Frustrations are growing around the fast-track process in Taranaki, which has grounded to a halt due to bureaucracy. 

215 parties are now having their say in the ‘VTM’ seabed mining project. 

Resource Minister Shane Jones told Mike Hosking that the discourse around the project is responsible for hindering its progress.  

‘We're dealing with a substantial reduction in earnings, not only from manufacturing, but from oil and gas.’

"Time to move": Mark Robinson unpacks resignation from NZ Rugby

Outgoing New Zealand Rugby boss Mark Robinson believes he's leaving the game in a better place than he found it. 

He's confirmed he will leave the job at the end of the year, bringing to an end a six-year tenure that started just before the Covid-19 pandemic. 

Robinson says he's proud of what's been achieved during a turbulent period. 

He told Mike Hosking that the next six months are critical for their role both domestically and internationally, with both their involvement in the establishment of international calendars and competitions as well as the opportunity they have to reset the financial model for the New Zealand game.  

Robinson likes to think those would both be signed off by the end of the year, and that in conjunction with his family moving over to Australia, makes him feel it’s time to move on.

"Absolutely no idea": Joseph Parker uncertain of his next opponent 

Joseph Parker’s next fight is still up in the air.  

The Kiwi boxer was set to challenge Daniel Dubois for the IBF Heavyweight belt, before pulling out last-minute on medical advice.  

Since then, Parker has called out Oleksandr Usyk, but Dubois may be first in line for that fight. 

Parker told Mike Hosking that there’s a lot of different ways the timeline could play out. 

He says he has no idea what’s happening next, and for now, is just focused on training, spending time with family, and finding a good balance in life.
