Breakfast briefing: Strong labour markets help public finances
Meat prices rose marginally, but dairy prices fell in this UN-FAO tracking. Singapore's retail activity rose +2.2% in March and a sharp deceleration of the February rate. Given they have inflation running at +5.5% and the retail data is nominal, that suggests real retail activity is down -3.3%. The jobless rate dipped to 3.4% and their participation rate is unchanged at 62.6% so there remains plenty of capacity for more improvement. This strong labour market is supporting non-housing consumer credit growth which came in higher in March than expected.

MEDIAWATCH: Here comes the Disinformation Project pimping restrictions on free speech again
Anti-trans hate in NZ becoming ‘genocidal’ – Disinformation ProjectHate towards New Zealand’s trans community has increased ‘substantially’, according to new data from the Disinformation Project. While the woke middle class activist base fuels a culture war the Left can’t politically win, the Right are laughing all the way to the bank.. Free speech allows her to speak, and it allows you to protest her when she speaks, but descending into a culture war where street violence is justified is simply playing into her hands. Painting everyone with woke guilt for crimes against identity politics dogma for being alarmed at the militancy on display as the Disinformation Project does feeds that culture war, it doesn’t challenge it!

Don't need a weatherman
In the case of Three Waters, Labour’s leadership was quite happy to leave pretty much the whole thing to Nanaia Mahuta. When that happened the response of Labour’s Pakeha leadership was instructive. It is vital that Te Pāti Māori does not do the same. Regardless of the centre-left’s choice, Te Pāti Māori must not loosen its grip on the radical bunting. What if Te Pāti Māori mobilises younger voters in unprecedented numbers?

Penny Mordaunt emerged as the Pippa Middleton of the Coronation
Leader of the House of Commons Penny Mordaunt has emerged as the quiet star of the Coronation ceremony – one that nobody saw coming. For the ceremony, Mordaunt was required to carry the 17th-Century Sword of State into the Abbey in the King's Procession, and continue to hold it aloft for much of the service – specifically at right angles to her body. The sword, decorated with royal symbols including the lion and union and fleur de lis, is also used during the state opening of Parliament. She had prepared for the moment though, drawing on her training as a Royal Navy reservist to ensure that she could hold it aloft for the whole ceremony. "It was one of two swords made for Charles II and only one survives.

New Zealand Indians: Indian citizen sentenced to life imprisonment for fatal attack on woman in New Zealand
A 33-year-old Indian-origin man has been sentenced to over 19 years in prison in New Zealand. The man is accused of sexually assaulting and fatally strangling a woman with Down syndrome. Shamal Sharma was sentenced to the minimum term of mandatory life imprisonment by Justice Edwin Wylie at the High Court in Auckland this week, the NZ Herald reported. Public prosecutor Matthew Nathan told the court that some of the injuries were so brutal that they alone could have caused his death. He accepted that Sharma was suffering from schizophrenia, but said that the attack was motivated by sexual desire.

New Zealand: Indian-origin man sentenced for torturing, strangling woman to death
Auckland: A 33-year-old Indian-origin man has been sentenced to more than 19 years in prison in New Zealand for sexually violating and fatally strangling a woman with Down syndrome in 2021, media reports said. Sharma was arrested in September 2021, two days after 27-year-old Lena Zhang Harrap’s body was discovered about a kilometre away from her Mt. According to court documents, Harrap encountered Sharma early in the morning when she had stepped out for a walk. He tortured her over a period of about two hours, inflicting multiple blows to her face before strangling her, which led to her death. The report quoted Justice Wylie as saying that Sharma’s offence included “a high level of brutality and callousness against a profoundly vulnerable woman, described by the family as childlike”.
