Business analysts had been expecting Steven Joyce to announce further changes to tertiary education funding, when he called a press conference for this afternoon.

Every time I hear Rod Oram talk he comes across as wise and knowledgeable. He’s a business journalist and newspaper columnist, but he appears to have an intelligent opinion on everything. For example, this morning he sounded more like a town planning expert as he critiqued the new Christchurch CBD plan on Kathryn Ryan’s Nine to…

News that the Ten Network in Australia was considering axing his low-rating Breakfast show, has led to messages of sympathy and support for Mr Henry from all around the world.
