Queenstown's underlying infrastructure is unable to keep up with the rapidly growing tourism and population numbers.

The town's infrastructure can't cope with international arrivals 28% higher than in 2019, and the population has doubled every 17 years in the last four decades.  

Queenstown Lakes Community Housing Trust Chief Executive Julie Scott says they're a smaller community who needs a lot of infrastructure they can't afford.  

She says they need the tools to enable them to have an equitable share in how infrastructure is paid for.

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.

US Correspondent Richard Arnold told Mike Hosking Iran's claiming they're holding all the cards.  

He says Iran's Supreme Leader has issued a statement threatening US bases in the region, saying the hand of time doesn't turn back.  

President Donald Trump's meanwhile due to hold a full-Cabinet meeting at Camp David.

The boss of New Zealand King Salmon says it's no fluke they're finally swimming downstream. 

The company’s posting a net profit of $13.8 million for the six months to March. 

The previous period saw a net loss of more than $20 million. 

CEO Carl Carrington told Mike Hosking it was a tough summer on the seas, with temperatures well above average, but a lot of work went into investing in solutions.  

He says a new well-boat arriving soon will mark the biggest transformation in the salmon industry in three decades. 

Carrington says the company’s confident in what’s ahead next year.
