It seems the labour party has not learned a thing about running a country. Their first policy for next years vote is out, so congrats on that. The first cab off the rank is a wealth fund. The idea is not necessarily a bad one. You take money from dividends and distribute it out about the place to create jobs. The obvious questions though …were not answered. How much does it cost? …don't know. What industries or entities or businesses are involved? …don’t know. How many jobs will it create? …don't

The country's second-largest electricity gentailer says rising electricity prices are the result of rising lines charges. Inflation's now back up at three-percent. The single biggest driver is electricity prices - which have increased 11.3 percent in the past year. Contact Energy Chief Executive Mike Fuge says electricity firms are having to pass on the fixed lines charges that cover the cost of infrastructure. He says they rose by about 20-percent last year and about 16-percent this year. LISTEN

There are concerns that Labour's trying to fix a capital problem that kiwis don't have. The party's pitching a $200million Future Fund that re-invests dividends from specified Crown assets, into businesses and infrastructure projects. It'll invest solely in local projects. Icehouse Ventures CEO Robbie Paul told Mike Hosking the policy is agreeable and directionally correct, but wonders if there's a gap in the capital market.

Another spike in inflation won't stop the Reserve Bank from cutting the Official Cash Rate again next month. Stats NZ is providing its latest quarterly CPI update at 10.45. Most economists expect it to hit the Reserve Bank's upper limit of three-percent, and some think it will surpass that limit.
