Inflation may be coming down- but three big influences have accelerated living costs for Kiwi households.

Auckland Council has voted down introducing Māori seats for the 2025 local body elections, after a tense debate today. Councillors voted 11 to 9 against the decision. Auckland Councillor Alf Filipaina has expressed disappointment with this rejection. "This was about establishing Māori wards for 2025. The argument was a non-argument, because that work is getting done anyway- and it doesn't need to get completed until later on." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Growing calls for Winston Peters to apologise for his incorrect claims about the March 15 terror attacks. Peters said New Zealand only recently found out that the Prime Minister's office received information about the attack before it happened. But then-Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern revealed at the time her office had received the killer's manifesto.

Workplace sexual harassment is just as detrimental for employers, as it is for employees. A new study has found about a third of the New Zealand workforce have experienced it, with around 36 percent of females and 30 percent of males targeted. It shows employees may be more likely to suffer burnout, stress, or act counterproductively at work and call in sick. Massey University Professor Jarrod Haar says they're also more likely to quit, which is just as bad for employers. "They take the knowledge

The Chairman of Federation of Islamic Associations says the Coronial inquest into March 15 is not the time for political posturing. Winston Peters is refusing to apologise for falsely tweeting that Kiwis only just found out about the terrorist's pre-attack email to the Beehive. It was revealed at a press conference the next day.

"Jacinda Ardern should be called to the hearing and asked to explain this appalling lack of transparency to the New Zealand public, let alone to the deputy Prime Minister and Government coalition partner."
