers, and his advice to lawyers involved in disputes that valuers are engaged for.

Labour leader Chris Hipkins admits his party's Auckland light rail and KiwiBuild policies were “undeliverable” when proposed ahead of the 2017 election. Hipkins, speaking to Newstalk ZB this morning, made the concession amid his reflections on the 2023 election campaign in which he believed Labour struggled to resonate with voters who had “decided it was time for a change”. The Remutaka MP joined ZB host Kerre Woodham for an hour of discussion and talkback. Woodham pressed Hipkins on Labour's woeful result in the last election, receiving less than 27 per cent of the vote. Hipkins accepted now was the time to rebuild and assess whether the policies Labour took to the election needed to be revised. Woodham questioned whether Labour's inability to implement some of its policies during its six years in government was a primary contributor to the party's demise. Hipkins then admitted not all of Labour policies as proposed ahead of the 2017 election were deliverable. “You can't always come in with delivery-ready policies in the way that I think we thought you could,” he said. “Auckland light rail and KiwiBuild were massive commitments, and the reality is they were too ambitious to do from Opposition. We shouldn't have gone into the campaign promising those two things.” Labour leader Chris Hipkins told Newstalk ZB host Kerre Woodham his party needed to rebuild. Photo / Michael Craig In 2017 under then-leader Jacinda Ardern, Labour promised to build light rail from the Auckland CBD to the airport within a decade. However, progress stalled and any recent work on developing light rail in Auckland had been scrapped by the current Coalition Government. KiwiBuild promised 100,000 affordable homes across the country within 10 years, but that target had to be dropped as it was deemed overly ambitious. “Light rail is not undeliverable, but the way it was proposed in 2017 was undeliverable and KiwiBuild, the 100,000 [homes] in the timeframes that they were talking about was also undeliverable.” On the most recent election campaign, Hipkins argued it “didn't really matter” what Labour campaigned on as people wanted change. “That was a very difficult mood to shift.” At the party's recent caucus retreat, Hipkins said MPs would be discussing what tax policy platform Labour would run on in the 2026 election campaign after Hipkins' proposal to strip GST off fresh fruit and vegetables failed to impress voters. MPs David Parker and Grant Robertson, who last night gave his valedictory speech, had worked up a wealth tax proposal ahead of the election but this was shot down by Hipkins. Just this week, Hipkins conceded the Labour Government should have done more to address public concerns about unruly state housing tenants as the current Government seeks to use the threat of eviction to improve behaviour. He referenced the matter this morning, saying he thought Kāinga Ora was “too slow” to relocate people as an alternative option to eviction.

