Fireworks have also caused headaches, with crews estimating the volume of call outs this New Year's Eve to be higher compared to previous years.

A call for a cautious approach as the country waits for the decision of whether it will require a negative Covid test from travellers arriving from China. An announcement is expected today, with other western countries such as Australia set to bring in the measures on Thursday.

An information vacuum out of China is forcing countries to put COVID restrictions in place. The Asian country is grappling with a surge in Covid cases and outbreaks, at a time where it's abandoning its Covid-zero policy, and allowing people to fly in and out. Some countries, such as the US, Japan, and India, have taken action by introducing negative test requirements for all Chinese air travellers. Otago University Epidemiologist Michael Baker says that China has stopped reporting cases, deaths and

The National Party leader is talking up his front bench heading into this election year. Polls are leaning towards National, with a recent Taxpayers Union Curia poll finding the party slightly favoured as economic managers over Labour. Chris Luxon says the current Government has been too reliant on working groups and, if elected, his ministers would have real world expertise in their portfolios. Luxon says his health spokesperson in particular has a background in the field. LISTEN ABOVESee

Big changes in the property market. The average value has fallen below the million dollar mark for the first time since August 2021. One Roof Editor Owen Vaughan told Tim Dower that there's been a complete turnaround with price declines of up to 20 percent in the last 12 months. He says the biggest driver of the earlier prices rises was low interest rates and the drop is the result of the steady rise in rates.
