Photo: NZ HeraldAct Party co-founder Sir Roger Douglas says his former party has “lost the plot” and he will not be voting for it in the coming election because he believes Act only represents the wealthy. Douglas’ letter, first reported by BusinessDesk, discussed New Zealand welfare provision and included his take on the welfare policies of Labour, National, Act and the Green Party. “While I have voted Act, in the last nine elections, since 2002 I have not done so with much enthusiasm. “Some people will be surprised [to] see me criticise Act and their approach to welfare as much as I do.

Act Party co-founder Roger Douglas is sitting on the fence this election. Douglas was one of two founding members of the Act Party in 1993, alongside former National Party MP Derek Quigley, after being instrumental in Labour’s neoliberal reforms in the 1980s. But Douglas has become increasingly disillusioned with the Act Party, which he says has strayed from its original principals and now “represents only the wealthy”. National party leader Christopher Luxon said he wanted as big a party vote as feasible and he’d accept all-comers. “We’ll take Roger Douglas, and we’ll work hard to get as many New Zealanders as possible to party vote National,” he said.

A surefire way to prevent fossilflation is to get off fossil fuels altogether. The trend lines support a cautiously optimistic outlook on the clean-energy future. But even if we can no longer prevent climate change, we can still mitigate it by minimizing the accompanying uncertainties. Climate risk is financial risk, and climate action is an insurance policy – for the world as much as for individual companies and for us as individuals. Gernot Wagner, a climate economist at Columbia Business School, is the author, most recently, of Geoengineering: The Gamble (Polity, 2021).

National are still barely ahead of Labour and ACTs race baiting keeps empowering the Maori Party. If the Maori Party are focused on legacy, they will make those bottom-lines for their Supply and Confidence support universal policies gains, not intrinsically Māori interests. Bottom-lines as broad as that in a cost of living crisis will see many working poor vote Maori Party. Labour holds the centre, the Greens just hold and the Maori Party does the heavy lifting. That is the only mathematical way the Left wins.

Westpac economists are sticking to their market outlying view that the Reserve Bank will increase the Official Cash Rate again next month. Most economists now believe the RBNZ is 'done' with the OCR hikes, which have seen the rate rise with unprecedented speed from just 0.25% in October 2021. The Westpac economists are still sticking by their view that the RBNZ will be forced into action sooner, as soon as next month. "However, the month ahead will see some key information in the form of the June quarter CPI and labour market report," Gibbs said. Westpac economists are among a group of main bank economists that have forecast quarterly headline inflation at 0.9%, which would see annual inflation slipping to 5.9%.
