Officials are continuing to closely monitor petrol stations to ensure any fall in global oil prices is passed on to Kiwi consumers. 

The Commerce Commission says it was reasonable for businesses to raise their prices as wholesale prices rose. 

But it says they also need to reduce prices as wholesale prices fall. 

Waitomo Fuel CEO Simon Parham told Mike Hosking that's exactly what they're doing – they’re now selling 91 at below $3 per litre across their whole network. 

He says often people are hyper-aware when prices go up but then loose attention as prices do down.

UK Correspondent Enda Brady told Mike Hosking the one good thing that’s come of it is the number of men now talking about prostate cancer and the test. 

He says Clarkson’s shone a light on farming, and him making a full recovery from it and speaking about it will do a lot of good.

Charlie Puth has been busy.  

In 2026 alone, the Grammy-nominated and multi-platinum singer has had his first child, released his fourth album, ‘Whatever’s Clever!’, and begun touring said album. 

He’s just wrapped up the US leg of his tour, which included a performance at the iconic Madison Square Garden, and is now preparing to hop on a plane to start the European leg.  

And that’s not where it ends, as Puth will be bringing the show to New Zealand’s shores in November of this year. 

Performing at Madison Square Garden is widely considered to be a pinnacle moment in an artist’s career, and according to Puth, it is definitely all it’s cracked up to be. 

“For me especially, just because I’m basically from here, so it’s very full circle,” he told Mike Hosking. 

“The first show I ever played was in the West Village for 100 people, and we sold out Madison Square Garden, which is a little over 16,000 people.” 

“It’s very full circle for me.” 

Adding to the feeling were the guests Puth brought out on stage during the performance, Art Garfunkel, Jimmy Fallon, Busta Rhymes, and Kirk Franklin – all people who inspired him musically.  

Performing with Art Garfunkel, of Simon & Garfunkel, seems to be a particular highlight, as Puth’s a big fan. 

“It was an honour to bring them back out there, and everybody, there was such roaring applause from everybody – kids to adults. His music is so universal.”  

And while his visit to New Zealand is still a while away, Puth says it’s definitely on his radar. 

“I’m really excited to come back.”
