What recent developments are affecting the job market?
tough on power sharp on insight the mike husking breakfast with bailey's real estate your local experts with national and global reach news talk zb good news fast track is working also the job market's got a bit of life and it concerns though over our lab services when you go get your bloods done zach griffith was back for a song in a chat as his debut album gets released catherine field has got the french connection in the brady is in the uk 7 past 6, welcome to the day. Poor old Oz, eh? Finding out governments can't fix everything over the weekend. So we often get governments or want governments to fix everything because we collectively aren't up to fixing things ourselves. Social media rules, right?
How is the Australian government handling social media regulations?
Australia was the pioneer. A chunk of the world followed. Australia, to a degree, was hailed a hero. And yet Albanese over the weekend has exploded with frustration a few short months after introducing those rules because... They don't work. Two-fold problem.
What are the implications of price gouging laws in supermarkets?
One, the customer base, i.e. the kids don't like the ban and work hard to get around it. And two, the tech companies don't like the ban and work hard to get around it.
What insights can we gain from the latest news on the economy?
Parents, who should have done most of the heavy lifting, of course, hoped the government would save the day. They haven't, nor will they. Then the supermarkets. A problem of much interest here, of course. They have, as of July 1, tomorrow, a new price gouging tool. The first country in the world... to bring in a ban for price gouging you will officially not be allowed to price gouge obvious question what is price gouging and who decides funny story that they haven't quite worked that bit out yet despite the fact july 1's tomorrow and so you can pretty much bet that in a few months time you will see the return of a frustrated albanese once again having been foiled by the big players who will continue to argue forever just what is meant by price gouging
Which is not, of course, to say the broad idea behind these rules is a bad thing. But it is to very simply point out that governments who think they can control everything can't.
How is the education system impacting international student enrollment?
And people who rely on governments to control everything will be forever disappointed. In Tech's case, they are global and too big to be contained, basically. I mean, ask the Europeans. They must have been fining them trillions of dollars by now. to no great effect. And in the supermarkets case, pricing on goods by the tens of thousands, which is what they do, is so varied and so complex, no one-stop shop of government rules and regulations is ever going to give everyone what they want all the time. As for us in New Zealand, we really have done little of anything about either of these problems. And you might argue that's the smart move, given those who think they control it all actually control very little.
News of the world in 90 seconds.
Some insight overnight, slightly vague, lacking in detail, but nevertheless some insight to what old Andy has lined up when he becomes Britain's next PM.
I am going to give Britain the circuit breaker it needs by taking power out of the centre. and putting it in the hands of the people and places who can use it best.
Yeah, that's the number 10 Manchester thing. Kimmy spotted the obvious problem.
That's what MPs are for. MPs are there to represent their constituencies with the government.
What challenges are facing the medical lab system in New Zealand?
A devolved mayor can't lower energy costs. A devolved mayor cannot change regulations and laws. A devolved mayor can't really cut any taxes.
Even the First Minister of Wales has some issues. We can't have somebody who has made great play of understanding devolution through the lens of Manchester now seeming to want to close the door on some of those fundamental issues that we need to get to grips with in relation to Wales. In Venezuela, the Brits have arrived to help.
We witnessed three rescues last night, so the window of opportunity of rescue is still there, so it's quite good. We're getting quite good intelligence on further sites where we are currently got teams out exploring those areas for night casualties.
