National wants to see every child leave school with at least three years of high school education, and if they do, perhaps they'll be able to do sums on the fly, and understand when things are right and things are wrong when it comes to numbers and percentages.

I'd have been able to whistle up the number in a heartbeat.

Education spokesperson, Erica Stanford, joins me now.

Very good morning to you.

Good morning, Kerre.

How are you?

Well, you know.

Come on, sort yourself out.

The government is cracking down on what's been called rock pool vandalism, announcing tough new restrictions on shellfish gathering around Auckland and Coromandel.

From November, large areas of the intertidal zone will be closed to harvating- harvesting species like mussels, limpets, and cat's eyes, with new catch limits and stronger enforcement also on the way.

um uh i was gonna do another story but honestly i'm i'm pooped the the general gist of the story um uh actually go go watch it there was a there was an interview with chris hipkins on news talk cb it's like a 50 minute interview it was pretty good with um answering audience questions or answering listeners questions they phone in and ask him some somewhat reasonable questions um i did appreciate that one of them said uh i asked christopher luxen twice and he didn't really give me an answer so i'm going to ask you as well and it was talking about the underfunding if not completely defunding um budget services and chris hipkins was very very clear and straight and said yeah that's something that we are absolutely looking to refund and make sure that that's available to people um so good on him he made a lot of promises in that in that 15 minutes so i'm a little bit like okay okay buddy One of the pieces that really pissed me off is Carrie, I don't know her last name is.

She's one of the Newstalk ZB hosts.

She pushed back on Chris's claim that Nicola Willis is spending more, this government's spending more, borrowing more, whatever.

And she was like, no, no, that's not true.

You know, it was certainly a taste of my... of my hosting ability, but it did have some great moments.
