Sticking points in National's tax plan seem be causing friction in Government negotiations. New Zealand First's Shane Jones told media today his party's working out some 'jagged edges'. NewstalkZB understands they involve how National will pay for tax cuts. ZB political editor Jason Walls says two issues are lifting the foreign buyers ban and dipping into the Climate Emergency Response Fund. He says New Zealand First aren't happy for that money to be used on tax cuts- and would rather it go into

Luxon has begun another week of discussions with coalition partners ACT and NZ First, and it's looking less likely he'll attend APEC on Wednesday. The Finance Minister-elect says she's not going to go into detail about who's talking to who, but coalition discussions are progressing.

The Coromandel's State Highway 25A's fix has come in ahead of time and under cost. The road between between Kōpū and Hikuai was cut in two by Cyclone Gabrielle in January, with numerous major slips blocking travel. It'll reopen by December 20, a full three months earlier than anticipated. Waka Kotahi's Jo Wilton says the team worked hard and planned ahead- but there were special circumstances behind this faster-than-expected repair.

ANZ's CEO is defending its cash net profit, at a time where households struggle with the cost of living. The country's largest bank has reported a 10 percent increase in its cash net profit in the year ending September. Antonia Watson says their profit of over $2 billion is a lot of money in a New Zealand sense. "The thing is, we're just really big- and I think that's the hard thing for Kiwis to get their heads around. Our profits are middle-of-the-road." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for

It's starting to get a bit awkward with how long these coalition negotiations are taking, especially now that Chris Luxon’s warned us we might not get a deal until the end of this week.

Former Green Party MP Gareth Hughes went back through all of the elections and counted how long it took from each election date to the end of the coalition talks. 1996 was of course the longest- and most famous for it
