A business owner says after a tough period, money to re-open the Coromandel Peninsula's Cathedral Cove track is great news. 

The Government's allocated $5 million to plan, build, reopen, and maintain the walking track. 

The beach has been inaccessible by land since February 2023 after Cyclone Gabrielle. 

Destination Hauraki Coromandel General Manager Hadley Dryden told Andrew Dickens it's their biggest attraction. 

He says it has a lot of pulling power for the region and the country, so it's important it's back for summer.

Controversy in Levin over a recent move to end residential berm-mowing.

Horowhenua District Council is making property owners responsible for mowing berms to save about $250,000 a year.

Many city councils – like Auckland and Wellington – require owners to mow their own berms, while others – like Christchurch – "strongly encourage" it.

Horowhenua District Councillor Sam Jennings told Mike Hosking during consultation most residents supported the change, but public opinion has since shifted.

“It’s all blown up on social media just recently, I guess because of the spring growth.”

Foodstuffs is pushing back on claims our groceries cost more than the rest of the world. 

Year-on-year inflation for comparable products has remained flat on 0 percent, according to the co-op.

Blame is being put on GST for pushing up prices – Australia, for example gets, meat, fish, produce, milk and more GST-free.

Foodstuffs New Zealand managing director Chris Quin joined Mike Hosking.

New Zealand First's on a campaign to drive more infrastructure funded through foreign investment. 

Leader Winston Peters is proposing a $100 billion infrastructure fund for long-term builds. 

It comes days after the Government announced a loosening of foreign investment rules.

Peters told Mike Hosking it's worked overseas – and we desperately need the savings.

He says we need to find the money and get our economy back in the state it needs to be - to bring our performance up with other countries.
