Westpac's CEO has identified a range of reasons for its fall in profits. The bank had a $963 million net profit for the year to September, down seven percent from 2022. Catherine McGrath says Westpac has been investing heavily in key parts of the business to improve the customer experience. "We've been investing in the foundation of the bank, so we've been introducing new tools.

The Finance Minister-in-waiting is letting nothing slip on coalition negotiations. National is in talks with ACT and New Zealand First, after special votes revealed all three are needed to form a Government. A former New Zealand First MP, Andrew Williams, told Mike Hosking this morning leader Winston Peters would want to be Treasurer. But Nicola Willis wouldn't be drawn on it. "One of the things that's been really great about this process, and I think you've seen it from David Seymour, from Chris

Concerned Christchurch residents have been monitoring a woman with a reported history of harming local cats. A 400-strong Facebook community dubbed this woman the 'harmful cat feeder' and claim she's feeding their pets questionable food and making them sick- or worse. One resident, Kate Russell, says this woman has been creating problems for years, but her behaviour has intensified over the last 18 months. "She has been told again and again, to the extent that people have put signs up on their

The London-based Kiwi designer is set to craft new looks for the airline's 5,000-strong cabin and ground crew. They will be revealed late next year for a wearer trial, before taking to the skies in 2025.

Chris Luxon has shot down ACT's wish for a Treaty referendum, but there's suggestions there could be a consolation prize. The Prime Minister-elect says it would be divisive and unhelpful. He's in negotiations with ACT and New Zealand First, who need to combine to govern. Former National Treaty Negotiations Minister Chris Finlayson says there is a case for looking at the Treaty of Waitangi Act. "The tribunal's coming up to 50 years old- so what's the role of the tribunal in the future once it's dealt

A report has suggested the average Auckland house deposit could reach $1 million by 2045. The report was shared exclusively with One News. Enable.Me financial adviser Katie Wesney says it's not an inconceivable amount. "A million dollar deposit in 22 years, that's a 6.5 percent rate. And in all reality in the last 10 years, Auckland house prices have risen by 7.8 percent." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Labour MPs are not expected to oppose Chris Hipkins staying as party leader when they meet tomorrow. It'll be the first catch up since Friday's full election result revealed who will stay and go. They'll discuss the campaign and the political road map for the next three years- and they'll also vote on Labour's leadership.

High-profile scientist Siouxsie Wiles left a courtroom in tears after recounting a threat made against her on Christmas Eve. She's taking legal action against her employer, the University of Auckland, saying it didn't seriously respond to those threats until more than two years after Wiles first complained.

Once again, thanks to MMP, we're back in a state of suspension and waiting for the conclusion of coalition talks. Which for all the parties' claims- are barely progressing. And I think it's important for our collective sanity that we concentrate on what we know, rather than all the ifs, buts, maybes and reckons which we might imagine to be the case. What is it that we actually know? We know that National and ACT and NZ First are willing to form a coalition, and that's pretty much it so far. The big

Labour's Rachel Boyack says she's delighted with the final count result for her Nelson seat, but acknowledges it’s a small margin. On the official count, she leapfrogged National's Blair Cameron to win the seat by 29 votes. Boyack told Andrew Dickens she's received notification from her National opponent he'll seek a recount for the Nelson seat. “My expectation is that’ll happen reasonably quickly, and I’m still very hopeful I will retain the seat.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for

The Beatles have released what they say is their very last song ever that’s been 45 years in the making. ‘Now and Then’ is a cassette track that John Lennon gave to Sir Paul McCartney, and then Sir Peter Jackson used technology to recreate Lennon’s voice with AI and added music from the surviving Beatles Sir Paul and Sir Ringo Starr. It’s certainly made people think about The Beatles again, and their place in our culture. Ultra Beatles fan Joanna Jones joined Andrew Dickens. LISTEN ABOVESee
