Mark Wilkshire: Co-operative Bank CEO on OCR cut

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive ·

2024/10/09

A bold move from the Reserve Bank as it has decided to cut the Official Cash Rate (OCR) by 50-basis points, from 5.25% to 4.75%. It's the second cut in a row, after the OCR was lowered in August - which was the first drop since May 2023. All of the larger banks predicted the rise, but a 25-point drop was thought to be just as likely. Co-operative Bank Chief Executive Mark Wilshire joins Jack Tame to discuss how this will impact homeowners. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

2024/10/09

Two former members of a committee tasked with checking over assisted deaths to ensure the law worked as it should say the system is so broken they wouldn't have known if someone had wrongly died. Doctors Jane Greville and Dana Wensley repeatedly raised concerns about incomplete information about a patient's health and the risk of coercion. In one case, a patient with suspected dementia who could not speak English was approved for assisted dying without a translator in the room. ACT Leader David

I fix my entire mortgage in three weeks' time, and find myself with the curious kind of conundrum that most of us with bog-standard family home mortgages couldn't have imagined at any point the last few years. I waited for the email to land from the Monetary Policy Committee... Speed-read the Reserve Bank's statement and found myself with a simple question: Instead of fixing my mortgage at the end of this month, am I better to roll the dice, float for four weeks and hold out for another cut in

Jack Tame: Bring on 50 basis points

2024/10/08

I went for a walk along K Road the other night and saw something I hadn't seen in the longest time: A new restaurant. I didn't even step inside but it felt like a drink of cold water for a parched man in the desert. When was the last time I saw one of those? It is, of course, a rarity. And hardly a sign that the entire economy is ready to take off. The number of new restaurants in that part of town is still comfortably outnumbered by the number of 'For Lease' signs. But as the Reserve Bank prepares

Less than half of all dogs impounded in Auckland last year made it out alive, with an average of 11 euthanised each day.

It marks the first time in a decade that more dogs were euthanised than rehomed and returned to their owners, and the council is pleading to potential owners to properly consider if they can commit to caring for a dog.

Newsflash: Tui 'Yeah Right' billboard accused of being bad taste. Whoa, for a moment there I thought I'd been transported back to 2006. Is it in good taste? No. Of Course not. It's a billboard for a beer company, for goodness' sake. Of course it's in bad taste. I don't think anyone has ever accused Tui of good taste. Given the extent to which the sensational details in the Polkinghorne case have scandalised the nation, it's hardly a surprise to see the billboards pop up. I'll be honest with you: It
