Sealord says the current Fisheries Act regulations are no longer fit for purpose.  

Consultation's open on changes to the Act to allow catch limits to be more readily altered and let camera-fitted boats dump unwanted catch at sea. 

If agreed on, the public would no longer be able to access fishing boat surveillance camera footage through official information requests. 

Chief Executive Doug Paulin told Mike Hosking there's no longer so much need for such strict oversight.  

He says they now have digital reporting, vessel locators going to MPI daily, and cameras on many of the fishing boats.

Doug Paulin: Sealord CEO on the potential changes to the Fisheries Act

Sir Peter Beck is one of the country's greatest ongoing success stories. 

The self-taught engineer turned his love of rockets into a multibillion dollar space company, and Rocket Lab is now the third largest launcher of payloads to orbit. 

He's competing directly with the likes of Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX, managing to hold his own against the billionaires, and can be credited as the reason New Zealand has a space industry in the first place. 

Although the future of the industry may seem uncertain, Beck's confident in his ability to chart a path forward.  

"The space industry right now is an amazing place," he told Mike Hosking.  

"It's just growing rapidly. Like, it was $360 billion, they reckon it's going to be $1.7 trillion in the next five years."  

"It is really, you know, a new bastion of ... industry and growth."  

Going from being a small player starting his own company to a major corporation answerable to shareholders was a steep curve, Beck said, but one they were able to handle. 

"We've always run the company, you know, incredibly frugally," he explained. 

"We are never gonna outspend Jeff and Elon, so we have to be, you know, much more careful with how we build the company." 

"We have to out-hustle them and out-innovate, and that's the only way we can survive."  

And that ethos of hustling to survive has become a great advantage for the company, Beck's self-described 'workaholism' and drive flowing through into the very culture of Rocket Lab. 

"If you look at the resources and what we try to chieve in the time frames – it's insane," he told Hosking 

"We built two spacecraft that are currently on their way to mars right now, we did that in a couple years ... ten years ago that would be like, a half a decade NASA project, and we did it in two years." 

"The Rocket Lab hustle is everybody's expected to get out their spades and just start digging under the barrier or, you know, climbing over the top of it, or whatever it takes."

LIV Golf, the breakaway tour that spent billions of dollars luring top players away from the PGA, has filed for bankruptcy protection in the United States. 

Launched in 2022, free-spending LIV caused shock waves and bitter divisions in the golf world, before losing the backing of its deep-pocketed Saudi investors earlier this year, prompting a scramble to stay afloat. 

The organisation has filed a Chapter 11 petition, which allows a company to reorganise operations while avoiding the initiation of any lawsuits, debt collection, or other attempts to enforce closure. 

Former PGA Golfer Marcus Wheelhouse told Mike Hosking it's possible a new model will emerge from the other side of this, though it will be smaller. 

He says the key is whether the brand will survive from a reputation point of view, as they owe a lot of people and organisations money. 

Wheelhouse says they have a lot of challenges ahead.
