Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2024/07/11

Retailers are hopeful, but wary, of the government's latest move to tackle retail crime. It's announced a Ministerial Advisory Group for the victims of the continuing problem. The group will speak with victims, workers and business owners over the next two years - before putting forward proposals to address offending. Retail NZ Chief Executive Carolyn Young told Ryan Bridge it's a positive move - but the solutions are pretty clear. Young says that includes more visible police presence on the

The Government has a new Ministerial Advisory Group on retail crime, but is it actually going to make a difference?

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

An activist group is calling the Government's new climate change plan meaningless. Minister Simon Watts has unveiled a five-point strategy for dealing with climate change which focuses on preparedness, clean energy, tech and nature-based solutions, and market support. 350 Aotearoa Co-Director Lisa McLaren told Ryan Bridge the announcement doesn't mean anything when the Government plans on making mining easier. She says the plan is fundamentally inconsistent with the Government's other policies

Actor and Democratic donor George Clooney has urged Joe Biden to drop out of the presidential race. All eyes have been on Biden at the NATO summit in Washington DC. Nancy Pelosi says time is running short for him to make a decision. US correspondent Katherine Firkin told Ryan Bridge Clooney has written an essay in the New York Times saying they need a new nominee.

Now could be the best time to build a house after costs fall for the first time in more than a decade. Corelogic's Construction Cost Index shows building costs have dropped 1.1% in the three months to June. It looks at the price of labour, material, plant hire, and subcontract services.

Nancy Pelosi's just dropped the equivalent of a NATO bomb on her old buddy Joe Biden. The former house speaker is well connected and respected in the Democrat party. Appearing on cable TV, she had this to say when asked about Biden's critics attacking his mental capacity during the NATO summit: "I want him to do whatever he decides to do." "Let's just hold off, whatever you're thinking either tell somebody privately, but you don't have to put that out on the table until we see how we go this

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

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.

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

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

Tana's been suspended on full pay for 115-days, earning over $40 thousand in that time.

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.