The Prime Minister, Christopher Luxon, in his State of the Nation speech over the weekend, spelled it out loud and clear for those who haven't yet got the message.  New Zealand is in for a world of pain over the next couple of years. He slammed the dumb and stupid policies of the previous government, and said while he believed New Zealand was the world's best country, and had the world's best people (a little bit of jingoism to sweeten the message), it was in a fragile state as we face a rough economic forecast and a massive infrastructure deficit.  He also accused the Labour government of leaving National a $200 billion hole in the nation's transport plan. Finance Minister Nicola Willis said this morning on the Mike Hosking Breakfast that the coalition government has already started making the tough decisions. Auckland Light Rail is the case in point. That was a project which continued to escalate in cost, which Labour continued to fantasise about and which was clearly unaffordable. So we have canceled that, we've been decisive, we've stopped pouring cash down that particular hole. But look, the other examples are areas where we're just going to have to do things more efficiently.  Not every road needs a cycle lane clipped onto it. We need to be much more open to using other forms of funding and finance to deliver roads, whether that's time of use charging, whether that's tolls to get some roads built, it's time for a bit of real talk about what it will take to get a country with the modern infrastructure we need. And that was Finance Minister Nicola Willis talking to Mike Hosking this morning. Labour leader Chris Hipkins shot back, calling National's accusations absolute nonsense and called another allegation in the State of the Nation speech an out and out lie. But then he would wouldn't he? Thomas Coghlan from the New Zealand Herald has produced an excellent article unpacking the claims and counterclaims, specifically around the $200 billion transport hole. He says the truth involves a heavy lathering of hypocrisy on both sides and an answer that doesn't offer a neat binary verdict on either of Chris's truthfulness or otherwise. He does say, though, that before Labour cries foul at this horrendous below- the-belt attack on their fiscal honour, quote unquote, we shouldn't forget that Labour made the exact same attack on National's allegedly unfunded Roads of National Significance Programme back in 2018.  They were slammed by then Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern as unfunded.  So they've been doing it all day ref. There's obfuscation and finessing of stats and data and what have you , but there is absolutely no doubt, as anyone who has participated in this show knows, that the previous administration made some dumb, dumb decisions. And allowed dumb, dumb decisions to be made by government bodies.  We've all known this for a very, very long time. We've been ranting about this and accused of being disloyal and Labour haters and women haters because it was Jacinda Ardern who was the Prime Minister. There was none of that. It was just that you and I could see. That there were some really stupid decisions being made. Good money going after bad with no end in sight of when the money tap would be turned off. And it's you and me who are providing this money. So pardon me if I'm really scrupulous about where that money goes. I want to know there's going to be a result and for the life of me I could not see one in so many of the projects approved by the previous administration.  I think I said that to Christopher Luxon when he became Prime Minister. We don't want to hear about what the previous government did. It's gone. It happened. It's appalling. We ranted about it at the time it's over but I think he made the point, we're starting a very long way behind the start line. There's a lot to fix before we can even begin to get projects underway that we passionately believe in and that we passionately support. So yeah, I think fair and square pointing the digit at the previous administration and saying look at this mess you've left us, it's a time honoured tradition New administrations do it every single time they come in, and in this case it's a far bigger mess.  It's going to be a tough few years. There is no doubt about that. We're all going to have to lift our game and tighten our belts. I mean, basically. You know when Christopher Luxon was talking about the nation, he's talking about my bank account. He's looking at the macro and I'm looking at the micro and it's the same kind of thing. It's going to be a belt tightening couple of years and some of the nice to haves that I'd like to have I won't have. And it's the same for the nation. But National will bear the brunt of public dissatisfaction if people forget or choose not to know that they are cleaning up a far bigger mess than the previous government has had to.  Still, on a note of positivity, those of us with long memories know that we have been through tough times before, that other governments have had to come in and pick up an unholy mess and make the most of it, and with the help of the people of New Zealand get the country back on track and they've come out the other side. We have done it before and we can do it again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

