Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
Your trusted home for news, sport, entertainment, opinion and Mike. The Mike Hosking Breakfast with Bailey's Real Estate. All together better across residential, commercial and rural. News Talk ZB. Morning and welcome. Today our inflation rates and help for rural schools in the fuel crisis. Speaking of which, here New Zealand's boss back in with price increases and cancelled routes.
Of course, the IOD crackdown on crypto. Carl Urban as he lines up for the final season of the boys. Catherine Field and France Rod, little ponies up from the UK. Welcome to the day, seven past six. You'll be aware, of course, of the Far North Council and their unelected Maori voting plan. It is, of course, a scandal.
But more importantly, it is part of the overall demarification of the economy this current government, in one form or another, promised to address.
Chapter 2: What are the latest insights on inflation data from BNZ's Chief Economist?
The fact this stuff is still going on, I would have thought, proves they're failing. Todd Stevenson from ACT the other day wrote to the Public Services Minister, Judith Collins, asking about Maori names in government departments. She said there was a war on and we had better things to do. Is that a fair point?
Chapter 3: How is Air New Zealand responding to the fuel crisis and rising fare prices?
or is it a convenient excuse? Simple truth is, what they promised and what has happened are two different things. Interact, who are now promising to ban far north type behaviour. Now, is that a double promise? Didn't you already say you would do that?
Chapter 4: What are the highlights of the final season of The Boys with Karl Urban?
So here's the problem with it. One, ACT aren't running the government, they're merely part of it, unless they make it a bottom line, which they won't, it may or may not see the light of day after the election. Two, given their well-promoted stance on race-based policy going into another election, having had the opportunity to fix it already, You've got a credibility problem, don't you?
And three, my sense of this as a broad-based issue is it isn't what it once might have been. I mean, personally, I find marrification problematic. To give someone rules or money or decisions or names or jobs based on race is simply irrefutably wrong.
Chapter 5: What names are being discussed regarding discontent within the National Party?
But the fervour with which that was argued a couple of years ago doesn't appear to be quite as white-hot. I mean, yes, there's a very vocal group who seem to have made it their raison d'etre. But they're small, and many of them are rabid, which makes the appeal of the overall argument to the broader populace less enticing.
You might also argue that against this wall of determination was an even bigger wall of determination, i.e. those who believe in it, think it's good, who have held the line and carried on. And can I suggest that at this point, in the far north councillor-y gold star example, it is they who are the more successful of the two camps? News of the world in 90 seconds.
Ah, yes, the thrills of a new week Monday in London and poor old Keir's got a couple of people wanting a word. He chose to ask no questions about the vetting process. He asked no questions about Mandelson's relationship with Epstein. It doesn't appear that he asked any questions at all. Why? Because he didn't want to know. Sorry. Wanted a bit of that.
We needed a government of honesty, integrity and accountability. So will the Prime Minister finally accept that the only way he can help to deliver that is to resign? Even Diane Abbott, who was Labour-adjacent, given she's currently suspended, had to pile in.
Ordinary people don't really care about process and procedure.
They want transparency and they want to know that they can have confidence in the words of elected politicians. The man himself has never sounded more in charge. There were repeated times when I should have been told, I should have been told on appointment... I should have been told when Peter Manelson was sacked. The cabinet secretary should have been told when he reviewed the process.
What a doofus. To epic fury, deadline on the ceasefire expires Thursday. Iran still playing games about round two of the talks.
We witnessed that the United States insisted on bad faith and violation of the ceasefire. All of this is evidence that the United States apparently does not show seriousness in the diplomatic process.
By the way, if Trumpy owes you money from the Liberation Day tariffs, the checks are starting to be written. Not easy, though. This is a big bill that taxpayers ultimately will be on the hook for. What needs to happen is that you need to apply for a tariff rebate. But did you pay the tariff on what was illegally charged, or were there legal tariffs? Yeah, a lot of questions.

