The All Blacks are coming up to a big test this weekend, facing off against Australia in the first match of the Bledisloe Cup. It’s been almost two weeks since their back-to-back losses against South Africa, so what went wrong and do they have the time to fix it?

There are expectations that cuts to the Official Cash Rate are now going to keep on coming. Yesterday's Stats NZ figures show our GDP contracted 0.2% in the three months to June. In the March quarter, 0.1% growth was recorded. ASB Chief Economist Nick Tuffley says the numbers show inflation's falling within the Reserve Banks expectations. He told Ryan Bridge they're now going to continue cutting the OCR to get it from 5.25% to around 3%. Tuffley says if they cut a quarter every meeting, we'll

A barrister has doubts about increasing the threshold for the right to a jury trial. Currently a defendant can choose between a jury or a judge-alone trial in cases where the maximum penalty is two or more years in jail. The Government's seeking feedback on increasing this to three, five, or seven years, in a bid to address court delays. Philip Morgan KC told Ryan Bridge he questions the number of jury trials that will drop because of the threshold change. He says that's because he thinks the

I've not seen Luxon this tetchy and brassed off before. "Guys, no disrespect, but it's not about the frickin targets, it's actually about the outcomes, and the outcomes here are actually reducing violent crime." He was being asked about the national gang list which the cops have been sanitising. Hygienically cleaning it apparently to remove the dead and those who've said goodbye to thug life. The reason he's worked up is the targets: they're off track and he's being peppered, or assaulted,

An economist says another GDP contraction today would be in-line with the idea we've been in a rolling recession for almost two years. The March 2024 quarter showed just 0.2% growth. BNZ is picking a 0.4% contraction in the second quarter. Chief Economist Mike Jones told Ryan Bridge the Reserve Bank's anticipating a 0.5% contraction, so it would take a real clanger to throw it off course. He says the bigger piece of news for interest rates in New Zealand and the Reserve Bank might be what

The eight week murder trial of Philip Polkinghorne is nearing a verdict, with the jury beginning deliberations this morning. The judge summed up the case yesterday. The Auckland eye surgeon's accused of killing his wife, Pauline Hanna; his defence argues she took her own life. Herald reporter Craig Kapitan told Ryan Bridge the jury only has two decisions - if it was murder or suicide. He says it likely won't be a quick decision, and if the jury need to deliberate past today, court won't sit

Tory Whanau's admission she sold her car to help keep on top of the bills is ironic, given she's the mayor of a city now famous for its double-digit rate hikes. Wellington City Council saw an 18.5% rise this year and 13% the year before. Wellington Regional Council is up 25% this year. They reckon over the next four years many will be paying an extra $3000 a year. I hope the Mayor's got a bike she can sell, or some furniture, or a nice handbag - something she can whack on Trade Me to stay

There’s a belief the economic climate is to blame for more youths fronting court over criminal charges. The Ministry of Justice's annual criminal convictions and sentencing statistics reveal more than 1,700 youths between 10 and 17 years of age had charges finalised in court. It found theft was the most common offence type. Youth Development worker Aaron Hendry told Ryan Bridge a key driver is poverty, and the Government's policies are creating an environment where these crimes would increase.

A new report has found Government vastly overestimated the cost of new home insulation standards. Building and Construction Minister Chris Penk is considering rolling back the H1 insulation requirements brought in last year amid reports they add up to $40 thousand to build costs. But research by New Zealand Certified Builders and others, shows the requirements can add as little as $2,200 to the cost of a three-bedroom house.

Here's why we should care about what sounds like a bit of an obscure trip from some U.S. officials to Beijing this week. They are going to meet to talk to their counterparts about a wave of Chinese goods flooding world markets. China, obviously, has enormous manufacturing capacity and enormous machine behind it, and the output has gotten too large for the world to absorb. The strategy by China, they reckon —and this is why the U.S. officials are going there— the strategy is demand at home is a

More children in this country are being hospitalised for preventable diseases. A new Cure Kids report reveals hospital admissions for respiratory, skin and rheumatic conditions, mental health issues and dental diseases, remain unacceptably high. It identifies social factors —like child poverty, housing conditions and inequitable access to care— as key drivers, and notes Māori and Pasifika children are disproportionately affected.
