Here's our summary of key economic events over the weekend that affect New Zealand, with news of growing and spreading unrest in China, even in some key cities. However, social unrest is boiling over from the endless lockdown pressures. It started when crowds took to the streets in Xinjiang's capital of Urumqi, chanting "End the lockdown!" And the New Zealand Govt ten year will start today little-changed at 4.16%. That all means our TWI-5 starts today at 71.3 and up +70 bps from this time last week.

The government is merging TVNZ and RNZ into ANZPM, or “Anz-Pam”, as it is known within the organisations now. The TVNZ historical drama Panthers was the big winner at the 2022 NZ TV AwardsTVNZ 45, Warner Bros. Yet TVNZ absolutely dominated the TV awards – to such an extent that it was a bit grotesque, almost politically inconvenient. What that says is that the expensive business of making professionally produced TV shows is losing to the chaos and pace of user-generated content for the global social platforms. Those are simply the stakes of the decade, and ANZPM, NZ on Air and the whole TV industry must recognise that if it is to survive.

The matter is before the court so speculation is dangerous but the sense of testosterone fueled stupidity is strong. And more recently he has taken pot shots at Jacinda Ardern because of robberies and ram raids of dairies. We will also launch a petition to demand the protection of dairy owners,” Kaushal said. If you want to apportion blame then the toxic consequences of Roger Douglas’s and Ruth Richardson’s policies can be blamed. The last thing we need is more overblown rhetoric and simplistic solutions to resolve a problem that is decades in the making and will require compassion and generosity to fix.

In a statement today, ACT education spokesperson Chris Baillie said "In term 2 of this year, 60 percent of students did not attend regularly". A recent Ministry of Education attendance report showed the number going to school regularly was 39.9 percent. Baillie said the rate was "shocking" and that "New Zealand is not a sustainable society". "It is not passing enough knowledge from one generation to the next to maintain first world status."

Winston Peters has declared New Zealand First won’t join a governing coalition with Labour after the 2023 election. Many voters will recall Peters explicitly ruled out National before the 1996 election and then formed a coalition with them anyway. Depending on final election results, a minority coalition could form a government if it has the support of another party (or parties) on confidence and supply votes. If the election dates set in 2014, 2017 and 2020 (before COVID intervened) are any guide, we’d expect the election to be on September 23. But the final vote count and the government formation negotiations (which could be drawn out) would then come close to the Christmas break.

Waka Kotahi would not elaborate on the criminal case and when police were approached by Open Justice twice on the matter, they did not respond. The transport agency has the power to prosecute a person or company for breaches of legislation it is responsible for. The transport agency was also not able to say if part of its investigation was around the possibility of a "chop shop" operation because these were matters outside its jurisdiction as a regulator. While Waka Kotahi could not elaborate on the investigation, it did outline how it gets alerted to problems with vehicles. For regulatory matters, Waka Kotahi has a number of intervention options to manage non-compliance, including education, engagement, and enforcement.
