Leighton Smith Podcast #316 - February 18th 2026 - Dr Mike Schmidt

There are numerous approaches to management: Legacy, Ideological, Corporate, and Political Management. These combine to produce a system that cannot sustain long-term strategies. “Cultivation Management is the alternative.” According to Dr Mike Schmidt, it is also the approach that Christopher Luxon needs to adopt to retain his Prime Ministership. And then there’s the question; can Mr Luxon afford to bypass the advice Schmidt has to offer? Advice that is equally applicable to most other forms of management. You can decide for yourself. And we visit The Mailroom with Mrs Producer. File your comments and complaints at Leighton@newstalkzb.co.nz OR Carolyn@newstalkzb.co.nz Haven't listened to a podcast before?

Steve Watt: President of the Police Association voices doubts over new 'move on' order

The Police Association has concerns around newly announced "move-on" orders - to deal with disorderly behaviour and homelessness. The Government is moving to give Police the power, to order someone sleeping rough, or begging, to leave a public space for up to 24 hours. They could face fines of up to two thousand dollars or spend three months in jail if they refuse. President Steve Watt told Mike Hosking that they know there's a problem there - but Police will have a lot of other call-outs. He says they don't have the staff to deal with this issue - as this is yet another job they'll have to do with already stretched resources.
