2024/07/16

Latest data due out this morning is expected to show inflation is slowing down faster than expected but will it be enough to bring down interest rates? ANZ's Henry Russell and Infometrics' Brad Olsen expect a headline rate of 3.3%, but driven by offshore factors. Russell says a lot of the decline in inflation is being driven by things like food prices, fuel and airfares and Olsen says the Reserve Bank will be more worried about "non-tradable" domestic inflation.

There’s confidence Māori health outcomes won't be impacted by Pharmac focussing on health determinants rather than ethnicity. In a letter of expectations to Pharmac Board Chair Paula Bennett, David Seymour says he doesn't think its commitment to embedding the Treaty of Waitangi is appropriate, and it’s no longer expected. Seymour says the drug-buying agency's burnt a lot of energy doing that over recent years. Patient Voice Aotearoa's Malcolm Mulholland told Ryan Bridge he's okay with that

The rolling out of more speed camera signs has support from the AA. Transport Minister Simeon Brown has announced more than 100 signs will go up across the country, giving people the opportunity to check their speed and avoid tragic consequences. AA Road Safety Spokesperson Dylan Thomsen told Ryan Bridge it's a positive move. He says they expect to see a reduction in tickets being dished out at high-risk sites, meaning fewer drivers exceeding the speed limit. Thomsen describes it as a long

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2024/07/16

I'm not a huge fan of former PMs sticking their oar into the water of current political debates. Not only are their thoughts rooted in briefings given by officials long ago, but when attacking a sitting Prime Minister, they tend to sound a bit whingy and out-of-touch. This is the case of Helen Clark and Don Brash, who've issued a statement condemning Christopher Luxon for comments he made to the Financial Times on the sidelines of NATO in Washington D.C.. Luxon said a few things: 1. We need to

Australia’s Opposition leader is edging ahead in the polls amid growing economic concerns. A national Resolve poll saw Peter Dutton eclipse Anthony Albanese as preferred Prime Minister for the first time, backed by 36% of voters compared to Albanese’s 35%. Australia Correspondent Donna Demaio told Ryan Bridge support for the Coalition lifted from 36% to 38%, while Labour remains on 28%. She said that it’s the lowest level since Albanese took power at the last election in 2022. LISTEN ABOVE See

There's a belief the Government's new service for young job seekers is a nudge in the right direction. Social Development Minister Louise Upston's announced a new phone case management service for people on the Jobseeker Benefit, due to expand to 4000 people. 18-24-year-olds will receive monthly calls, with benefit sanctions if the person misses the call without good reason.

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

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. At this point I'd rather pull my hair out in clumps than sit here and answer all these stupid, irrelevant questions. I've been trying to get paid this
