Seven past six.
How is L.A.B planning to launch their own festival amidst industry challenges?
Now, there's a very long and growing and might I add impressive lineup of netball folk who have, whether deliberately and or desperately, decided that speaking out about their sport is all they have left to do to try and save it. Quite a moving article, actually, featuring a guy called Rob Wright. If you want to look it up, they all sing from the same song sheet.
What is Richard Quest's perspective on the global economy and AI?
Netball is in trouble. No one seems to know what to do. It appears to be in crisis and that crisis is potentially terminal at the elite level.
What are the challenges facing the New Zealand property market?
Like all such stories, there are layers. The sport hadn't been helped by the previous management and board, of course, who appeared to let what you would. loosely call wokeness, get dangerously out of control.
How does the new Super Rugby format affect competition?
But even if the newbies on the board and at management level can contain or control that, that still doesn't address the bigger issue, which, as always, is money. My fear is netball might just be one of those sports that isn't good enough to be at the top level in a country like New Zealand. Already suffers, of course, from the problem of being a minor global sport.
What changes are being implemented in the car industry in New Zealand?
Part of its issue, I think, is based on the idea that it's popular, which it is at school level, but not so much at top level. I mean, the ratings tell a very harsh story. Even free-to-air, which has helped, isn't an answer given the free-to-air provider, i.e.
What is the significance of the Bayeux Tapestry exhibition in London?
TVNZ, has no money. In Australia, which is also free-to-air as of late, at least they have a competitive TV landscape, so the price goes up. Us not playing in the Trans-Tasman competition, I think that was dangerous, if not fatal.
How does the podcast address the impact of AI on various industries?
The corporates, I guess, could help, but for what? All truism. I mean, sponsorship needs money and numbers and netball doesn't have them. It may need a benefactor, somebody like Gina Reinhart. She gave big money in Australia to swimming and synchronized swimming and volleyball. Or it might just be there's too much sport. I mean, there's no doubt globally a lot of sport is actually on fire at the moment. There are sadly, it seems, no easy answers. perhaps not even complex ones. If those speaking out and pleading, bleeding passion at the moment, drive income, we have a start, I guess, because the calls and cries seem to grow louder every day at the moment. Maybe gold in Glasgow could be a saviour, or at least a start.
News of the world in 90 seconds.
Now, the voting continues in America. These are Democratic primaries. Last week, New York. Yesterday, Colorado. Interesting bit, what sort of Democrats are being elected? Interestingly, looks to be progressives, which means a split in the party, which means some spin.
Every person in that tent from these corners that you're talking about, every single one of them wants to hold the Trump administration accountable.
other side of the aisle. J.D. 's been out this morning whipping up the troops.
What we must never do is drop bombs just for the sake of dropping bombs. And that is what the president will never ask you to do. He'll ask you to go to war, yes. But when he asks you to go to war, he'll tell you exactly what you're going for.
His boss took his first ride on his new Qatari plane today, having spent yesterday revealing he has made a fortune this past year from, among other things, crypto.
I purposely, I never speak to any of the people that run the money, but they're at big institutions and they invest in whatever they invest in.
But to critics who say you're profiting off the presidency, Mr. Well, you know why I'm profiting?
Because the stock market's going up.
