"The ones that we have seen damage the property will be charged for that - and there will be more to come, but that's really

Wellington mayor Tory Whanau says she'll stick to her priorities - even as central Government intervenes. Local Government Minister Simeon Brown has appointed a Crown Observer to help council develop its Long Term Plan. Spending cuts are needed since the council's U-turn on selling its airport shares. ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper says Tory has taken this well - but this intervention will come at a cost to Wellington ratepayers. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

The Greens are looking forward to moving ahead - as Darleen Tana's days in Parliament come to an end. The party today confirmed Speaker Gerry Brownlee has officially ousted Tana after delegates unanimously voted to put the issue to him. Co-leader Chlöe Swarbrick says she is grateful to draw a line under this. "It's been a several months-long process that has obviously ensued the likes of legal battles and otherwise - which I don't think has been a nice situation for anybody that's been involved."

The US election is heating up and it's still unclear whether or not Harris or Trump will emerge victorious in November. Based on recent polling data, financial markets are pricing in a Trump-led Government - a pivot from the projected Harris Government. Harbour Asset Management's Shane Solly says investors are increasingly expecting a divided Government, as it's unlikely one party will control the Presidency, House and Senate.

What started as a small business operating out of an Auckland flat has grown into a multi-million dollar business - and co-owners Jacob and Georgia Faull are looking to re-launch the brand overseas.

Andrew Bayly's apologised, after a worker claimed he'd told him to - 'Go home, take some wine, and F off' and later made the 'L' sign on his forehead. The Prime Minister says he received the complainant's letter on Thursday, but isn't necessarily surprised he didn't hear about it before.

Finance Minister Nicola Willis has voiced pride for Team New Zealand following their latest America's Cup victory - but she's unsure if the nation can justify hosting the event. Team boss Grant Dalton says New Zealand's absolutely in the running to host the next Cup. However, Nicola Willis says there's a number of factors that go into picking an America's Cup location - and New Zealand needs to be 'hard-headed' about its options.

The Local Government Minister has little to say about Wellington City Council's fate. The Government has signalled it's willing to intervene, after labelling the Council's Long Term Plan backtrack a 'shambles'. Simeon Brown last week asked the Department of Internal Affairs for advice on potential intervention. Brown says he's now reviewing it and is considering it.

The Black Caps have broken a 36-year drought and secured an eight-wicket victory over India in Bengaluru. Their performance has been regarded as one of New Zealand's best wins in almost 95 years of test cricket. Black Caps coach Gary Stead says a lucky toss, a strong lead and a solid performance from the guys helped them achieve this historic victory. "I thought the guys played really well throughout - and it's always nice to put India under pressure, cause they're a really tough team to beat."

The Sports Minister says he's up for conversations on hosting the next America's Cup. Team New Zealand has won a record-setting third Cup in a row. Team boss Grant Dalton says they've accepted a challenge from Britain's Ineos Britannia team and hosting in New Zealand is on the table. Auckland last hosted the Cup in 2021, during Covid.

The Nurses Society is labelling Health NZ's $60,000 catering costs - a 'bad look' for the agency. The agency paid for breakfast and lunch for 300 senior executives at a conference in March. Two days earlier, Health NZ told its Minister it would be imposing extra financial controls to rein in blown-out costs. The Society's National Director, David Wills, says the amount spent on food seems off, on top of venue costs - given the agency's current finances. "$109,000 on that venue and the conference -

As predictably as the clock striking 12 twice a day, here we are after an America's Cup win talking - yet again - about whether the Cup should be held in New Zealand. In one corner, there's Helen Clark - who says Kiwis want to witness a successful event at home. And in the other corner, there's David Seymour who says we're too broke. Look, I think I'm probably like most people - it'd be nice if it was here, but I just don't want us to waste money on it. This has, above all, got to be treated as a
