John MacDonald: Your house is going to be your castle again 4:42

3h ago4:42

4:42

There’s a lot to take in with these planning law changes. But what it comes down to is the Government wants people to be able to do more with their own property with less red tape. If you want to do something that has no impact on anyone else, you’ll be able to do it. Your house, your castle. That’s where there could be a few sticking points, becau…

John MacDonald: You can't put alcohol violence down to marketing 4:44

1d ago4:44

4:44

These researchers calling today for a ban on alcohol marketing and sponsorship sound to me like they’re living in the past. Maybe it’s the circles I mix in. But I reckon things have come ahead leaps and bounds when it comes to our drinking culture in New Zealand. And before you start yelling “what about things like crate day mate?” - I’m not saying…

John MacDonald: The Eagle has landed in Chch and should stay 4:18

5d ago4:18

4:18

The eagle has landed. One of the police Eagle helicopters from Auckland is in Christchurch for the next two months as part of a crackdown on these criminal kids doing-over dairies and committing other crimes. I think it’s brilliant that it’s here and I think we need one here permanently. For several reasons: Christchurch is New Zealand’s second-lar…

John MacDonald: Don't dismiss the Christchurch supercity idea 4:04

7d ago4:04

4:04

A couple of advisors at the Christchurch City Council have ripped into the Government’s plan for regional councils and have said to councillors that they reckon there’s a better way. Or more correctly, two better potential ways. Instead of having local mayors run regional councils for two years and, during that time, work out how they’re going to g…

When Time Becomes Our Boss (featuring Andrew Hartman) 30:08

8d ago30:08

30:08

At some point in ministry, we start confusing busyness for faithfulness. We tell ourselves that exhaustion is just the cost of obedience - that being needed, stretched thin, and constantly available somehow means we’re doing it right. But deep down, we know something’s wrong. In this episode of Life After Ministry, Matt Davis sits down with his lon…

John MacDonald: Rates caps are a placebo policy 4:45

8d ago4:45

4:45

You might recall a poll result that came out back in September which proved that 75 percent of us are idiots. It’s these idiots that the Government is pandering to with the council rates cap it announced yesterday. And the 75 percent of people who said in that poll that they support the Government forcing rates caps on councils will be very happy t…

John MacDonald: Is Christchurch ready for a red zone re-think? 4:05

9d ago4:05

4:05

Is it time to have a re-think about what’s done with the residential red zone on the east side of Christchurch? I think it’s fair to say that mayor Phil Mauger thinks so. And so do I. Phil’s saying today that he wants to see red zone land used for housing as soon as possible. With the first cab off the rank being land on the edge of the area alread…

It’s taken 46 years and we’ve still managed to stuff up the decision as to where to have a memorial for the 257 people who died in the Mt Erebus air disaster. It was 46 years ago today when the Air NZ DC-10, flight TE901, ploughed into the side of Mt Erebus. And, yes, nice job making the memorial announcement in time for the anniversary, but Cracro…

John MacDonald: The alternative to ditching regional councils 4:20

14d ago4:20

4:20

You know how at work you can get people leaving and, instead of hiring new people, they just dish out the work to other people? Then it gets to the point where the other people look up and realise they’re overworked, overloaded, and burnt out. I wonder if that’s how mayors around the country are feeling about the prospect of them not only running t…

Christchurch City Council's been selected to act as a one-stop consenting authority for large-scale supermarket developments.

Labour Leader Chris Hipkins says he's not clear what the Government's aiming for in its plans to change local government. It's proposing replacing the country's 11 regional councils with boards made up of local mayors. Hipkins agrees there's an obvious need for change. But he told John MacDonald he thinks this looks like an attempt to make councils…

John MacDonald: Reasons to be nervous about the Govt's building changes 5:24

15d ago5:24

5:24

This move by the Government to change who is ultimately liable for repairs to defective building work on new houses up to three-storeys high and renovation jobs worth more than $100,000 makes me very nervous. At the moment, all parties involved in a project are jointly liable for any defects and repairs. Which means, sometimes, if one of them can’t…

Labour says the Government shouldn't be celebrating record high prisoner numbers. Earlier this week Prime Minister Christopher Luxon declared it was a good thing the prison population was nearing 11 thousand people. The Government is also celebrating a reduction by 38 thousand in the number of victims of violent crime since it came into power. Labo…

John MacDonald: Lessons for the future from the ferry deal 5:10

20d ago5:10

5:10

For me, one of the best things to come out of yesterday’s announcement about the Cook Strait ferries has nothing to do with the ferries themselves. There’s still a bit of smoke and mirrors about the numbers and what it’s going to end up costing. Because what it still comes down to is that the Government poured $671 million down the drain when the F…

Christchurch's Mayor is suggesting the city's temporary sports stadium could be redeveloped for housing.

I hope people are sitting-up and paying attention to what BusinessNZ is saying today. Especially the people who have their heads in the sand about our ability as a country to keep paying for things like healthcare and pensions. Because, as BusinessNZ puts it, we don’t have enough people to keep on doing that and we need a lot more people. As one he…

Dr. Nathan Baxter loved ten hours of his job. Those one-on-ones with staff fueled him. The rest slowly emptied him. Naming that truth started a two-year journey out of a role he’d held for decades.

Whatever you thought of Andrew Coster as Police Commissioner, you probably felt you could trust him to do the right thing. To be upfront, honest, and certainly not hide stuff.

Be careful what you wish for. That’s how I’m feeling about the Government giving Christchurch an exemption from the new housing intensification rules, which would have enabled three, three-storey properties to be built on single sections anywhere in the city. Instead, that level of intensification is going to be limited to certain parts of town, in…
