Francesca Rudkin: Are we too hard on politicians?
January 19, 2024 21:21 - 3 minutes - 3.06 MBThis week I found myself wondering if we’re too hard on politicians? Is there enough support for those who choose to go into public service? And why do we forget they’re human too? When we see some of politics’ most passionate, talented, hard-working participants, some touted as potential leaders, hit mental health road bumps which often derail their careers, you’ve got to wonder if it’s worth it. This time last year our then Prime Minister called a press conference and announced she ...

December 16, 2023 02:45 - 3 minutes - 3.61 MBIt was left to my wife to break the bad news. Our boy was sitting patiently in the back of the car and as we made our way across town, she gently asked him about the letter which we’d just discovered he’d written to Santa. “When did you write it?” She asked. “A couple of weeks ago. I didn’t tell you, cos it was going straight to Santa.” “Fair call. Good thinking. Who helped you do it?” “My Kaiako... my teacher.” “And... um... What did you ask for?” “Oh, nothing major,” he said...

Mike Yardley: South Westland's World Heritage wilderness
December 16, 2023 01:05 - 9 minutes - 8.73 MB"One of my favourite Kiwi road trips can be mistaken as an unsung feeder route in South Westland, stitching the West Coast’s Glacier Country to the glittery allure of Wanaka and Queenstown. Rushing is the problem. Anyone who races through the ravishing Haast Pass Highway is unwittingly short-changing themselves. Set aside the time to devour its epic glories. As the last mountain pass to be constructed over the Southern Alps and only fully chip-sealed in 1995, this 140km-long panoramic alpin...
Dr Dougal Sutherland: Are you drinking too much at Christmas?
December 16, 2023 00:27 - 8 minutes - 8.06 MB‘Tis the season to eat, drink, and be merry. Emphasis on drink.

This can sometimes contribute to problem drinking, as people increasingly use alcohol or other drugs as a way to cope. At Christmas, drinking becomes even more socially acceptable, and workplaces have a role in this, often via work Christmas functions which give people the license to dri...

Paul Stenhouse: A new way to save your passwords
December 15, 2023 22:57 - 5 minutes - 5.44 MBPasskeys are the reverse password you never need to remember.

Hannah McQueen: Financial progress shouldn't wait for perfect conditions
December 09, 2023 00:48 - 4 minutes - 4.27 MBOne of Hannah's key lessons (and an important point we make to all of their clients) is that financial progress shouldn't wait for perfect conditions. When life gets uncertain and throws a curveball, that’s the exact time financial opportunities tend to reveal themselves - ironically, at the least opportune moment. After the year that's been, we can probably all relate to that feeling! So the question becomes: If financial opportunity presented itself, would you see it for what it is, or ...

Jack Tame: New experiences
December 08, 2023 21:10 - 4 minutes - 3.72 MBNew experiences make you feel young. At least, that’s what I told myself as I slipped into a gown, folded my pants and shirt into a plastic container, and followed the technician through the big double doors. It took me almost 37 years to get my first MRI.

Jack Tame: It's A Done Deal
November 24, 2023 20:37 - 5 minutes - 5.24 MBWe can dispute when the counter should have started – election night or the official results – but I suspect the waiting game will soon be forgotten as the new government is sworn in and the house sits in urgency.