I can't help but enjoy the rich irony.   NIWA, the Crown owned weather research institute, has had a big spend up on its vehicle fleet. Four big, grunty Chevy Silverados to be exact - 2024 models, apparently judging by the regos, retailing to you and to me for around $ 172K.   Although I have no doubt that NIWA managed to squeeze that down a bit —I hope they did, I hope they negotiated— the utes were bought despite the fact that the government is currently trying to reduce the emissions from all the vehicles it owns.   Agencies must purchase battery EV's, or if they're not suitable, a plug-in hybrid. If neither of those are suitable, the agency's chief executive has the ability to sign off on a different vehicle. Mainly an ICE vehicle.   NIWA is a Crown-owned enterprise, so it isn't bound by these rules, but according to the protocol, it must have regard for the rules. NIWA's chief executive John Morgan signed off on the purchases being necessary given the weight of the boats the cars will be towing.   “We investigated all the options in the market,” he said. “There was no viable alternative to the Silverado's given the weight of the boats they'll be towing. We test drove a wide range of trucks, large and mid-sized Utes in a variety of real-world driving conditions to determine what was going to be the most suitable and safest for our staff. There are no Bev or PHV options available that can perform the role required.”   No, and I think that's the point.  I would have no problem with this at all if it weren't for the virtue signalling. It's not just virtue signalling, but real-life implications for real-life businesses.  Remember when we were talking about the greenhouse auditing that the banks are requiring of their customers? Several New Zealand banks have pledged to ensure their investment and lending portfolios are aligned to net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. Banks are ‘helping' (which is a loaded word) business customers reach for net zero with lower interest rates for hitting sustainability targets and by helping firms with transition plans. So what that means, and what businesses told us was happening, was that when they apply for a loan or when every year they must reply to their bank.   What are you doing to offset your emissions within your business? How are you reducing your impact on the environment? You have to show your commitment or risk financial penalties. You get threatened with higher interest rates on loans or no loans at all. Farmers know all about that.  If you're not performing, Fonterra won't pick up your milk. If you are not committed to reducing your greenhouse gas emissions as much as you possibly can, there are real world financial penalties.    We had the owner of a transport firm ringing when we were discussing this. He wanted a loan to buy a new truck. Whoever was on the end of the phone is committed to changing the world, obviously, but probably hasn't driven a truck before, said, well, have you looked at an electric truck? And he said yes, I have. I'm not a Neanderthal. (Of course, he didn't say that I'm exaggerating). But he said, you know. Yes, I have looked at alternatives, but there is nothing on the market at the moment that is going to be able to do the job I need.   Well, you better start looking further afield because there's going to be higher interest rates if you are committed to ICE engines in the future. You know, if you want a loan, hmmm, there may well be higher interest rates in the in the next couple of years.   So there are real world implications for people who have no alternative.  Blind ideology and desire do not create vehicles fit for purpose. Just wanting them to work doesn't make them so.   So, there's NIWA with its noble mission statement on its website: “The challenges of reducing our national greenhouse gas emissions and adapting to a changing climate are hugely important and affect all New Zealanders.”  What they mean is except us, because we need big grunty ships to tow our boats! And they do. And setting aside the emissions from a big grunty Chev, what about the cost when the public service is being squeezed so hard, the pips are squeaking?   A Chevy Silverado goes for $172K, a Ford Ranger goes for $90K and I've seen plenty of Ford Rangers pulling big boats heading north over summer. Can a Ford Ranger not tow NIWA's boats? It's just the disconnect between the real world and ideology.   If NIWA have test driven all these different utes and said these are the vehicles we need to do the job, fine. But at the same time, they said these are the vehicles we need to do the job because there are no alternatives. But then private business should be able to say that too and not be quizzed by their banks, and not have to do a greenhouse audit when the alternative doesn't exist yet.   DOC's the same. Remember that lovely conservation worker who left. They were choppering in coal to the camper's huts. You could not use the wood that had fallen over in a storm for the heaters and the cookers within the huts, you had to chopper in bloody coal.    When ideology collides with the real world, it makes for a hell of a splat.  NIWA and DOC and the like, banging on about climate change, and rightly so, but they're not walking the talk because they can't. The technology they need doesn't exist yet, and they need to realise, and the government needs to realise, and the ideologs need to realise, and the Green Party needs to realise, that it's the same for the poor grunts who are trying to run their businesses, and pay their taxes that pay for these bloody utes.   Sure, encourage people to transition into environmentally friendly alternatives when there are alternatives. But don't you dare punish people when they simply do not have a choice.   See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Conflict Within the Challenge!

Our guest today, Dr. Charlene Woodham Brickman, is an early childhood consultant and recess and play researcher. With a PhD in Early Childhood Education from Auburn University and a passion for children, advocacy, play, and developmentally appropriate practice, Charlene is recognized as a thought leader in her field. She is a firm believer in the positive power of play and her research focuses on exploring the benefits of play and recess in educational settings.    During today's episode, Charlene discusses how we can effectively nurture and teach children as they navigate life post COVID-19. She urges us to consider the potential reality that children born during the pandemic might have never encountered fluorescent lights (that are now found in almost every classroom) or set foot in a grocery store, and the implications this has on a child's ability to integrate sensory stimuli. Charlene offers actionable insights on how to create classroom environments that minimize sensory overload, emphasizing the significance of granting children autonomy and choice in the process.    Connect with Dr. Charlene Woodham Brickman on Instagram HERE or visit her website HERE.    As always, we would love to connect with you on Instagram HERE and on Facebook HERE.

They also discussed other innovations within the Walton College including the Office of Entrepreneurship and Innovation, McMillon Innovation Studio and Venture Intern Program. Finally, they touched on the viral Coinbase superbowl ad and analyzed why it was successful and "sticky" with a variety of consumers.
