3d ago18:05

18:05

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

4d 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…

12:30

Christchurch's Mayor is suggesting the city's temporary sports stadium could be redeveloped for housing. Addington's Apollo Projects Stadium opened in 2012 when the quake-damaged Lancaster Park closed permanently. The City Council's confirmed structures including the grandstand will be removed when Te Kaha opens in April, but the future of the Addi…

Overcoming: The War in our Mind | Brian Hedges | November 16, 2025 48:24

4d ago48:24

48:24

As believers, we are also overcomers; those who contend, conquer, and prevail in victory through Christ. The three most common areas the enemy seeks to set up strongholds in the lives of believers to keep us from overcoming are our understanding of the goodness of God, our identity in Christ, and our belief to see the goodness of God manifested in …

John MacDonald: I'm paying attention to BusinessNZ, I hope you are too 4:40

5d ago4:40

4:40

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…

John MacDonald: Is the EV bubble about to burst? 4:59

New Zealand is about to become a dumping ground for dirty vehicles. That’s what the electric vehicle people are saying today about the Government’s urgent changes to the clean car standards for imported vehicles. Of course they’re unhappy. Because I reckon they are seeing and we are seeing the EV bubble about to burst. I’ll tell you why. I’ll also …

John MacDonald: In terms of scandals, this one is right up there 6:35

12d ago6:35

6:35

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. And if you thought the attitude within the Police towards women had changed from what it used to be – well you might be having a bit of a re-think on both of those. Because I…

The Labour Leader is “absolutely disgusted” by the handling of complaints against Jevon McSkimming by former Police Commissioner Andrew Coster.

John MacDonald: Housing intensification is the future 5:02

12d ago5:02

5:02

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…

Just as punters hoped, showers have cleared in Christchurch in time to fling open the gates at Addington Raceway before the 122nd running of the New Zealand Trotting Cup. The grey start's made way for some blue skies and enough sun to fry off rain that fell this morning. Race caller Matt Cross told John MacDonald the track's in good order. He says …

Mike Hosking’s interview this morning with reinstated Silver Ferns coach Dame Noeline Taurua could only have gone one of two ways. She could have spilled the beans. Or she could have danced around the legalities of a gagging order. She could have spilled the beans and made Netball NZ look like a bunch of incompetents. Or she could have played it sa…

John MacDonald: Employers should be able to hire whoever they want 4:56

24d ago4:56

4:56

Ever since the 1930s, when American soldiers were based all around the world, people in many countries have been antsy about foreigners getting what appears to them to be special treatment or privileges. The phrase people used back in the day about the US soldiers was something along the lines of them being overdressed, overpaid, oversexed and over…

John MacDonald: Do we need more MPs? 4:24

4:24

Do we need more MPs? The NZ Initiative thinks we do - saying today that, instead of 120, we should have 170. It says the number of MPs in New Zealand is low compared to other countries with similar populations and we need 50 more to keep them accessible to voters. Another thing it’s calling for is a four-year parliamentary term. That’s a no-brainer…

Chris Hipkins: Labour leader reviews the latest in politics with John MacDonald 10:36

26d ago10:36

10:36

Labour had their Capital Gains Tax policy leaked earlier this week. The tax would only apply to residential and commercial property sales, not any other taxable areas. A decision which has led some to question if this is really a Capital Gains Tax. Labour leader Chris Hipkins had previously said that there would be no Capital Gains Tax under his le…

John MacDonald: Another ham-fisted announcement from the Labour Party 4:26

27d ago4:26

4:26

So another ham-fisted announcement from the Labour Party. In fact, it wasn’t even an announcement. Because of a leak, it was forced this morning to confirm its plan to include a capital gains tax in its policies for next year’s election. Which looks to me like a very watered-down, scaredy-cat version of a capital gains tax that won’t impress many. …

What happened to the emergency mobile alert system ahead of and during yesterday’s wind storm? One explanation for the absence of text alerts from one government MP is that, with the power out in places, the cell towers weren’t working. But the power wasn’t out in Christchurch city and there were still no alerts on my phone. What’s more, the power …
