It seems to me that the Christchurch City Council has really got it in for the Arts Centre. For starters, when the Arts Centre asked for $20 million in council support over the next 10 years, the council said “yeah, nah” and gave it just under $6 million instead. Now, it wants to sting the Arts Centre $18,000 for increasing the number of food truck…

With nearly every Comanchero gang member in this country facing criminal charges, is this the beginning of the end for this Australian outfit’s New Zealand operation?

Nothing brings out the redneck in me as much as a judge handing out a concurrent prison sentence. You know the situation. A person’s found guilty on, say, two charges —let’s say they get two-year sentences for each— but they don’t go to prison for two years plus two years (four years), instead, they serve the sentences concurrently. Meaning they’re…

The Christchurch City Council has learned nothing from the cathedral debacle. Because it’s now going to spend $19.5 million over the next four years, so that work can start on repairing and restoring the old provincial chambers building in the centre of town. $19.5 million. Nearly twice as much ratepayer money as what was going to go into the cathe…

I’m glad I’m not working in the health system. Not that I’d be much use if I was, I’ve never been that great with blood. But the reason I’m glad I’m not a doctor or a nurse or a GP or a specialist, is the big stick that’s being pointed at all those people by the Government with its new targets. If I was starting a shift on a ward somewhere right no…

If someone is 10 years old, they aren't legally allowed to smoke.

At last, Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton has come up with an idea that I actually agree with. There was his push recently for the speed limit on the Southern Motorway to be bumped up to 120 kph, just because people are driving that fast anyway. That wasn’t his finest hour. But this idea he’s pushing today - that new road tolls need to be created and hig…

It is time for Christchurch to get real. To get real and accept that we will never host the Commonwealth Games.

His idea is based purely and simply on his rose…

Life’s all about choices. And we need to make some. Outgoing Treasury boss Dr Caralee McLiesh says cutting costs here and there, like the Government is doing at the moment, isn’t going to be enough to really get the country's finances in order.

If you drive a petrol vehicle, how’s that $20-a-week tax cut looking now that the Government wants to sting you with road user charges? I’m being a bit facetious.

This week on Politics Friday, Labour’s Megan Woods and National’s Matt Doocey joined John to dig into some of the biggest political stories of the week.

Plus we get off in the weeds about bike geometry, and wrap things up by issui…

I love the Government’s thinking on infrastructure planning. It wants us to have a 30-year plan for big projects that politicians, generally, wouldn’t be able to muck around with. Which, of course, would give us all a lot of certainty. It would also give the people who invest their own money in infrastructure certainty, as well. So a great idea. Be…

Finance Minister Nicola Willis is visiting Christchurch today and joined John MacDonald in studio to give her thoughts on a few topics. They discussed National's infrastructure 30-year plan.

It’s not quite as fast as Selwyn mayor Sam Broughton wants it. But the Government’s thinking about raising the speed limit on the Southern Motorway between Rolleston and Christchurch to 110 kph per hour - which would be the highest speed limit in the South Island. Mayor Broughton reckons it should be 120, the Government thinks 110 is more like it, …

Sometimes, no matter how much of a greenie you might think you are, you just have to get real.

I think the Government’s done a John Key. You know - float an idea, wait for the noise, and change the thing people are making the most noise about. Which is exactly what’s happened with the new Fast Track legislation for large-scale infrastructure and mining projects.

If we thought the last government was a bunch of control freaks, the current one’s just as bad, isn’t it?
