2024/07/15

The Police Minister is defending the Government's pay increase for police, despite concerns of a mass exodus. An independent arbitrator has ruled in favour of the Government's offer which includes a $1500 lump payment, an at least $5000 backdated wage increase, and increased overtime pay from July next year. However, many cops are unhappy. Mark Mitchell told Ryan Bridge while he understands where they're coming from, the government worked hard to put this together. He says they've had a huge

We've just adopted a hope, wait, and see approach to policing in this country. This at a time when crime is out of control, people don't feel safe in their own homes and on city streets. 150-thousand retail crimes were reported last year. Despite their best efforts, our cops are struggling to keep up and they've just been delivered a slap in the face by the government. The Police Association has lost its final-offer arbitration over pay increases, meaning the government won. Chris Cahill says he

2024/07/14

Barring any other major, ugly affronts to democracy this U.S. election season, the image of a bloodied former president surrounded by Secret Service agents gripping his fist and pumping it into the air after narrowly avoiding an assassination attempt will be one of the most enduring and iconic. He's reported to be saying fight, fight. fight, with a somewhat understandably angry look on his face. Donald Trump cheated death. Questions are no doubt being asked about how and why this could have

There's growing debate about what the alleged assassination attempt on Donald Trump will do to a politically turbulent America. Trump was hit in the ear by a bullet after a shooter opened fire at a Republican rally in Pennsylvania. Presidential historian Allan Lichtman says the political violence may well have a silver lining, as it did after the shooting of Ronald Reagan in 1981. "Instead of seeking revenge or attacking his political opponents, he formed a campaign for gun control - and for a

The Government's stronger approach towards unruly Kainga Ora tenants has resulted in more being evicted. Housing Minister Chris Bishop ordered the public housing agency to end the Sustaining Tenancies Framework in March this year, and strengthen management of disruptive tenants. Since then, 14 tenancies have been terminated, compared to only 8 last year. Community Housing Aotearoa chief executive Paul Gilberd says there were no consequences for the last six years.

Ever tried to buy a pair of shoes online recently? What about a book? Or even book a haircut? You would have been asked a billion questions. It starts with what day and time you want your haircut. Yep, fine, but then they want your; name, address, birthdate, postal address, how did you hear about us? What shampoo do you use? I didn't ask for all that.

Economists' Official Cash Rate expectations have proven correct. It's staying at 5.5% for the eight consecutive time. But the Reserve Bank's tone has softened, and they’re hinting that inflation will return to its 1-3% target by the year's end. ANZ Chief Economist Sharon Zollner told Ryan Bridge that the Reserve Bank was pretty careful to leave all their options open regarding a rate cut. She said that they see it as tilting the risks a little bit towards earlier cuts, but essentially, it’s
