NZ First leader Winston Peters has touched down in Wellington, ahead of negotiation talks with National and ACT. There were cheers from onlookers outside the airport as he arrived- but Peters stayed quiet, despite being peppered with questions by journalists. ZB political editor Jason Walls says it's unlikely Winston Peters will directly address media as coalition discussions get started- and journalists will have to get creative in sourcing explanations.

US correspondent Dan Mitchinson says Biden and his staff will likely be working on a plan that allows humanitarian aid to get into Gaza. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy

The election result looks to have lit a fire under the property market. Real estate agents in Wellington say business has picked up since the 'blue wave' crashed through. National and ACT have both promised to phase in interest deductibility for landlords and make it easier for banks to lend money. City Sales sales manager Scott Dunn says people saw a change of Government coming. He says Auckland's market picked up about three weeks ago.

The All Blacks managed to score a win against Ireland and advance to the World Cup semi-finals, but the victory wasn't without controversy. The Irish Times reported that midfielder Rieko Ioane performed a 'classless' gesture in the direction of Ireland's supporters in a taunting fashion.

There's signs inflation in New Zealand may have passed its peak. New figures show inflation rose 5.6 percent in the year to September, down from six percent in the year to June. It's better than expected by banks and economists. HSBC chief economist Paul Bloxham says these figures are encouraging- but inflation is still running very high, so caution should be applied.

New Zealand's farming community are feeling hopeful about the new changes in Government. While the nation's 54th Parliament won't be finalised until November, several prospective MPs from National and ACT have backgrounds in the primary sector.

He's confirmed there was no leadership challenge, but the team will hold a vote within three months of the election.

Australia's Government is back to the drawing board after the failed Voice Referendum. All but one state voted No to changing the constitution to allow an Indigenous Voice to Parliament, with a nationwide support of around 40 percent. Australia's former ambassador to the United States, John McCarthy, has claimed this rejection will be viewed negatively by the wider Asia-Pacific region.

Christchurch City Council is warning cutbacks and hard decisions will have to be made to avoid significant increases to rates. Mayor Phil Mauger says the council's 'up a creek' financially, and cuts to libraries and swimming pools are on the cards in order to avoid an 18 percent rate rise. Christchurch City Councillor Jake McLellan says the situation is a challenging one. "We're obviously subject to the same pressures that every organisation is, but I certainly don't want to see libraries or

Mount Albert's Greens candidate says the narrow margin in the seat shows elections are no longer two-horse races. Labour's Helen White has won on early numbers by just over 100 votes. It's traditionally a Labour stronghold, previously held by Jacinda Ardern, David Shearer, Helen Clark - and Michael Savage. White's blaming her slim-win on the Greens splitting the vote. Ricardo Menendez-March says his Party's proud of its record result. "No one, not the Greens, not National or Labour, can take any

Belief New Zealand's winning the war on inflation. Figures out today show annual inflation rose 5.6 percent in the year to September, down from 6 percent in the year to June. Kiwibank Senior Economist, Jarrod Kerr, says it's great some pressures are finally easing. "There's some frustrations in there, with petrol and a few other bits and pieces, but when we look at the broad basket of goods and services that we consume- prices are coming off."

Former Labour Leader Andrew Little says he's thinking of the Party and its future as he quits politics. He says it's important those who'll form the next Labour Government get the chance to be nurtured and developed. Little says he doesn't believe people should hang on too long. "I feel very privileged to have been in the roles that I've been in and to have done what I've done, but I'm also at an age where I could do some other things outside of Parliament- and I'm very keen to explore that."

They made the call today in a nearly two-hour caucus meeting. It was supposed to wrap up at 2pm this afternoon, but it ran all the way until quarter past 3. Clearly there was more to discuss than they thought. It could be that they were debating what to do with the leadership, could be that some people were cross
