Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Full Show Podcast: 20 July 2026
Q: Is $1 billion for new seismic surveys a good policy for energy resilience and economic growth?
Opinions varied: some callers saw it as a strategic investment to uncover domestic resources and reduce reliance on imports, while others warned about political risk and potential cancellation by future governments; guests emphasized data quality and investor confidence as key determinants.
John Carnegie: Chief Executive of Energy Resources Aotearoa responds to NZ First's election promise
Q: John, what are the chances this $1 billion survey would find major reserves?
The guest explains that while there are multiple prospective basins and some historical indications of resources, the outcome depends on data quality, seismic information, and the economics of exploration; the survey could improve confidence and attract investment if it reveals viable opportunities, but certainty remains contingent on future explorations and regulatory stability.
Gareth Abdinor: employment lawyer on how to work around redundancies and AI
Q: What should a worker do if KiwiSaver deductions seem incorrect for many years?
Gareth advises initiating a written claim with the employer, requesting a breakdown, and consulting a lawyer to determine if back payment or adjustments are warranted, especially after many years.
Gareth Abdinor: employment lawyer on how to work around redundancies and AI
Q: Is it legal to require an employee to come in on their day off for a fire drill and be paid only for the time worked?
Gareth notes this is highly situational, suggests considering contractual rights and reasonableness, but implies this is uncommon and could raise issues around compensation and availability.
Gareth Abdinor: employment lawyer on how to work around redundancies and AI
Q: Is it possible to terminate an employee who is in custody facing a long sentence for criminal charges?
Gareth explains that while termination is possible in many cases, employers must follow a fair process, consider the impact of extended absence, and typically offer a chance to respond; not every such situation allows simply keeping the role open for years.
