CEO Jon Ryder says dramatically rising energy costs are one of several issues plaguing the mill. E tū Union negotiation specialist Joe Gallagher says the Government needs to step in and set up some regulations. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Wellington Council is hoping to force the redevelopment of the the infamous Johnsonville Shopping Centre after years of inaction. It's been two decades since the mall was refurbished - and several high-profile retailers have abandoned the premises. Wellington Councillor Ben McNulty says there's plenty of options to force change along. "My view is - if they're not going to use it, they might as well lose it, and someone else who can actually do the work and has the expertise needs to come in." LISTEN

Kiwibank's Chief Economist says unemployment will rise for another year. Stats NZ figures out today show unemployment jumped to 4.6 percent in the June quarter, from 4.4 the quarter before, and 3.6 percent this time last year. Jarrod Kerr says this statistic tends to lag behind the rest of the economy, because employers keep workers as long as they can. "So we think the unemployment rate keeps lifting for the rest of this year and into next - and it'll end up around 5.2-5.3 percent." LISTEN ABOVESee

The crew finished significantly later than all the other boats - coming in dead last by 45.31 seconds in the quarterfinal stage. Canoe Racing NZ chair Greg Adlam says the team did what they could in a difficult boat. "It's one thing for kayakers to get into a canoe boat and to paddle it, it's another one to actually lay down power on the course. That's the phase we're at now." LISTEN

Winstone's says ballooning energy bills could force the Ohakune pulp and timber mills to shut. Jones is urging the energy companies to offer these industrial players a deal to keep them going. "My problem is - if they don't start to engage and actually look after New Zealand firms and New Zealand employers, then I fear for the industrialisation." LISTEN ABOVESee
