A bid to change a political football as research finds housing targets aren't working.  

The New Zealand Initiative suggests councils should be judged on whether there's real and affordable choices – replacing traditional targets with price indicators. 

It also recommends an expert panel to make decisions rather than central Government. 

Research Fellow Benno Blaschke told Mike Hosking we need to get the politics out of it, like we do in other areas. 

He says the Finance Minister doesn't set interest rates, the Reserve Bank does, as it's independent and has the technical skill required.

Electrifying the transport system will require strong bi-partisan action.  

The Drive Electric State of the Nation report has found globally, one in four new vehicle purchases are electric – up from one in five in 2024. 

Chair Kirsten Corson says strides are being made in public transport, with New Plymouth's bus fleet being 100% electric, and Auckland Transport having more than 300 electric buses.  

She told Mike Hosking it’s not an environmental decision anymore – it's an economic one. 

In the past three years they’ve seen the percentage of new vehicle sales that are electric increasing in countries like Ethiopia, Vietnam, Thailand, and Turkey, Corson says, as from an economic perspective, they no longer want to import fossil fuels.

The Corrections union insists corrupt staffers are few and far between, and some are even forced to go down the wrong path. 

14 staff from Mt Eden and Auckland South Corrections facilities have been arrested. 

A dozen are charged with accepting bribes, and others with conspiring to supply a Class A drug —namely methamphetamine— to prisoners. 

Corrections Association President Floyd du Plessis told Mike Hosking it's not the norm, but in the past, some staff have been coerced by people who monitor their behaviour and learn about their personal lives. 

He says in the past, staff have even had people turn up at their house and intimidate them, and have succumbed to that pressure.
