Are you convinced by Razor yet? Cause I feel you should be, because what Razor has managed to do on this northern tour has been pretty impressive. If the All Blacks beat Italy this weekend - which apparently they will because it’s supposed to be a foregone conclusion - then we can say the All Blacks have come within one point of a clean sweep of the northern tour. Which is remarkable, because we haven't done a clean sweep of the northern tour since 2017. Now obviously, we haven’t done it this time

Good luck to TVNZ. Good luck to TVNZ trying to convince anyone that they are unbiased, given what's just happened with them in the last week. I just played you the clip of the Breakfast reporter singing with the organiser of the Hikoi - which I think any right-minded person would interpret as an endorsement of the Hikoi. I think this should earn her some serious trouble if TVNZ takes perceptions of bias seriously. What is much more serious for them is that the woman who was tipped to become the

Offences include sex acts with inmates and other inappropriate behaviour and selling drugs and phones. UK correspondent Gail Downey tells Heather du Plessis-Allan the problem is being put down to young, inexperienced staff with poor vetting and inadequate training.

Trump has nominated Marco Rubio to be Secretary of State. Rubio, an Iran and China hawk who serves on the Senate foreign relations committee, would become one of the most prominent members of Trump’s foreign policy team if confirmed by the Senate next year. He would be the first sitting secretary of state to have been sanctioned by Beijing, meaning he cannot visit China. Rubio sponsored a bill trying to prevent the import of goods made by China’s ethnic Uyghur minority, which Biden later signed

The Commerce Commission are taking action against One NZ over their ‘100% mobile coverage’ plan and Starlink rollout. The watchdog believes the advertising campaign breached the Fair Trading Act, saying customers were under the impression that coverage would include data and voice calling – not a text only service. Tech commentator and Gorilla Tech CEO, Paul Spain tells Heather du Plessis-Allan the case seems over the top, given the CommComm hasn’t chased other companies whose products have not met

Monthly food prices fell 0.9 percent in October compared with September, according to figures released by Stats NZ today. The largest contributor to the fall was vegetables, down 7.2 percent. But a rise in fruit prices, up 0.6 percent, partly offsets that. NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann explains what this means for the state of the economy - and inflation.
