It's believed new RMA planning systems will relieve at least 50% of unnecessary work from councils.  

The Government is putting a halt on council planning work before the new RMA planning system comes into force. 

It's also moving to force councils to focus on core services and may move to cap future rates increases. 

RMA Advisory Group Chair Janette Campbell told Heather du Plessis Allan councils will still remain very busy. 

She says it’s going to be a big job to get ready for and impliment the new system, and councils will not be twiddling their thumbs.

The Government claims its tightened up immigration settings since coming into power.  

Immigration Minister Erica Stanford says since she got the job, net migration's dropped from 135 thousand to around 24 thousand. 

She told Mike Hosking 70% of migrants are now high-skilled and 30% are low-skilled – a reversal from a few years ago. 

She says over the last two years they've built proper risk management and verification and introduced English language requirements.

Stanford also says deportations are also at a five year high, as they’re taking a hard-line approach on anyone who's overstaying or undertaking criminal behaviour.

US Correspondent Simon Marks joined Mike Hosking to chat the latest out of the USA.

Trump has reportedly rejected Iran's 14-point peace plan which included forces to be withdrawn from near Iran's borders, and for all hostilities to cease including Israel's attacks in Lebanon.

And, the fleet of fluro-yellow Spirit Airlines planes have been grounded as the company closes it's doors.

"They've been in the game for 15 years and they revolutionised the game of American flying," Marks said.

ACT's newly released immigration policy includes a $6 daily levy on temporary work visas to help fund infrastructure. 

Federated Farmers employment spokesperson Karl Dean joined Mike Hosking to chat about the proposed changes and how they would impact our farming and agricultural industries. 

"We struggle to get skilled migrants now, they look at Australia, they look at Canada, they choose those over New Zealand. This is another barrier," Dean said.
