The Electricity Authority is being accused of tinkering around the edges instead of solving the real issues with the electricity market.   

The authority will introduce a set of new rules from October 30th which will force power companies to tell customers if they're on the best plan they provide.  

Power company Electric Kiwi's Chief Executive Huia Burt told Mike Hosking that won't be enough for most. 

She supports customers having more information but says they will need to compare plans from different providers to get the best deal.

Australia’s highest-paying radio show has come to an explosive end. 

Sydney’s Kyle and Jackie O Show has collapsed after Kyle Sandilands reamed out his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson in a seven-minute-long exchange she later described as an attack. 

It led to the program being taken off-air and Henderson quitting the show, and a 14-day suspension and potential contract termination for Sandilands. 

Australia Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking the company is probably going to be very happy they can get out of the $200 million contract.
