Political commentator Matthew Hooton has written a piece in the NZ Herald saying, "Grant Robertson's $60 billion spend-up and Adrian Orr's money printing have made New Zealand asset holders nearly $1 trillion better off, while the poor have fallen further into debt." "Twenty-something Kiwis considering returning home report London property prices are below Auckland's, while salaries are three times as high. They also know that under 30s are doomed to have to pay back most of Robertson's $60b debt."

Well, the polls have been giving signs that a National Party revival was underway, and last night's One News Kantar poll confirmed that National has bounded ahead seven points to 39% to take the lead in the latest poll, the first since January. Labour’s dropped three points to 37%. It's the first time National has been ahead of Labour since February 2020, which of course was a month before Covid-19 entered the lexicon, entered the world, and New Zealand was plunged into lockdown.

The Commerce Commission has concluded competition is "not working well" in the supermarket sector, recommending a mandatory code of conduct for suppliers. However, the competition watchdog has stopped short of requiring major structural change in the $22 billion sector.

The Newsroom headline 'Luxon Spies an Opportunity' kind of sums it up really. National's leader delivered his State of the Nation speech over the weekend, and basically went back to the future with a promise to reverse Labour's tax grab should National be voted in 2023. Labour spends your money. National gives you your money back. It's the traditional trope. Christopher Luxon was right not to dwell on Covid, even though we've had more hospitalisations and infections with the Omicron variant than

As Omicron bites and more people are being forced to isolate for extended periods of time, the staff shortages in this country across just about every sector have become critical. The aged care sector is an example - a broad coalition of residents, workers and facility operators has written to the Health Minister warning him that staffing shortages in the sector could become catastrophic if more workers go into isolation. And it's not just the aged care sector that's suffering. In the New Zealand

And with some of the world's biggest cryptocurrency exchanges staying put in Russia, the European Union and United States said they would include crypto currencies in sanctions.

It was pretty ugly yesterday afternoon, wasn't it? What began with creches and concerts and herb gardens and Kumbaya ended in violence and arson. The Wellington protesters believed they had right on their side. They believed they had all of New Zealand behind them. But ultimately, they believe that their rights superseded the rights of other New Zealanders to go about their business, to go to school, to commute, to work. Their rights don't supersede the rights of other New Zealanders. Protest all

Well, yesterday we got an apology from the Director-General of Health, Dr Ashley Bloomfield, over delays in people receiving their Covid test results last week. He said, as if it was some sort of revelation, that higher test positivity rates meant pooling or batch testing became unfeasible and thus processing tests took longer. There were also problems because they had vacancies in the labs that they couldn't fill and the labs were already down workers because many were in isolation because of the

Welcome to Tuesday the 1st of March and what a red letter day! Today is a day of joy and unabashed delight. Looking overseas, we have almost universal pressure from the world on Russia to end its occupation of Ukraine, it's I think the first time I have seen in my lifetime the world coming together and saying no, this is unacceptable and they're prepared to put money where their mouths are in terms of the sanctions, in terms of not allowing Russian athletes deployments across the board, it's just

There's praise all around for New Zealand rea$ching a free trade deal with the United Kingdom. Trade Minister Damien O'Connor says our free trade deal with the UK is a gold standard agreement. The UK has agreed to eliminate tariffs on our exports, with duties removed on 99.5 percent of current trade into the UK. Kiwi exporters are expected to save about 37 million a year on tariff elimination alone. It's expected to boost our GDP by $700 million to $1 billion. Laura Clarke is the British High

New Zealand has joined other Western leaders in condemning the invasion and imposing sanctions against Russia.

It was interesting reading the New Zealand Herald headline "Ready, set, go! Employers brace for the Kiwi worker exodus as borders reopen." Over the past couple of months, I've received numerous texts and the old email from people saying, right that's it, I'm off to Australia. Mostly they’re people who identify themselves as young professionals, which is concerning. I haven't heard this much chat about heading to OZ, because of dissatisfaction with the way the country is going, since the final days

Urgent changes to government policy are needed to control the conversion of sheep and beef farms to pine trees for carbon farming, according to a discussion paper funded by councils and farmers. The paper, by former Hastings Mayor and National Party MP Lawrence Yule, argues that short-term land-use decisions are being made to the detriment of long-term land-use flexibility, rural communities and export returns.

2022/02/24

As we move into phase three of the Government’s Covid plan and learn to live with Covid in the community, I would have to wonder whether this government can continue to justify locking thousands of New Zealanders out of their own country. Yesterday we had 6137 community cases recorded of Omicron in the country. There would be many, many more than that. There were 338 cases detected at the border. So, given that, how on Earth can the Government justify keeping up these facilities? Even

Apart from brief sort of bursts of normality and then it's back to being like the parrot on the Marie Celeste, wondering where everybody is gone. For some people who joined the company over the past 24 months, they've only ever known Zoom meetings and using their bedroom as an office. Which means for

Sport NZ has today launched #itsmymove - a campaign to help young women get and stay active their way. It has been developed to address declining physical activity levels in teenage girls. Research undertaken by Sport NZ shows young women increasingly opt out of formal sporting environments as they grow older. By age 17, the top three activities young women undertake are running, workouts and walking. Some of the reasons they opt out include body image, judgement, time pressures, motivation and loss

Everyone agrees it's not a matter of if, but of by how much, the Reserve Bank raises its official cash rate today. Commentators are picking a rise of 25 basis points, which means rising a quarter of a percentage point to 1%. However, others wouldn't be surprised to see a rise of 50 basis points, I think, bookies are putting it around 30%. The reason is that we have inflation galloping away on us, and the Reserve Banks remit requires the bank to keep inflation between 1% and 3% on average over the
