Having watched Raygun the Aussie breakdancer’s first big interview, which aired on The Project in Australia last night - I think it's pretty clear that you should not waste your emotions feeling sorry for her because she is making the most out of this. The natural inclination, obviously, is to feel sorry for her, because she completely embarrassed herself jumping around like a kangaroo on the Olympic stage and she's since been the subject of a global pile-on, countless jokes at her expense and even

The final report on the Grenfell disaster is set to be published - six years after the inquiry began hearing evidence about what caused the incident. The fire caused the deaths of 72 people in a London tower block fire in 2017. UK correspondent Gavin Grey says the report will examine how the tower block came to be in a condition that allowed the fire to spread.

A new survey by ASB indicates Kiwis aren't expecting house prices to pick up again anytime soon. According to ASB's Housing Confidence survey, a net 13 percent of respondents believe house prices will go up - down more than 30 percent compared with last quarter. A net 20 percent of respondents now expect lower interest rates and only a net 8 percent think now is a good time to buy. ASB chief economist Nick Tuffley says falling interest rates haven't inspired confidence in sellers. LISTEN ABOVESee

Savers have rushed to lock in high interest rates ahead of the Reserve Bank cutting the OCR for the first time in more than four years. New RBNZ data shows households put an extra $2.1 billion in term deposits in July - which saw the amount of money held in term deposits rise to a record $136 billion.

The Commerce Minister says a third big player in our supermarket sector is unlikely to come from overseas. A first annual Commerce Commission report on the grocery market has found no meaningful improvement in competition. It wants New Zealand's two major operators - Foodstuffs and Woolworths - pressured more and for it to be made it easier for a third to enter. Minister Andrew Bayly says overseas giants like Aldi aren't interested in moving over to New Zealand. "I've been talking to one or two

Do we appreciate trigger warnings in our media - or have they gone too far and ruined things? The Commerce Commission's first Annual Grocery Report found retail margins are increasing and profitability is still high for the big supermarket chains. Can we find a solution to this?

'Trigger warnings' on sensitive content have been thrust into the spotlight after Hollywood actor Matt Smith criticised their use. The House of the Dragon star claimed giving viewers 'trigger warnings' has left TV shows 'dumbed-down'. Clinical psychologist Dougal Sutherland says these warnings aren't particularly useful - and can create problems in their own right. "What they do do is they increase people's anxiety in advance of something coming up, and that people don't end up avoiding looking up

Early childhood education providers are hopeful ending pay parity for relievers will allow more permanent roles. From October, only permanent part-time or full-time certified teachers will be paid according to the pay parity policy. The Early Childhood Council says 74 percent of its members support the exclusion. Chief executive Simon Laube approves of removing this educational 'red tape'.

There's new insights into New Zealand's ancient fauna from a 20-year dig. An international team of palaeontologists researching the St Bathans fossil site in Central Otago have concluded kakapo, small wrens, bats and freshwater limpets arrived well before other well known species - like kiwi and moa. Canterbury Museum Senior Natural History Curator Paul Scofield says they also uncovered signs of other surprising animals living here.

There's a very big call on the supermarkets today - the Grocery Commissioner has accused them of ripping us off. Now, a lot of people will probably agree with that and think - what of it? But there's a difference between you or I feeling ripped off when you’re standing in front of the olive oil looking at a price of $30 and someone like the Grocery Commissioner saying it out loud on the radio. It's a very big call - and for someone like him to do that, he's got to have the proof. And he reckons he

The Grocery Commissioner says the returns our big supermarkets get on assets is about double what overseas equivalents make. The Commerce Commission's first annual report into the grocery market shows competition hasn't meaningfully improved. It flags increasing margins and high profitability. Pierre van Heerden says overseas grocers make less because they have more competition. "The return on assets is about 11 percent vs 5.5-6 percent overseas."

Finders keepers may not apply, as a young Christchurch couple fight to keep $230,000 they found in their roof. Open Justice reported that an electrician found five sealed plastic bags of cash, which the couple reported to authorities. Police took out a civil court case under the Criminal Proceeds Recovery Act, believing the cash is the product of crime - from previous gang links to the property.

The UK Government is committed to cracking down on mobile phone thefts, after a significant spike in incidents. New data shows at least 80,000 people have had their phones snatched out of their hands - with only one percent of these cases resulting in arrest. UK correspondent Enda Brady says the police can't arrest their way out of this epidemic, so manufacturers have been enlisted to build on anti-theft technology.
