Judith Collins says race shouldn't be a factor in prosecution decisions. Solicitor-General Una Jagose KC has been under fire after advising prosecutors to "think carefully about particular decisions... where a person is Māori". Collins —in her capacity as Attorney-General— is refusing to endorse the directive. She told Ryan Bridge all prosecution decisions should be carefully thought about, but based on circumstances, not on race. Collins says it's not just about whether someone can be prosecuted,

Green Party delegates have voted to ask Speaker Gerry Brownlee to remove the now independent Darleen Tana from parliament. It's now down to Brownlee to decide if Tana's resignation from the party —but not Parliament— affects the proportionality of the House. Newstalk ZB political editor Jason Walls told Ryan Bridge the party was previously against the legislation even being in place. He says it's remarkable for as many delegates to come together and agree, and it draws a line under the situation

Team New Zealand’s America’s Cup lead has been halved. Ineos Britannia claimed the wins for races five and six, leaving the score at 4-2. ZB Sport Journalist Adam Cooper told Ryan Bridge that it’s more exciting than it is concerning for Team NZ.

2024/10/16

Inflation is expected to keep easing in the months to come. Overall inflation is back within the target range at 2.2% due to falling prices for imports like petrol and diesel. Domestically-driven non-tradeable inflation remains much higher at 4.9%, due to a sharp rise in rents, council rates and insurance premiums. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley told Ryan Bridge that inflation is expected to remain close to 2% over the next few years, with a chance of it edging below towards the end of 2025/26. He

2024/10/16

A timely reminder, an important one too, for me last night. I'm in Wellington, flew into the schmozzle storm yesterday for an event. It's easily one of the most beautiful cities in New Zealand, is it not? Can we all agree on that? With the hills jutting out of the harbour, all of the bush surrounding it. It is stunning and the weather was good, so that helped. It was absolutely beautiful flying in, and then you land and there's the road cones, and there's the Uber driver not happy, and the mayor's

Tauranga businesses are furious about what they label harsh outdoor dining fees following a tough winter. They've been waived for the rest of 2024, but in the new year businesses must pay an annual charge based on outdoor dining area. In Mount Maunganui it will be $150 per square metre used, which compares to Auckland, where the highest fee is $154 a square metre.

There’s an argument in favour of setting a maximum term for Supreme Court Judges. A report from New Zealand Initiative suggests the Supreme Court is getting an exaggerated view of its role and straying into Parliament's domain. Former ACT MP and lawyer Stephen Franks says there's been grumblings about it among some lawyers. He told Ryan Bridge that at the 20th anniversary of the Supreme Court this year, a leading KC presented a paper aligned with this belief. He says it read that the law is

The Reserve Bank was confident last week inflation is now below 3%. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Ryan Bridge that imported things like petrol and electronics have fallen in price, but rates, insurance, and services have increased.

Albanese, Australia's Prime Minister and Labour leader, he's just bought a $4 million cliff top mansion north of Sydney.

There's been yet another call to shake-up how Pharmac funds drugs in Aotearoa. Multiple Sclerosis New Zealand's independently commissioned report recommends the Crown entity adapts a cost benefit model. That means funding decisions would be made not just on the cost of a drug or medical device itself, but on the wider fiscal impact the decision would have on our society. President Neil Woodhams says that currently, Pharmac doesn't take into account the total economic costs —or costs to individuals—

The latest 1News-Verian poll was out last night. There wasn't a lot of change, other than a dip in the personal popularity of both Christopher Luxon and Chris Hipkins. Nothing really major is going on, is it? And it's been that way for a couple of polls. Now, what I find interesting is just the vibe, the energy levels that you're picking up off these guys. Luxon, he's like the road runner. You ever watch the Road Runner, the Looney Tunes thing? And he's beep-beep, beep-beep, running around in a
