There's suggestions private companies should build - and potentially run - our public hospitals. 1News reports Health NZ is urging the Government to consider private sector help, given the investment required for dozens of hospitals. Former Health NZ chair Rob Campbell says he believes this is being raised now as a diversion. "It's previously been held off because the very large projects - like the Dunedin Hospital - frankly, wouldn't attract a partner to do the kind of work that needs to be done."

NZIER deputy chief executive Christina Leung says demand was quite weak over the September quarter, but expectations have gone up for the subsequent months. "Expectations for the

If you were in a bit of a rush yesterday morning, I dunno - perhaps somehow you were caught out by daylight saving and you scrambling to get to an appointment - and you forgot to put money in the meter before rushing off, you'd have been fined $40. If you did it today, exactly the same offence, you'd be fined $70. Almost double. Parking fines are up for the first time in twenty years and errant parkers will be facing stricter penalties across the board. I don't have an issue with the higher fines

Fuelled by fitness and gym content online, more young men say they are turning to risky and illegal measures to enhance their appearances. According to new reports, men in their 20s - or younger - have been encouraged to use steroids and other banned performance-enhancing substances in order to keep up with pressure to look a certain way.

Foodstuffs has argued a merger blocked by the Commerce Commission would benefit consumers and suppliers. The competition watchdog has decided merging the chain's North and South Island co-ops would substantially lessen competition. Foodstuffs North Island CEO Chris Quin says they're likely to appeal the decision -based on the evidence they have at this point. He says the move would only have changed the support each retailer received. "Which is out of sight of customers and a part of retail

A popular - and divisive - shoe is making a significant showing in more ACC claims. ACC has received 128 claims for fall-related injuries from Croc wearers so far this year, costing nearly $64,000. There were 109 claims last year. But injury prevention spokesperson, James Whittaker, says although Crocs and jandals feature in some trips, slips and falls - the problem is much bigger than that. "Around 700,000 people have fall-related claims supported by ACC in any given year - and it costs around $2

Lebanon says Israeli attacks in the past two weeks have already killed more than a thousand people. Otago University international relations professor Robert Patman says the recent pummelling of Hezbollah has severely degraded the militant group.

The Prime Minister seems to have narrowly avoided a large tax bill for selling his Wellington apartment. He paid $795,000 for it in 2020, and 1News reports it's been sold for $975,000. When it was purchased, a five-year bright-line test applied - under which Luxon would have owed $70,000 in tax.