Chapter 6: What are the implications of the recent CPI data release?
And as I said, Brent crude, just a touch over $95. $95.40 as we look at it right now. Good one, mate. Lifejacket, I told you about the other day, the Titanic lifejacket, the only lifejacket ever gone to auction. It went gangbusters, and it was signed as well. A woman called Franka Telly, fellow survivors, they signed it.
It's got 12 pockets fitted with shoulder rests and side straps, if you need to know that. They thought 250 to 350 pounds, as in 1,000, went for 670, which is $1.5 million today. And a cushion went for $950,000. So Titanic, hot as 621 and a half. You're at Newstalk ZB. The Mike Hosking Breakfast full show podcast on iHeart Radio, powered by Newstalk ZB. Mike, morning.
Very informative briefing from Andrew on channel. Fuel storage, supply and support, much appreciated. Larry, it's all we do. It's the only reason we're here in the morning. Put a smile on your face. Bulgaria, which I was telling you about yesterday, looked like the former president, Radiv, was winning. He is winning. They're still counting as far as I can work out.
Anyway, six parties could pass the 4% threshold. 4% – you get weirdos in at 4%. You get weirdos in at 5%. Look at the New Zealand Parliament. But anyway, you make it down 4%. He's got six parties coming through. It'll be Bulgaria's eighth election in five years, so they're a problem. Anyway, he's left-leaning, but he's a communist. He's pro-Russia.
So it's all interesting in what's going on, especially given last week in Hungary. But the point being – He will win, but he may be in a minority government because no one else wants to work with him. So it's the Dutch all over again. Winning's one thing, but finding someone to coalesce with might well be a problem. So we'll follow that with a great deal of interest. Trending now.

Sam Moody's come from nowhere. And by the way, Ronnie is still unstoppable when he wakes up on the right side of the bed in the morning. This is the world championship sneaker which is going on at the moment.
Catherine Field in France shortly. Meantime, back here, what do you reckon is happening to our insurance given the weather? Well, we've had 46 weather events between autumn of last year and summer of this year. 33,172 claims, up 256%, which if you quickly did the maths is a storm every eight days. Bryce Davies is the AMI State and NZI's climate spokesperson and is with us. Morning.
Good morning to you. I suppose being a climate spokesperson for a bunch of insurance companies, you've never been busier. This is your time to shine.
It is a very busy time.
We're seeing so many storms of late that, yes, there's lots to focus on. 33,172 claims. What I'm more interested in, though, is the actual dollars. Are you paying out a fortune?

Chapter 8: How does the current fuel supply situation impact Air New Zealand's operations?
Yeah, with the claims obviously comes a cost and we plan for that cost.
But yeah, it's increasing. Yeah, what I'm trying to find out though, it's all very well to say, look, there's 33,000 claims, but if they're all for pot plants that fell off a wall, it's not the same as having your house flooded. So are you materially paying out a fortune and all of this is going to come back to my letterbox when my premium goes up?
Well, Mike, your premium, if you're a typical homeowner, your premium, about 60% of your premium is going to be related to natural hazards, and that shows up as claims costs, it shows up as reinsurance costs, and taxes and levies in terms of the NHI premium. So as we see more of these storms come through, we see more damage, and it's typically wind damage, it is fuzzing.
then if you don't actually address that level of risk, it's going to have an impact on your premiums, absolutely.
What's happening with you with reinsurance? Are they looking at New Zealand aghast at the moment or not? Well, after the storms in 2023, they took another look at New Zealand.
They weren't really expecting us to have as large a storm as we did with Gabrielle and the Auckland flooding. So that adjustment's taken place. I mean, internationally... you know, what they call secondary perils, which simply means, you know, floods and storms to you and me.
If they had a look at that, they'd notice that that was changing and they've reflected that in what we pay and the amount of insurance we get.
So that's already kind of... And is that an ongoing process? I mean, like Wellington yesterday, I mean, what a freak storm that was. I mean, Wellington doesn't get that weather, but now seemingly it does. Yeah, yeah, shocking, shocking weather down there.
It's a constant thing that, just like we do, every year we have to think about the risks that we face, and we factor that into the premiums we ask our customers to pay. It's the same with reinsurers. They're looking around the world, they're seeing what's going on, and they'll simply reflect that in their pricing.
