So we gotta get a bit of a reality check.”  Seymour argued that if there were to be a survey of the lunches 75% of students are still getting from their parents there would be “mixed reviews” as well.  LISTEN ABOVE  Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:24:49 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/liz-shackleton-animal-and-plant-health-nz-ceo-on-the-need-for-a-review-of-new-plant-and-animal-products/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/liz-shackleton-animal-and-plant-health-nz-ceo-on-the-need-for-a-review-of-new-plant-and-animal-products/ A primary sector advocacy group says a review of new plant and animal products is critically important for New Zealand farmers.   A backlog of more than 100 applications are awaiting approval, and it could take up to four years to clear the queue.   Now, a dozen primary sector businesses and groups are calling for swift action to clear the backlog.    Animal and Plant Health New Zealand Chief Executive Liz Shackleton told Mike Hosking the Government has one chance to get it right.   She says it's a chance for the Prime Minister to put his growth agenda into action.  LISTEN ABOVE  Thu, 30 Jan 2025 19:12:41 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/todd-mcclay-trade-minister-believes-new-zealand-exporters-will-fare-fine-under-the-trump-administration/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/todd-mcclay-trade-minister-believes-new-zealand-exporters-will-fare-fine-under-the-trump-administration/ The Trade Minister believes New Zealand exporters will do well during the Donald Trump presidency.  The US has now overtaken Australia as the second largest destination for our exports.  Our Government remains in the dark about whether New Zealand will get caught up in Donald Trump's tariff plan.  But Todd McClay told Mike Hosking trade to the US rose under the last Trump term and should again this time around.  McClay says while there is uncertainty about what Trump may or may not do around tariffs, he predicts Kiwi exporters will do very well during this Trump term.  LISTEN ABOVE  Thu, 30 Jan 2025 18:51:51 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/chris-schulz-consumer-nz-senior-investigative-journalist-on-concert-cancellations-and-delays/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/chris-schulz-consumer-nz-senior-investigative-journalist-on-concert-cancellations-and-delays/ A reminder to concert-goers to prepare for cancellations and date changes.  Canadian rapper Drake is the latest artist to push out his New Zealand shows by two weeks, a month out from the original dates.  It follows the cancellations of Juicy Fest, the Timeless Tour, and Paradise Rock festival.  Consumer NZ senior investigative journalist Chris Schulz told Mike Hosking paying $10 dollars for insurance on a ticket can be worthwhile  He says it's a good idea for shows a year away, as a lot can happen in that time.  LISTEN ABOVE  Wed, 29 Jan 2025 21:01:02 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/marcus-armstrong-kiwi-indycar-driver-on-his-new-team-the-new-season/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/marcus-armstrong-kiwi-indycar-driver-on-his-new-team-the-new-season/ It’s shaping up to be a massive year for Kiwi IndyCar driver Marcus Armstrong.  He’s joined up with Meyer Shank Racing, joining Felix Rosenqvist in the team's lineup – competing on all the oval, road, and street races.  Armstrong comes from a background of F4, Formula 3 and Formula 2, and told Mike Hosking that over the years he feels like he’s grown better at working with his team.  “There’s 350 people that we work closely with, and making sure that we communicate properly and explain our thoughts of how we want the car to be developed without, y’know... involving your ego too much.”  “So, being very self-critical and honest about what we can do better from a team perspective, and communicating properly. I think that’s probably the thing I’ve improved in the most.”  In IndyCar, you’re often racing at speeds averaging about 240 miles an hour, a speed that’s hard for the human brain to keep up with.  “You need to keep your eyes 200 meters further ahead than what you’re used to,” Armstrong told Hosking.  “If you sort of look where you normally look, you’re already past that point.”  LISTEN ABOVE  Wed, 29 Jan 2025 20:38:07 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/the-re-wrap/the-re-wrap-the-right-to-do-business-with-who-you-like/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/the-re-wrap/the-re-wrap-the-right-to-do-business-with-who-you-like/ THE BEST BITS IN A SILLIER PACKAGE (from Thursday's Mike Hosking Breakfast) Up to a Point/The Anti-Book Club/Not the Worst Impression/Push Button to Resign/Dude, Where's My Plane?

