772 - Save Money this Black Friday & the Haka Interruption - 14th November 2024
Today on the show...
I’ll give you my take on the heat, the haka and the hot heads who got the message from Gerry that was clear - 'haere atu' or 'get out' as it's known in English. All this fuss over a bill that is going nowhere what a waste of time and space. But first tonight retailers have had the hardest year in decades - they haven’t got time to fly the flag on the harbour bridge, they’re too busy working. But relief is in price comparison. PriceMe says people have kept their powder dry for a big spend up on Black Friday which this year looks set to be a big Thursday, Friday and Saturday! PriceMe CEO, Gavin Male joins us to discus it all.

756 - The Cat Crisis - 24th October 2024
Today on the show...
Should we limit the numbers of cats a person can have to just 2? I say yes and here’s why…
They are out of control and the Government is refusing to do anything about it. It has decided today to reject the recommendation to have a new law governing cats which would have seen all cats registered, desexed, and microchipped. A framework already exists for dogs, but the Government has turned down the recommendation saying there’s no scope... Meaning it can’t be bothered . The SPCA says we have a cat crisis and this will make it worse.
