Judith Collins has revealed the Defence Force's major spending blueprint release has been delayed until next year, citing escalating world tensions. Speaking after appearing before a Select Committee this afternoon, the Defence Minister says the capability plan has been pushed back because she's taking the time to get things right.   Collins says there's more 'militarisation' efforts coming out of places like China - and it's unlike anything she's seen before. "The recent Chinese Navy Renhai-class cruiser and destroyer visiting Port Vila, Vanuatu, in October this year - that's the first time we've seen ships of that capability in that position when they weren't just coming back from somewhere else and stopping off."

A huge political victory for Auckland mayor Wayne Brown. Having campaigned on taking greater control over Auckland’s CCO’s (Council Controlled Organisations), the mayor is set to get his wish when it comes to Auckland Transport. Transport Minister Simeon Brown has confirmed that Auckland's transport policy and planning will shift from AT back over to Auckland Council. Remember, under the current model - Auckland Council has had two elected councillors on the board of AT. But Wayne Brown argued this assigned too much of the major decision making to unelected officials. He was always lamenting that people came up to him in the street and moaned to him about problems that were AT's responsibility, not realising that actually the council had limited control. Like all power, of course, you have to be careful what you wish for. If Auckland Council and the local boards are to have more authority over transport planning in our biggest city, they'll also have the blame if residents don't feel they're making the right calls. Under the changes, Auckland Council will retain a transport CCO. But - his opponents have to accept that Wayne Brown has surprised a lot of people as mayor. He has built relationships on both sides of the political spectrum and advocated effectively for Auckland's ratepayers. He promised to get greater control over the Council Controlled Organisations - and Auckland Transport was top of the list. And whether you like the council's subsequent transport policies or not - on that promise, he has delivered. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

President-elect Donald Trump's latest policy announcements continue to have an impact on capital markets.

Mortgage holders have been hoping the banks will pass on the latest 50 basis point cut to the OCR - but many will have to wait.

Some action's already been taken to try and prevent a repeat of the HMNZS Manawanui sinking. The navy vessel went down nearly two months ago after hitting a reef during a survey of the Samoan coast.

Defence Minister Judith Collins told Heather du Plessis-Allan it’s incomprehensible. “Except that we also know that sometimes even with the best will in the world, people make mistakes, and then someone else makes a mistake, and it becomes, in this case, a lost ship and people’s lives being unnecessarily put at risk.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
