New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern is facing an uphill battle for re-election next year, based on the latest opinion polls. The result puts Ardern’s Labour Government at risk of losing its majority at next year’s election with the Nationals and ACT now projected to secure 64 MPs, three more than the 61 required.

These are dastardly circumstances to be heading into an election and it will take a minor miracle for Jacinda Ardern to secure a third term.

But first up today there was another dairy auction, and on the face of it, it was a lackluster affair. That means in local currency prices are down -15% over the past two months, compared to the equivalent -9% drop in USD.

And India is in an even better state still, with their services sector expanding at about the same pace as the US. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 71.6 and back to where it was in the middle of last week.

An Alexandra farmer whose first-ever descent of the Nevis Bluff rapids in a jet-boat a year ago spawned a viral internet video, has been slapped with a $1500 fine. O’Sullivan was prosecuted by the Queenstown Lakes District Council for breaching its Navigation Safety Bylaw 2018, which prohibits powered vessels from a section of the river that includes the rapids. A dramatic five-minute YouTube video of O’Sullivan negotiating the rapids has had about 50,000 views. First contacted by the council about the incident in February, he admitted his actions in a formal interview in April. The bylaw was well understood by most boaties and there was no excuse for taking risks and putting others in danger.
