Paul Mescal and Pedro Pascal battle it out in Gladiator II. That’s because Gladiator II doesn’t have a particularly good story to get in the way of. This will sound very familiar to those who have seen its predecessor, the Russell Crowe-starring, Oscar-winning 2000 movie Gladiator. This is mostly out of necessity, because the story bits of Gladiator II tend to linger and drag. Gladiator II is in cinemas now.

But that has meant more than 4000 students have applied for spots in the first year halls when there are only 2083 spaces available.

It said the university was assessing the needs of future students across all areas, including on campus accommodation.

In the motley crew of Donald Trump’s cabinet appointments, it would have been easy to miss the 45-year-old lawyer who is already part of the Washington establishment. On Sunday, Trump chose Carr to lead the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), praising Carr as “a warrior for free speech” and a fighter against “the regulatory lawfare that has stifled Americans’ freedoms”. The regulator has broad licence for enforcing rules around media plurality and fairness, which Carr is likely to deploy. “We must dismantle the censorship cartel and restore free speech rights for everyday Americans,” he wrote on X this week, interspersed with reaction GIFs and posts sparring with critics. Being heavy on rhetoric is par for the course in Trump’s inner circle, but Carr is one of the few with an action plan.

During the following question, Labour’s Duncan Webb told the Speaker that Stanford had made an unparliamentary remark when returning to her seat, and it would probably be appropriate for her to apologise.

The government's focus on slashing the budget deficit and reducing public debt is worsening the impact of recession on households and businesses, according to a group of economists. The group said an infrastructure deficit put at $104 billion was the result of successive governments' underspending, leaving the country ill-prepared for the future. "Private sector debt is being driven upwards by your government's fiscal policy in pursuit of surpluses for itself and its aim of rapidly reducing public debt. Not partisanPhoto: SuppliedThe group includes former productivity commissioner Ganesh Nana, whose department was one of the early casualties of the coalition government's public service crackdown. Group spokesperson Nana said it rejected any accusation that it was partisan and out of touch with mainstream economists' views.

“All of us have a patch on today – it’s not a gang patch today, it’s a whānau patch,” the MC said. We’re trying to make everyone be as one.”From Thursday, police will begin enforcing the Government’s new gang patch ban. “Potentially the police, enforcing a gang patch ban at that event, might have undermined some of that positivity,” he said. The new research, which has been conducted in partnership with police, makes an argument against the gang patch ban. Ihi Research director Catherine Leonard, who led the qualitative interviews with members of marginalised communities, said their research and other evidence did not support the Government’s gang patch ban.

New Zealand Treasury says it expects to downgrade its economic and fiscal forecasts relative to Budget 2024 when it provides a half-year update next month, as the recession has been worse than expected. Weaker economic growth means a smaller economy and less tax revenue, increasing the challenge for the Government in balancing its books”. Productivity hits zeroStephens said the “deteriorating economic outlook” was not only because of a deeper recession, but also because of a sustained productivity slowdown. “As this reality has slowly been revealed by the data over the past two years, the Treasury has lowered trend productivity in successive forecasts,” Stephens said. Stephens said each downward revision of economic growth forecasts made it harder for the Government to bring its revenue and expenditure back into balance.
