Heather du Plessis-Allan: The case of Michael Wood will go down as a perplexing political stuff-up
The case of Michael Wood, I think, has got to go down in history as one of the most confusing political stuff-ups ever, don’t you think? He should have declared them all when the Cabinet Office was chasing him about the airport shares- twelve times. Because if the other shares were in the same ball-park as the Auckland Airport shares, around $16,000- it’s not worth it. No-one thinks this is an oversight, because Michael Wood is not a stupid man. Because it would have been a bad day for New Zealand if Michael Wood had come back to his job as Transport Minister.

Tapper adds to Forsman’s Melbourne arsenal
"He was booked to go over there at 6am this (Wednesday) morning but that has been put back until midnight. Provided he pulls up okay after the trip he will be starting," said former trainer and part-owner Bruce Tapper. He had been in work for just under two months after a spell, so Terry Kennedy did a really good job," Tapper said. Tapper is eager to see how his homebred performs in Melbourne, with the fate of a couple of his other runners, including Group Three winner Speciality, hinging on the outcome. "Specialty has been back in work for just under a month and all going well with Redmond, Specialty will head the same way over to Melbourne," Tapper said.

Wood resigns after revelations of more shareholdings
Michael Wood has quit as a Cabinet minister after it emerged he had more shareholding interests in areas that clashed with his portfolios. Asked if Wood lied to him, Hipkins didn’t answer directly, saying Wood hadn’t appropriately disclosed his shares. On Wood’s explanation of why he didn’t disclose the other shares, Hipkins said Wood told him he'd had the shares for a while. Wood’s future in politics was a question for him,” the Prime Minister said, noting MPs who made mistakes have come back from that. Asked if Wood could become a Cabinet minister again, Hipkins said that would be considered if the opportunity came up.

Housing rents held on to their summer gains as the market headed into winter
The residential rental market appears to be holding steady, with the number of properties rented in April following its usual seasonal course while rents held on to the gains made at the start of the year. The latest rental data from Tenancy Services shows it received 11,157 tenancy bonds in April, down slightly from the 11,802 it received in April last year. Bonds are usually lodged at the start of a tenancy and their numbers tend to peak over summer and then decline over the winter months. April's figures suggest the rental market is continuing to follow that trend this year and the bond graph below shows the monthly trend since the beginning of 2021. Rents also appear to be stabilising after a period of growth, with the national average rent climbing back to its record $575 a week in April.