just $5.6 million on development compared to the billions ploughed into the tech by US counterparts.  Craigs Investments Partners Director Mark Lister told Mike Hosking that if DeepSeek’s model is everything it claims to be, they’ll be able to run on less powerful chips.  He says that the share prices for companies like NVIDIA had a huge amount of growth baked in on the assumption that everyone will need incredibly grunty chips to work, and DeepSeek’s claims bring that assumption into question.  Lister says that it means the share price is potentially a little overcooked.  LISTEN ABOVE  Tue,

Mike Hosking to wrap the political week thus far. They talked the new jury duty bill, the increasing speed limits, and where the Government is at heading into 2025.  The Police Minister is welcoming a member's bill that could see more seniors serving on juries.  National's Whanganui MP, Carl Bates, has proposed raising the age when people can be automatically excused from jury duty from 65 to 72.  People could still be excused for other reasons like health issues or career experience.  Police Minister Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it would unlock lots of talent that the jury service needs.  He says there are many in that age bracket who would make outstanding jurors and have the time to dedicate to it.  LISTEN ABOVE  Tue, 28 Jan 2025 20:05:27 Z

reliability.   But Mainfreight Managing Director Don Braid told Mike Hosking he's not sure it will mean cheaper freight rates, adding it mostly operates on the East to West corridors anyway.  He says it's possible for cheaper freight to result from the Red Sea opening, meaning quicker shipping.  However, Braid says, the chances of this happening are low.  LISTEN ABOVE  Tue, 28 Jan 2025 19:49:04 Z

executive-level roles will have no impact on Police delivery.  Richard Chambers is opening consultation on a proposal to disestablish 37 executive and support service positions and create 20 new

election.  The billionaire has made a video appearance at a rally for far-right party Alternative for Germany.  Musk has previously written an op-ed supporting the party, and hosted its leader Alice Weidel in an interview on X.  Europe Correspondent Catherine Field told Mike Hosking that it looks as if Musk is having an effect, primarily due to his actions being rebroadcast on his X, which has a far greater reach than German mainstream media.  She says that there has been an acceptance among the mainstream parties that far right votes wouldn’t be accepted to pass legislation, but the leader of the centre-right CDU said he was prepared to accept far-right support in his crackdown on migrants.   LISTEN ABOVE  Mon, 27 Jan 2025 21:51:07 Z

history of innovation and entrepreneurship.  He’s one of the most talked about men in America, and after hitching his wagon to Donald Trump in the election, now one of the most influential players in US politics.  Musk was the largest donor in the 2024 election cycle, spending at least US$277 million to back Trump’s run for the White House, as well as putting his social power behind the candidate.  Former Managing Editor of Forbes and host of the “What’s Bugging Me” podcast on Ricochet, Dennis Kneale has written a book about Elon Musk’s journey as a CEO. 'The Leadership Genius of Elon Musk' distils the businessman's success down into 11 lessons, breaking down his philosophies, successes, and controversial standing. Kneale told Mike Hosking he believes Musk got involved in politics reluctantly.  “I truly believe he never would have gotten involved if he hadn't felt that America was about to tumble down into the woke mind virus and never come back from it.”  Backing a specific political party or candidate can be a risk for a business, as it runs the risk of alienating potential customers.  “He knows that he turns off half the audience, and he wants 100% of the audience buying Tesla cars,” Kneale said.  However, Musk’s passion for free speech and a lack of censorship seems to have outweighed the potential loss of customers.  “He has more appreciation for the First Amendment right to freedom of speech and free expression than most Americans do.”  LISTEN ABOVE  Mon, 27 Jan 2025 20:26:47 Z /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/the-re-wrap/the-re-wrap-eight-weeks-off/ /on-air/mike-hosking-breakfast/audio/the-re-wrap/the-re-wrap-eight-weeks-off/ THE BEST BITS IN A SILLIER PACKAGE (from Tuesday's Mike Hosking Breakfast) A Bit Long?/What Trump's Got Right/Three Waters, Back from the Underworld/Who Funds Those Jandals?/Whale Waste Mon, 27 Jan 2025 20:26:14 Z
