Many people dream of becoming social media influencers - but the reality is a lot less glamorous. According to new data from the IRD, only 60 people in New Zealand are working full-time as influencers, with the average annual income being $46,000. Thompson Spencer co-founder and CEO Melanie Spencer is surprised by these statistics. "We have influencers earning well over $10,000 per piece of content... we've got an influencer that's earned $30,000-$40,000 this year and we're only halfway through."

Is anyone else getting the feeling the Greens have underestimated just how far Darleen Tana will go to to mess with them? I feel like they might have bit off a bit much with this one. Because so far - it’s 2-nil to Darleen.She won the first round when she refused to quit Parliament. The Greens clearly thought that after they’d finished the report she’d just slink off in shame - but she refused to do that.And she’s just won the second round today by forcing the party to cancel that meeting they were
