Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2024/07/09

The Reserve Bank is expected to make a “short and sweet” announcement today. Economists are expecting the OCR to remain untouched at 5.5%, as it has the last six times. Westpac Chief Economist Kelly Eckhold told Ryan Bridge that the Reserve Bank said in May that interest rates would have to remain restrictive for a protracted period to get inflation down, so not much has changed for them. While some banks are predicting a cut this year, Westpac is holding firm on their prediction of early next

An EV advocacy group isn’t in favour of the changes to the clean car standards. Transport Minister Simeon Brown's announced he's scaling back the previous Government's emissions standards, which charged importers for higher emitting vehicles. Pollution targets for imported vehicles have been reduced, loosening penalties for importers of dirty cars.

The run at Wimbledon of New Zealand qualifier Lulu Sun has come to an end. UK correspondent Gavin Grey told Ryan Bridge the 23-year-old has been beaten in three sets by 28-year-old Croatian Donna Vekic. After winning the first set, and looking composed throughout much of the second in a classic back-and-forth slugfest, Sun looked on the edge of advancing further at just her second grand slam. However, she didn’t have an answer in the deciding set as the unseeded Croatian took control to book her

2024/07/09

Auckland's leg of SailGP will bring the boats to the spectators. The event will hold its first ever leg in Auckland in January. Auckland was supposed to hold an event last year, but that was cancelled after land use issues with Wynyard Quarter. Sail World Editor Richard Gladwell says Wynyard Point will probably be the main spectator base with necessary infrastructure already in place. He told Ryan Bridge the boats may even come a little too close. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener

2024/07/09

I'm always a little bit paranoid about what governments are planning and what kind of taxes that they're scheming up. Look at the UK, which recently elected Labour and Sir Keir Starmer as Prime Minister. They are talking about the potential of fiddling with their inheritance tax. They have one, we don't. On Heather's show yesterday we heard about the Labour Party in New Zealand weighing up whether to introduce one. I hate the idea of it. In the UK it's 40% and they paid £7.5 billion in death

2024/07/08

The changes to New Zealand’s medical cannabis export regulations are being called a ‘game changer’. Exports will now only have to meet the standards of the importing jurisdiction, rather than New Zealand’s standards. It will also streamline the licensing process for growers, and update testing and laboratory requirements. Sally King, Director of the New Zealand Medical Cannabis Council, told Ryan Bridge that it’s one of those examples of overregulation that is being untangled. She said that at

An aviation expert says Boeing's management would be in jail if it were subject to New Zealand law. The company's agreed to a guilty plea around defrauding American regulators. It could pay up to half-a-billion US dollars to avoid prosecution. The lawsuit relates to two Boeing 737 Max jets that crashed in Indonesia in 2018 —and Ethiopia the year later— leaving hundreds dead. Irene King told Ryan Bridge that prosecution is just one part of the equation. She doesn't think it does enough to

Question: how do the greens save money on marketing photoshoot costs for the next election? Answer: just use their candidates' mugshots. Now that's obviously a joke... they're not all criminals. But there were a few criminally absurd things that happened during yesterday's press conference about Darleen Tana. Chloe got a bit grumpy when a reporter asked, repeatedly, why the Greens are asking Tana to resign and shunning her in public, when old-mate Julie Anne Genter's still in the party despite
