Voters who elected the ACT/National/NZ First Government have to own it
Voters who elected the ACT/National/NZ First Government have to own it. The scale of carnage this hybrid mutation of spite will cause is on those who voted for it! The magnitude of using the State to punish the weak while actively empower the rich is a sickening political vandalism of the egalitarian state but voters don’t give a fuck. All they wanted to do was shit on Labour with no idea what they voted in! If you can’t contribute but want to help, please always feel free to share our blogs on social media

Big banks say non-performing loans could double over the next year
The country's big five banks are projecting that non-performing loans as a share of their lending could more than double from current levels over the next year, according to the Reserve Bank (RBNZ). "Households have been able to adapt by reducing discretionary spending and working with their banks to manage the increased debt servicing burden. "While household incomes have grown strongly in recent years, further increases in interest rates may result in a larger rise in loan defaults. "While shorter-term mortgage interest rates have continued to climb, longer-term rates have generally stabilised over the past six months. Pockets of stress are likely to emerge globally as debt servicing costs continue to increase."

Save a cow, eat a dressSave a cow, eat a dressSO HOT: Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan models a dress made of lettuce leaves, complete with a chili pepper knecklace. The dress worn by Chinese actress Gao Yuanyuan looked good enough to eat. Draped in the dark green, form-hugging leaves, Gao also sported a necklace made of gleaming red chili peppers. "I think going vegetarian doesn't always equal health," said a Beijing resident who gave only her surname, Wang. If you only eat vegetables, there's bound to be some lack in your dietary requirements."

Saving for a house deposit – will it ever happen?
New Year’s resolution: “OK, I'm going to start saving for my house deposit, so I won’t buy coffee for the rest of the year.” Yeah right. A survey of 2,000 Americans by Capital One found that people are willing to sacrifice to save for a house deposit. So, how do you make sustainable changes to increase savings for your house deposit? If you feel you just can’t tighten the belt anymore and the house deposit is looking like an impossibility, there is something else…Earn more income. If you are feeling stuck on the road to saving for your house deposit, I know where you’re at, I have been there too.

Unemployment rate is still historically very low - Business Editor
An expected quarterly rise in our unemployment rate. Stats NZ data shows it's at 3.9% for the three months to September, up from 3.6% last quarter, and 3.2% a year ago. NZ Herald Business Editor, Liam Dann, told Tim Beveridge that while unemployment going up isn’t generally considered a good thing, a bit of “slack” in the labour market is needed to help combat inflation. He said that 3.9% is still, historically, very low. LISTEN ABOVE

Sir Peter Jackson steps into music video debut with final Beatles song
Sir Peter Jackson has stepped into the world of directing music videos for the first time, directing the video for The Beatles’ final song. The track, called Now And Then, will be available Thursday, November 2, as part of a single paired with Love Me Do, the very first Beatles single that came out in 1962 in England. Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr and George Harrison worked on Now And Then in the same sessions, but technological limitations stood in the way. “Just thinking about the responsibility of having to make a music video worthy of the last song The Beatles will ever release produced a collection of anxieties almost too overwhelming to deal with,” Jackson said.

Monster tsunami artwork stuff of Hollywood movies
May I point out that the last Weekender insert featured an imagined mega-thrust tsunami that is the stuff of Hollywood disaster movies. Comparing the wave pictured with Tuamotu Island (36 metres high), Young Nick’s Head (177 metres) and the distant shore hills, this monster would have to be an absurd several kilometres high! Recent scientific studies have estimated the height of a magnitude 9 mega-thrust tsunami to be anywhere between 12m and 30m. The article itself seem liked another handout from council, patting itself on the back for its new civil defence building and its exercise. Information on what the public could do in such an event would have been relevant — but if a 30-metre tsunami wave rolls in, even the new Civil Defence building at Lytton will not be safe.

Riverside Cherries hopeful of good Christmas harvest, despite Cyclone Gabrielle
In February, Cyclone Gabrielle caused the Ngaruroro River in the eastern North Island to burst its banks. Consequently, it smashed through Riverside Cherries’ 10-hectare apple orchard, also affecting 7 hectares of cherry trees. The Twyford business lost all the apple trees and half a hectare of cherries. What we lost, we replanted in young trees, then we had to start the big job of repairing our cages. They were completely washed away and broken, so that’s seven hectares of netting, so it was quite a job.

Yowie on the Loose: Hot off the Breville
against Welsh, speculation on the next Wallaby coach, World Cup referee abuse and pure class from South Africa. Last year Polly and their children were the target of threats after he officiated South Africa’s defeat by France. If you had that there would be substantially more penalties and free kicks – do fans really want that? Referees are not above criticism but the automatic blaming and abusing of referees appears to be a developing trend amongst rugby fans, and it is not one that will lead anywhere good. RSA Government declares ‘the Webb Ellis is in South Africa’s kant’(Photo 2 October 2021 by Stephen Tremain)The Guardian reports that the South African government has declared that “the Webb Ellis is in South Africa’s kant” after the Biltong-eaters beat the flock-botherers on Sunday morning (proper time).
