Defence Minister Judith Collins says the Government is considering options with the Defence Force planes.

The Prime Minister and his 52-person delegation en route to Japan were stranded in Papua New Guinea after the Defence Force plane blew two fuses.

Chris Luxon's flown commercially to Japan - while Air New Zealand had to divert a flight to pick up the rest of the group in Brisbane.

Collins says the Defence Capability plan will go to Cabinet in the next two months, looking at the point of the planes and who they're for.

There’s debate over housing entitlements after it was revealed National's Louise Upston claims allowances for a home she already owns.  

MPs needing semi-permanent accommodation in Wellington can access up to $52 thousand a year.  

National's Mark Mitchell told Mike Hosking it is an entitlement, because MPs have to stay in the capital.  

Labour's Ginny Andersen told Mike Hosking there's certainly room for a discussion.  

She says much of this is hard for many Kiwis to stomach when there's a cost of living crisis going on.

It's part of free trade agreements with the UK and EU and will in place by mid-2028. 

Eccles Entertainment Founder Brent Eccles told Mike Hosking it's an important move.

Both Manage My Health and Health NZ are vowing they've made big changes following last year's cyber-attack on 100 thousand patients.  

The Privacy Commissioner has found both failed to protect patient data. 

Phase Two of his review will ask whether people actually knew their data was being held in the health portal. 

Michael Webster told Mike Hosking we can't afford to be lax when it comes to private data.  

He says health information is highly sensitive, and there needs to be a greater commitment to protecting it on such platforms.
