Native trees may be slow starters when it comes to sequestering carbon dioxide, but when they get going, they really get going. And the carbon dioxide stays in those trees for a very, very long timeI certainly hope not. As the Climate Change Commission pointed out earlier this year, both the Government and the Opposition have got themselves into a total muddle about forestry policy. Native trees may be slow starters when it comes to sequestering carbon dioxide, but when they get going, they really get going. And you, the two Chrises, would in the process write your names into the pantheon of climate heroes.

Loig pre-seasonRoger Tuivasa-Sheck has wasted no time in his return to loig, starting his pre-season early for his new team the Warriors.

New Zealand's official cash rate has stayed in place at 5.5 for the last four months- yet several banks have hiked their mortgage rates. Anyone who has re-fixed a mortgage in the past few months has felt the sting of increased rates ticking upwards. NZ Herald business editor at large Liam Dann says these hikes are proof New Zealand is at the mercy of international market forces, namely the US and China. LISTEN ABOVE

The Council of Trade Unions has worked out just how many families would get that – it estimates about 3000 households would. “If the National Party disagrees with this analysis, it should show who benefits and when,” said CTU economist Craig Renney. Incredulity at the suggestion that Labour is a better manager of the economy than National. Put aside the corporate angst and the uber rich donation dollars being spent on trying to achieve even lower tax rates Labour manages the economy better than National.

The New Zealand Government ran an operating deficit of $9.4 billion in the financial year ended June 2023, as corporate tax revenue came in $2.4 billion below forecast. Treasury had predicted a deficit of just under $7 billion but, as previously reported, revenue was 1.6% lower than expected — largely due to lower corporate tax revenue. Total revenue was $153 billion, up $11.4 billion from the prior year, but was $2.5 billion below the forecasts included in Budget 2023. The deficit was added to net debt, which finished the year at $71.4 billion or 18% of gross domestic product, roughly as forecast. Robertson said the government had found $4 billion of savings in response to the weaker tax revenue which ensured the country remained on a “sustainable fiscal path”.

National has stalled and is going backwards and Labour has had a good couple of weeks. In 2005 the final Colmar Brunton poll had National on 44% and Labour on 38%. The final vote, after the good people of South and West Auckland and Porirua turned up in their droves was Labour 41% and National 39%. And Luxon struggled to explain how the comrades at Goldman Sax were wrong in claiming that National’s policies were inflationary.

Wellington Central’s National candidate has deleted a video of him fire-spinning over music licensing confusion. Scott Sheeran uploaded the video of himself spinning fire poi on Wellington’s waterfront to Instagram on Monday, proclaiming voting was open and the National Party was “on fire”, but by this morning the video was deleted. When questioned by the Herald, Sheeran said there had been some slight confusion over whether the music he used was licensed or not. The National Party bought Eminem Esque from a company called Beatbox, which in turn bought the licence from California-based music library Labrador. The National Party successfully reduced that to $225,000 on appeal to the Court of Appeal.
