Inflation is continuing to fall. Latest Stats NZ figures show the Consumer Price Index rose 3.3% in the year to June. Today's rate is down from 4% in the year to March this year, and well down from 7.3% annually to June 2022. Economists had forecast inflation would land on 3.3-3.5%. NZ Herlad Business Editor Liam Dann told Kerre Woodham that there is finally starting to be some light at the end of the tunnel. He said that it’s hard to know when the first interest rate cut will be as some of it

The other big news story from last night was the result of the arbitration between the New Zealand Police and the Police Association. This is what happens when you go to arbitration, there's a winner and there's a loser. And in this case, the Police Association has lost in final offer arbitration, with the government's proposal to increase police pay being chosen. When you go to arbitration, you put your offer in as the Police Association and it can't be too ridiculous because if it's too

Cancellation rates at Air New Zealand are falling but the airline’s chief executive Greg Foran acknowledges delays for passengers are frustrating and have to be reduced. Speaking on Kerre Woodham’s Newstalk ZB show, Foran also said he could understand the frustration at being bused to destinations when flights are cancelled, but the airline was meeting its obligations if it did get passengers to where they needed to get to within a reasonable time. In response to a question about charging fees on

Goodness gracious me, what a weekend, wasn't it? If he wasn't a shoe-in after Joe Biden's bumbling mis-speaking performance that we were incredulous about on Friday, you can bet the presidency is the Donald’s for the losing now, after the failed assassination attempt at a Trump rally in Pennsylvania over the weekend. Yet to be officially confirmed that it was an actual assassination attempt, but when it looks like one, sounds like one, feels like one, you can probably assume it was one. Absolutely

2024/07/12

I know the road cones might seem trivial, but to me, I've always thought they were a metaphor for excessive spending and over-rigorous regulation. When you looked at road cones, it wasn't a little cherry orange witches hat you saw, it was costs being inflated and people being overly cautious, the wasting of time and money, which was happening across so many government departments. When National referred to road cones during the election campaign, as they did from time to time, I thought they too

Well, did we get some good news with the Reserve Bank's report yesterday? Not as full as their OCR statement that we're expecting in August, but an update nonetheless. Is the long winter of our financial discontent about to be made glorious summer? Will the Reserve Bank ease its restrictive monetary policy this year so that we don't all have to survive to 25, we can thrive in 25, giving those who are paying mortgages and business loans some respite? Certainly, indications are that the engineered

The Reserve Bank has softened its language in the July Monetary Policy Review, leaving the cash rate unchanged at 5.5% It's now saying inflation will make the 1-3% target this year. Kiwibank economists say it's a move that has increased market confidence in a rate cut later this year. Chief Economist Jarrod Kerr told Kerre Woodham that we’ve been in a recession for a year and a half, and it’ll take some rate cuts to jolt us out of it. He said that they are optimistic and have been telling

2024/07/10

I am absolutely gobsmacked at the sheer gall of Labour even considering, suggesting, putting it out there, hey, run it up the flagpole, some form of capital gains tax might be back on the agenda. Apparently Barbara Edmonds, who is the finance spokesperson for Labour, is just putting it out there, seeing what people think. How very dare they for two glaringly obvious reasons. A) because they had every opportunity to introduce a capital gains tax or to revamp the taxation system not just once, but

When Labour holds its next party conference at the end of the year, tax policy is likely to be near the top of its agenda. Finance spokesperson Barbara Edmonds sent a strong signal in March that a comprehensive capital gains tax may be back on its table, questioning the fairness of the current tax system. The Labour Party's understood to be considering whether to advocate for an inheritance tax, taking inspiration from an Irish model. In Ireland, a 33% tax is applied to inheritance's worth more

The boss said to me this morning when he arrived, “Good of you to show you support for the Greens.” It's like what? He gestured to my dress. I am in a dress that is utterly, unashamedly green. All green. My Christmas dress can also come out in winter. It is not the reason I chose the dress, but I can't help feeling the teensiest bit of sympathy for the Greens. They have had a shocking run.

Deputy Prime Minister Winston Peters doesn't feel the Greens are doing all they can in regard to Darleen Tana. The Green Party's asked Tana to resign from parliament after receiving the investigation into alleged migrant exploitation at her husband's business. Tana doesn't accept the findings, claiming it substantially misrepresents her level of involvement in the business. She's resigned from the party, but not yet Parliament. Peters says they could expel Tana, utilising the waka-jumping

I may not have been flying to Brazil, but it took me almost as long to get from the North Shore to Auckland city on Friday night. There was a serious crash just before the Harbour Bridge and as fate would have it, I was due to meet friends to go to the Chelsea Handler show. Had I known what Chelsea Handler was going to be like, I wouldn't have made the effort. I'm sure she was all very risky and shocking and wowseballs when she first came on the scene, but it was all a bit dull really. But never

2024/07/05

Two billion dollars was poured into mental health by the previous administration, and it just proves that chucking money at a problem doesn't solve it. The Mental Health Foundation at the time was sceptical that the huge boost in funding would be spent in the right areas. Education about maintaining and boosting mental health and well-being, they said, should be just as important as the services needed when people are in crisis. But the government was more about funding the ambulance at the bottom

Chris Bishop will use a speech to the Real Estate Institute of New Zealand later this morning, to announce a slew of changes to New Zealand's planning laws. He wants to flood the market with affordable land to develop and to make it easier and cheaper to develop that land into housing as he told Mike Hosking this morning. CB: We're going to let

This was a bill initially proposed by Labour and rejected by National. Now, however, the coalition government, minus one of its partners, is progressing with amendments to support our local media companies to earn revenue for the news they produce and in effect, throw them a lifeline, help them survive.

Wairoa's getting another funding boost of half-a-million-dollars for recovery from last week's major flooding. More than 100 properties were badly damaged in a district still recovering from last year's Cyclone Gabrielle. It brings Mayoral Relief Funding allocated so far to $600 thousand. Emergency Management Minister Mark Mitchell says it'll go into pressing and immediate needs in the community. He says it'll ensure ongoing support for clean-up costs such as drying houses and removing damaged

Regional fuel and diesel taxes gone, saving the drivers of Toyota Corollas - those fairies of the land, the wakas of the whenua – about $6 every time they fill up, but you will need that $6 because that's going to go somewhere else.

More people are turning away from drinking alcohol than ever, according to new data. Premium Kiwi winemaker, Giesen, has invested over a million dollars into removing alcohol from their wine, to keep up with demand. Chief winemaker Duncan Shouler says consumers have always wanted an alternative, but the quality and product choice wasn't there previously.
