Nearly one billion dollars is still owed as the deadline for Covid-era loans approaches. Inland Revenue says many Small Business Cashflow loans will default in June if not paid off. About 130,000 businesses were issued the loans, totalling $2.4 billion. ABC Business Sales Managing Director Chris Small told Mike Hosking he's not surprised so many owners haven't paid it back yet. He says there were no personal guarantees or general security agreements, so it was a free hit for business owners

The Act Party is hopeful its foray into local body elections will provide greater candidate transparency. Leader David Seymour is calling for expressions of interest of anyone keen to stand, saying it's time for a clean out of local councillors.

We've received another one of these “the Government went against official advice“ stories. This one was around bowel testing. The Government has recently announced that testing has dropped in age from 60 to 58-years-old. The money to pay for that extra testing has come from the separate Māoriand Pacific testing, which cuts in at 50-years-old. The official advice is that more lives could be saved if you tested more Māoriand Pacific Islanders. The new health minister said in response that what we need

I suppose technically it is only halfway through, with today still to go, but the Investment Summit looked good to me on day one. There seems no doubt that a lot of people with a lot of money turned up and some of them spoke of their desire to bid for projects. The Prime Minister, who needs some runs, I think has some and he hasn’t even left for India. His pitch that we are a shelter from the storm was smart. He looked like he had done this before. Perhaps we are seeing a little bit of what all the
