2024/10/10

If these new TradeMe numbers are to be believed, and I have no reason not to believe them, then the biggest problem that we have with property and getting a foot on the ladder is not price. We're not too poor, we're too fussy. So TradeMe has done a survey; 44% of buyers were willing to compromise on the size of a section. Only 40% on the size of the property. Only 40% on the size of the garden. Only 33% on the condition of the property, and 28% on the location. If you flip those numbers, around 55%

The air quality in New Zealand has increased across the country, but some areas are still dealing with high levels of pollution. The Our Air 2024 report shows the level of key pollutants —largely produced by transport and home heating— has reduced across most monitoring sites. However, it also says air quality isn't good everywhere, and in some urban areas the pollution is above national standards and international guidelines. Director of the Air Quality Collective, Dr Guy Coulson told Ryan Bridge

Northland's power network is being zapped into action in the wake of the pylon collapse outage.

I know, I know we're celebrating this morning, the OCR, the money back in your pockets that's coming, inflation coming down. But MBIE has warned the government that electricity prices are likely to rise significantly over the next two years – this is a story from BusinessDesk. See, we have all seen the spot prices market increase, skyrocket even, but we haven't felt that at home because our gentailors, the guys that we get it off, insulate us by hedging.

The main suspect in the Madeleine McCann case has been cleared of separate rape charges. 47-year-old Christian Brückner was acquitted of five offences of sexual abuse in Portugal between 2000 and 2017. German investigators identified Brückner in 2020 as a suspect in the disappearance of McCann from Portugal in 2007. But UK Correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the judge found the witnesses weren't reliable enough to convict him of the rape charge. He said there’s crossover in some of the

The marine life around Samoa is likely in danger in the wake of Manawanui sinking. The $100 million naval ship struck a reef off the south coast of Upolu on Saturday, before sinking Sunday morning. About 950 tonnes of oil is onboard. Diesel leaked out of the vessel when it capsized and has coated the surface of the water. Waikato University ecology expert Nick Ling told Ryan Bridge much of the material released would have evaporated, leaving behind these heavier components we can see. He says

Complaints, backlash, outrage, divisive, sad, there's been strong reaction to the Tui billboards poking fun at old Polkinghorne – who’s not guilty of killing his wife, by the way. The billboards read, if you haven't seen them: "Back to being a respectable meth smoking, sex worker loving doctor then. Yeah right.” It's quite good. It's not breaking any rules, and I say good on them for getting back to this. We need good humour to cut through the crap that seems to proliferate our society at the
