2023/11/06

New Zealand parents are becoming more relaxed about device use and safety. A survey by NIB has found device use and screentime is still a concern for 73% of surveyed parents, but only 46% are limiting screentime. That's down from 51% in 2021. Parenting expert Anna Martin told Kate Hawkesby that the pandemic has had an impact. She says research suggests that parents relaxed their attitude to online use during Covid, as it was helpful in allowing them to have some personal time. LISTEN

Political pundits wouldn't be surprised if coalition talks go on for some time yet. New Zealand First leader Winston Peters isn't answering questions about negotiations and he and Act's David Seymour aren't talking.

Questions raised after an 18-hour long hostage situation at Germany's Hamburg Airport. A 35-year-old man, with his four-year-old daughter, drove through airport security and onto the tarmac - before parking his car underneath an aeroplane. The chaos, that suspended almost 290 flights involving more than 34-thousand passengers, was revealed to be over custody arrangements. Europe Correspondent Gavin Grey told Kate Hawkesby the man eventually gave himself up, with the girl unharmed. He says

So, we now know Winston’s in the mix in a real and tangible way. He’s needed. We can thank special votes for that. So, I’m trying to look for positives, and trust me, it’s not easy - but I found one. He at least has institutional knowledge of how parliament works, what being a politician means, and how the place functions. That’s a benefit to Luxon because that’s more than he’s got. Being a newbie, it’s all new to Luxon. So, you add one old dog and one newbie - and maybe there in the

New research finds 46% of kiwi jobseekers still experience barriers when finding work. The 2023 Randstad Employer Brand Research Survey found factors such as sexual orientation, disability, language, gender identity, and ethnicity to be a barrier when applying for and securing a job. It found that 28% of male candidates believed these factors resulted in them missing out on the role, and 22% of women refused to work for a company whose values don’t align with their own.

Tim Dower: These past few weeks were a demonstration

Early Edition with Ryan Bridge ·

2023/11/02

Special votes, as I'm sure you know, are usually good for the left and National has said it expects to lose one or two seats from the election night count. If it was two, and even if the overhang goes, the maths is undeniable. It's a 120 seat Parliament, but that one-seat majority for the Nats and ACT is gone. And we all know what that means. I think Winston's petulant display in Wellington right after the election told us a lot about the way the new coalition is being drawn together. My read of

Three other charges relate to incidents in 2021 and 2022, as police allege a 48-year-old man became ill after meals. Australian correspondent Lesley

The future shape of our next government all comes out today. While the preliminary votes for the election were all counted up, the results of the around 570 thousand left over special votes will be released at two this afternoon. It will likely decide whether National and ACT will need New Zealand First to get into power. Political Editor Jason Walls told Tim Dower that the majority of special votes do tend to favour the left. He says people like John Key and Chris Bishop both expect to see

A nutritionist would love to see confectionary moved away from the checkouts. Countdown's aiming to make healthier choices easier for customers, and combat checkout 'pester power'. The supermarket chain —soon to be Woolworths— has committed to 80% of foods at checkouts carrying a Health Star Rating of 3.5 or more. It's also moving "kids confectionary" elsewhere. Nutritionist Nikki Hart told Kate Hawkesby that it’s got to be better than the current trend. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener

The Rafah crossing from Gaza to Egypt has opened for the first time since Israel's siege began more than three weeks ago. Palestinian officials say 335 foreign passport holders and 76 injured Gazans have been able to leave so far. It's thought 88 injured Palestinians and around 500 foreign nationals will be allowed out in the first phase. US Correspondent, Mitch McCann, told Kate Hawkesby that the exits are due to a deal brokered by Qatar between Israel, Hamas, and Egypt, coordinating with the

So tomorrow we finally —after such a ridiculously long wait— get the final vote count. Specials will be done, duplicates checked, ballots finalized, we will know where we’re at, and more importantly, what form the new government might take. The fact we’ve had three weeks in limbo is completely ludicrous and at least the incoming PM has acknowledged that and claims he’ll do something about changing it. Which as far as I understand involves changing the law and the way the electoral commission

It’s being predicted that the household budgets for mortgage holders will be squeezed further in 2024. Those on extremely low interest rates in 2019 are turning over to new rates now. A Reserve Bank report says the average household will spend about 18% of their income on interest payments alone by mid-next year. ANZ economist, Henry Russell, told Kate Hawkesby that it's not unexpected, and the Reserve Bank needs to see demand in the economy slow to get on top of inflation. He says there's still

It also shows the number of patients waiting more than four months to see a specialist has increased by 46% over the same period.

Well, three days on from our loss at the Rugby World Cup and we’re still not over it... clearly. It’s still front-page news, the dissertations and opinions continue, disputes over how it was reffed, anger over the TMO and officiating of the game continue. But let’s face the hard facts: the best team won on the day. Painful as it is, relitigating red cards versus yellow ones as we might, hating the TMO as we all do... it doesn’t change the facts.

It failed to ensure adequate risk assessments ahead of the 2019 tragedy that killed 22 people.

It's widely anticipated that New Zealand's unemployment figures will rise today. Stats NZ numbers for the three months to September will be released later this morning. Infometrics Principal Economist, Brad Olsen, told Kate Hawkesby that he predicts it will lift from 3.6 to 3.9%.
