Rising business costs and cash-strapped consumers have forced a number of Kiwi hospitality businesses to close their doors. Auckland's SPQR recently closed its doors for good, following liquidators being appointed to the establishment. Restaurant Association CEO Marisa Bidois says the last three years have been particularly challenging for the hospitality industry. "To be frank, we're still in a recovery position. You saw the impacts that Covid had on hospitality, and then shortly after that, many

Ever had one of those weeks when things just go from bad to worse? We all have, right – so we can appreciate how bad things got for KiwiRail this week. It was like watching an episode of Utopia or The Office as more details about the Aratere ferry grounding came to light. Then, to top it off, the Transport Minister refused to confirm or deny whether an advisory group has suggested KiwiRail no longer run the Cook Strait ferries. The Maritime Union says it looks that way. A couple of weeks ago, we

Knife River by Justine Champine: When Jess was 13 years old her mother disappeared, which is something she and her sister Liz struggled with for years. Now living in NYC, Jess receives a phone call one day to say that her mother’s remains have been found, which takes her back to the small town of Knife River where she grew up. She moves back into her childhood home where her sister has been living as if frozen in time, and now the two of them wait for the authorities to determine what happened, but

Free airport wi-fi could cost travellers in other ways, as some unlucky users found out the hard way. An Australian man has been arrested for setting up fake public networks to harvest people's data and steal sensitive information. BloggerAtLarge writer Megan Singleton says people need to be cautious and not sign in via social media - and only check bank information on personal networks.

Dry July is here again, with Kiwis going alcohol-free for the month to examine their drinking habits. Binge-drinking is a lingering part of Kiwi culture, and more and more people have felt inspired to step back to consider the health risks. Naturopath and wellness expert Erin O'Hara says binge-drinking comes with short-term complications - and long-term risks of brain and liver damage.

'They don’t make music like they used to'- you might say as you listen to the latest hits on the radio. Well, new research published in the journal Scientific Reports might prove you right. In the study, researchers analysed 1,131 melodies from 360 singles that reached the top 5 US Billboard charts each year between 1950 and 2022. They chose to study melodies because when asked to sing a popular song, most people would sing the melody rather than its bassline or drum pattern. They found that the

Many experts believe fusion energy is the future of limitless clean energy - and one Wellington-based team aims to help New Zealand access this. OpenStar Technologies is working on a 'levitated dipole' fusion reactor prototype, designed to recreate the process where hydrogen atoms 'fuse' to make helium and release energy. Founder Dr Ratu Mataira was drawn to the possibilities that come with fusion energy. "Fusion has the advantage of being incredibly useful, and the challenge of our time is climate

He's written articles about some of the nation's most infamous murder cases - and he's turned some of his findings into a book, The Survivors: True stories of death and desperation.

As the hospitality sector struggles and consumers feel the pinch from rising living costs, one entrepreneur has devised a solution. Food waste is still a lingering issue, so Foodprint founder Michal Garvey launched Mystery Bags to help business and consumers get through a gloomy winter period.

The ABs were kept try-less in the second spell but two Damian McKenzie penalties edged them home.

A change to the UK Government doesn't look to change much for New Zealand. It was a big win for Labour in the UK's general election, with Sir Keir Starmer now taking the helm as Prime Minister. It marks the end of the Conservative's 14 years in power. NZ Herald deputy political editor Thomas Coughlan says New Zealand's close relationship with the UK will likely remain.

Experts fear that the Government's plan to 'flood' the housing market comes with too many risks. Housing Minister Chris Bishop has promised to fill urban areas with development land and remove council powers to mandate boundaries and standards. UOA senior lecturer of Architecture and Planning, Dr Elizabeth Aitken Rose, says freeing up land won't fix the issues in the housing market.

So, what did you think of the new Three News bulletin at 6pm last night? I worked in TV for over a decade and the one thing I know is you never judge a live show on its first outing. Sometimes not even on its second. I felt a bit sick with nerves for the Stuff team at 5:58 last night. We were forewarned by Warner Bros Discovery this week that the bulletin is not yet everything they want it to be – that it will take time to grow. By saying that out loud they managed expectations for themselves, the
