Leeann Watson: Business Canterbury CEO on Christchurch City Council becoming the consenting authority for supermarkets, Environment Canterbury, KiwiSaver

Christchurch City Council's been selected to act as a one-stop consenting authority for large-scale supermarket developments. Finance Minister Nicola Willis says it's the latest step in the Government plan to make New Zealand attractive for new operators. She says developers previously had to navigate up to 66 different councils, processes and responses. Willis says the aim is to boost competition in a sector dominated by Foodstuffs and Woolworths by letting new entrants deal with just one authority. Business Canterbury CEO Leeann Watson told John MacDonald that the intention of having a one-stop shop regardless of the number of sites you’re operating on is sound. She says that they’ve heard from businesses who operate across multiple sites that there’s a real inconsistency across the local authorities, which can be incredibly painful to deal with. But, Watson says, whether or not this plan creates the right incentives is still yet to be seen. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kerre McIvor: Predictable howls of outrage over new accommodation expense

Housing was a big talking point in this year's election, just as it was in the 2017 election and deservedly so.There were 19,438 on the State House waiting list, up from 5,844 applicants on the Housing Register at the end of the month before the change of Government. And more than four thousand people are in emergency accommodation in motels. The situation is dire and not helped by the fact that a number of private landlords have left the property market, leaving charity providers and the state to pick up the slack.Again, the unintended consequences of good intentions. The Ministry of Social Development has started charging people in motels and other emergency accommodation a fee for the roof over their respective heads - 25 per cent of their income. And predictably, this has brought howls of outrage from charity groups.They say it’s taking from the poor and giving to the rich and that most people in emergency accommodation were on benefit payments which were already low and those payments will now be cut by a quarter. However, the policy change brings emergency housing into live with other state funded housing like transitional homes and state houses.In part to its designed to recoup some of the costs associated with emergency housing - which has cost the country 83 million dollars for the last three months alone - up from 8 million per quarter in 2017. It's an eye watering amount of money which I'm sure few of us would begrudge if it was being spent to house humans in their own, sustainable, long term healthy home.But it's not. It's being spent keeping them, basically in holding cells, until the government comes up with a plan for housing that actually works. And I'm sure it’s going to be tough seeing your income go down by a quarter - but surely if you are one of those in the motels, who's been paying nothing for months, you're going to have to learn how to budget for rent sooner rather than later.Otherwise you're only going to come to grief when you are finally put into a home of your own. There needs to be a plan to immediately find permanent, or semi-permanent solutions for these people. We simply cannot keep spending 83 million dollars every three months for what is, in effect, nothing. No change. No benefit. No improvement. Dear me. A year of those payments would buy 4000 houses at market rates around the country. Problem solved.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

John MacDonald: We need to ditch this obsession with uni degrees

I didn’t go to university and there’s a bit of a dad joke that I trot out about that now and again. I say that I’m a student of life, in no rush to graduate. So maybe I’m coming at this with a biased view of the world, but I agree with this academic at the University of Canterbury who is saying today that universities have just become factories that pump out people with degrees. And he wants them to become elite institutions again. What’s more, he’s saying that because universities are so focused on getting people in the door and giving them a qualification, it’s meant that there are people at university who shouldn’t be. And how does he know that? Or why does he think that? It’s because of the number of students at university that, he says, are illiterate. In fact, he reckons it’s got so bad that it’s reached “a crisis level”. Mike Grimshaw is his name. He’s an Associate Professor of Sociology at Canterbury. And, as well as saying today that universities need to get all elite on it again, he’s also pointing the finger at the education system. Primary schools, in particular. Which he says are failing to create what he calls a reading and writing culture because they have become more interested in technology than education. This is how he’s describing it today. He’s saying that schools, and society in general, have “swallowed the technological Kool Aid without actually valuing education.” So that’s where his finger is pointing. He says many students "appear to be functionally illiterate - going on the incoherence of their written work. Compulsory writing or critical thinking courses do not seem to help as they can pass these and still regularly submit incoherent work.” So I get what he’s saying about the school system failing kids so that, by the time they reach university, their reading and writing isn’t what it should be. But I’m also going to point the finger at employers, because the fact that people have to have a university degree just to get a foot in the door at a lot of outfits is something I’ve been hot on for a long time. I think it’s crazy. And it’s not just because I didn’t go to university, it’s not just because I learned how to be a journalist on the job at a local newspaper. It’s because a university degree doesn’t make someone better suited for a job. If someone’s a real nosey type, who won’t take “no” for an answer and who isn’t scared to knock on someone’s door to see if they want to talk, but doesn't have piece of paper from a university, they will be a way better journalist than someone who went to university, got a degree but is too scared to talk to people. I’m sure you can think of jobs or professions where natural inclination or natural skill way outshines the benefit of a university degree. But, for some reason, a lot of employers these days don’t want to know you if you haven’t got a qualification. When it comes to university, my view is that there should only be two reasons for someone to go. The first is if you absolutely have to because of the career you want - so that’s things like law, engineering, medicine. The other reason is if you really want to. And that’s probably the key bit here, because, if you really want to go to university, chances are you’re not going to be illiterate. Universities these days are full of people who don’t really want to be at university but they think they have to if they want to get a job, and they’ll be the ones who Mike Grimshaw at UC is talking about today. And that’s why employers have to take some of the blame here. Employers who know full well that someone could do the job for them just as well —with or without a university degree— but, for some reason, they’re only interested in talking to the people with the degree and the framed photo on the wall.
