Australia’s highest-paying radio show has come to an explosive end. 

Sydney’s Kyle and Jackie O Show has collapsed after Kyle Sandilands reamed out his co-host Jackie ‘O’ Henderson in a seven-minute-long exchange she later described as an attack. 

It led to the program being taken off-air and Henderson quitting the show, and a 14-day suspension and potential contract termination for Sandilands. 

Australia Correspondent Steve Price told Mike Hosking the company is probably going to be very happy they can get out of the $200 million contract.

Fewer New Zealanders are leaving for Australia as our net migration hits the highest level in two years. 

The number of people moving here outnumbered those who left by more than 20 thousand in the year to July.  

There was a net migration loss of more than 28 thousand to Australia last year – an improvement from about 31 thousand the year before.  

UVisa Immigration Adviser Tobias Tohill told Mike Hosking it's an encouraging sign. 

He says while departures are similar elsewhere, the ones to Australia have fallen below the long-time average.

An expert says planning laws often need to be tweaked after they've passed. 

The Housing Minister will announce details of amendments to the fast-track system later this morning after multiple council complaints about fast-tracked housing developments.  

Mt Hobson Group Urban Planning Specialist Hamish Firth says the fast-track system was well intentioned and has helped build things like new quarries. 

But he told Mike Hosking it's a system which needs to shift.  

Firth suggests they might not have expected so many housing developments to be included.

A sigh of relief from the Tourism Minister after July visitor numbers surpassed pre-Covid levels. 

Stats NZ data shows 256,600 overseas visitors arrived in July – more than half of them from Australia. 

That's 0.4% higher than July 2019. 

Minister Louise Upston told Mike Hosking it shows a strong government focus on tourism can help drive demand. 

She says one in nine New Zealanders is employed in tourism and hospitality, so growing tourism is critical for growing economic opportunities.
