An Auckland start-up is making waves in the United States. 

ListAssist has won a contract with real estate firm Howard Hanna, the largest independent firm in the country. 

They’ve created an AI tool that allows you to type your specific requirements into a search bar, which will then bring up the relevant options.  

Founder Chris McGoldrick told Mike Hosking that they essentially overtake the existing search bars on real estate websites and enriching the data. 

He says they build upon the information given by the agents, adding their own to build as comprehensive a picture as possible.

If this Government wants a money saving idea then they should cancel the two Covid inquires and simply adopt Australia's. 

Australia's review released this week is damning, as indeed will ours be. 

Ours will be pretty much the same as Australia's because, within a margin, we did pretty much the same thing. 

If there was any irony, it's that they had “versions” of theirs, and in that is a major lesson. Even with versions, it is broadly accepted none of them turned out to be much chop. 

If we were a state of Australia we would have come in at the tighter, or more restrictive, end of the Australian version. 

Places like Victoria were very much like us because they were run by two very similar people: Dan Andrews and Jacinda Ardern. 

They were hard-left control freaks. 

Western Australia was an outlier in the sense they had a lot of rules but not many of them applied inside the state. In other words, they locked themselves off, but because they were self-reliant, they got on with life. 

New South Wales, run by conservatives, had the most lenient response. 

But this is the biggest out-take - no matter what the response, faith and trust has been lost. 

The rallying cry post-Covid has been to learn the lessons, so we are ready for next time. Are we ready for next time? No. 

Will we ever be? No. 

Will it be worse? Yes. 

Why? Because, as the report suggests, the big lesson we have learned is that the people who run us aren't up to much, and they did a lot of things we would never go along with again. 

Which does of course present a very real issue because it's entirely possible there will be a next time. 

These reports are also predicated on the idea that those who ran it all learn their lessons. Will they? Of course not. 

The public service is full of Ashley Bloomfields, and Jacinda Arderns, and Dan Andrews and Gladys Berejiklians, and if it's them or their ilk running things, next time will look exactly like this time. 

Except, and this is where the carnage will ensue, we won't be along for the ride.

Mike's Minute: Our Covid review will mirror Australia's

Antonia Prebble has been busy. 

The Kiwi actress has just recorded the second season of ‘Double Parked’, the second season of her award-winning podcast is releasing soon, and she also has three other TV shows currently in development.  

Prebble's husband, Dan Musgrove, is a writer by trade, and she revealed that the three shows were a collaborative effort between the two of them.  

One of the projects is a black comedy, another is a psychological thriller, and the third is a horror movie, Prebble revealed, and the latter two are genres she’s personally not a fan of. 

“I don't like watching things like that because I find them too full on and violent,” she said. 

“Whenever we work in it, I’m like, why are we doing this?” 

The television and film industry is going through a bit of a rough patch, and while Prebble generally tries not to buy into the rhetoric about the state of the industry, she admits it isn’t looking great. 

“It’s a lot harder to find those premium style shows,” she told Hosking. 

“If you want to make something that costs around $8 million you, generally speaking, have to have international support.” 

“It’s pretty hard to get.” 

It’s also becoming more and more uncommon for shows to be renewed and picked up for multiple seasons, so the second season of ‘Double Parked’ came as good news. 

“We were so thrilled.”
