Auckland is hosting the second round of Sail GP for the season, with 13 teams racing at the Wynyard Point Race Stadium.

Organisers have boosted capacity with a grandstand that is 30% larger than last year as demand continues to grow. 

Sir Russell Coutts told Mike Hosking that, "the growth has been incredible, I think we've expanded our audience way beyond the avid sailing fan."

The Black Foils will be looking to bounce back after a rough start to the campaign in Perth.

It's Friday, which means Kate Hawkesby and Tim Wilson are back with Mike Hosking to Wrap the Week that Was.

With the ongoing uncertainty surrounding oil prices, the Government is considering heading back to the Muldoon-era and instituting car-less days if all else fails, so Tim, Kate, and Mike took a look back at what those days were like.

And should you watch something just to see how bad it is? Mike is gobsmacked the Melania documentary was ever made, and thinks everyone needs to watch it.

An energy industry lobby group is warning the decline in domestic gas supply is a sign of a shrinking economy. 

PwC research —commissioned by Gas Industry Co— suggests the gas market must contract sharply as domestic supply falls, potentially leading to business closures, job losses, and higher energy costs. 

The research assumes the Maui field will stop producing in 2027. 

Energy Resources Aotearoa Chief Executive John Carnegie told Mike Hosking modelling suggests the economic impact will be significant. 

He says a report for MBIE found that without LNG terminals and with the loss of domestic supply, New Zealand's GDP will be about 0.1% lower in 2035.
