There's hope there can be a turnaround in unruly Kāinga Ora tenants. 

A Government crackdown has resulted in 63 tenancy terminations in the past 10 months - up from 11 in the year before. 

Formal warnings have gone up 600%. 

Litigation Lawyer Adina Thorn told Mike Hosking the figures are encouraging. 

She says it looks like under this government, there’s been a big step up and a moderate to good response to the behaviour that has been going on in some KO homes across New Zealand.

An energy industry lobby group is warning the decline in domestic gas supply is a sign of a shrinking economy. 

PwC research —commissioned by Gas Industry Co— suggests the gas market must contract sharply as domestic supply falls, potentially leading to business closures, job losses, and higher energy costs. 

The research assumes the Maui field will stop producing in 2027. 

Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie told Mike Hosking modelling suggests the economic impact will be significant. 

He says a report for MBIE found that without LNG terminals and with the loss of domestic supply, New Zealand's GDP will be about 0.1% lower in 2035.

The Warriors are in for a challenge as they aim to go two for two in the NRL season.  

They stunned the Roosters in their opening clash, claiming victory 42-18 at Mt Smart Stadium.  

The Warriors are back at Mount Smart tonight, this time for a clash against the Raiders. 

Former Kiwis Captain Richie Barnett told Mike Hosking the Roosters were ill-disciplined – they didn’t give respect to the Warriors, and they got caned in all areas of the game. 

But the Raiders are a different side, and he says their ruck speed is the best in the game – if you control that, you control the game.
