There's confidence from the wool sector that Kainga Ora will learn the value of wool carpets.

The social housing agency's back-tracking on a previous ban after using synthetic carpets for more than a decade.

It will now allow wool carpet providers to tender for carpet and underlay contracts.

Campaign for Wool general manager Kara Biggs told Andrew Dickens there's an opportunity to show Kainga Ora how wool can compete on price and value now.

She says that wool is natural, flame resistant, warmer, and more absorbent, which means it's a better and healthier alternative for those in community housing.

Andrew Dickens: Simeon Brown's health announcement is well overdue 1:31

منذ 1 hour1:31

1:31

How did we manage to bring so many people into the country and fail to have enough doctors when they get here. This is the question we’ve all asked every surge of immigration we’ve ever had. And there’s been many. I’m one. I came out in 1965 with my English father and Kiwi mum. And there’s been many more waves. Every time we’ve opened the door there seems to have been an attitude that we’ll take the immigrants labour, money and advantages but ignore the consequences of a bigger population. So Simeon Brown's announcement of a faster track to qualifying overseas doctors who come here is welcome and about time. Our immigration booms have distorted our society. It swamped our motorways; it put strain on housing and infrastructure. And it crushed our service sector including doctors. Yet it also made people think we had a rockstar economy. It was artificial. If the economy is rocking but you can’t see a doctor, is it really rocking? Finally, we seem to be realising that if we bring in more people, we need to look at the whole picture.

Andrew Dickens: Trump's meeting with Zelensky was schoolyard bullying Well who didn’t see the Trump Zelensky meltdown coming? The whole thing has been a show for the crowds and not a real play for peace. Before the summit Zelensky made it very clear that he wanted a ceasefire but with security guarantees. Reportedly America told Zelensky not to mention the security guarantees at the press conference. But that’s the heart of his position. He doesn’t trust Putin because they’ve had a ceasefire with Putin before that Putin broke. Trump made it very clear he wants out and he wants a payoff of minerals for everything the US has put in so far. He has a mandate for that. He campaigned on it and he got the vote. So when they met and the press started recording, Trump and Vance spoke as though their plan was a fait d’accompli. But it wasn’t. Ukraine has always said “no security guarantee no deal” So when Zelensky starts reminding them of what had happened in the past, Trump and Vance went 2 on 1 and gave him a lesson. It was schoolyard stuff. Beating up the immigrant kid with English as a second language. Trump and Vance were playing to their American public. The American public that voted for Trump that are sick of trillions of their dollars going to a place they barely know. That American public is now saying Zelensky wants to continue with the war. But that's not so. Europe is prepared to insure the peace but America is not. Putin must love it. America is now selfish and irrelevant while Europe's underinvestment in defence is glaring. And I need to remind Americans that back in the day when Winston Churchill came to Washington to convince America to enter World War 2 he came dressed in a military boiler suit to signify he was in an actual war while the Americans weren’t. Zelensky is in a war. Trump and Vance are not. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Mike Casey: Rewiring Aotearoa CEO on the need to enforce any potential changes to the energy sector 3:50

Changing the rules of the electricity sector is one thing, getting the sector to follow the rules could be another. The Electricity Authority is proposing requiring the four main electricity generators to sell power to independent companies at the same price they sell power to themselves. The independents would also get the same access to hedge contracts, protecting them from price fluctuations. Mike Casey —the chief executive of electrification advocacy group Rewiring Aotearoa— told Andrew Dickens the rules need to be given teeth. He says there is a lot of work that needs to be done to make sure this actually happens, rather than being enforced after the fact. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…

Speculation over how much the United States intervened in the Romanian justice system, to help the Tate brothers reach American soil. A private jet believed to be carrying Andrew and Tristan Tate has landed in Florida, in the midst of Romanian investigations into their trafficking, and rape charges. European Correspondent Vincent McAviney told Andrew Dickens it appears Richard Grenell - a special US presidential envoy - held a meeting with the Romanian foreign minister at the Munich Security Conference to let them leave. McAviney says once in the US, it's highly unlikely extradition for Romanian and UK charges would be possible. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.…
